That’s so fair 😩😩😩 I’m sorry you keep having to deal with all that

Hello?!?

I really love the fact I’ve been able to make seeing Broadway shows such a regular habit. The jump from none to one a year to multiple a year happened so fast.

I’d be excited to see Maybe Happy Ending regardless of who’s in it but seeing it with someone I’ve been following for over half of my life adds something so much more to the experience

I’m about to see Darren Criss on Broadway holy shit

They work so well for them!!! Especially with queer kids who are being given a chance to exist and figure things out in a world where the norm is gone!!!

Anyway I started thinking about a trans coming of age story set in the middle of an apocalypse the other day and it’s taking up so much brain space

I’m out here trying really hard to avoid the word “apocalypse” in my synopsis to the class because I know that alone toes the line of both horror and sci-fi only to see some guy writing a space story because he loves sci-fi???? Okay

Assignment: no horror and no sci-fi
Me: …okay so it’s an apocalypse story but it’s not ABOUT the apocalypse it’s about teenagers who happen to be alone during the apocalypse so really it’s a coming of age and has nothing horror or sci-fi related about it

One thing about me is I will always find a new way to accidentally hurt myself

I am, so far, enjoying this semester and will be enjoying is so much more when the one class I don’t really want to take is over with

It’s only an 8 week class so I basically just need to survive this month and then I can focus on the writing classes :3

It’s amazing that 50 can feel WARM after it being 20 and below

What am I doing that I’ve been able to write 5k in the past few days on top of school work and (admittedly minimal) dnd prep

Usually when I get to this point, I want to erase everything and pretend it never happened

Taking a late lunch because I have a virtual appointment at 3 and I feel like I’m doing something wrong

Why is it anytime I get coffee before work (a rarity) someone decides to test my patience??? I’m already jittery from the caffeine I don’t need you stressing me out on top of that

I think it’s past time for a Gravity Falls rewatch

No this is bothering me so much. We can’t do it because she doesn’t want us writing anything that needs to be shot with elaborate special effects but we’re not actually shooting anything we’re writing scripts for? AND you can do horror without special effects? Horror can exist beyond gore and ghosts

“No elaborate fantasy and no horror” cool cool that’s fine that’s not all I care about writing anyway

A photo of a child wearing a hat

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Judge orders US to release father and 5-year-old taken into custody during Minnesota immigration crackdown.

Me: *chilling on my dad’s couch scrolling online*
Step-mom coming out of nowhere: it’s okay you can have one of my big oranges

A hand-drawn image of a pig in an ICE uniform, with a trump-nazi ear tag. The text reads NOTHING CAN MASK THE STENCH OF A FILTHY PIG. They’ll pepper spray your children. They’ll unlawfully abduct your husband. They’ll shoot you in the face. THE PIGS WILL SLAUGHTER US.

found this week 🐽

Rereading a series by an author I used to be obsessed with and realizing it’s…not that good

Is it BAD??? Not really. It enjoyable and the concepts are fun.

But the characterizations are weak, the magic system isn’t that good, and there doesn’t necessarily feel like there’s reasoning behind things

Why’d this man look shocked when I honked at him after he ran a stop sign and almost hit me 🤨🤨🤨

I’m pretty sure I scrape my knees falling more than any adult ever should

The infamous Lt. Pike casually pepper sprays occupy protesters, seated on the ground in a line with their heads bowed, at UC Davis.

Unidentified masked man described in news reports as an ICE Agent pepper sprays a blonde woman filming him with a similarly casual mien.

2011 to 2026

I brought a hoodie to class last night despite not needing it under my coat and ended up not needing it because it was SO HOT

I didn’t bring it this week so of course I’m cold now

There’s just something about applying t gel right on my 2% boy tattoo
