We as a society learned nothing from Pleasantville and it shows.

Nobody has any right to be as funny as Zac Oyama #dropout #VIP

On SBL go to Annual Meeting on the top nav bar and there's a link on the left. Stupid to navigate but it's there. I think AAR has a dedicated page if you Google it?

Thank goodness tbh

It sounds weird both ways!

*Some piddling social media AI*: Let me help you fix your grammar 😇
*Me, with 3 biblical studies degrees and copyediting exp*: Do not quote the deep magic to me, witch.

I have the short version:

Mary Sue originally meant "obvious author self-insert in fan fiction, respected and adored by established characters to a humorous degree"

Now it means "any woman who displays 1/5 of the abilities James Bond regularly displays."

Get it? Got it? Good.

Cold Comfort Farm (and before someone tries "that's a rom-com, not a horror," she saw something nasty in the woodshed, ok?)

Super not a lawyer, but if racial discrimination is legal in federal hiring now, does that mean that Affirmative Action is legal again, too?

Facebook post by Alt National Park Service: The Trump administration warned federal employees of "adverse consequences" for not reporting colleagues resisting orders to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, giving a 10-day deadline to report via a special email account. Our coalition has now grown to nearly 2,000 federal employees. During the last term, the Trump administration initiated searches for resistance members. This is a reminder to use only our designated communication channels. Comment on the post by the same account: "If you'd like it: DEIAtruth@opm.gov

You know the drill, internet.

Sunny and cold is worse than rainy and cold because my dog keeps bothering me to open the door and let her outside.

Social media is hard when you have a fundamental aversion to talking about yourself.

video games are an invaluable tool in teaching children to find and kill god

Meteorologists say the Los Angeles fires were caused by drought and gale-force winds. But a growing mass of X users suspect a different cause: DEI.

Same. I Hate Teaching until the moment I actually start teaching.

There's no remedy for grading, though.

That makes me wonder what Irish authors name their hot fae characters.

Edith?

In which I say something pithy and engagement-driving, and then do it again and again every day.

😀🤑🤯💀

At least 30 times daily I ask Iris whether she is, in fact, a dog.

In my defense, she acts like a cat 90% of the time so it's reasonable to be confused.

How dare you try to yum other people's yuck. Don't you know complaining about Veilguard is the only thing keeping us sane in this economy?

(jk, I loved it too. Please play rock paper scissors with Manfred all the time. It makes him so happy)

Kicked off the New Year with @dropouttv.bsky.social and We ❤️ Katamari, and I expect the world to maintain that energy for the next 364 days.

All the women in my bathroom mirror this morning had DEI chins.

Elon swinging around to full leftist* because he thinks more people will like him that way.

*only on socials--not with actual spending money obviously

Update on the fantasy attempt: 10k words (holidays + PTO is a great combination, 10/10, would recommend), and no it's not thinly veiled Dragon Age fanfic that I'll fix in edits, why would you think that?

"As such" doesn't mean "therefore."
"As such" doesn't mean "therefore."
"As such" doesn't mean "therefore."

But then you start typing faster than you think and you spell it "knifes."* So, you know, pros and cons.

*WHICH SCRIVENER'S SPELLCHECK DIDN'T CATCH

Discovery writing (pantsing) is so cool because you're halfway through an action scene going, OMG I wonder if they're going to make it.

Sorceress is about a woman who finds, among other things, that she can telepathically communicate with/control spaceships. I keep saying it's a working title but I haven't thought of anything better.

Everyone assumes that Odysseus would be the human actor, but I submit that Telemachus would be funnier.

For software created specifically for professional writing, Scrivener has an absolutely shit spelling dictionary.

How is everyone on my feed talking about #Leverage suddenly?

*looks around at everything*

Oh, right. Carry on.
