reading (emily wilson's) odyssey and of all the stuff athena arranges, some of it is very impressive, but then sometimes it's like. athena surely an ordinary human could have given odysseus directions to the biggest local landmark. did this really need divine micromanagement

been bringing comic books to work to read on my break but there's only about a 50/50 chance I'll have the energy for that so sometimes it's just like okay Cassie Cain just came to work with me for moral support I guess

I'd figure a millionaire has one million in *liquid* assets. So Grandma who bought a house before the city gentrified but is living on her social security payments is not a millionaire.

G. Willow Wilson@gwillow.me

Speaking of money, help settle something: I always thought a millionaire was somebody who earned a million dollars a year. But apparently there is another camp that thinks a millionaire is someone whose *total assets* are a million dollars or more. Which is correct?

muslim superheroine who doesn't wear a mask or disguise her face in her costume but still has a secret identity because in her civilian life she wears a burqa. is this anything. (her family knows what's up.)

(- invite a person I want to be better friends with to a party - post the last chapter of a fic I worked really hard on - sign up for Yuletide - try to leave the house in time to go somewhere else before work)

okay I overall stand by my positive review of Dressmaker but Vivian specifically is killing me. oh you want an elaborate and gothic dress??? really??? girl this is the FIFTH TIME I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THIS EXACT BRIEF AND MOST OF THEM WERE YOU.

like I know hozier can DO sexy very well, and for that matter I've seen his pre-fame tweets so I know he has a sense of humor, but. man. he is NOT matching the energy of "gonna give you every inch of my [LOVE]"

I have a new cozy game about dressmaking and I'm having a GREAT time in general but specifically I really can't overstate how exciting it is that not only is there a fat character but she's characterized as a ruthlessly practical, hardworking businesswoman with her eye on the prize at all times

(ps: they're appetite suppressants. that's all they are. I have been on appetite suppressants much of my life and they have consistently caused me to GAIN weight, because: do you know how hard it is to eat enough to actually provide you with energy when you have no appetite?)

meaning, to be clear, that whether your insurance covers None or All of it or anywhere in between, some fucking bastard is making that much money off of you -- and like, it's the fucking Injection That Makes The Entire World Treat You Better! Of fucking course people want it! Obviously!

but it. fucking. should. not. work. that. way. IT SHOULD NOT WORK THAT WAY. I don't fucking want to be thin! I want to EXIST and have the fact that I'm fat be as neutral an element of my existence as the color of my hair!

I'm the heaviest person in my IRL circle by a significant margin and my job both plays various GLP ads over the radio and advertises them in various posters, and doing the billing for them also means I am reminded 10+ times a day that these things are the same price per month as a city one-bedroom

there is one (1) acceptable reason to get the attention of a headphoned looking at her phone by sticking your hand in front of the screen and waving, it turns out, and it is "hey I think you're waiting for the bus I drive and I'm leaving from a different spot than usual, come get on it"

tumblr posts which haunt me but which I've never been able to find again, #394: the one about fortnite that was like "in my day, when you loaded into a video game and the opposing team shot at you, you had the decency to shoot back. you didn't build a motherfucking Dutch Colonial."

was poking through my folder of unsorted TTRPG-related shit and discovered a spreadsheet labelled "balloonist shopping," which opened to reveal what appears to be a very plain character sheet for a system I do not recognize

I picked up a copy of the collected letters of JRR Tolkien for reasons, and this is the most bullshit table of contents I've ever seen. I'm actively angry that it exists

Sad to hear about Dolly Parton, but, as another great force for good said, you're not really dead until the ripples you leave in the world fade away, and with all the good she did for kids' literature and music, she'll ripple down the generations. We won't be truly without her in my lifetime.
