With the news of Wonder Woman’s cancellation and the closure of Monolith Productions, I must unfortunately add my voice to the growing chorus of writers looking for work.

Before I do, however, I want to encourage recruiters to consider not only myself, but my colleagues.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

no horror movie I watch this month will be anywhere near as unsettling as the AI-generated psychology video that just came up for me on YouTube

Magic exists, my loves.

In friendship.

In community.

In every person and place you choose to see it.

So keep your eyes open.

And, more importantly,

Your hearts.

❤️

Last year, when my infant niece was hospitalized, I brought her a horseshoe, an old pagan symbol for good luck.

Today, almost a year later, her dad sent me pictures of her, healthy and happy as can be.

Playing with that same horseshoe.

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

You have no idea how much I despite these anti-science dipshits for making pregnant women terrified of taking (safe, mild, proven) pain relief.

I’ll take this over their “great idea for a game” any day.

Having said that, someone once told me to just say I’m an accountant or something equally boring so I don’t get any follow-up questions. 😂
