Democratic members of Congress should probably be made to understand that unless they throw everything they have at this, they are next.

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

Democrats, right now you need to be fighting Trump on everything. Big, small, everything. If he wants to pass gas, vote no

Moskau hat den Kalten Krieg nun also doch noch gewonnen. Putin hat die USA in der Tasche. Gut möglich, dass die USA die NATO in Kürze verlassen. Und das in einer Zeit, in der Russland militärisch und ökonomisch eigentlich keine Konkurrenz mehr war. Es ist das überraschendste Comeback seit Lazarus.

Could not agree with this more. When my word count goal was super high and I had a day I knew I wouldn't have time to hit it, sometimes I didn't write at all. I don't even use a WC goal anymore, just "do something on the novel," and my work rate has never been higher.

There is nothing I miss about filmmaking more than when an actor does something unexpected with the script or the blocking, something you’d never think of in ten lifetimes but now you can’t imagine them not doing. You feel like you’re floating. All the best parts of art-making are like this.

An M dwarf star with the text: "I am not a toy. I am not a Christmas present. I am a 10 trillion year commitment"

Think twice before gifting someone an M dwarf this holiday season

We think we understand the rules when we become adults but what we really experience is a narrowing of the imagination.

yeah, i can barely give mine away. feels like the moment to open it up to general sign-ups was a little while ago, and now the hype has sort of passed.

I have SO many odds and ends in my drafts folder that I'll never use for anything, but they brought me back from a slump or a dry spell. Even without a finished draft, it just feels so good to be moving again.
