Digger is getting such bad reviews that I’ll have to watch it. I need to know exactly what kind of bad movie it is. I’m thinking bad like “mother!” by Aronofsky (extremely head-up-ass) but I won’t know until this bitch eats crackers while watching it. I still think of Megalopolis all the time btw

I was recommended a few independent news media outlets worth following. Few allow me to read articles without subscribing. The ones I can read talk a lot of sports, which I do not care about at all, ever. I get why the subscription model is essential, but I can't pay if I don't know the content?

I still kind of think that America simply shouldn't have presidents anymore. It's too much an opportunity to consolidate power around a central charismatic figure. I don't know what the executive branch alternative looks like (board of governors?) but presidents suck, so do we gotta have one?

They take a lot when you write reviews so writing reviews that offhandedly mention total lies about yourself are a fun way to muddy this up

This dive bar is finally open! Come in out of the storm and grab a hot coffee. Add a shot of booze to keep you warm. I'm sure cell service will come back on at any moment. Relax and enjoy yourself, and if you think you hear anything clawing at the windows, it's just the wind.

getting older is super bittersweet because it's genuinely COOL to have the breadth of perspective, truly awesome in the traditional sense of the word, but then also you know there's less time to appreciate it ahead of you

SNL's weekend update made a Cornell-related joke recently ALL the comedy shows were doing jokes about bestiality irt sex trafficking so in 2026 we're cool joking about sexual assault, to be clear. this is something we do. i have SO many thoughts about this, but mostly, i hope my friends are ok.

I wish I had a music track-only version of the Lord of the Rings movies. I think I'd have that on as a second screen while I'm writing basically all day, every day.

I'm going to be without my kids for a few days in a row, which means a LOT more time on my plate than usual. I am hoping to finish a couple of commissions and this nearly complete book I've had on the backburner for weeks.

I've been reading on Ground News a lot lately, which is embarrassing because it's one of those podcast advertisement sites, but ANYWAY. I am definitely reading news more broadly with it. And having a lot of THOUGHTS about coverage of stuff on the right vs left.

I fucked ip my first study of this rose (2nd pic, right side) so I tackled it again. I’m still not in a place where I’m like FINISHING things but I’m getting better at watercolor I think I need reference with less darkness tbh

I'm playing Skyrim with over 500 mods (not exaggerating, I think it's 533) and some of those are adult mods. I enjoy having huge-boobied hot people all over the place, but I really wish they hadn't changed some of the old lady NPCs into...whatever's going on here.

A medical assistant told me that she has another patient who is a writer. She said that both of us talk differently than other people. I cannot stop thinking about this and wondering how tf I talk that sounds "different." I thought I just talked like an average autist lmao

My now-husband said “I love you” really early in our relationship and I mocked him for it (we were 18/19). When I finally admitted I loved him too, he did the Han Solo “I know” instead of “I love you too” and I was like “oh fuck off” and then we made out and spent the rest of our lives together.

Sixteen years ago, I was THIS pregnant. Nothing fit me. I felt awful. It's surreal realizing I was only six years older than the child whose birthday I will be celebrating in two weeks.

I do not think we should have a death penalty. I don't think it is any kind of deterrent. I think it's barbaric. I think it makes us all worse people. All of us. And we just don't have to do this to ourselves. We could abolish it, and we should.

I got to see this with a live orchestra, which really drives home the majestic spectacle of it all. Really a fantastic score with more variation than I realized.  I kept forgetting to watch the orches...

this is three years old but it's still among my favorite comics i've ever drawn
four-panel comic of a writer talking to a cat.
Writer: I'm writing the most anarchic book of my life. I'm bucking every rule of society! Publishing like a rebel! Saying what The Man fears to be said! Joining generations of author-philosophers writing revolutionary literature for the ages!
Cat: You are writing about a curvy girl (who looks like you) getting railed by a dragon with a big flong.
Writer: LIKE A REVOLUTIONARY!

i am curious to see how consensus on the Astarion book falls out. Reddit seems to mostly hate it, but...I don't trust what Reddit hates. lmao. I don't care enough about Astarion to judge it myself. I'm just *chinhands* waiting to see what normal non-Reddit BG3 people think.

I mean. I don’t remember an age where I wasn’t sexualized by men. Like being a tiny little booger-eating goblin-child but still being treated as a sexual being by adult men.
