My boyfriend broke a tooth and the first available dentist appointment is at… tooth hurty

See you there!

Kids in my neighbourhood keep scamming me. They know I’m a soft touch. I’ve spent $26 on popcorn and chocolate bars that never arrive. I want my snacks but I have to respect the hustle

@rikergoogling.bsky.social can we have Riker AI Prompts? Sort of a Riker Googling The Next Generation if you will

I would not presume! Only Courtney can say for sure

Heh heh the title is less enigmatic for some than others

Hey babe new season of Drag Race just dropped

If you like the idea of chosen family, wait until you hear about having friends!

PLR has a tax form that they mail you with your annual statement. I don’t know about Access Copyright (though I probably should!)

Our first bluesky post! How do you sign up to be a penpal to an LGBTQ+ prisoner through the Prisoner Correspondence Project?

With nearly 3000 prisoners waiting for penpals for up to 7 years, we desperately need new penpals! Sign up now, and tell your friends ❤️‍🔥

If only there were an acronym for this missing out I’m fearing

Gosh darn it. I went to AWP in 2018 and never really considered going back, but so many great people are there this year, in one of my favourite cities.

Yeah I hear you. I think so far there’s nothing close to FB’s reach in terms of events. So many organizers only have info about events on FB and nowhere else! I wonder what’s happening on Stillepost these days 🙃

So far I haven’t seen people share events - it’s more like Twitter here than FB. Less local connections

Also: getting a digital kitchen scale changed my cooking forever. I feel empowered - nay, emboldened! - to make more exciting things when I’m not trying to convert grams into tablespoons

Here’s my unsolicited life advice: whenever I go grocery shopping, I always buy Italian parsley or green onions or both. They usually cost less than $2 and between the two of them you can make pretty much any meal feel 85% fancier and more delicious

What’s a belief your brain is sure is true, no matter how often you tell it otherwise? Mine is that it’s illegal to cover your ears when you hear an emergency vehicle siren, and that News is an acronym of North East West South

Was going to say this too… I got the Olga books for my goddaughter. If Sinclair enjoys the scientific process and fart jokes, it’ll be a hit

When she gave the slogan “Make America Great Again” to the strongman populist president of the 1998 sequel, Parable of the Talents, she knew that slogan had been used multiple times already in American politics - and not just by Republicans

Butler also wrote about fires that destroy the California home of her protagonist. She wasn’t a psychic. She didn’t have a magic crystal ball. She was a scholar and a reader. She understood history.

How come calling a cat a stinky little man is cute but it sounds deranged to call a cat a stinky little woman

“The book was better.”

Hello, let me ruin (or improve!) your day by informing you that Robert Service’s “The Cremation of Sam McGee” transposes perfectly onto Tone-Loc’s Funky Cold Medina

Me: Science fiction isn’t meant to be taken as a literal prediction of the future but rather a tool for examining the anxieties of the present
