I’ve never heard of Joyce Carol Oates before so who knows if this is on brand for her, but holy goddamn fuck WHAT. How exactly does anyone have so little respect for the literary arts

One thing I can’t help noticing in all this is that the computer has no context of why you’re asking it about how/when to go shoot people. It can’t tell the difference between an actual potential mass murderer and a murder-mystery writer trying to plot out a scene.

I’m not about to watch the Elizabeth Holmes documentary because I don’t think it takes that long to explain that a bunch of old rich guys got scammed by a pretty face with no morals. Like come on, that’s the whole story and we all know it.

In spite of everything I am going to go write classic sword-n-sorcery fantasy that absolutely no one will care about other than me and whoever among my friends I can pressure into reading it I was looking over my old files and realized I’ve been writing this damn story since 2007 AT LEAST

I’m sure all trans people can relate but I occasionally have a burst of “am I really trans” thoughts, followed by a massive chunk of high-speed processing of complicated gender feelings that eventually boil down to “yes you are, you fucking moron”

Wake up, babe. The Prime Minister just dropped “hydronym”.

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

Never met her, never interviewed her (despite decades of unrequited requests) but thought she was utterly fabulous in every way.

Someone’s gotta start asking the billionaires whether it’s better to be afraid for your life because you’re an utter bastard who hoards money and people hate your guts, or to never be afraid at all because you’re loved like Dolly Parton was loved.

Both the movie and the song entitled "9 to 5" are essential pieces of pop culture because they achieve the (not so easy task) of depicting the oppressions of class and gender through very digestible popular art.

I recently had to listen to my mother tell me that she doesn’t want trans women in the changing rooms because she didn’t want to see a penis. I had to explain to her that she has definitely been in one with a trans woman and NOT REALIZED because trans women look like every other woman there
