I met friends I still treasure in an IRC server dedicated to fanfic where we swapped authors for each chapter and IT WAS MAGIC.

It feels like the kind of situation where they'll learn absolutely nothing from this experience, too.

Betrayed by an ICON??

Recipe: Do not cut until it has completely cooled!! Me: girl I love you but you're crazy

what a strange coincidence that every woman has friends who have been sexually assaulted (and quite possibly has been herself) and no man seems to be friends with any rapists!

(And yes, I could afford to live if I did my dayjob full time, but then I wouldn't be able to write, and I know exactly where that got me last time. And I will be fine, but hoo boy, some days are hard.)

Thank goodness for my Patreon, which is going to be paying some bills next week!

God, this sucks. I just got paid and did my big grocery shop for the next couple weeks and now I'm sitting in the car having a wee cost of living crisis, because that's it, the money is all gone. And the supermarkets are making $1 million dollars a day profit.

To people who don’t believe that Kermit the Frog is real: What is the basis for your morality? Where does your moral standard come from?

This comment sums it up for me. What good is an economy that crushes its own citizens while lining the pockets of a privileged few? #nzpol

There are men outside my house in hi-vis looking intently down an open manhole, and this Bodes.

I just finished "Second Class Charms" by @kehealey.bsky.social and it has been great. A mystery in a New York inhabited by the classic urban fantasy factions- this series have great pacing, fun characters, and a satisfying focus on community. An irresistible ride.

Right now, the richest pay $9 in tax for every $100 they make, while a teacher pays $22. The Greens would give 96% of earners an income tax cut, paid for not by cuts to public services, but ensuring the super wealthy pay their fair share.

This is the Stolen Neighbors Quilt. Each of the 11,000 squares represents a person taken by ICE in Minnesota.

So a really important New Zealand book is published today. No, not that one. This one! The fourth and final Violet and the Velvets!

The guy in The Princess Bride does not list all the classic blunders but I guess one is doing Nicky Hager damage control when Nicky Hager was not thinking about you.

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

He's not mad, he's just disappointed.

Does SHE look ridiculous, or does the WORLD THAT WOULD DENY THIS AWESOMENESS look ridiculous?
