I'm so sorry if your parents were horrid, you have a full right to cut them off.

PSA: Treat your kids with love and respect, openly discuss boundaries and consent, encourage them, never turn down when they want affection, treat them as separate individuals, be endlessly thoughtful and gentle to them, and laugh every day together. 100% chance of a lifelong bond.

Has anyone ever done a production of Glengarry Glen Ross where Ricky Roma is female? All that sad, toxic dude energy flying around and the person they all aspire to be, the office BSD, is a woman. I bet that'd make it super interesting above and beyond the fact that they say fuck 345873967497 times.

Jeez, even the human actors look AI these days. In 5-10 years Dove Cameron will have fully evolved into Pixar Mom form.

I don't understand all the people who miss Blockbuster. I miss all the quirky local video stores that Blockbuster drove out of business!

What if Pluto is just as anthropomorphic as Goofy and chooses to live as a regular dog, whether "getting back to nature" or some fetish thing he has going on with Mickey that, for good or ill (you can decide which for yourself), no one openly acknowledges?

Either way, we should respect his choice.

The more I've thought about the last two seasons of Doctor Who (this last finale especially), and the era before them also, the more frustrated & annoyed I've become (down to writing & showrunning, not the actors), left wondering why I even loved the show in the first place. #DoctorWho /1

This was an important moment on Collision, made all the better by what a big deal it wasn't. 🏳️‍🌈 #wrestlesky

No state elections in RI, no elections in my town. I've got real voter envy over here. Go and do some democracy in your areas if you can, my invincible internet super pals.

After meaning to for years I finally read Lungbarrow. People always talk about it in terms of #DoctorWho canonicity & whether or not to delve into Doctor's origins, but I think they all miss the main point: going home to spend holidays with the family is horrible and awkward for EVERYONE.

Wearing new sneakers today and not one person has asked me "Can you run real fast now?," "can you jump higher now?," or, because they're New Balance, "Sir, are you okay? Do you need assistance?"

"Can you believ..."

Just gonna stop you there because yes, I can. There's no crush depth in Cruelty Ocean, no summit to Mt. Insanity. None of it surprises me, and hasn't for a long time now.
