Sadly, they are too clever to be fooled by such simple means and immediately asked when the next issue is out so they could read them together. 😂 May start a betting pool on how long it takes to cave...
Kiddo wasn't sold on AOR, so I've been appointed The Voice of Reason. Came home from school today and asked me about Unbreakable.
"Well, there were cats... Oh look, a pterodactyl!"
This is what you've reduced me to, @gailsimone.bsky.social Someone who lies to children. Monstrous.
The "don't use em dashes in your writing if you don't want to be mistaken for being AI" thing is so funny to me because the way I use em dashes is so unhinged, no robot can every replicate that
Merriam-Webster Tweet: Any dictionary can be a pocket dictionary with big enough pants. Cookie Monster's reply to the tweet: Me no wear pants.
This might be the absolute greatest reply we have ever received.
Thank you, Cookie Monster 📕🍪💙
TikTok has decided that I want the straight white Mormon mommy vloggers, which I do not.
Did, however, mean the random '97 Romy edit to Silver Springs with no warning punched me in the damned face. Feel like that should come with a warning...
The full version of this song includes the line "a special kind of horny" and honestly...
Stuff and things, sure, but what about events? Can we trust there will be britch-free shenanigans? THESE ARE THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
And I love every one
There is no greater evidence of this week's Uncanny X-Men being great than the fact the Eldest Teen just quietly went "Oh damn" at the end 🤣 That level of enthusiasm is usually reserved for large fires or the Leafs not choking during playoffs...
Stunning as ever 😍
Rogue Gambit fans are the most talented bunch of people, fr
Season 3 of #WheelofTime gave us some of the best fantasy TV since the early years of Game of Thrones and then Amazon goes and cancels it, even with a 97% Rotten Tomatoes rating. WTF?

Man, I regularly say fuck Amazon and all, but cancelling #WheelOfTime has me saying it extra loud 😭 😭 😭
Man, the greatest writing high is rereading the fic that's old enough you've forgotten most of the details but not so old that the quality is below your current* skills. It's a little gift targeted at your niche AND weird likes.
*After the last 18 months, it is above but that's another story
2025: Keir Starmer suggests that pressure on housing and public services is because of migrants
2020: Keir Starmer, "Poor housing, poor public services are not the fault of the migrants, they're political failure"
And now it's reached the even more fun stage, where I wish I'd made a different decision on every single front. Every single one. I would like to skip this step, just once. Trot right on through to "I wrote this? Damn, I'm good." Alas, this is the only way my brain learns shit.
Split it into thirds. Third on debt, third on savings so you have an emergency fund and don't start the debt cycle again, a third on something you want/need but have been putting off so your brain gets validation this was a Good Thing.
“I asked ChatGPT,” well I asked your mom and she said you’ve always been a disappointment
Very excited for this, and perpetually impressed I titled something in under twenty words. I fear I never fully escaped the 00s pop-punk title mindset... 😂 It's gonna be great though
But the mere existence of people having fun in a way I dislike offends me!
(Every fandom ever has had this issue, and yet we're still out here in 2025 having that same discussion)
It's annoying, but honestly comical at this point. HOWEVER...
I just found an outline I forgot I'd made, just as I was plotting how to get back into it. Either the curse is broken or my house is gonna burn down. And I don't like the odds
Some writing projects are just Cursed. No other word for it. I've got one where as soon as I start working on it, something happens. And it's ridiculous stuff; family deaths or mystery illnesses or tech issues that shouldn't be possible, just an endless stream with awful timing. Capital C Cursed.
The HOLD this cover has on me is insane 😭
Spotify playlist cover of a person wearing a white t-shirt and looking out the window of a car. The title is 90s Road Trip
Really, Spotify? NOW? Not at any point when this would have been helpful? 😒
I rise from the ashes of my dignity to stare at this once again. There may finally be a fic. But mostly I just wanted to stare at this again. 💕
this is correct and also why I love Vimes. he's a bastard, he knows it, he is going to do his damnedest to point the bastardy in acceptable directions, but he is and knows full well that he is a bastard. all cops are.
Calvin's mom says "Life could be worse, Calvin" by a Liberal Party logo, Calvin says, "Life could be a lot better, too!" under an NDP logo, Calvin's dad says, "Life being worse builds character!" under a Conservative Party logo
The forever-correct way to translate Canadian parties to other countries without using their politics for reference
You have to wonder what Mark Carney's other two wishes were after rubbing that bottle
