Trying to go see the new Resident Evil movie but apparently before I can enter the auditorium I have to have the spade key to unlock the door? And I only have the hearts key, which unlocks the route to the concession stand. Anyone know where to go next? A bit stuck
There are already articles circulating trying to rewrite history and say America was great after 9/11 and united and thoughtful and just a reminder that that period was marked by intense and insanely racist hatred, paranoia, and a frothing desire for unhinged violence and oppression.
Someone has a bonfire going and it absolutely fucking stinks.
How are there short fiction writers out here completing dozens of stories a year, and I’m out here exhausted after just one? Out of commission for months? (It’s probably perfectionism.)
Tim Curry should also be remembered for featuring in the best between takes photo of an actor in recorded history.
Reminder: Dolly Parton helped fund the Moderna vaccine for COVID.
Dolly Parton, who helped fund the Moderna vaccine, gets a ‘dose of her own medicine.’ (Published 2021)
The country music star broke into song before she was inoculated, and urged her fans to “get out there and get your shot.”

Dolly Parton and Patti LaBelle playing their acrylics. Two icons.
Just got a story rejection I was quite confident about. Man. Think this is going to be the second year in a row where I haven't sold or published anything. :/
Just read “This Is an Emergency Broadcast” by @rsagarcia.bsky.social, and damn. I can only dream I’ll one day reach the same understanding of craft and structure that Garcia does. Brilliant. clarkesworldmagazine.com/garcia_07_26/.

One of the referrers to my websites was ChatGPT. Ew. No thanks.
Jason Arday is dead. The UK media won’t learn a thing from this. Because they’re racist bastards. He has two children.
Did the UK emergency weather alert just scare the shit out of anyone else?
Reached the point in this heat where my brain refuses to think about anything but wanting to peel the skin from my bones.
Water companies planning to raise bills on customers so they can use it to fix infrastructure. That’s a fucking laugh. Here’s another idea of how to do that: stop paying yourself massive bonuses you absolute cocksuckers.
Does anyone have resources about how to create fantasy (or science fiction) worlds without relying too heavily on coding/using real cultures?

Could the UK government be even bigger tossers? The world’s literally burning in front of our eyes, but hey, how about we build a data centre in London? Fuck off.
Writers who shit on other writers who are new to the craft are just so weird to me.
The second draft of this short story is almost done. Might be 2.5k words. Would have preferred more, but it is the first story I've finished since February.
No matter what kind of day you are having, this👇 will make it better. 🥹 🚲 ❤️
It's getting too hot to think again!!! For the love of god give me rain and cold!!! Fuck climate change!!!
I saw two cats on my walk. Both were chatty, both wanted scritches. Beautiful.
I’m warming up to the idea that if I were to write a novel, I’d self-publish it.
