FINALLY I can talk about this! This one was special in very many ways, not least b/c of the great interaction w/Blizzard Publishing, the WoW team, & my RHW editor @darthinternous.bsky.social, who supported me throughout. Co-creation is a joy. worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/news/2...

The whole “alpha” thing doesn’t even exist, a biologist drew inaccurate conclusions in the original study and had since recanted. It’s the bullshittiest version of bullshit possible.

Fascinating story about a “ghost” concept car that was designed in 1939 but possibly/maybe/probably not actually built at the time, and only discovered when the sketches were found in a barn decades later.

Goldie Hawn and I actually do share the same birthday, though not the same year.

This is kind of like when online grumbly non-fans started calling me "Goldie", trying to be snide or something, IDK, and...I kinda thought it was adorable.

I reread this every time I start to doubt myself. I say to myself, I sez, "Golden, you're pissing off the right people."

Christie Golden @christiegolden.bsky.social · 1d

True, sadly.

Amazon review of "Assassin's Creed: Heresy" which features historical wimp, Joan of Arc. I laughed SO. HARD. (He posted his full name, I spared him here.)

1.0 out of 5 stars Girlie or beta male book?

Absurd, boring, a girl's book or maybe beta males would possibly like it.

So...it's NBD, a "distraction," but you know how you make a distraction go away? By doing the thing. Go ahead, be bold, let all the air out of their distraction balloon because it's NBD, right?

...right?

I know for a fact I have made many people cringe with my enthusiasm and you know what I stopped caring about it long ago, they just have to deal with me and my delight.

You could call someone cringe

Or

You could vibe with them and meet their excitement.

See, I think most times when people make someone feel bad for getting excited, they themselves rarely feel such joy. So they have to squash it. But you can always just join them.
