Just give us Florence Pugh as a lesbian James Bond. I assure you people will be totally normal about this

Every non-californian who seen Gavin newsom on some 30 second news show clip is like "oh wow, he's got juice" and every Californian is like "if you see Gavin in a dark alley, run as fast as you can, but it won't save you"

A bluesky post from me on November 18th, 2024: “sometimes i sit and wonder if any other creative work will ever make me feel the way our flag does again that's probably very lame to say out loud, but it genuinely kinda haunts me Imao???” @larsputter.bsky.social responds: “But your flag changed numerous times... what if another state gets added or they decide to leave... would that change the "art"..?” and my response was: “i am so sorry for the confusion but i am in fact referring to a tv show about gay pirates called our flag means death”

FUCK YEH FOUND IT

gavin newsom looks like he needs to be given the explicit instruction of “don’t eat it” every time someone hands him a baby

So Zheng bought the soup company and rolled her eyes at the water cooler gossip (“seems like an awfully hostile takeover…for soup”) and the industry rag headlines (“BONE BROTH BLOODBATH”). She bought the penthouse, too, and on her third night in the echoing, empty space, the elevator doors opened unexpectedly. Her body reflexively found a fighting stance, but it was just the night doorman, the cute one. He held up a tupperware with a shy smile. “Figured you might not have had time to get groceries yet - you always work so late.” Zheng raised an eyebrow. “My mum's recipe. Soup.”

Here's a little Zheng/Olu drabble for #GarlicSoupWeek ! With actual soup 😋

Title card for vaster than empires (but, fuck, more slow) by spanishforthecar, read by sd ryan. Text is over a painting of Ed and Stede's clasped hands. Just in frame you can see Ed is wearing sack cloth and Stede is in the red Cursed shirt. Between their entwined hands is a dangling string (fish out of frame)

vaster than empires - podfic available! I loved the earnest connection in this inkeepers era story & the lovely resolution. Thank you @escargot-on.bsky.social for the gorgeous work!

PSA to my fellow Americans: make an appt with your doc for vaccine titers or just request boosters of your childhood vaccines. Today I learned my measles immunity has faded, so it's time for an adult MMR! Not something I'd considered, but I also never thought I'd run across measles in the wild, so!
