i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

Testosterone does not make you a fascist. Testosterone does not make you a terrorist. Testosterone doesn't make you a rapist. Testosterone doesn't make you some kind of rage monster. Testosterone is a hormone absolutely everyone produces at some level and your behaviors are your responsibility

This is so hard to do, but so essential. Busdrivers still drive their busses, dentists still reach for the drill. Authors still have to be silly little bananas shilling fantasy to the masses. In all cases, the sky is burning, but the cats must be fed.

Actually it's a euphemism for "Censorious dickheads going out of their way to ban as much as they can that's written for people under 17," which certainly included books about sexy dragons/elves. Sexy dragons/elves are not my area of expertise but I'm happy some people are making a living with 'em.

This is the way it should be. We all have our skill sets! Not wanting to write outside your comfort zone is PRETTY DAMN VALID. No one should be demanding this content from folks! Also writing meltingly hot sex scenes is a skill! One you have to cultivate! It gets weird fast if you don't!

Aikuiset ihmiset yleensä valittavat että lapset ja nuoriso ovat pilalla ja tuijottavat vain ruutuja. Jos nykyään olisi niin paljon pihapelejä lapsilla kuin ennen aikaan niin nämä samat Marjatat ja Kalevit olisi niitä kieltämässä taloyhtiön järjestyssäännöissä😌

if an employee of the Chicago Sun Times made up a summer reading list of 50 fake books that didn't exist they would be fired already, blacklisted by the industry & the paper would have issued a retraction and a full page apology but it was a plagiarism machine so it'll just get used again next week

Douglas Fairbanks did most of his own stunts and was a true athlete but he looked even better onscreen thanks to a few little tricks. For example, this slightly lowered table in THE MARK OF ZORRO makes his leap all the more graceful.

This "there are no poor or starving people in the US" bullshit is so infuriating. 4 people in this country have as much wealth as *170 MILLION* people. A few years ago, NPR reported that a majority of Black kids in Chicago had never been to Lake Michigan because their families couldn't afford it.

It’s not just Indie bookshops though. It’s all our small local businesses. The cost of convenience, of next day delivery and maybe a saving of a few € simply isn’t worth it. We will lose ourselves. A lot of shops and businesses shuttered in towns and villages in Ireland already #speirgorm

Why supporting indie Irish bookshops matters in the age of Amazon

The message was stark but indisputable. "Irish businesses will struggle to compete with Amazon.ie, both online and in the high street," said Kenny's bookshop on Instagram.
