So I am going to say something about romance as a genre.
A lot of people think that romance is ignorable because <insert thing they think about romance> and romance authors don't count because <insert thing they think about romance>.
This thread is not about whether you have to like romance.

listen, i donโt wish ill will on guard members, but if you send the texas national guard to the pacific northwest in the long dark, you are sending those people to die. it was dark when i got on the bus to work, it was dark when i got on the bus to go home and the rain is like the movie SEVEN

Sad to hear about the passing of the Michelangelo of Movie posters, RENATO CASARO. The Man painted so many iconic posters, specially in the 70s/80s: CONAN, TERMINATOR, DUNE, TOTAL RECALL, DANCE WITH THE WOLVES, BLOW OUT, FLASH GORDON, RAMBO, NEVER-ENDING STORY, and the list goes on and on. 1/2

"hard" sci-fi is when there's a butch with an undercut and a grease stained tank top

who do we @ here to suggest that blocking an account in your feed should auto-hide the post that got you to block them in the first place rather than having to do it manually and/or refresh the page. weird oversight tbh
