Writer, editor, nervous wreck. Just your friendly neighborhood goth disaster. Bad at guitar, good at cross stitch. Music obsessed book nerd. No, I don't know why I'm like this either. She/her

Like Google ruining search to push “AI,” corporations have become incentivized to damage their own products to chase investor trigger words. There’s no long-term strategy, only short-term gains. An entire economy of pump-and-dump companies.

being in my late thirties feels like I'm a third of the way into playing a really involved rpg and have only just got a sufficient handle on the game mechanics to realise all the ways I've been playing it wrong, only I can't restart or roll a new character and cross-classing late is punitive.

My knee-jerk response to any post that contains a buzzy therapy word or sociology term has become, “Is that really what you mean, or are you gussying up some personal beef?”

If Sabrina Carpenter is going to insist on low key bringing disco back she should at least do us a solid and record a cover of "Heart Of Glass" by Blondie

After the 2016 election there were a lot of platitudes like Henry Rollins telling us this is what Joe Strummer had been preparing us for, and after eight goddamn years of everything getting worse and worse I can confidently say that Joe Strummer didn't prepare me for SHIT

I just read an article that said "Why is it taking so long for your favorite movies and tv series to air? Blame the writers and actor strikes" No I won't. I'm blaming that ✨single✨ motherfucker at the studio who makes $250 million dollars a year who's one job is supposed to make this shit happen.

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

honestly hate that every time there's an industry bad actor, lists of "works by marginalized authors to support instead" start circulating like it's a moral obligation to be done out of guilt, & it's crickets every other day of the year. my art is not to be taken in as a reactionary measure

this is one of my least favorite tropes and it is especially ridiculous when the heroes have just shot their way through an army of mooks to get to the villain oh, you can kill 475 henchmen but the guy who is actually responsible for ordering them around is a step too far? do you hear yourself?

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

Not the most terrifying thing but perhaps the most infuriating: every single thing we said about these fascist Republican fucks has been proved out and all the people who assured us that what is happening would never happen smoothly pivoted to yes it's happening but it will be fine.

::gets excited:: The Arts & Crafts movement of the Victorian era was a reaction to the Industrial Revolution and the fear of losing artisanal craftsmanship and work across a wide spectrum of creative mediums.

The only thing I'm confident in predicting is this: "Democrats should nominate someone who isn't Joe Biden" <a short time later> "No, no. Not like that!"
