We got to celebrate the reopening of the 400 Theater yesterday by seeing the new Spider-Man. We both thought it was pretty good, but tbh I was excited just to be back at the 400. www.400theater.com

Bring Pros vs Joes back but just for big mouth influencers.
Jake Paul claimed on The Pivot that he could play in the NFL because "it can't be that hard," insisting he benches, squats and runs better than former players. Ryan Clark fired back: "The audacity. You're 29 and never stepped on a pro football field." 🏈💪🤯
So we're all seeing that chemistry between Polaris and Bishop in X-Men 97, right?
if you make art of any kind, express yourself for an audience of others in any way, you are a pornographer. you arent next, you're part of it now.
a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...
Splatoon Raiders has been a real treat. It takes the story campaigns of the main games and allows for much more weapon flexibility. So I don't have to try using the sniper when I can't aim for shit, for example. 😂
just said this on another post but it bears repeating: the thing about continuing to give money to any jk rowling properties or the nyt is not that they’re shitty about trans people, which they are. it is that both of these entities MATERIALLY CONTRIBUTE to the legal challenges to trans rights
Highly recommend subscribing to @puzzmo.com instead of NYT's games.
In other words, NYT is increasingly becoming a gaming and recipe company, with revenue from that business helping subsidize the higher costs of their journalism (which has been weaponized in favor of trans genocide). They depend on liberals not caring enough to boycott them.
Me (in any situation): I hope I’m not doing or saying the wrong thing right now
Went to a cool knitting meet-up at a tea shop, feeling confident around potential new friends .... And then poured scalding hot tea all over my hand so spent a good chunk of time running my hand under water in the bathroom. 😖😖😖😖😖
Thanks to @ladyemily.nebula.tv's newest video, Madison and I were inspired to finally watch S2 of Witch from Mercury and when I tell you I lost my mind when I realized they were finally dropping the Caliban allegory!
Yes, the Problems are bad, but this is no time for radical things like Solutions
A rando on Facebook last night tried to tell me the non-religious mutual aid group in the neighborhood wasn't truly doing good works because I quote, "Works without faith are dead. Just because you're being nice doesn't mean you're good" and there is a real sickness in some kinds of Christians.
I also think a lot of people genuinely don’t know what a significant percentage of book sales *tend to be from libraries* Libraries PAY MONEY FOR BOOKS
Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

"Yes, yes, yes... The parrot!" I know out of context it's nothing but Madison and I say this to each other all the time.
What's a Futurama line that lives forever in your head? Mine is, "Oh, a lesson in not changing history from Mr. I'm My Own Grandpa."
Never forget that they had to spend trillions of dollars, build massive data centers, consume millions of galloons of water and insane amounts of electricity, just to kind of do what you can do better with your imagination and a cup of coffee. That's how envious they are of what you can do.
Godddd, I just sent in the rough rough draft of my next book to my editor and artist. I'm sweaty, the air quality is dangerous outside, I feel like a weird sinus gremlin, but after months and months I SENT THAT THING.
I remember hanging with a friend of mine, a writer from Obsidian. Reading news on my classic G1 Android phone. I read that Fallout New Vegas broke a major sales record. I ask my friend if that came with a bonus. He said he was quitting his job because it didn't pay enough to live in California.
