Reading my way through what the local libraries had of Diana Wynne Jones, particularly Hexwood, A Tale of Time City, Homeward Bounders, and Archer’s Goon. They really opened my brain up to twisty time-travely stories, and I’m still unpacking them to this day, 30 years later.

It does bring the actual user name back into sight, which does make me feel nostalgic for the It’s Walky! message board days of yore, even if I was very teenaged and poorly behaved for a lot of them.

Joyce Carol Oates from the top rope 😆

Beth specifically has already overheard a conversation that would make her think affair while she was out on the back deck smoking, and he caught her at it and knows she knows.

BASICALLY, yeah.

This fucking guy

I was so delighted by “chat jeepity” that I immediately told my roommate about it, which lead to:

Roommate: That’s a guy now. You’ve invented a whole guy named Chat Jeepity.

Me: Here to confidently come mansplain to you about everything and get it all wrong.

A screenshot from COMICBOOKFX.com of the sound effect SSSSSTTT. The text reads: Sub-Mariner's fingers burning as he touches Human Torch Strange Tales (1951) #107 Marvel, April 1963 "The Master of Flame vs. The Monarch of the Sea!!" Lettered by: Artie Simek Written by: Larry Lieber Pencilled by: Dick Ayers Next to a panel of Sub-Mariner pulling his singed hand back and saying "YEOOWW!" as his fingers burn with the "SSSSSTTT" sound effect.

me: what would this specific sound of burning skin sound like in sfx

comicbookfx.com: i got u

a long time ago I made things 2x harder for myself

but it was worth it

they are listening to my plea

Also they are really well made, so I can’t even pretend they’re worn out or anything as an excuse to get a new set, I just want an army of undead Plesiosaurs grinning back at me from every surface of my house.

THEY’RE JUST SUCH CHARISMATIC PLUSHES

I made this tonight and served it over lo mein noodles; it uses few, cheap ingredients, makes a ton of food, and is delicious.

And if you don’t have a slow cooker just cook it in a dutch oven, lid on, in the oven at 350 F for 1 hr 45 min

Please make the Jeffs sell out before I give in to the temptation to add to the pile of Jeffs we already own. Four Jeffs is definitely enough Jeffs, but as long as this sale is on, I will be making constant will saves against adding a third small/big pair to the household.

Know your subgenres,

Cracking open a cold one with the fellas: buddy comedy

Cracking open fellas with the Cold One: dark fantasy

Cracking open one fella with a cold: medical drama

A cold open with one cracking fella: sitcom

One cold fella with the open crack: public solo porn in winter

Isn’t. Isn’t that why the scraps folder is there. In case you need those later?

Or possibly a duck? I often see ducks eating frozen peas, and you do often have magnificent and iridescent plumage.

(...this also reminds me I should pick up more packs of frozen veggies, for similar reasons.)

I had enormous fun working on the cover for this! Go check it out now! :D

Anyway, many hugs.

Ouf, yeah, in any semi-active fandom bots are a plague. Restricting to registered users only doesn’t even manage to get rid of them all lately.

Grayscale digital art of a witch in pointed hat and flowing robe flying on her broomstick in front of a full moon, with the edge of her robe flapping up to reveal she’s wearing house slippers and a pair of bat-patterned underwear underneath.

Alternately:

TFW you were brewing potions in your Stylish Bat Underwear and ran out of eye of newt so you throw on a robe and some slippers and hope you don’t flash any important coven members on the way to WandMart.

Post a witch

(Well, three witches, in this case)

It’s a problem! They’re just so pretty! And there keep being kickstarters!

A small plastic drawer mostly full of assorted pins

If it makes you feel any better, here is my mostly full little plastic drawer of pins that probably contains at most 2/3rds of the pins I own.

The dark romance girlies have every man fooled into thinking we all have an abusive stalker fantasy. No, baby. Use that bass in your voice to ask me about my day. 😂

Let’s redo this one for fun #UglyDogs
