Have you ever considered what kind of nightmare world the Gummis live in? I mean, the size difference between a Gummi worm and a Gummi bear is just . . . What other gargantuan eldritch horrors exist in that world?

At 45 years old, I am finally a home owner, land owner, and business owner, all within the last year. And I still wonder how my life would be different if I had made different choices in college. Specifically regarding the One Who Got Away™️

Is it weird to feel connected to someone who might have been a classmate had you been accepted to your MFA program of choice? 🤔 Also, a podcaster I followed for a while may or may not have taken classes from one of my college professors, just at a different school. The universe is strange.

Something I have always struggled with, or at least, struggled with in my adult life, is I don't want to be in charge. But inevitably, I end up being the one to take the reins and make decisions for the whole group because no one else will. Which then earns me the title of controlling bitch. sigh

In my experience, it's not always women named Karen who are the Kareniest. For my money, Teri, with one R or two, is far more likely to be Kareny. What about you? Who have you found to be more Kareny—Karen, or someone else?

Ask the hive mind on Zuckbook for cacti or succulents that bloom at night besides a kalanchoe ... Get pictures of ... a kalanchoe. Sigh Anyone here know of a night blooming cactus or succulent that IS NOT a kalanchoe ... or Queen of the Night because I'm not sure how well that one will tattoo.

Currently waiting for a rodeo in a small Drumph-friendly town and they have Bon Jovi on the overhead. My sarcastic brain says, "wHaT iS ThIs WoKe ShIt? DoN't YoU kNoW hE fEeDs ThE HOMELESS?!?!" 🙄😂🤦🏻‍♀️ Anyway, Happy Birthday to a country abandoned by her government. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Felon 47 is trying to weaponize the USPS against mail in voters and states the refuse to comply with his unconstitutional nonsense. Text USPS to 63033 and fill out the linked form to tell the USPS your stance.

Just here to say ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot Renee Good as she was driving away. Sue me.

Some days, I feel like Eddy from Ed, Edd, and Eddy, just trying to find the next scam to make a few bucks.

I have been marooned in some of Colorado's most die-hard red territory for, like, my whole life and somehow managed to become a liberal commie anarchist in spite of it. I still, however, value connection, and choose not to judge an entire community on its worst examples.

This episode of Tracker features a time cop, a half hexenbiest, and a zombie hunter.

Happy Caturday! Lucy here. My friend Pippi and I hijacked my human mom's account to ask for a favor. See, she's at kind of a crossroads, they say, and she could use some money to keep us in kibble and keep sand in the sandbox. If you could just repost this and visit her Substack, we'd appreciate ya!

Dear collective of Hollywood production folks . . . LIGHTS! For the love of all that is good in this world invest in some damned lights. Sincerely, everyone over the age of 25 trying to watch modern TV

One of my schticks is to name secondary and tertiary characters after people in songs. For example, I envision one day writing about a sorority that's entirely made up of the girls from Mambo No. 5. As such, I could probably have a (completely different) Jenny in every book. 😳🤔🙃

That moment when you realize you weren't even able to turn your editor brain off long enough to read an obituary.

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars/Trek, HP, LOTR, Marvel (not so hard; some of those I haven't even watched once) Mine: Ferris Bueller's Day Off (by far my favorite Hughes picture)

You ever meet a fella and your first instinct is, "Not sure how to break it to you, Spicolli, but the 80s are over."

My father passed away two years ago in May. No, it's fine; we were estranged for 20+ years. But my aunt, his sister, actually gave a damn and we've been working together to sort out his estate, such as it were . . . 1/

I'm always super behind on my new primetime shows but I recently caught an episode of NCIS Sydney wherein Bluebird was scrolling Bluesky. I giggled a bit.

Just a girl distracting her brain by building urban fantasy domiciles in the Sims. So far, I've finished Harry Dresden's basement apartment (complete with Harry). Now I'm working on Rachel Morgan and Ivy Tamwood's church (no spoilers; I've only read the first book) and it's taking up a lot of space.

Day one of walking for my dinner. 🧵

Went with my Mama to see Send Help. With no advanced warning regarding what a Sam Raimi film might look like. Oops. Thankfully, we only really had to endure a few of his trademark bulging eyeballs.

Watching Sullivan's Crossing and maybe it's because of Scott Patterson and CMM but I keep thinking Edna is Gypsy.

Makes me super glad I'm a coffee snob and can't stand most hotel coffee. Dark roast just means burnt ffs

For a year, maybe year and a half, I've been trying to convince my mom to come with me for a tourist excursion around Chicago, a city upon which I have an intense crush. I would like very much to introduce them during the autumnal equinox and Chicagohenge. 1/
