Reminds me of the "He's not racist, he's just terrible to everyone!" defense. Like the damage done doesn't "count" if it wasn't intended in a racist way.

Do you actually have oppositional defiance disorder or are the people around you just really good at saying the exact opposite of what will convince you to do/not do the thing?

I love Christmas but, too often, red gives me a reaction, so I tend to stick to green.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

cover for This Movie Doesn't End the Way We Want by Hailey Piper, cover art by Julia Lloyd. The art depicts a fedora over a suit with no face between them, replaced by the eerie light of a film projector catching the dust in an ethereal glow. A quote from Paul Tremblay calls the book "fun, creepy, and thrilling"

You get there how you get there. Both paths have their fair share of cons and terrible writing. I've sincerely questioned if an editor even glanced at some trad pub books.

Oh yeah, even with people I know will listen and not jump into fix it mode I'm still kind of bracing for "at least" or "could be worse".

I used to get ocular migraines semi regularly and definitely not a fan. Hope your treatment plan is successful and you're no longer losing vast amounts of time and energy to headaches anymore.

Good News: On my last follow up, my FFS surgeon was confident things were okay.

Bad News: The whole process was way more expensive than I anticipated and all the money I had set aside to help me get through my revision next month is now gone.

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

Not a specific character but I'm always delighted when my characters turn out to be sassier than I expected. I really just want to be writing dialog for Katherine Hepburn, Rosalind Russell, and Myrna Loy.

Never mind the jobs you've had, tell me five classes you took in college:

1. History of the US space program
2. Language acquisition
3. Philosophy
4. World Literature
5. Greek Mythology

I think it's healthier (for me, anyway) to take some sad time and just feel the feels instead of constantly pressuring or gaslighting myself into a more "positive" emotion. Not wallowing so much as this is how I feel right now and there's nothing wrong with that.

They need to believe the reason you're still sick is because you're not doing it "right" because if you are doing everything right and are still like this - that's a reality that's too hard for them to accept. And they take that fear out on you but say they're just concerned and want better for you.
