Writing is great. You invent a little guy, you can even make him a nice little guy. And then you shake him as hard as physically possible and give him the worst day of his life. Love it.

The "fake" made me sad. I love this concept. ❤️

In the grand scheme of food contamination, this was an honorable death.

(Also if you reach out to the pot pie makers, you should get free pie!)

Not sure if I’d lean into her Phoenix side (burn it all down and start fresh) or her telepathic one (try to rebuild people from the inside out).

Either way, it’s morally fraught.

Sometimes I think the only way to make the kind of change this world truly needs is to wake up one day as Jean Grey.

The problem with falling in love with someone’s universe is that I need them to take that 5K-90K word idea and write 10000000000000K words more.

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

If you’re in a creative field and you don’t lift up the work of your peers, you can’t expect people to care about your stuff

Cracking open a book from the 1880s and breathing in the spine...

That dry, sweet scent that only paper, dust, and glue that’s been around for 140 years can pull off.

Trying to get Mario to go down the pipes was a challenge for us. We didn’t realize we had to push the down button. We figured standing over top of it would suffice.

It was the first of its kind and such magic.

I was two years old when I first got this! My parents swore there’s no way I could remember that day but I remember it in high-def.

We had two games: Mario and Tetris. I wasn’t smart enough for either. But I liked Mario best and would give the controller to my dad who was only 22 at the time.
