I mean yes I also don't want to bring her or my mum COVID, but having consistently functional lungs is amazing.

If people ask why I'm masking I wuss out and tell them that it's because my grandma is 100, but really it's because since I started masking I haven't had ANNUAL FUCKING BRONCHITIS.

I've been out and about the last three weeks on my annual comedy pilgrimage. Masking all the time, hand sanitising, and SURROUNDED by people sneezing, coughing, and telling me they're just on the tail end of something.

Why do you want to get your fluids on strangers so fucking badly you weirdos.

no FOMO. yes homo. homo before it's too late.

When I was writing FAIRY DUST, I had a very specific idea about what I wanted for Princess Aislinn, and @jcvim.bsky.social absolutely nailed it. Can’t wait for everyone to see her performance. Check out tinyurl.com/FairyDustKS for info on how you can become a backer and help us finish production!

I understand that if the Waffle House is closed, things are so bad outside you're probably better off not leaving anyway.

Money talks, but billions throw tantrums until they get their way.

Her and her money are such a massive problem I have trouble seeing past it to the names of the people constitutionally enshrining her bullshit, if that makes sense.

Oh, I'm well aware of trans-specific bullshit, my heart is breaking for friends over there. I'm just less aware of whose name is in government at any given time. It's fucking horrifying.

ID for previous quote-reskeet: two pics each of a grey tuxedo cat and a black cat. On the left, the tuxy is on a table and the black cat is on a round cardboard scratching post. On the right, the tuxy is on the scratching post and the black cat is on a pillow.

how has it been ten years since Dead Pig Fucker. how time flies.

Los Angeles friendos, do any of you foster or know people who foster cats?

... I'm still trying to figure out which source of news I'd be happiest to treat as a source of truth to pay for it.

Yeah, I went to Wikipedia after being flippant to see just how off I was. I do remember Theresa May and BoJo, and I'm aware of Keir Starmer, I gather he's truly not an improvement.

I think it speaks to news paywalling among other things why I keep seeing reams about Trump and very little else, but

I have to admit I might be a bit behind on my UK politics because Loud Orange Idiot has been dominating the news lately. Is Dead Pig Fucker still in office?

Those pushing AI written work fundamentally misunderstand the value and point of writing.

Writing can’t “optimize” for word patterns or “token frequency”—writing is about experimentation, externalizing inward experience, and making connections, writer-to-reader.

wait it might've been 1874

They don't give the songs titles per se but you can kind of figure out which bit would be the title if it had a title, so there was 'Riding (Sweaty Sweaty Sweaty Sweaty Men)', 'Keep Your Head Down Low', and what I would probably call 'Riding (Sweaty Sweaty Sweaty Sweaty Men (the And Women Reprise)'.

My last #MICF26 show was #Impromptunes last night and the audience show title prompt was 'Riding Bicycles Uphill', which turned into a musical about equality of sex-based rights in 1847 revolving around the riding of penny-farthings and women wearing pants and ultimately a throuple.

IMPROV!

I'm the note-taker for my home game and I've always been curious how other people do it.

I would really love to see even just little bits of the Schemers' notes, just to see what each of them are taking away from each scene. #CriticalRole

Now THIS is what makeup is for.

Those cups weren't really a thing in Australia, but nonetheless this is cute as hell how dare you

Normally I'd be like 'yeah legit' and go and lie facedown in the wetlands waiting to become a bog body, but tonight I'm just ornery enough to tell the grave it has to wait its fucken turn.

That sounds amazing. Two hours!!

They lost me at 'the average human takes 15 minutes to fall asleep' unfortunately, because I typically take anywhere from 30 minutes to oh gods I've been lying here for four hours.

Because it looks like you changed your mind about the intent of your words after the fact when they didn't elicit the response you wanted. Seriously.

I don't travel very much, but for the precious few interstate cons I went to in the before times (Mackay, QLD; Adelaide, SA; Brisbane, QLD) I bought a fridge magnet. They're lined up on the whiteboard in my study where I track writing submission due dates.

Kirsty is one of the most personable comedians at #MICF26. Go and see her if you like your comedy to be like a warm hug (with maybe a sneaky poke in the ribs here and there, but mostly if you're her wife).

You went from 'asking in good faith' to 'this was rhetorical'. That makes it hard to believe either of those remarks.
