“I didn’t look at your naughty Bogart fantasies,” Vanth said. Caldyr got out of the van. “Sam Spade is a fine, fine man. One of the few.” “I don’t judge.” She slammed the van door. “So fine.”

Caldyr is aromantic and asexual but she likes one (1) man, a classic movie star from 3/4 of a century ago that played a fictional PI so well it inspired her life goal to be a detective

I will!

Thanks Holly! Damn that’s a great endorsement 😊 I’m going through some stuff with republishing since I couldn’t deal with Amazon anymore but I’ll be shouting a bunch once I’ve got them out again.

Lol I imagine that can be a problem for some types of fairies.

Really I made their powers emotionally reactive so that’s probably something I should have considered. Annabelle is a fire fairy and her bf isn’t fireproof at all 🥲

i can’t believe this is real.

professionalism vanished a while ago.

Making Caldyr venomous has never been useful in a story but I’ve made so many jokes about her wanting to bite people.

I should probably clarify somewhere that she only has a mild paralytic venom that won’t kill anything over a few pounds but still.

I’m working on it. I think I figured out about all I need to get going again at least so yay 🥳

On past me for deciding to write it without really thinking this through, maybe. If I could.

This story idea is so complicated it has me plotting 😭

Me too! They did such a great job refreshing the idea. Perfect setting.

Truly. I watched it again a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been thinking about it since.

a man says " i love that " in front of a poster for kong Alt: Tom Hiddleston says " i love that " in front of a poster for kong

Kong Skull Island is still just fantastic. Great soundtrack, characters that make terrible choices, Brie Larson, Tom Hiddleston being hot with a sword, and a giant ape what more could you want

I was listening to an old Casey Kasem American Top 40 (I find this soothing these days) from 1985 where he told the story of Wendy Carlos, who scored The Shining and Tron, and her journey to becoming trans. Casey got all the pronouns right and it was presented as a slice of life, feel good story

Dr Stacey Patton I am on Charlie Kirk's hit list. His so-called "Professor Watchlist," run under the umbrella of Turning Point USA, is nothing more than a digital hit list for academics who dare to speak truth to power. I landed there in 2024 after writing commentary that inflamed the MAGA faithful. And once my name went up, the harassment machine roared to life. For weeks my inbox and voicemail were deluged. Mostly white men spat venom through the phone: "bitch," "c*nt," "n****r." They threatened all manner of violence. They overwhelmed the university's PR lines and the president's office with calls demanding that I be fired. The flood was so relentless that the head of campus security reached out to offer me an escort, because they feared one of these keyboard soldiers might step out of his basement and come do me harm. And I am not unique.

Kirk's Watchlist has terrorized legions of professors across this country. Women, Black faculty, queer scholars, basically anyone who challenged white supremacy, gun culture, or Christian nationalism suddenly found themselves targets of coordinated abuse. Some received death threats. Some had their jobs threatened. Some left academia entirely. Kirk sent the loud message to us: speak the truth and we will unleash the mob! That is the culture of violence Charlie Kirk built. He normalized violence. He curated it, monetized it, and sicced it on anyone who dared to puncture his movement's lies. And now, in the wake of his shooting, there's all this national outpouring of mourning, moments of silence, yellow prayer hands, and tributes painting him as a civil debater. But the truth is that Kirk and his foot soldiers spent years terrorizing educators, trying to silence us with harassment and fear! And now the same violence he unleashed on others has come full circle.

But what i find especially jarring is the dissonance in public mourning for a smug white man whose life work was actively hostile to certain groups. Kirk spent years demonizing LGBTQ people, mocking gun survivors, spewing racism about Black folks, and pushing policies that literally shorten lives. It is so revolting to watch a bipartisan wave of grief sweep over this hateful racist as if he was a neutral community servant.

Charlie Kirk’s shooter was a 22 year old white cis man & 4chan groyper.

Charlie Kirk’s last words were “gang violence”. he was claiming Black people were inherently violent right before his life was ended by another white man.

Here is a description of Kirk’s terrorism by one of his many victims:

Yeah there’s a whole sewer system of the rats out there with all sorts of disgusting and often incoherent views. I saw a guy with a Bella ciao username wishing Fuentes a happy birthday and touting how great he is.

i see this expressed semi-regularly and idk i jus disagree. i don’t have difficulty discerning left from right

guy was a groyper, a nazi, so was kirk but a different faction

if anything the problem is liberals think the left has factions but the right is united. so an event like this can confuse

Unfortunately evergreen.

Reminder to check out the latest episode of Mythsogyny! C tells us all about how amazing Eleanor Roosevelt was and we also have a fun time ripping on Robert Moses because fuck him that’s why. We’re very scholarly over here.

God, what must it feel like to see all the flags flying half mast last week for your kid killed in a school shooting and seeing them half mast this week for a dude who said actually school shootings are "worth it"

The left is held to a much higher standard than the right, and it shows.

Time and time again, the right has demonstrated a complete lack of empathy, particularly when it comes to anyone who doesn't look like them. Crickets.

But when the left matches energy, suddenly we care about empathy? Nah. 🙄

12 Jobs in Sci-Fi & Fantasy We See Too Much (Or Not Enough) - The Angry Noodle A list of science fiction and fantasy jobs we don't see much in media (and another six sci-fi and fantasy jobs we don't).

I was really proud of this post. 🥺

Writers, I made a post about 6 jobs in sci-fi/fantasy that we see all the time, and 6 jobs in sci-fi/fantasy we don't see enough, along with some ideas on how to make the latter work in fiction.

These paypros still need to be pressured over this shit! If you havent made any calls yet, now is a great time to start doing so because theyre only continuing to ramp up their shitty censorous behavior!

Kronk from the animated movie the emperors new groove saying that’ll work while looking up. Tiny angel and demon versions of himself stand on his shoulders.

Last night before bed I realized I’d need a musical mythical character for part of this story and today the first TikTok I saw was about Orpheus.

Eomer, a rider of Rohan which is basically a knight on a horse with a spear saying do not trust to hope it has forsaken these lands

My brain right now:

Lol thanks! Basically just potatoes and leeks with some old bay but it’s pretty decent and a favorite fall recipe.
