You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose but only Markwayne Mullin can pick his friends’ noses.

Moved from the Pitt to HGTV and it's the best of all possibilities: lesbians who agree on nothing. "Well my wife likes glam." "Not glam." "Gold." "Sure, gold. Jazzy?" "Fine."

I am laughing too hard to pay attention to the house plans.

Jon is a Condiment King level Batman villain.

He'll wander into your house, tie you up then produce a binder filled with images of bizarre foods.

"Y'ALL COME EAT!" he bellows while smashing the binder in your face.

You can only weep until rescue arrives.

Disco Space Opera is such a good call, here.

I gotta say it's a blast to tweak scripts against the art. Artists always come up with brilliant little nuances and it's a real pleasure to delete dialogue 'cause the art sells the moment without it or to add little bits of sfx or dialogue to hilight this great new nuance the artist brought in.

So part of being a good comics writer is being able to really quickly tweak things to eliminate random problems while maintaining or even improving the dramatic and emotional impact of the scene. It's hard! But it's also hugely fun! Lemons --> lemonade, every dang day!

I cannot express how little I care about finding out some privileged dude's take on what it would be like to be a girl growing up in a misogynist, fascist society.

When I'm feeling uncharitable, I attribute this ignorance to willful racism. But I think it's deeper than that. I think it's just deep ignorance based on a lack of interest and an unconscious acceptance of racist ideas and frames these folks have absorbed and internalized their entire lives.

From time to time I see certain white pundits and reporters reveal that they have no understanding of any of the subtleties with which race and racism actually operate in this country. Just the most naive, simplistic, mechanical thinking. Deeply embarrassing.

I dunno, could also be ai.

I was coming to agree with Ariana but hell yeah Killjoys!

Try your damndest to live your life so that if you were fired from your job and about to give a speech that someone would tell you.

Visceral disgust reaction and formed so long ago I can't tell you the slightest reason why.

I have been watching Schitt's Creek (forcing myself to overcome the Chris Elliott of it all) and other than that glaring flaw I can see how this was so popular. It is very funny!

I do so love malicious compliance.

My bio requests for middle grade books are “I found your professional bio, and trimmed to length/projects that feel relevant. I also need one sentence that will make an 8-year-old think of you as a person, so hobbies or pets or jokes or whatever.” That sentence is always my FAVORITE.

I try to preach the opposite of imposter syndrome to creative people. Know that you are literally the only person on the planet equipped to tell the very specific stories you have to tell in the way only you can tell them.

This is all well and good...however I am untenured* so if I call it out, like you say, then I get student complaints and negative evals that jeopardize my possibility for tenure and promotion.

*it is even worse for precarious faculty like NTT and adjuncts.

How does a dept support faculty who disproportionately receive student feedback rooted in racist and classist biases? How do they modify tenure processes to protect them? How do they protect graduate TAs?

Reposting with actually useful alt-text because holy shit.

There used to be an old sign by the path, warning passers-by of the local sleeping willow, which would trap the unwary with fatigue, engulf them while they slept, and release them a hundred years later.

There was a new sign:

"This sleeping willow is full."

And a map of other locations to try.

I very much get paid to go to meetings and do paperwork. The actual editing is free.

I once told my line producer “I became a writer to tell stories and now I argue about how it costs $50,000 to move some
trucks.”

Me wearing an Other Shoe Records t-shirt

By the way, did you know that that Northampton wizard fella... what's his name... you know the one ... He's started a record label called @othershoerecords.bsky.social

Odysseus had his crew lash him to the mast to keep him from doing an interview with Chotiner.

I dedicate this to humans who have dressed too fast after a shower in a particular undergarment:

Skin so damp, it was not fun.
I fought the bra and the bra won,
I fought the bra and the bra won.
I needed help and I had none.
I fought the bra and the bra won,
I fought the bra and the bra won.

anti-trans Dems ate shit last night

Across all the results yesterday one thing is clear- the first Dem in the presidential primary to vow that their first act as President will be to raze ICE to the ground and dump the remains in a toxic waste landfill is gonna lap the field

Yet, this well-documented pattern did not appear among Black participants. The data provides evidence that Black women do not shy away from competition, nor are they any less willing to take financial risks than Black men. This suggests that the broad behavioral generalizations scientists have made about men and women for years are heavily skewed by predominantly White study samples.

*looks at camera Black womanly*

This is what everyone should be worrying about. Not Trump canceling elections, but Republicans taking the trips they've been playing on everyone else and doing them to white voter precincts.

This thread is a painfully perfect description of how it will go down.
