Last night I told my mom I was excited about the finale because "James Gunn doesn't do cliffhangers and likes to end things rounded out so this should be great". I did love the episode but... @jamesgunn.bsky.social, you got some things to answer for. ;_;

@jamesgunn.bsky.social One thing almost all versions of the Superman/Supergirl dynamic have is having her being considerably weaker. Here's hoping the choice of Woman of Tomorrow as the source for the movie means we're gonna see a powerful Kara who isn't second fiddle to her cousin!

@sharangbiswas.bsky.social Hey, hi, so you may already know this but a serial plagiarist going by the name 'John Kucera' has been submitting your story Waiting for Jonah to various publications at the end of 2023. We just reached it in our submissions queue at The NoSleep Podcast.

"Rich kids should go to public schools. The mayor should ride the subway to work. When wealthy people get sick, they should be sent to public hospitals. Business executives should have to stand in the same airport security lines as everyone else.
The very fact that people want to buy their way out of all of these experiences points to the reason why they shouldn't be able to. Private schools and private limos and private doctors and private security are all pressure release valves that eliminate the friction that would cause powerful people to call for all of these bad things to get better. The degree to which we allow the rich to insulate themselves from the unpleasant reality that others are forced to experience is directly related to how long that reality is allowed to stay unpleasant. When they are left with no other option, rich people will force improvement in public systems. Their public spirit will be infinitely less urgent when they are contemplating these things from afar than when they are sitting in a hot ER waiting room for six hours themselves."

I've had a couple writers recently withdraw immediately saying they signed with another agent, so I thought I'd do a mini chat on what's expected once you receive an offer. 1) thank the offering agent. Let them know you still have materials out and ask for 2 weeks to make your decision.

The species’ biggest claim to fame is its reputation as a harbinger of doom. Recent anecdotal evidence fuels this theory, like the finding of more than 20 oarfish on the shores of Japan months before the 2011 magnitude 9.1 earthquake.

spotted hyenas are unfairly maligned creatures, and are as cute as any other large carnivorous mammal. I drew this helpful diagram in 2022 to spread knowledge, peace, and love.
