This had better be true in my group chat!

a cartoon character is giving the ok sign and saying perfection . Alt: Pacha from The Emperor’s New Groove saying “perfection” with a deeply satisfied expression

Living the October dream of turning off the AC but not turning on the heat yet

Well done 🤭

Do I need to report you to the Witchwood authorities? Because how can you be a nihilist when you’re part of such a group of sweeties

Good morning to only the enemies within

Ted Cruz saying “how ‘bout we all come together and stop attacking pedophiles” is my new Roman Empire

Is he actually unable to hear himself speak

This “medbed” idea is straight out of Stargate SG-1 from the 1990s. The Goa’uld were basically brainworms living in human bodies, btw, and they kept their human puppets close to immortal by going into their sarcophagi.

In case you’re wondering where the delusions are coming from
🤦🏻‍♀️

Devastated to hear that nobody got raptured, I had big plans for my left behind era ☹️

They think the rapture is happening on Tuesday, so when is Kimmel scheduled to return? Tuesday

People of Earth: more, please

I’m wondering if Melania’s stupid hat was chosen to cover up a cosmetic procedure that hadn’t healed up yet. Just a random thought. Talking about her stupid hat is a waste of time, of course

A think tank to justify doing what you’ve already been doing that has never worked in the past but you don’t want to change it

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life:

1. The first day it’s properly cool outside as fall begins
2. Acquiring a new book by a favorite author
3. A cat deciding to jump onto my lap to snuggle
4. Halloween decorations
5. Tiramisu

I just read something I’m going to have to think about for a while…

“For the people-pleasing creative, every step of your journey is going to be in the name of regulating someone else’s emotions.”
- We Need Your Art, by Amie McNee

(and the book has been giving me many other ideas to ponder)

Cheese. Hat

By age 30, you should have a magic act, your own ministry, some prostitute friends, and an omnipotent, all-loving father who orchestrates your crucifixion

If you want to know how I’m doing: I just watched a video of Vance getting booed and it brought tears of pride to my eyes

Go forth and boo Vance if you get the opportunity!

YES

I’ve been exclusively reading novellas for the last week, and I must mention three great ones:

- The Practice, the Horizon, and the Chain, by Sofia Samatar
- To Be Taught, if Fortunate, by Becky Chambers
- Time’s Agent, by Brenda Peynado

All science fiction, all outstanding! Esp. the first one

💙📚

Whenever I try to invent a weird fictional secret society, It turns out that there are several much weirder ones in the real world
😅😭

I like that song, but I support your right to be wrong 🤭

Anyone interested in climate change fiction should read The Afterlife Project, by Tim Weed. It’s a gripping look at how humans might handle a particular scenario within the next century, following timelines in 2068 and 10,000 years in the future. Excellent prose and characters, too

It is neither accurate nor short enough to be a tattoo, but that doesn’t stop people from acting on it

Mine is, “I know how to get from wherever I am to wherever you’re trying to go, and I have time to tell you”

“Thank you for your attention to this matter” is the new “go fuck yourself”

I’m reading an anthology of O. Henry Prize-winning stories, and I just don’t get what’s happening in most of them. What is being communicated? What is the reason to tell each story? Am I missing an important set of assumptions about life that would help, or is there no substance being conveyed?
