Holy shit ASOS released an adaptive clothing line specifically for people with disabilities?!?!!! Magnets instead of buttons, special pockets and holes to hold wearable medical devices that have tubes, and zippers to make them more comfortable for wheelchair users. www.asos.com/women/fashio...

I am on Getty, and can't find any pics pre-surgery. They're all this doll-like staring.

I tried looking it up online - only found pix with this SAME FACE, no other expression, from some years back. Not even a smile. Do you have a link to a Before Surgery pic?

I'm starting to call this weaponization of beauty standards in the service of The R*ich. Women who want in must surrender their faces.

I'm definitely curious what you & other Star Trek novelists have run into. I certainly noticed when all of a sudden Uhura and Sulu had first names.

I was thinking, build a 50-foot wall around it. No way in or out except by helicopter. Drop in everyone from the T Admin, H Foundation, P Boys, I*E and the Fed Soc, with families, equipment, and a library of "For Dummies" books. Let them have their Whytt Natl-ist society there.

Lunching at my town's swell Latin American restaurant. Keeping it light, because dessert will be their seasonal "Pan de Muerto" latte, with their house made syrup of orange, orange blossoms, vanilla, and spices. #muybueno

My question: PR would have us believe that vaccinated people can still catch those diseases from unvaccinated people. Does anyone really buy that? As if your car will break down because you drove past a pedestrian.

Consequences? Build a high, thicc wall around Mar a L*go. Accessible only by helicopter. Drop in all members of this Admin, the Her**Foundation, the Federalist Soc, & their families. Whites only. Tools & supplies for gardening & rain collection. Library of "For Dummies." Let them have their society.

Hey, here's a random thought: maybe all of us who are Democrats and progressives should pause attacks on each other for the next three weeks and focus on beating Republicans. I promise our arguments will be so much more interesting in January after a blue tsunami.

... interdimensional portal to other places where you can leave secret messages! And you just carry that portal around in a bucket! Suggestion to WB: Go back to the Granny+Lorre courtship, when Granny was her era's Jessica Rabbit. Cast Cena and Brendan Fraser as the live-action villains.

Shayne Laughter @shaynel.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I laughed a lot at CvA, but ultimately found it a yawn. HOWEVAH! Three fantastic things in there: 3) Casting John Cena as the top lawyer for Acme. 2) Bringing back Peter Lorre as the top R&D scientist at Acme, and married to Granny, no less! 1) The concept of Acme Black Paint as an 1/2

I just finished reading #EMForster's short stories in "The Celestial Omnibus" for the first time, and damn I should read him more often. My knack for mimicking the writers I've just read is starting up again. I'm much improved.

I will be forever grateful to @tristanelwell.bsky.social for his Starter Villain cover art. The moment we all saw it we were all, "Oh, we're gonna sell a LOT of this one." And we were right! Authors, please use Tristan for all your cover art needs.

I have a feeling Sen.s Schmitt, Britt, and Kennedy had an entire campaign ready to set in motion with the perjury trap they set for Jack Smith. There was just one problem ... #clowns #goHawkeyes

I am emotionally surrounded by the current news. RAGE = Cornell 7 SADNESS = closing the Nashville Symphony Orchestra HILARITY = Schmitt et al re Hawks or Hawkeyes? That scraping sound is me tunnelling out from under all this by writing fanfic.

Turns out, the DA claims he had no idea the chat group messages existed - even tho Jane Doe's lawyers presented it as evidence in 2024! So he's going with that as the reason he's reopening the house investigation. #yeahsure

The whole Cornell story has me so angry I can barely breathe. And no one seems to remember that *pledged fraternity brothers* don't rat each other out. That's group loyalty, which is more important than a woman's life. #grrr

I don't think it would've fit in his schedule, and anyway John Cena was perfection in the role, but wouldn't it have been GOLDEN if the super-lawyer for Acme had been Brendan Fraser? #looneytunesbackinaction

Fast food sucks also because private equity bought successful, popular chains, and cut the quality of product and the staff for cost savings, which were passed to the shareholders.
