POSSIBLE NEW IDIOMS:

Key fob face

Turning on the sprinklers & calling it opera

Spending summer counting raspberry hairs

Entering Gstaad, exiting Geneva

Plink, plink, your diamonds are dropping

Mousse ain’t set

Everything’s gone librarian knuckles

Ferry broke & brought you here?

Whole-heartedly agree. I can’t get enough. @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com, is there anywhere one can find the script for study, yet? 📚🤓
@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com Just finished Dead Boy Detectives. Thank you (and everyone who worked on the show) for this. It’s a lot of fun, and emotional moments that really worked for me.

Stories of friends risking it all for each other hit me hard…

Some good writing advice here that I want more people to take to heart.
CW for mentions of rape, racism, child marriage, fatphobia

THREAD: Fellow humans, I read a lot. This year I read 100 books, many of them recent. I’m also a professional writer. I’ve noticed some things turn up in too many books, & I need authors to stop being super casual about them:

it’s trans day of remembrance. please show us a little extra grace today.

if you’re cis, please educate yourself on trans issues and why we even need a day like this. I’ve written over 150 essays (and a podcast) that are a great place to start.

on the phone w specialists/nurses/doctor offices/imaging centers.

staying on them: do we have paperwork, proper referrals, am I in network, etc etc… to find out at the last stage that my referring doc isn’t in their system, so all for naught.

pre-coffee thoughts with Tilly:

the human heart’s an empathy machine
built for love
compassion
kindness

and that some people
spend their lives
crushing that
out of their heart
in the name of
selfishness and
avarice

breaks mine

pre-coffee thoughts with Tilly:

ode to popcorn shard
stuck under my gums
made yourself at home
as I had some yums

I

flossed and brushed away
your poppy corn-ing
still didn’t find you
until this morning

you suck

My anxiety just said, “it’s going to be you. Call a cardiologist,” so i’ve leveled up to Junior Middle-Aged, I think.

My favorite line in any tv show is when a man turns to another man and says about a woman, “keep her under control.” 😑

My daily checkin with google maps about their efficacy: when it is ten minutes shorter to avoid the freeway, why isn’t that the first option you give me?

To be clear, i do it, too. I mention a friend and wonder immediately if they’d get along with whomever I’m talking to.
You know when you mention another friend to someone, you say, “you would love them.” What is that? Why do we do that?
