Most people don't know that their copy of my book F*cked Up Fairy Tales is fun-sized.
Me: Makes a to-do list
Also me: Abandons list in favor of serendipity
(Serendipity = whatever I remember I have to do between distractions.)
Why stress myself out when I could let The Universe be my Project Manager?

So here’s the thing: I, a certified Disabled™️ Person, do not actually care if anyone fakes for an extra 20 minutes on the test. I care deeply about how the fear of that very thing puts up flaming hoops disabled people have to jump through.
Maybe listen to disabled folk on this one.

Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

It is insane that Rum Tum Tugger is Bailey's dream musical role, but I also love his chaotic good energy. I anticipate a very Judi Dench career for him: Sure, she does Shakespeare because she's brilliant, but she also does Chronicles of Riddick because it's fun, ok??

I'm gonna write this sequel, it's called Free-bleeding in Narnia, and it's from Susan's POV and it's the real reason she didn't go back.

What's going on in Alabama and Tennessee around transgender books in the library is genuinely disgusting.
Trans stories belong in libraries. Full stop. Trans people have and will always exist.
And if you think this ends with trans stories pal there's a very famous poem I'd like you to read.

"The board overseeing Alabama public libraries on Thursday voted to remove books that discuss being transgender from the teen and children’s sections of all public libraries in the state."
State sanctioned censorship from some of the biggest bigots out there.
