One of our country's greatest war criminals just died, the president is arguing with himself about whether or not to let 40 million people starve, and there is an actual courtroom drama about a five dollar footlong.

How are any of us supposed to maintain emotional regulation.

Have I ever told you about how I want to write a fanfic about Julia Child in the OSS and Christopher Lee in the division of Ungentlemanly Warfare teaming up to battle Nazis? Such an untapped mash-up.

Me watching "The Brides of Dracula" (Dir. Terence Fisher, 1960, UK):
"Come on, Peter Cushing, you can take that twink!"
My husband: 🤨
Me: "He beat Christopher Lee, and Christopher Lee knew what sound a man dying of a stab wound made."

According to more than a dozen college and uni students, “the Canvas outage threw off their schedules, preventing them from not just submitting and viewing assignments but also from participating in-class activities, contacting professors, and accessing the textbooks and other materials…”

The AWS Outage Was a Nightmare for College Students

The outage impacted online learning platform Canvas, which is used by half of college students across the US, leaving many unable to access course materials or contact professors.

There is not a single reason to outsource your creativity to a computer.

Not one.

To do so removes the very point of being creative in the first place.

Writing a thing about Salem (again) & just to reiterate a thing I once said in a Monster of the Month talk:

50-90% of what we call the paranormal—from witchcraft to ghosts to what-have-you—can be explained by the fact that patriarchal cultures despise teenage girls & have no idea what to do w/them.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.
