If you want book recommendations for a loved one for the holiday season (or for yourself), give me some parameters—genres, settings, moods, etc.—and I’ll give you some ideas. I read about 80% fiction and 20% nonfiction.

Hi I'm 30 years old now. If you would like me to be more trans and gay you can pitch in here lmao

even the smartest folks whose takes i otherwise appreciate, who otherwise want to resist fascism themselves & encourage others to, find wearing a mask in, at least, public indoor spaces—to prevent the harms of this administration from impacting others—to be a bridge too far; it’s shameful, frankly.

I can’t really do slashers (too chicken) unless they’re horror comedies or like this one, where it’s all about framing and shots (like looking up at a character through the rotary dial of a landline phone).

Sam Raimi in INTRUDER (1989).

He’s so adorable.

Intruder (1989) movie poster with a cartoon style killer wielding a butcher knife above a grocery store conveyor covered with a severed head and arm amongst random grocery items.

Fun! Grocery stores (and malls) are my favorite horror movie locations. They did a good job with the “annoying and toxic but family” vibe of people who work night shift together. No captions on Tubi so cone of shame for my beloved.

an illustration of book being pierced through by a sword, from the wound the thorns with red tips are growing, slowly changing into flowers, a red bookmark is there to symbolize blood. the book reads 'It's alright to say No. You will always be a villain in someone's story...'

To all my fellow people pleasers out there... 😌

We still need help covering this ask! $125 in so far! $1475 to go!

We covered a total of $1,973 in eviction prevention & utility support for three other folks today & could use help meeting this fourth ask.

Thank you all 🖤

I just think AI is so exciting bc it's a machine that you can get wrong answers from, that yields environmental devastation, and is being forced on all of us

One time our icebreaker at work was “which horror movie villain do you think you could defeat?” and I said Pennywise because she becomes your greatest fear and I’m afraid of everything so guess who’s going to get tired first. Not me.

FR, I have a mental illness and every time something spooky has happened to me I’ve been like “well this is annoying!” Like the time my medication kept me from sleeping properly until I started to see the ghost spiders. Just let me sleep, bro. I don’t have the energy for ghost spiders at this time.

but also EVENTUALLY it will occur to someone other than me that a genuinely mentally ill person, with a lot of experience dismissing their own intrusive thoughts/ delusions/ hallucinations, would make a GREAT horror protagonist.

average horror protagonist: the true horror is worrying that you might be going INSANE!!

me, already insane: fucking bring it, you bitchass ghost

Gonna make a Moonstruck 1½, which will just be the movie from Danny Aiello's perspective, just having the worst set of days of his life

To become dependent on ChapGPT is to evacuate yourself from your own life.

YIKES, no thanks. I’m gonna be alive inside every damn thing I do, even and especially the ish I don’t wanna do.

And now y’all wanna fuck ChapGPT????? BRING BACK BULLYING!!! Get the tar and feathers!!!!

Truly this is the “hold my beer” level of S-tier P&P retellings — took about three pages to get me from the classic “ugh, that horrible little Collins man” to “I would lay down my life for him”

Friendly reminder: Trans people are amazing.

I joke, I kid, but I do notice the difference when the math chapter relies more on memorization. My memory got thrashed by early trauma so while I *can* adjust for not being able to memorize stuff by instead using My Systems, it doesn’t feel as exciting as when I can figure stuff out by myself.

pre-orders are really important so you should definitely do it now because gift giving season is coming and books are always the perfect present and you should support living Black authors.

nice to see white ladies call out the "purity test" and "circular firing squad" rhetoric as total bullshit

The adultification of Black kids is the criminalization of Black kids, they see Black babies as full grown threats to justify coming down on them hard.

What do you MEAN math isn’t always fun. It is on reruns of Square One TV, the math-focused variety sketch show for kids.

This was the first time I had to say “I think YOU think that’s the correct answer” to two of the problems so that makes me sad. Boo, exponents. Boo.

FRACTIONS WITH NEGATIVE EXPONENTS A negative exponent in the numerator of a fraction becomes a positive exponent when we use its reciprocal. The new exponent is now positive. EXAMPLE: Simplify the expression Rewrite the negative exponent into a positive exponent. A negative exponent in the denominator becomes a positive exponent when moved to the numerator.

Oh! Okay, well I hate it so now what.

A lot of people are, very reasonably, thinking of acquiring/learning about guns right now. Without trying to discourage that, please consider asking yourself some of these questions first:

Do I have and know how to use naloxone? A tourniquet? A chest seal? Do I know how and when to use an EpiPen?

We don't have a mask rule because we don't understand the science.

We have a mask rule because we DO understand the growing body of evidence that covid can affect heart, brain, and more.

We have this rule because one of us already has life-changing #LongCovid and doesn't want you to experience it.

No.

Our mask requirement is not "virtue signalling".

It's protecting a) the cancer patient and b) the child who is still too small to wear a mask.

And also--and I can't emphasize this strongly enough--you.

screenshot of a tweet from me: Preeti Chhibber is over on 🟦 ☁️ @runwithskizzers · Oct 5, 2020 I keep thinking of this line about seat belts that was in an online drivers safety course I had to take in undergrad to get points cleared off my license: "Sure, seat belts might wrinkle your clothes a bit, but imagine what blood will do to them."

this is still how i approach masking lol

Leslie Feinberg in Stolen Moments (1997) dir. Margaret Wescott Quote from Leslie: “I take care of my emotional housework.”

Crying a little bit at this reminder from my hero.
