I feel like reminding people that any body language analysis or similar practice that says "If this person is fidgeting or messing with their hair or avoiding eye contact, they're being DECEPTIVE" is bullshit because neurodivergent folks do that shit ALL THE TIME.

My partner has COVID. Thus far I am testing negative on a home test, so fingers crossed it will stay that way. 🀞

A female sex demon is called a succubus. A male sex demon is called an incubus. A non-binary sex demon is called an omnibus.

My partner and I have started a tradition of watching Hamilton every year on the 4th of July. It seems appropriate.

If by some miracle I get my series published and anyone asks me why books 4 and 5 are so bleak, all I need to tell them is I wrote the first drafts in 2025. Nuff said.

my most unpopular opinion is probably that β€œif it’s good enough, spoilers wonβ€˜t ruin it for you anyway” is actually kinda mid & basic intellectualism, based on a trite model of narrative meaning as "content" to be decoded & appreciated cerebrally rather than *import* to be experienced dynamically

Six panels, in the first a shuttlecraft from Star Trek Next generation is *awfully close* to a star of some kind. Let's call it an F-type, it'll either get the Trekkers nodding in approval or absolutely enraged. But then what doesn't.

Second panel, Beverley Crusher is at the controls of the shuttle, saying "Computer, notify me if external temperature gets too hot"

Third panel, computer text goes " *BEEP BEEP* PLEASE DEFINE "HOT" "

Fourth panel, Beverley Crusher responds "Let's say, 1.9 million Kelvins."

Fifth panel, titled Later: Picard is stood at his replicator, saying "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot."
The computer responds, as it always does, "*BEEP BEEP*"

Sixth panel, SCREENSHOT FROM TERMINATOR TWO OF PEOPLE BLOWN AWAY BY NUCLEAR BLAST. IT'S JUST A SKELETON AND FLAMES, UNBELIEVABLE HEAT, BURNING, INCANDESCENCE, EVERYTHING IS YELLOW AND ORANGE AND BURNING AND PICARD'S FAVOURITE MUG IS NOW PLASMA. BUT THAT'S PROBABLY NOT ON HIS MIND RIGHT NOW, AS HIS BRAIN IS NOW AEROSOL FORM, AT BEST.
It's all a bit toasty, basically.

Apropos of nothing, just been reminded of this and now it hurts to breathe. You're welcome.

JK Rowling pledges to keep up fight against SNP trans policies

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Out of curiosity, I ran some of my writing through an AI checker to see if it flagged any of it as AI generated. I gave it an allowance for the grammatical suggestions made by Word, but even then the checker tried to tell me 35% of my manuscript was AI generated.

Even these detectors ain't shit.

My cat jumps on the counter and paws at me while I'm brushing my teeth. Not because she loves me or wants pets. Oh no. The little weirdo wants me to breathe mint in her face.

I wanna re-emphasize something, to be clear:

TERFs can fuck off.

Fuck off further than anyone has ever fucked off before.

Then fuck even further off than that.

They will never be welcome around me and my fandoms.

Ever hip to the latest pop culture craze, I've finally started watching a little show called Our Flag Means Death. I'm 4 episodes in and I'm hooked.

The answer to why people think sex scenes in pop culture are unnecessary is that we as a society scorn people who practice the craft of making them good, and also scorn the very concept that it is a craft to begin with.

It is, very frankly, a skill issue.
