I think the buildings look less tall because they’re kind of spread out? And the approach we took into the city? It may have something to do with those contrasts with going into San Francisco or the lack of hills.

Ok, Dallas suburbs, what is it with your McMansions looking like French storybook cottages? Not very patriotic.

Just from a story perspective, Trump not dying of Covid will go down as the greatest failure of narrative structure in history

I’m the kind of person who wants to get titles and style and such right, but even I want to troll the Brits all in their beans on toast about getting their PM’s title right. Oh dear, do you need to go to hospital? Or perhaps there are some medicinal HHHHHHherbs you can take for your distress?

We’re back! On this moonless night, the green light on the docks beckoned. So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Leigh Dragoon drew a story I wrote that was published in Womanthology: Space. That was back in 2013, but I in light of her escalating racist harassment of Xiran Jay Zhao, I feel I have a responsibility to denounce her hate speech. She claims to be an ally of PoC, but she is actively doing harm to us

We’re going to go out on the lake in a boat to watch fireworks, which seems like a very Texas thing to do? I’m a coastal person; I don’t know how these things work.

The WaPo and NYT have been banging on for A WEEK about whether Biden should drop out. They should have been writing stories like that about Trump every damn day at least since his sexual abuse conviction on May 9, 2023.

Seems crazy! But just logical. If a President cannot commit a crime in the course of an official act, like giving an order to the military, how can you prosecute the person who follows the order? There’s a whole code of military conduct about “illegal orders.” All orders are legal now.

Then they start calling each other ableist slurs and it is 100% like I don’t even exist to them, which would be entirely fine with me, except they almost knock into me. So I’m just edging toward the elevator door, wondering why traveling two floors is taking so long

Dallas suburb update: three intensely stereotypical good old boys board an elevator with me. I’m talking covered in mud, sleeveless T-shirts, beards, southern accents. I think, “OK, let’s not prejudge.” The door closes and they start WRASSLIN. WRASSLIN ON THE ELEVATOR

I saw someone post that “no one on this app actually knows each other,” so I counted the people I’ve spoken to “in real life.” It’s about 20% of the people I follow. And that’s not counting people I’ve know for as long as 25 years but have never met in person.

Some incredible writers and critics helped trace the path of Black comics creativity throughout the decades, each year focusing on a book that features a Black writer, artist, colourist, letterer, or editor.

We're going to Dallas for my brother's wedding, and today I drop off my sweet Renfield at the doggie boarding house. I'm pretty upset about it. He's been with us for almost a year. What if he thinks I'm abandoning him? I wish I could tell him it's just for five days.
