I present to you two non-toxic kings sharing some peach cobbler and champagne together.
Two men share a loveseat while holding glasses of champagne and bowls of cobbler. They are in a beach cottage. Their lives are good.

I ran screaming out of a theater when my dad took me to The Black Cauldron, age 6. Nope nope nope fucking nope.

What has always bothered me is you’re supposed to consider what your salary will be after you graduate - but it’s four years away and in a subject you *haven’t studied yet!* How the fuck are you supposed to realistically guess that?

I need ambitious municple councils to STOP TRYING TO MAKE ROUNDABOUTS WORK IN AMERICA. We understand two things here: Ego and fate. Neither of those works well with a roundabout! We can’t do them! Stop trying to make us!

brief reminder because a TikTok video of an asshole is going around, disabled people trying to avoid illnesses that could make them more disabled is not OCD, it is lived experience with a disability that you do not have, and thus should have your stupid mouth closed and stupid ears open about.

Oh so all of New York is one of those consensual non-consent parties that we were all horrified about in Silicon Valley last week. You pick up a drink, you’re agreeing to whatever sexual violation is done to you. That seems like it should be changed immediately.

Truly would like to have a conversation with her about funding female filmmakers as the industry collapses in CA, because man, it is DIRE.

That is an incredible series of words to say aloud.
"It's not supposed to be a cruel and an unusual execution," criminologist Deborah Denno told
NBC News. "The goal is to kill somebody, but to kill them within means or in a reasonable way, where there's not going to be pain and suffering."

Do any other women feel like they’ve gotten to their 40s without developing any kind of personal style and still not understanding how to do their makeup and hair, and now it has become a *problem* because the glow of youth…is not keeping the lights on anymore?

I think you can have a justice system that is about holding dangerous people away from society and hopefully rehabilitating and treating some of them. Or I think you can have a torture barn. And I think as long as you insist on the torture barn, you can’t have the first.

If this is what you are upset about in this conversation, you are lumped correctly, because you are currently mad at the victims for their resultant trauma, not their attackers.

It feels genuinely ridiculous having to say this, but the point of art is to connect with another human. Someone thought of that painting or melodic line or scene or paragraph that is suddenly making you weep, and that means that they saw you and understood you without even meeting you.

fish are friends
Stop using anti-fish language
Instead of: this seems fishy
Try saying:
this seems like a situation in which we should consult the wisdom and grace of the European seabass, a species with which i would entrust my entire life and personal safety

Very excited to get to say this in a week of incredible ups and downs. But I’m thrilled to announce I’ve just signed with Keifer Ludwig at BookEnds Literary Agency, and apparently I write books now and someday soon you may read one!

It would be so nice if the US had a kind of hospital where you didn’t have to spend hours on your knees begging them to not kill your loved ones via negligence. We should make that kind.

The reward for standing up to your social group is usually isolation and being told you’re a killjoy, I’m sorry to say.

I have separated the art from the artist and am now whipping the art to stiff peaks, after which I will gently fold it into the artist before baking at 350 til golden and puffed

Ok I think we need to agree there’s a hard limit of political texts you can receive from a party before you don’t have to vote.

I’ve been thinking about the Cornell rape all day. And I have to say, there are very good men in my life, many of them, who are confident and would have stepped in. And I also have to say I think something men and women need to reckon with is that those men are the exception.

Sometimes I think about that John Mulaney bit where he’s talking about SVU and how Ice-T always seems baffled they keep finding pedophiles. …Yeah Ice, you work in the sex crimes department. What did you *think* you were going to find??

Or. You live in a bubble where new music is a major component. Or no one’s “in a bubble” and we just have different spheres of interest!! Not everyone pays attention to music charts!!

Look I am in my 40s. There is not only all the great music from my youth that any new song has to fight to be allowed in, but also the great music from every prior era dating back to the Middle Ages. You’re telling me a random country song is going to hop over Tori Amos and Verdi to get to me?

Even more recently it still blows my mind that anyone is falling for it after they just did this with crypto. It’s like they ran a show for a season, cancelled it because nobody watched, and then just released it again with a different title. It’s the same cast! The same tactics!

I don’t even know what to say anymore. The only thing Covid conscious people are trying to do, truly, is not get sick. That we’ve become the country’s newest freak show is predictable given the pandemic, but truly despicable on a base human level.

An problem that I’m running into with writing this book is that I have to describe a lot of people eating fish and these two things are true: 1. I haven’t eaten fish since I was 10 2. I only ate canned tuna So I’m opening the floor, please describe why fish is good and how it tastes

Every time a major figure has died on one side of my extended family, the remaining elders have picked one person and thrown them out. Family estrangement is often the product of family trauma and we sure don’t have MORE of that now than we did when women had no rights and beating kids was normal.

There is a perfectly moral and ethical way to live together and republicans are ready to kill us all to prevent it, so I think that might be more the problem.

Just gonna say in 24 hours I have not seen a single apology at any level by anyone who used the article as an excuse to bash Covid cautious people or queer people as a whole. I have not seen a word from people who gleefully referred to disabled people as “wreckers”. Not one single oops.

In the wake of this week’s nonsense I’ve seen a few disabled advocates say that anger is not a good way to convert people and not an ideal advocacy tactic. Perhaps this is true. But not everything a disabled person says needs to be advocacy, and the expression of emotion is an end in itself.

I read a script once that misspelled chyron as Chiron, and I really enjoyed the idea of a centaur bounding on screen to say “MOSCOW, a 1982” and such every half hour.
