Oscar Isaac Was ‘Not So Open to Working With Disney’ After Jimmy Kimmel Suspension, Said He’d Return to ‘Star Wars’ if Disney Does ‘Not Succumb to Fascism’ Oscar Isaac was not open to working with Disney after Jimmy Kimmel's suspension and will only return to 'Star Wars' if the studio avoids fascism.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":

".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

Ooft. Feel this.

Just seen the term 'Bogothic' about bogs as settings in literature and never have i wanted to jump on a genre this fucking hard in my whole life.

Hunchback: A Novel and Conversation on Representations of Disability

We need to stop diagnosing each other with autism and ADHD As Bella Ramsey reveals their autism diagnosis came after a 'The Last Of Us' crew member spotted the signs, Helen Coffey questions why we've become so emboldened to pronounce neurodivergence in others

I would potentially have a lot more time for headlines like this if there was any other way for many people to recognise that they are neurodivergent and start taking steps to actually improve their lives. As there aren't, as there is little support even when diagnosed, I have zero time for them.

If 700 people see this and check out my blog, we should reach the goal 🤞🤞🤞

Yes. But fuck it, let's do it anyway.

How To Write With The Brain Bads Creating a New, More Forgiving Writing Practice

I wrote about how I crept back into writing after getting diagnosed with Central Nervous system Vasculitis.

People writing with chronic illnesses are our heroes and @signeland.bsky.social and I continue to learn so much from our disabled, creative comrades.

FUCK OFF THERE'S A SPINAL TAP TWO?!

Okay but 16 chosen ones genuinely sounds like so much fun??? I say keep it!

I was getting the most fatigue about how many stars were getting cast, then this news drops and I'm all in. Completely invested.

Ayeeee!! Oh that is very happy news!

Me coming at my life problems.

After the success of *finally* being able to edit again, I obliterated all momentum by getting civ rev 7. Done nothing else all weekend. Whoops.

Beasts at the door - 2023
(Slightly amended)

I am dreading the rest of it because good christ I've got a lot to revise, but for today I'm taking the win!

The world is melting but I actually managed to finish the line edit on chapter 1 of my fae horror. When I tell you I've been in the worst place my life has ever been in the last 9 months and have struggled to do much of anything, this felt like an incredible achievement.

My romance? Chemical

I know it gets said a lot, but balancing two careers at once is really withering. I love my day job, and I love my book job, but both are a hell of a lot of work while being vastly underpaid. Between that and the effort just Being Alive takes, it's not easy. Commiserations to all going through it.

Tv series! But I bet the film has the same thing. I should investigate.

Immaculate vibes. Genuinely looking forward to seeing what comes of this. My kid might be too old when it eventually comes out, sadly. But I have high hopes!

Text reads: ayo edebiri is in talks to stat & write a live-action Barney movie for a24. Daniel kaluuya will produce.

There's not a word here i don't fucking love

It's here!!!
It's so pretty 😍

My life is a never-ending pile of laundry to get through. I always feel behind on everything. It's really draining. No words of wisdom to share, just a defeated solidarity.
