Smudge, looking quite content on the fresh-from-the-dryer top sheet

Smudge wishes you a happy 2026 and also wants you to cover him with that comforter you're about to put on the bed because he likes him a cozy enclosed space

good grief (on the events of May 31, 1964, days after the recording of "Linus and Lucky")

Into the unknown--

Happy New Year!

Fascists fundamentally misunderstand the politics of artists, of fashion, of self-expression, because they do not respect them and they are obsessed with conformity.

They do this a lot. In the same way that they insist all feminists are ugly, and that's why they're feminists. It's bullshit.

this year I would like to see more original characters and less fan art from everybody

2026 is the year I switch to "that's so real bestie" as a way to get out of a Jeopardy! contestant interview.

Writing advice thread ⤵️

This set of observations is produced by my scrolling Reddit and otherwise listening to people talk about "how to write."

A) there is no requirement that any of your characters has any sort of "arc" let alone a redemption.

B) there is also no requirement that your fiction has a plot.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

when people are all prissy about using refs like “i only draw from my mind” draw a horse from your mind right now. i want to see it. show me the mind horse. show it to me. now. i want to see. this has ceased to be about any larger artistic debate i just have to see the mind horse

I remember when women couldn't have credit cards, before 1974. This is why education is important. All must remember... none of this is ancient history.

Also, the naiveté behind "I don't know why these companies are degrading the quality of their services and maintaining their level of profit instead of lessening their level of profit and maintaining their quality of service," explains a lot about why we are where we are.

My own anecdotal experience is that if you can make a woman laugh, feel valued, and also make feel like her concerns are actually being listened to and (when requested) addressed, the female gaze when it comes to physicality is... forgiving.

Screenshot: No room for wokeness! @Wokenessisevil Notice how no one, not a single soul, has ever complained about the female gaze in entertainment. [photos show Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) and Alan Ritchson (Reacher) with ripped muscles]

This isn’t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. It’s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like he’d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice
