At the trampoline park today, I saw a kid who was probably six or seven fall down, and as he was getting up, he muttered to himself with infinite weariness, "This is cringe."

It wasn't a real Springsteen song, it was one of those weird mashups that happen in dreams

Arguably even more embarrassing: I had taken the title from a Springsteen song but I got the lyrics wrong Can you IMAGINE how ashamed my dad would be

"are you sure you want to discard this draft" is a trap set by the fae. they feed off my bad takes and oversharing. but I am wise, and wary of their tricks. I hit delete and hear a faint scream in the distance, so quiet it might be nothing more than the wind

The wild thing is that I am literally NOT good at it and never have been! I did not save either of the previous two orgs! I just kept the plates in the air a little while longer.

I fundamentally don't understand "the character wasn't likable" as criticism. Does that... matter? Is that how you relate to all art? "This guitar solo seems like a bitch"? "I wouldn't have a beer with that color palette"?

Happy #primeweek! I just want to let y’all know that the Amazon shipping warehouse where my husband works is denying workers fans during a nationally recognized heat emergency and everything you order during time week places workers’ lives at risk.

I love potatoes. If you ignore other vegetables they become gross mush. If you ignore a potato it becomes a Creature. This is an approach I deeply respect

Early reviewers (my spouse and my best friend) are loving THIS IS MY BODY (Quirk, 2025)! One reader says "I have new video games I haven't even played yet, but I still spent the whole afternoon reading your book."

It's wild how blatant the message here is: "I am absolutely furious that somewhere a trans man might be getting competent and affirming medical care. Also I'm terrible at art"

While I'm waiting on This Is My Body edits, it's probably a good time to start researching the historical horror novel I've been threatening to write for two years. I'm just a little intimidated by that prospect. I've never written historical before.

The narrator in Robyn's "Dancing On My Own" is a ghost. By contrast, the narrator in Billy Idol's "Dancing With Myself" is a vampire.

Pride BEGAN during a time of anti-sodomy laws. The first Pride was a riot against those laws. Pride is celebrated around the world in places where it is much more dangerous to be queer than here. Pride is not dependent on being ALLOWED to be who we are, it’s a promise that we WILL be no matter what

It's wild to me that people can do that! 🀣 If I start editing before I'm done writing, my momentum completely dies and it takes ages to get going again. Glad you know what works for you!

Man, people on this site are really creative at coming up with ways to say "I agree with your point but I'd phrase it differently" and making it sound like an insult.
