do you have any idea how utterly depraved you have to be for *Ferdinand and Isabella* to tell you to chill the fuck out

Imagine though if in order to sell your house you had to beg every real estate agent in town and 99.999% of the time they just go "nah" but every once in awhile they come over and look at your house then ghost you for 6 months before deciding "sorry, the flooring didn't speak to me"

Not unhinged but…after someone compared literary agents to realtors, I…have not been able to lose the image 😆

every time I try to learn Blender I do great sculpting models that just stand there but the moment I have to start animating I fall apart 😭 so in awe of people like J who are good at it

I found Whedon to be insufferable in the 2000s so I got to feel insufferably smug in my own right when he turned out to suck. But I can swallow my pride enough to admit that JK Rowling *hurt*

also Falgar is playing a thief, Sullivan is a cleric or a paladin, Dorian is a fighter with some spell casting abilities (eldritch knight?) and Tai is an artificer/wizard

Morgan K. Bell @morgankbell.bsky.social · 1d

Ha! easy.

Xander is DMing, Falgar is one second from murder hoboing, Sullivan is party mom, and Dorian is providing the snacks. Tai is the one taking things way too seriously and yelling at her dice.

Your characters are playing in a DnD campaign! Who’s DMing, who’s one second from murder hoboing, who’s having to be party mom, and who’s making sure there’s enough snacks? #WritingPrompt

Sometimes when I have a weed edible I wake up the next morning to all kinds of fun things in my notes app like "King Arthur, the Ancient British god of being cucked"

she makes people feel bad about themselves because they're not doing anything to help the world, that's pretty much it

Haha no I'm sorry if this came across as an accusation I've just seen it a LOT today and yesterday and was wondering if something happened (wishful thinking that the industry imploded?). Jealous of the snickers though 😅

Morgan K. Bell @morgankbell.bsky.social · 4d

Is there any particular reason this post is making the rounds right now? I've seen it quote tweeted a bunch in the past couple days but it's from four months ago. Anyway yes I agree AI industry should perish

WWII "Friend" poster series from the Allied Forces, originally demonstrating the various Allied forces (British, Australian, Chinese, French, Dutch, etc.) and their appearances

It reads:

"This man is your FRIEND

He fights for FREEDOM"

The image is a sepia/black and white toned image of the Portland Frog protester, simply labelled FROG

I definitely preferred Heinlein's "Beautiful genius woman engineer is weirdly horny all the time" sexism to Niven's "brainless dipshit Eugenics Girl who exists to cause problems for and also bang the main character" sexism
