I'm assured by writer friends that one good thing you can do to support them is to buy not just new releases but explore their backlists.
Read SF/fantasy? Like queer stuff? I am part way through a project looking at great queer SFF from the 2020s.
2021 is here, and... 1/2
FYI, at 8:25 pm someone just threw a hotdog at my windshield going down 44th between the high school and the kidney center. I get it is funny, but I didn't know what hit my windshield until I pulled over at Arco. I had thought I had hit something
FB is terrible and I want to leave it for so many reasons, but the comedy gold that is the local community page is one thing that keeps pulling me back in.
I love how every single silicon valley exec has lost their entire fucking mind.
It’s ALWAYS a lie. And you would think we’d learn, but no, of course not.
But do you still have, “editing passes final finals work on this one?”
That’s the important one.

Also, please enjoy this photo of Boo. You will never be as cozy or comfortable as she is right now.

Life is hard and you all deserve a little treat. Here is a picture of my dog, Athena, sleeping in a laundry basket despite having two different dog beds to choose from.

Any time I see his posts these days, I think of The Pentaverate scene from So I Married an Axe Murderer. Except the posts are less funny and make less sense.
A panel from Defenders that shows Hulk walking away with Dr. Strange and Valkyrie. He says “COME, FRIENDS--LET US GO AWAY FROM THIS DUMB PLACE.”
What a week.
They had spices that were older. They had moved this stuff at least once if not twice.
Cleaning out that kitchen was akin to archeology.
It’s not for eating. We found it in my father’s house when we were cleaning it out. It’s my inheritance & my most prized possession. We will hand it down to our children & our children’s children.
It’s a beloved relic. Because the date stamped on the can is July 2002.
A can of Garfield Spaghettios that are 22+ years old. They have a phone holder on top.
Smalls: is someone depressed?
Me: why?
Smalls: someone moved the can of Emotional Support Pasta.
Man Friend: I just needed to put the phone holder on something.
Me: do you ever think our house is kinda weird?
Behold, our Emotional Support Pasta.
On top of everything else, THEY TOOK THE DOG.
What absolute shit-gibbons.
Well, that’s delightful!
Like I said. Kobo has been over there keeping on keeping on this whole time. If you don't know about them, it's a great time to learn!
NEW: A large swath of civil society is warning Meta against rolling out a face recognition service that will predictably be used by sexual predators.
Men. It's definitely men's fault.
“Two can play at that game” is literally the Drebin quote here when he takes an innocent woman hostage to cluelessly fight the enemy

They were yelling about swallows and air speed velocity all night.
Smalls had a sleepover over last night and they built a fort in the living room and watched Monty Python.
He just gave me a tour of the fort. There is a “peasant entrance.” It’s a smaller, questionable entrance you have to crawl to use. Glad he’s grasped the basics of feudalism.
