It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

A few more words on Nolan's choices regarding his film 'The Odyssey' from the one and only Mr. Katsikis, translated by Google:

A quarter of the entire deployed US Navy is now stationed in the Caribbean.

That goes way beyond frighteners.

Brother Gregor never spoke and often spooked the neophytes with his appearance, but he was a gentle soul and a phenomenal cook and knew more ways to prepare a fish than the abbot knew hymns

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

"one day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this"

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Teenagers are “too young” to make decisions on gender affirming care.

They’re “too young to vote”.

They’re too young to drink.

But they’re not too young to be sex trafficked and raped by Epstein and all his rich pals?

Be serious please.

I tried to explain this to my students by saying “Imagine somebody from Vanderpump Rules becomes president in 20 years” and they all laughed and then the laughter slowly died and they all got real quiet.

UPDATE: Person infected with bird flu in Washington state has H5N5. It's the first time H5N5 has been found in a human

Romance should evolve, but its so clear when people want the shine and financial benefit of Romance without respecting the genre, its conventions, or the readers. It's disturbing, but not surprising that we've arrived in a place where CRAFT DOESNT MATTER is a thing people believe.

i just have a hard time believing police officers were injured, and so should anyone else capable of cognition.

WE WON. I am *begging* you to take note of who did this. *Not* UCLA admin—they’re still scuttling around behind closed doors, attempting to appease—but FACULTY AND STAFF, led by AAUP.

Rather than trivializing how much toilet paper Ghislaine Maxwell has access to behind bars, remember that most incarcerated people have little to their name.

Toilet paper isn't a luxury – it's a basic necessity.

You get fined if you're late or miss a doctor's appointment but they can make you wait as long as they god damn well please as if you're not also losing money

It's important to love things, especially old forgotten things which were originally made to be loved.

A lot of people are going to walk away from the Ghislaine Maxwell coverage with the impression that our prison system isn’t punitive enough but I’d say it highlights how most everyone else is treated with *deliberate* cruelty.

Some BETTER LETTERER for you. And before the inevitable "that's not how I do it" replies, keep in mind that, by and large, this is how it's done in pro American comics (Marvel, DC, etc.) I've worked for all of them. More tips: blambot.com/pages/letter...

It’s so funny how the ONE thing that was actually pretty cool about the Roman Empire - their public works projects like the aqueducts and cloaca maxima- is also something the marble statue crowd has zero interest in, and consistently, vitriolically oppose in the present.

I attended SFF cons as a teenager.

I stopped getting regularly and persistently sexually harassed at SFF cons sometime in college.

"Oh wow you look way older"

No the fuck I did not because when I WAS older these weirdos stopped.

They know what the hell they're doing.

Hot damn, that's amazing!!!
