if i'm doing it, please don't call it "a crashout." i prefer "having a breakdown."

(says the girl who's been dozing off lately reading from "aviation disasters," due to being mentally normal)

oh this sounds like my kind of nonfiction tome; thanks for the detailed description

Grace Paley was born and educated in New York City, where she still lives. She has taught at Columbia University and at Sarah Lawrence; has published fiction in New American Review, Esquire, and The Atlantic, as well as in other periodicals; and is now at work on a novel.

broke atm, any help would be big here. sorry to be a drain, i hate it.

😇✌️

online comment i came across by accident that's giving me a hearty laugh today:
"There's never a reason for on page violence on animals, NEVER. sorry not sorry."

oh thanks for the heads up, i've never thought to watch anything by rozema other than i've heard the mermaids singing

i feel roughly DONE reading or joining any discussions of chatgpt, claude, et al in relation to creative writing. i know it's 'the thing' to focus on rn, but i find the subject boring, distracting, & (a few years in) still generally irrelevant to the actual work i do

very consistently watchable & entertaining i thought!

admittedly i know very little about either set of kirby guys; they just talked a lot about boom tubes on jlu

but yes it takes me much too long to traverse between sleazy apartments as it is, sometimes 20 or 30 minutes

ahem 🤓 this fellow is not a new god so he’s using a “dimension harness”

At that moment… “Distance is meaningless when dimension-transit is in operation! I can reach this sleazy apartment at the speed of light!” Zakka traveling halfway through a wall wearing a purple jacket and yellow pants.

enjoying some jack kirby eternals panels today

The cover for my next novel, CHIMERA, is here.

Skin dancers, cannibals, kinslayers, monsters. The Vargers are many things, but family always comes first.

absolutely. i will sometimes stubbornly refuse to use 'the jargon' (esp bc the tone of these terms often doesn't feel true to my own experiences)

mediocre poet-cartoonists out there, watch the fuck out

seriously

i mean…. slutty, i guess

oh whoa i had no idea you’re reading it! yes please do come! that’s such a flattering description! (i can’t remember if we’ve ever met irl? maybe very briefly?)

mmmm omg amazing

TWIN CITIES MARK YOUR CALENDARS MOON PALACE BOOKS PRESENTS ALICE STOEHR Book launch: Again, Harder BOOK LAUNCH @ MOON PALACE THURS MAY 7 6PM BE THERE!

for my locals: it begins

sometimes a blunt tool is best

this has kind of always been my stance: with grindr i have zero uncertainty that i’m swan-diving into a cesspit

pointless to point out ironies of course but this is just fucking describing ice agent behavior

the name “bechdel”? OH YEAH it’s an adjective now 😏
and what does it mean? well, there’s women—multiple women,

you think this book merely *has women* in it? ohh you small minded fool, unable to grasp the higher tiers of feminism
