The kind of thing I say lounging in my chaise at the country club, right before the slobbish but gentle-hearted protagonist charges in, chasing a chicken

These four trans women have the chance to do the most historic egg-hatching ever

Yeah, the movies portray him like he's invincible, but in real life, I would just go pow pow, hit him right in the face before he could block and he would go down. I mean, he would be OUT.

“Take me out to the ball game” is just an ode to 1908 gamer girls. I love that every baseball game, it’s a tradition to stand up, raise your voice, and imagine a girl who’s just not like other girls. She’s into baseball, and she even knows how many strikes make an out!

This is redundant; every poster is a clown

The quote “Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it” is often taken out of context. George Santayana was talking specifically about Starfleet officers trapped in the Typhon Expanse

Gender is a performance, and I'm sneaking in some coy jokes that the censors won't get

Just the red sky in the morning, adjusted to rhyme

Me: This is going great so far; I understand perfectly.

Me, thinking about pizza: Ooo, this is gonna be a happy headline! Supreme things are really good!

Me: Uh oh

Me: Just get it over with. I'm sorry for having hope.

This is a number that's worth having in your head to get a sense of the scale of the issue here. The same amount of need. One tenth of the support. That's not business as usual. That's a sudden and utterly preventable cataclysm.

Thank you so much! I will totally check these out!

I feel like just mathematically there are certainly cool writing events and groups in Chicago, but I have no sense what they are or how to find them

Me: Okay, be honest. What do you think of the new dress? Does it look good on me?
The labyrinth guard who's my best friend: ...Why don't you ask my identical twin instead?

As for those three, they are so shockingly unpleasant to be around even when they aren’t on about us that not talking to them anymore will be like a cloud lifting away to reveal blue skies

Importantly, unlike trans people, transphobes absolutely won’t suffer to live their identity. They hurt trans people because they can get away with it, and if they stop getting away with it, all but, like, three of them will cut it out.

If someone says they're not interested in a relationship with you because you're "incompatible" that's code for you being faster than their walking speed but slower than their running speed

Also, "I consider my business settled with all trans sisters" makes her sound like a transphobic ghost trapped on Earth until she rights the wrongs of her political agenda

There's something so wild about admitting there is no compromising with transphobes and then wishing for better transphobes with whom to compromise. Realizing there's no reason to sacrifice the dignity and autonomy of your own community and it makes you angry because you wanted that reason.

If William Shakespeare were Chuck Tingle, he would still write the words "Hoisted by my own pétard"

That was a fascinating read!

This is largely true except that Harley Quinn

Anything worth doing is worth doing silly

Yeah, of course! The story concerns the returning outbreak of a lethal disease in Gotham City, and Batman's attempts to combat it with his closest allies by discovering its origin in the Middle East. The disease is known as the Apocalypse Plague, the Filovirus, Ebola Gulf A, or its more popular nic

Man who's still in denial of being trapped in a time loop: This isn't my first rodeo

No, these days it would be considered unwoke to murder a child in order to steal their youth

So just like wave 1 of internet reviewers, they opened up a market, but once that market is opened, they get lost in it to more sophisticated and higher budget material. And people are nostalgic for their trappings, but it's just nostalgia; they can't really compete with modern horror

Another case you can make is slashers are the Nostalgia Critic/AVGN of horror. They explode onto the scene because they're doing something new: they're American films that are openly violent and exploitative. But newness only lasts so long, and their success inspires higher effort work

This story is a little grim from the point of view of humans but it’s pretty cute if you imagine them as mosquito explorers. One of them has a little tiny compass and one has a pith hat, and when they land, they fly to the ground and kiss it with their proboscises

"You must have taken a wrong turn somewhere, stranger! That theah's the top shelf of the closet! We don't go theah!"
