Before the sun sets and Sukkot begins, here's a review of my bizarre, kinky, queer Jewish novel in Quill & Quire: quillandquire.com/review/grote... Absolutely bowled over to get this, and we are at T-minus 18 days!!!!

Grotesque - Quill and Quire

Grotesque, the stunning debut novel from Ottawa Valley writer Elliott Dunstan, begins with a brief exploration into the nature of the relationship between monsters and human beings: “Sometimes it seems to me that without the freaks and monsters it otherwise consigns to the underbelly, human society would quickly devour itself – whether in lust or

This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.

We now have rigorous pooled data showing that even without active restoration efforts, cleared rainforest can rebound to 75% of their former species composition and 90% of species diversity within just thirty years. #goodnews

Conversations about people having bad faith approaches/being grifters are nigh impossible to have when off in the first accusation against any naysayer is that they are of bad faith/a grifter.

Witnessed the first medical evacuation in survivor godDAMN

Young man-- there's no need to feel down I said young man-- Pagliacci's in town You can go there-- see the world's greatest clown Now why do- you- wince- so sadly?

Fellow creatives I have a question for you: how do you separate "brain is saying your work is bad because it hates you" from "brain is saying your work is bad because it's picking up on genuine issues and you will have a better work if you listen to it." As my brain is currently driving me up a wall

breathe out a bit

The chuunin exams are so fucking funny. Sorry you can only get promoted in your military if a foreign government says you can be. Also they might kill you, but that's okay.

Next survivor season I'm watching: australian outback!

I'm going a lil batshit writing alone so I think I need to branch out to more writing groups and socialize the problem is I historically do very badly in those groups so hg. Problem to solve.

Disliking opla Sanji is not a social faux pas in fandom circles and this makes sense. He is a new, diverging edition of a character. But at some point he won't be new and I wonder if this will become more of a faux pas ala "why are you bashing Sanji in the sanji fan space"

Finished Borneo. Honestly fascinating to see Kelly agonizing over her morals for the final episode. She won the last five challenges in a row! In any other season it'd be a tale of her fucking dominating!

A lot of "should you tag x" discourse will always have the undercurrent debate of "what tastes should be centered and treated as common." This isn't inherently terrible, but it does mean a lot of arguments will boil down to arguing about how universal a taste is OR devolve into tagging everything.

so I knew this season was one of an alliance eliminating everyone else and that the show got buzz around it because of how people voted via strategy and not merit. But I wasn't prepared to see a measly three people absolutely dominate a game (for at least as long as I have watched up to)

Finished pearl islands. Decided to watch Borneo since I never saw it. I've come to the conclusion I would watch the fuck out of an Influencer Survivor season. But importantly it has to be Survivor, not a different show. I need them on an island forced to eat rice and hide from the rain.

You can write a lot about why people use "girl" instead of "woman" for super heroes and yes there is misogyny I will not deny that. But. Also. Girl is one syllable and woman is two. And thus you get the same cadence since man is also one syllable.

You know who never accepted a Polymarket sponsorship when they were a player? That's right: Michael Jordan. Is it because Polymarket didn't exist when he was a player? Sure. Would he have accepted an endorsement deal with them if he could've? Almost certainly. But still!

I drew Freya Crescent from FF9 riding a skateboard while running a fever today.🤒 No reason. Just because. 😂🛹 #MetroArt #FF9

More recent weapon comms. As always, these are a flat $50. Let me know if you are interested!

Showing my husband an older survivor season from my childhood (pearl island) and I am kinda gobsmacked about how well it held up. It's fun!

All of Ed Sheeran’s opening acts and his touring band have dropped out of the remaining dates of his ‘Loop’ tour in solidarity with Palestine and Macklemore.

Since the IRL adoption system is actually hella thorny I wonder if that discourse will ever hit the "they adopt kids" shipping headcanons.

One perk of being a writer is you can just say "a tangled mess of limbs" and bam you're done you've evoked the image. Artists gotta decide where the limbs go!

I was having the shakes.. the Sommers withdrawal shakes.. #shepherdsommers #mih4nnart
