[IN A TV DRAMA PRODUCTION MEETING] “So, this scene where she gets texted a vital piece of information - we could have it written out clearly on the screen, Sherlock-style, BUT, I say we go with a brief glimpse of her phone at a weird angle, so it’s impossible to read without pausing”

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

In my Inbox today: a very nice e-mail from a festival abroad, outlining the precise details of where they are based and what they would like me to do, plus details of the fee they're offering, and an assurance that they cover transport and accommodation. There. Not so difficult, is it?

Winnie the Pooh, by wearing a croptop, shows that he is aware of clothing and the concept of shame. From this we can only conclude that he is shirtcocking by choice, the dirty little herbert

My Rage Against the Machine/Les Mis mashup is complete. This is my interpretation of the quilt guild’s summer challenge “quilt with your interpretation and/or feelings towards our current ‘democracy’” all hand stitched.
Quilt hanging on a card catalog. Neutral background with navy cursive appliqué “Do you hear thr people sing?” The background is embroidered in red starting light and getting bolder the lyrics to “killing in the name” the quilting effect is a focused sunburst from the center.

Disney bought Fox in 2019 so they could compete with Netflix. Since then they have laid off at least 7000 people, jacked up prices, repeatedly introduced ads until they're on every tier, and only last year turned their first streaming profit. The mergers haven't been good for anyone.

Schrödinger wakes up, groggy, no memory of the last few hours, unsure of his surroundings. He seems to be confined inside some kind of box. There is a strange mechanism at one end. His pulses quickens; from outside he hears a cat purring.
