It is 1998. I am at the kitchen table writing Batman fanfic but I keep getting distracted by breaking news about a Bill Clinton sex scandal

I was looking for a job and then I found a job and heaven knows I'm miserable now

I had a dream where I went to approach him and he straight up ran away. Why, brain?

To the Editor: I am one of these so-called profoundly autistic people this article describes. I cannot utter meaningful speech, and as a result, I was branded for years as someone with an intellectual disability and an I.Q. of 40. All this time, however, I understood everything that was going on around me. I just could not show it to others because of my deranged relationship with my own body. I am concerned about the creation of a separate category, called profound autism, for those of us with the most severe disabilities. There are real differences between the sort of autism that I have and so-called Asperger's syndrome. But it does not help us at all to impose a hierarchy of lower and higher functioning. We need to figure out how to tap into the skills and insights of those of us who cannot talk, who make up anywhere from 25 percent to 40 percent of the autistic community, depending on the estimate. For me, the way out of this dilemma was learning to communicate by typing. I suddenly went from being seen as intellectually impaired to taking college classes. I was never low-functioning, and neither are my autistic brothers and sisters without the ability to speak. I was just misjudged and ignored, and I fear that my fate will be the fate of many others termed low functioning in this new schema. Jason Jacoby Lee New York

Pencil drawings of Frankelda, the little ghost and or witch star of the Mexican stop motion series. She's got a creepy old timey gown, striped stockings and a streak of white hair.

Love, LOVE her design. #art #soyfrankelda

It's a princess who makes friends with dragons, you can't go wrong

Jay reposted a joke post that was saying a bluesky user would walk into a waffle house and say 'oh so you hate pancakes??'
Then someone asked when she was banning the transphobes and she replied 'WAFFLES!' implying transphobia is 'just a difference of opinion' and not extremely harmful bigotry

This house listing specifically says "modern amenities". The gallery has at least 3 photos of just deer chilling in the yard. I assume these are linked.

Hubby just made pumpkin spice hot cocoa today and loved it

At last!

Actually... here's the sketch I did standing in line

Peter Beagle! Once at a con and once at a screening of The Last Unicorn. So glad I did ❤️

#KPopDemonHunters really proves that every time this industry underestimates teenage girls, it leaves a billion dollars on the table.

Pencil sketch of a petite woman and taller man with their backs to us, leaning comfortably against each other. They are pirates gazing out from the rail of a ship.

I'm more or less pleased with this. This is the kind of drawing that I think of as not having a style. Is that odd? Maybe it's just that "I made this" problem? #art #sketch #pirates

Series of rough pencil sketches of tricorn hats on sparsely rendered heads. Their shapes are puzzling and amorphous.

Here I am, desperately trying to comprehend the tricorn hat. For something you assume is a triangle, it is painfully illusive. I think they exist in more than 3 dimensions. #sketches #art #pirates

My switches are lost in the mail... 😩 I want my click clacks...
