Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...
Ted Chiang once told our Clarion West class that our taste for stories would outstrip our talent for a good while, but that we would eventually catch up to it if we kept writing.
Just don’t give up. That’s all you have to do.

platonic. ideal.
“project hail mary” continues to prove what “contact” and “war games” also make so clear: there is no visual effect that can equal the emotional impact of a human face conjuring a sense of awe.
whenever i hear someone yammering about peptides i just want to shout “DID MADAME WEB TEACH YOU NOTHING?”
I HAVE SEEN THE FACE OF GOD
in the future everyone will be in avengers: doomsday, for fifteen minutes
I just found out the plot of the Mandalorian and Grogu movie is all about the two of them finding out they weren't included in Avengers Doomsday and getting super bummed.

broke out in hives due to an unexpected allergic reaction on the night of a big date. taking antihistamines and trying to figure out how long the drugs will last until my skin starts bubbling again. this must be what it feels like to be darkman.

📌Pope Leo XIV TODAY:
“The world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants. Blessed are the peacemakers, but woe to those who manipulate religion and the name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.”
He is NOT backing down.
Donald Trump post "The U.S.A. is the “HOTTEST” Country in the World right now. Just a short time ago, under Sleepy Joe Biden, IT WAS DEAD, LAUGHED AT ALL OVER THE WORLD!!! But not anymore - Nobody’s laughing!!! President DJT"

RFK Jr is trying to pretend he never said THIS… let’s make sure everyone sees this video, so he can’t get away with his lies!
i prefer to think of myself as "debonair but villainous eurotrash billionaire" but i'll take "gentleman" 😆
my understanding is that this is not far from what was filmed - i can't remember where or how i heard this but either she was straight up named "anne bonny" or it was heavily indicated that she was a distant descendant.
I recently did a binge of seaQuest DSV and then asked @okbjgm.bsky.social to lunch so I could interrogate him on EVERYTHING behind the scenes. This story - about a reshoot to the pilot and a pirate villain who was then wasn't - was one of the wilder stories.
An excellent story about how TV development works in the real world:
Please enjoy this thread’s story about a series of reshoots to the seaQuest DSV premiere, and how they add up to the “Stark holds a goblet” scene we all cherish
the year 2018 was a strange time indeed
so while he was a debonair gentleman criminal, george lechein had no choice but to toss her the goblet!
the tossing of the goblet was the button of the scene and could not be worked around.
and this is why george lechein tosses marilyn stark a jewel-encrusted goblet that is in no way congruent with his personal sense of style.
you will also notice that while george lechein's environs are adorned in a modernistic idiom, the area surrounding stark has all sorts of... treasure and booty.
