You see, the teen girl wants to be a sexy cat dominatrix in wetlook vinyl after all, just on HER TERMS, ok??? (sweating, desperately hoping you buy it)

One of my favorite ongoing bits with my partner is the "dowries" we both came with. For example, marrying them earned me a big jug of Barge glue. Part of my dowry was a nice set of woodworking clamps. Let these two cosplay houses be merged.

Trying to be a person who gives myself nice manicures but also does weight training is going badly. For my nails. My muscles look great.

I just saw someone in the neighborhood who I know for a fact totally f'ing hates me, and they didn't recognize me with my pink hair, glasses, and hat. ...Wonderful, I guess?? Clark Kent business.

It's so funny that the most intense rain we get each summer always hits just in time to mess up NASCAR.

My VHS copy of Independence Day had a lenticular cover. You could wiggle the box and blow up the White House over and over. I don't think that would fly today, but people loved it.

You know what I'm glad nobody talks about anymore? The musical Avenue Q. "Everyone delights in the misery of strangers" and "Racist jokes are funny because they are true, relax" were horrifically entitled takes, and I hope edgelord humor stays dead forever.

I think what's truly wild about Biden and the Dems doing NOTHING to stop all this is that it will, in fact, impact them individually and personally. It's easy for them to look away most of the time because many of them are homophobic and racist, but Trump's plan is to JAIL AND EXECUTE YOU ON TV?!

Years ago, I was one of four character voices in an epic fantasy audio book. Male reviewers kept criticizing my voice, because I made the character sound like "she hates men." She did, though.

99.999% of people who post stuff like this want to watch revolution from the safety of their own basements. They won't initiate it, and they won't even join in when it starts. Vibes and rewards only.

Been thinking a lot about the last Secret Sleepover Society stream we watched. Julia said her brain fog was so bad she thought she was experiencing early onset dementia, but in reality, she was dangerously burnt out and needed a break. I FELT THAT. I AM STILL FEELING IT.

Recently, every invitation I've received via email has had the invite list BCC'd. This is absolute poison to me. How am I supposed to know if I want to be there if I don't know who else is going?? ...What? You're supposed to respond because you love and support the host? No, that sounds wrong.

I am begging people who complain about taxes to understand that salaries, bonuses, etc. are determined with taxes in mind. If your current salary is 75k, and we suddenly lived in a world without taxes, do you think employers would magically keep you at 75k? Bet not! ANY excuse to give you less!

I saw a Cybertruck in-person for the first time as it drove past a crowded intersection in the Chicago Loop. The ONLY person who was excited was a young boy, maybe 8 years old. Makes perfect sense; as far as I can tell, Elon's fans are all mentally the same age!

abortion and birth control are miracles. they are such incredible pinnacles of human achievement, and they are crucial tools allowing us to work toward a world where all children are deeply wanted and eagerly anticipated, and where all people who give birth + parent can flourish

I didn't think we were going to build a utopian future, but I gotta admit I didn't think we were going to further bbq the planet for "machine that does nothing but steal and spits out smeary images of anime girls with big tits and too many teeth." You can at least hold gold in your hand.

My Nami 15th Anniversary One Piece costume has been the worst kind of cosplay journey. EVERY choice I have made, I have disassembled and changed. Shoulders- too big. Gold bias tape- too thick. Embellishments- should be vinyl instead of painted. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MY EASIEST DRAGON CON LOOK.

We make jokes about how dystopia is a lot more boring in reality than all the books we had to read in high school made it out to be. I think what we're forgetting is that the part we're in now - where the characters might have stopped it & didn't - is the backstory of these books, not the story.

I just don't see a non-violent path forward in a country where Chappell Roan is a superstar and the Supreme Court is signaling it would eradicate women's rights and the entire LGBTQIA+ community. You can't just quietly take the future away from young people.

Constant continuation means infinite trials and traumas. If you love these characters, you should love their stories eventually ending so they can "live" in peace.

Consumers of media I beg you to let showrunners and authors end narratives when they get bored or are satisfied with the story’s conclusion. Sometimes, people say what they want to say and then get off the stage so somebody else can say something new, and that’s great, actually!
