I need everyone to know that if I ever compare you to Miss Piggy in aesthetic and/or spirit, it is the highest compliment I am capable of giving.

Sounds haunted.

I’ve never known any Australian government to show something like an ethical backbone in my lifetime, but watching this one actively crawl inside the sphincter of a US president leading the Western march to fascism is really something.

Kidnapped in international waters, extraordinary rendition to a genocidal state, and then imprisoned indefinitely.

You'd think this would trigger the immediate expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador for these inexcusable actions against an Australian citizen.

Were you cancelled, or did a significant number of people on the internet just agree you're a twat?

If you tap your nails on a box in a video that requires you to open a box, please know that I am not wishing you well.

“Bring back the editors” has become a recurring chant in the book-focused discord I’m in. A staggering amount of trad pub books have become functionally unreadable in the past few years.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

A view of the back of an1890s dress showing the bodice with clusters of oranges woven into the fabric. It has black lace on the sleeves and a high collar

It took a highly sophisticated Jacquard weave to create the incredibly detailed oranges that form the fabric of of this early 1890s dress. You can almost smell the citrusy peel. There so many details to observe here, the pattern matching, the cuff trim, the drama! #V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

A few years ago I was sat on a train knitting while the old man next to me played Candy Crush. We shared a chuckle.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 1579: If you’re going to write in any genre (children’s fiction, SFF, romance, etc), you need to read EXTENSIVELY in that genre. You need to read current authors in the genre. You need to know what’s been done; what tropes exist; how the genre has changed.

I am mailing eight people their stickers tomorrow.

I still have 50 more of these.

Every time a new Taylor Swift album comes out I feel like I'm being pranked.

Just watched Judgement at Nuremberg (1961) for the first time. ~Fascinating movie, particularly when taken in the context of the ensuing sixty-four years, let alone the last two.

'Conference of Zionists Will Colonise Palestine' - June 20, 1899, 124 years, 3 months and 17 days before October 7, 2023

A day's worth of October 7 anniversary reporting painstakingly devoid of any broader context before or after that day hits really awkwardly when we all know what was and is happening; context isn't inherently exculpatory, you're not Hamas for doing your actual job

A screenshot from the Simpson's episode "Bart Gets Famous." It shows Bart as a guest on the Conan O'Brian show. Conan dances with a smile on his face. Bart dances with a grimace. The original line is "Sit perfectly still. Only I may dance." The poster has changed it to read "Only I may steal art."

I keep seeing people post UNATTRIBUTED anti-AI art they absolutely did not create in response to AI news and developments and I cannot fathom what the fuck they think they're doing.

Greta Thunberg On Her Detention: I'm "Not The Story" — It's Israel Violating International Humanitarian Law “I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story.”

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says:

"Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

Also A+ to us on the choice of that bed. Very soft, very good.

My dog likes to drag his bed into the sun and sit, gently sniffing at the air. I just laid down with him to see what the appeal was and pretty immediately fell asleep. A+ to the boy's lifestyle choices.
