You know you're just steaming your stuff, right?

And do your part by refraining from "smell-this activism."

"Did you see this awful thing this awful man said? Here, look. Isn't it awful? Isn't he awful?"

...Why are you doing that?

Why are you the free street team for the worst people online? Why are you signal-boosting misery?

Don't do that.

My BF had never watched Star Wars before at all but showed some interest in giving it a try. We started with episode 1. He made it through 20 minutes, decided Jar Jar was the best character in the franchise and never picked it up again. I was dumbfounded.

That was an actual plot point in the book Service Model.

The balls are balling.

This is so fucking grim. It killed him in two months. You could probably drink small amounts of bleach daily and live longer.

Okay, but now we need actual bulge using the bulge photobooth option.

😂

March budget is done, as are taxes, neither are awesome. If I wanna make it to Shoebox I'm gonna have to sell some stuff. This is that thread!

Everything is this thread will ship this weekend. I gotta cover gas and hotel. Dm to claim, shares are massively helpful!

Details are in alt text! 1/🧵

Kansas did something unusually aggressive. But the version where you just quietly force trans people to carry documents that contradict who they are? That’s unacceptable. It's discriminatory. It's meant to eliminate trans people's privacy.

Okay, but I feel like I would clean up there.

Over a purple background, the words "Emerald City Comic Con, March 5-8 in Seattle, WA." There's an image of the double-sided Apprehension by Mary Robinette Kowal and Red Star Hustle by Sam J. Miller with both authors' photos.

If you'll be at @emeraldcitycon.bsky.social next weekend, be sure to say hello to @sentencebender.bsky.social and me. Our panel is on Sunday, March 8. We're talking about plot twists, then signing books. www.emeraldcitycomiccon.com/en-us.html

The black and white sneak cards in TMNT seems like the best option to me. A lot of the other colors only have legendary sneak creatures with lower power, but getting Foot Ninjas in for 10 would probably just about win the game by that point.

I've mixed creatine powder into yoghurt before and it pretty well covered the flavor.

As a Black man with Tourette Syndrome, the Public Advocate has some thoughts on BAFTA, Pt. 1:

Hear about his experience with Coprolalia, his thoughts on how BAFTA mishandled the moment, and the need for care for all who are harmed:

I think the ending lends much more to it being a "dom-com." In the book, the ending is much more about learning to deal with grief.

I dunno about more consent in the book. He describes the first time at Ray's apartment as "rape."

In the film, I thought the last date addition was interesting. It makes for a much richer story than just him dying.

When my book club read it, we generally agreed that there really wasn't much going on in the internal monologue; it never really explains his motivations for anything. We also found it interesting that the book doesn't completely confirm that he died. He could have potentially faked it.

USA Hockey lineup, showing Matthew Tkachuk wearing jersey #19.

Fuck Matthew Tkachuk specifically.

I just realized that he's been using "John Barron" since the 80s, so he named his son after the name he uses to complain to the media.

So they went all in on AI, it flopped and now they're scrambling. Got it.

Chess?

The MTG card Badgermole, 4G, When this creature enters, earthbend 2. Creatures you control with +1/+1 counters in them have trample. 4/4

MTG card Inspiring Paladin, 2W, During your turn, this creature has first strike. During your turn, creatures you control with +1/+1 counters on them have first strike. 3/3

Blue/Green or White/Blue both seem like good options in the current Standard.

Yeah.

Pacing is highly underappreciated, IMO.

*and me

Man, that sucks.

Oh, what happened?
