Reminder: when you make fun of politicians whose positions you oppose, make fun of their positions—not their health, their weight, their mannerisms, their posture, their eyes, their skin, their need for physical assistance. Why? Because when you make fun of those things, your ableism is showing.

I can't think of a religion whose doctrines include collection management, seeking theory, metadata, freedom of information, conducting effective reference interviews, information literacy, social epistemology, or Bates berrypicking model, but then, maybe I'm out of touch with religion.

I wanted to take out Los Angeles and San Diego but they couldn't decide between a movie or sushi so we thought it best to just stay friends.

Not to mention the hypocrisy of a man whose own marriage is legal only because a SCOTUS decision overturned the religious arguments against miscegenation.

Everyone's dressed nicely (for once), yet the bickering continues. #WIPSnips

Text reads: “That’s a lovely suit,” Grace said, just to start the night out on the right foot.
“Ain’t mine. It belongs to Johnny, but he’s in prison ‘til next spring and we’re near close enough in size, so Maggie let me borrow it,” Kat replied, hands in her coat pockets as she idly looked around the foyer.
“And the hat?”
“Oh, nicked that on me way here,” and she tapped it proudly.
“What, off of someone’s head?”
“No, miss, off their arse. Where do you bloody think?”
“Ladies, please!” Mme. Chauvinard bustled into the foyer, dressed rather simply compared to the day before in a matching deep blue skirt and blouse which were tailored to emphasise her upright posture. She looked quite ready for whatever business lay before them. In contrast, Grace had decided to wear a cream dress she’d brought in case of an occasion and which she’d worn to a friend’s child’s christening.

Me to our cat: "No, the fan grille is not a scratching post. It's a wonder you've survived to adulthood." Hubby: "He really does have the survival instincts of a lemon." Me: "Did you say 'lemming' or 'lemon'?" Hubby: "Either would work."

From my #EpicFantasy WIP, "We Who Walk in Shadow." Oghor and Fae Farran discuss their mutual interest: Ellyll, MC. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #FantasyAuthors

“I can promise not to harm him deliberately.” He raised his glass.
Her eyes narrowed. “That’s something, at any rate. We old monsters must hang together, mustn’t we? There aren’t many like us.”
He bristled a little at the comparison, although he couldn’t say why. Her elegance, poise, and good humor were nothing objectionable. Nor was her obvious competence. And Lohimar knew, Oghor hoarded his own secrets. Why shouldn’t she?
“And your promise?” he asked.
She clutched the pendant at her throat in mock indignation. “You aren’t suggesting I would do the least harm to my very soul? I have sworn an oath. I will keep Ellyll safe.” At last he heard the slight edge to her tone, the implied threat: “No matter what.”

He dished out his share of rice and handed the rice over to me. I piled about the same amount on my plate. When in Rome, right? Then he put some of the steaming reddish chicken-in-sauce on top of the rice. I followed suit.
“Okay. Take a bite. Tell me that isn’t heaven on a plate.”
I scooped up some with the fork he handed me.
“Whoa,” I said. “That’s—that’s got a bite.”
He laughed. “Yeah, Dr. T doesn’t skimp on the spice. But it’s good, right?”
I nodded. “It’s good. Just—you got anything to drink?”

I've posted this before, a few weeks back, but it fits today's well enough to repeat it. From my philosophical godpunk WIP, "Laughter of the Hunted Gods." Our dubious heroes stop for... uh... suplpies [sic]. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

“This,” declared Quinceberry, “is the finest establishment in all Thren. Perhaps in all Threnland, or even—dare I say—the continent at large!”
Boden eyed the establishment in question—a ramshackle hut made from scrap wood and sheets of tarnished bronze, the verdigris greener than most grass this time of year. Yellowed Philosophist recruitment posters with antiquated artwork papered over gaps and cracks. A paper tacked to the graying plywood of an exterior wall read ROOMS FOR LET, with an arrow pointing to what might have passed for a second story in a sturdier structure. Above the door, in a gaudy orange Boden imagined was meant to resemble brass, the word SUPLPIES had been painted long ago.
“Supple pies?” Boden asked.

Shit hits the fan. #WIPSnips

It is not difficult to find within her the thing that calls. It has been pressing out against her skin ever since they entered these labyrinthine halls. Some part of herself has been holding it back, yielding nothing to its ever-starving maw, but now, with her back to the wall and nothing to lose, it feels like the easiest thing in the world to just…

…stop resisting for a moment.

My brother-in-law went to a chiro for neck issues after a tumble off his bicycle. Chiro did his usual spinal manipulation. BIL still had issues a week later. Regular doctor sent him immediately for x-rays. He had a broken vertebra in his neck. Could've ended up paralyzed from his neck down.

Let's see: my fantasies all have a queer-normative society. My MM romances have explicit man-on-man(-on-man, sometimes) sex. Depending which book, some have harsh critiques of extractive capitalism, colonialism, racial and class divides, religious bigotry/zealotry...it's a long list. #QueerPrompts

From "We Who Walk in Shadow," my #EpicFantasy WIP. Oghor's first conversation with Fae Farran, Ellyll's foster mother. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #FantasyWriters

She leaned forward with a conspiratorial smile. The flower in her hair gave off a heady scent. Her diamond earrings glittered in the light from the tall window. “Shall we arrive at a compact, you and I? For I feel we are alike.”
“Do you.”
She laughed, a low, throaty alto sound. “Indeed we are, you old monster. I see the shadow lurking behind you.”
He felt again that power he’d felt gathering to her in the infirmary. Nothing in her manner threatened; yet Oghor’s hackles rose.

Long ago I took to answering "Not too bad" by default. This, despite being 100% accurate most of the time I'm in public AND no less vague than the apparently expected "fine" or "good", for some reason baffles or even irritates neurotypical people. I've had numerous people insist I explain. #AuDHD

Some coworkers had their job title changed to better reflect the duties they actually perform. The new title's initials are "AAA." The one who works in my building dislikes the acronym because it feels awkward to say. I suggested they should scream it: "Welcome to [building name]. I'm the AAAAA!"
