The earthling's English class watched the 1984 movie of 1984, and she said, "I was surprised. I thought because it's a dystopia they'd make it even darker and you wouldn't be able to see anything at all, but they didn't! Weird."
Gen Z doesn't know movies can have good lighting. What have we done?

We need some kind of barrier between all these named Give Us Your Money days, because right now I’ve got Giving Tuesday, Cyber Monday, and Black Friday emails arriving at the same time, and you know what? It’s too much. Deletion isn’t a healthy hobby for a person my age.

I have reached the stage of having an angry muscle where I can no longer remember how I normally sit or stand or walk or exist. Every position feels awkward. I keep noticing my own body every fifteen seconds, and it sucks.
I would greatly prefer if bodies worked right all the time and never hurt.

A neighbor in his late seventies is excitedly telling BB that yesterday, for the first time in his life, he made cookies he liked. Apparently he and his sisters get together every December to make cookies but they always suck, but not this year. “A nice man on the YouTube has a recipe.”

I'm editing a document in a program I don't normally use, and it will not stop giving me grammar advice. Really bad grammar advice. Thanks, program, but I am all set for grammar errors! I don't need you suggesting more! GO AWAY.

I can confirm that we here in Long Beach are not serving the lord. But we ARE serving pesto made with basil from our gardens in December, so this is a call everyone has to make for themselves.

The Unsubscribening begins. It’s nice of companies to set aside a time of year for us all to consider whether we really want to stay on their email list.

A fun game to play when you’re reading a non-fiction book by a male scientist: see how many female scientists and students he mentions by name. My current book’s count is one (she’s one half of a husband and wife research team). But there’s still time! Let’s see how he does.

This is a fantastic idea. Overload the glurge with even more glurge!
Someone should be setting up counter content farm networks that just post inane things like “my grocery list: motor oil and live snakes” or “the best pizza topping is straight pins” and see how loud we can make the AI Summaries and inane ChatGPT requests scream

Anyone got any favorite kissing scenes in fic? I have once again reached the stage where I am no longer sure kissing is even a real thing that humans do (why would we?) and I need to remind myself that it's actually possible to write

I had a job I liked and then my sister got persuasive and now I have a job I like better. I help kids apply to college and I get to make the process less stressful and more appropriate for them!

It’s after midnight and I’m grouchily poking at the internet, trying to figure out what I want to read. But the awful truth is that what I really want to read is the story I’m currently writing. It’s wildly uncouth of the writer not to have finished it yet.

This is incredibly informative. If you don’t know what Makaton is: it’s a “system” that steals, breaks, copyrights, and sells signs from various sign languages. But it’s also a lot worse than that.
I will not fight with people on Threads about Makaton. I will not fight with people on Threads about Makaton. I will not thebaffler.com/outbursts/si...

The hearing world continues to pillage and caricature the deaf community—most recently with the proprietary, sign-based system Makaton.

My health insurance, every time it emails me: Thank you for choosing GreedyHealthInc!
Me, in my head, every single time: You know full well I had absolutely no choice in the matter and would not use you were the alternatives not bankruptcy, death, or Kaiser Permanente.

What we need is a podcast called Fandom Time Capsule, where we examine artifacts from earlier fandom eras: TOS Kirk/Spock from an actual zine. Livejournal stories that have never been ported to AO3. Kink memes. Icons. Mailing list posts. Who's with me?

Me, through gritted teeth: MALIBU DOESN'T HAVE A HEART. I mean obviously let's have fewer profiles written by journalists who are horned up for their subjects, but also can we have fewer profiles of Angelenos written by New Yorkers?
