Thinking about this tweet every time I see/hear about the Harris vs. Trump polls being close.

i think one of the things i love most about murderbot is that the narrative makes clear that it's okay not to be okay when something not okay happens. our society is so focused on resilience and grit and finding the good in things and "moving on" that i feel like it's almost unacceptable to have a normal emotional reaction after something bad happens

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Pete Buttigieg is a next-level public speaker.

A third-trimester abortion has to be the most devastating moment in a person's life.

Too many opponents of abortion will never process these situations. They will put themselves in someone else's shoes.

“My body, my choice” only makes sense when someone else’s life isn’t at stake.

#I am the family speed demon #yes I speed in a minivan #this is so true of Texans

you may think the most egregious sin you can commit in tx is being queer but actually it's going under the speed limit

having online friends who are busy is just like. I LOVE YOU. I miss you. YOU GOT THIS. I'm giving you space to work. I LOVE YOU.

I think what bothers me about all those Batman and Robin takes really is just how much they refuse to engage with the genre. Like imagine if I said lord of the rings was bad because it forces an untrained civilian to engage in military actions - everyone would understand how absurd that take was! By refusing to acknowledge that comics are a form of fantasy specifically made to give readers, especially children, a sense of power and agency they don't have in their real lives, you are refusing to understand or engage with the genre.

Jason: MAKE ROOM PEOPLE!

Bruce: What are you doing? Why are you wearing a safety vest?

Jason: I'm the Bat-OSHA inspector

Bruce: Did Duke put you up to this?

Jason: No, I volunteered. Now if you could step aside sir, I'm trying to do my job

Bruce: I'm not going to be able to stop you, am I?

Jason: Nope. Now let's see, you've got literal bats flying around. Stalagmites and stalactites everywhere, that's a tripping hazard. Nowhere near enough handrails. No marked emergency exists. With all this moisture in the air, this place is basically a brothel for mold. I'm not sure what the proper enclosures for a cow and turkey are, but I know a cave ain't it. And it's that a child working in a box I see?

Bruce: Tim is in the "anti-villian enrichment enclosure" that you made for him!

Tim: Hi Jason!

Jason: Hi Tiny!- I hope you know keeping children in boxes is something not tolerated by Bat-OSHA.

Bruce: You put him in there not 30 minutes ago!

Jason: Always an excuse for everything.

I was in line at Aldi and this girl with two toddlers in front of me had her card declined and she looked so fucking sad and said “let me call my husband real quick” and it was only 18 dollars, so I just paid for it, and she was very sweet and then as she walked off, the lady behind me said `”You know that was probably a scam, right?” and like, even if it was, like what a sad fucking scam, right? 18 dollars at the Aldi. If you’re “scamming” me for some Tyson chicken and apple juice and cauliflower, then just take my fucking money. 

“A scam” people are fucking wild.

We need a digital archive of LGBTQ+ works of art, science, and every other conceivable work we can share between each other because we are beyond the genocide warning level in most countries in the west and they're already trying to purge us from libraries.

After months of research and development and market testing and perfecting the first item I feel confident selling online, I have realized... that it is an incredibly niche item that only a specific subset of absolute nerds would want to buy, and I will have to do a ton of explaining the basic idea over and over again before people generally get what it is I'm even selling. RIP me

A few years ago, I poisoned Dev.

I finally managed to write the story where he recovers.
