Well, the rabbit's out of the PM bag! I have a lot of thoughts on what it means at last to be fulfilling the dream I've nurtured since I was 7 years old, but for right now I'm afraid all I have for you is the mental image of me flapping in a circle while I shout, I'M GOING TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR!!

Anyway. They spent the last decade telling us STEM degrees were the future and the Humanities were worthless then they spent hundreds of billions of dollars to build a glitchy Humanities robot.

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, and next appears in the narrative as a Valkyrie, having joined the host of Odin’s chosen-daughters via some process obscured by a lacuna in the manuscript.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, eventually found him seated on the Golden Throne of Holy Terra. There, his body writhes, sustained by eldritch technologies and the lives of the thousand souls fed to him every day, so that he may never truly die.

Currently listening to the audiobook of HE SHALL THUNDER IN THE SKY and positively CACKLING:
"'Is that him?' demanded Emerson ungrammatically."
(Yes, I am someone who actually says, "Is that he?" in real life. Yes, I am beautifully insufferable.)

<whispers> The Internet was a much more interesting place back when people only posted if they had something they truly wanted to share, rather than feeling pressed to "come up with more content." We spend our days sifting through filler and feeling forced to make more and more of our own.

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

See, I learned this back in 6th grade from watching the Sailor Starlights' transformation sequences, in which their butts rounded when they transformed into women.
Male buttocks feature less fat pads than female ones, making the base forms more angular. When simplified, they can be blocked out using two short cylinders angled outward – use this approach whether you're #3dmodeling, sculpting, or studying #anatomy for art. #characterdesign

I have a weird question for the #bird people on here. Do you think someone could tell that a book was pooped on specifically by a sparrowhawk (or perhaps hawks generally) just from the feces? I'm looking at a 16th c. case where witnesses claim books were pooped on specifically by sparrowhawks!

Dreamt that Jeremy Irons was dining at the table next to me, and when I couldn't help but exclaim, "BRIDESHEAD REVISITED!" he flew up to the ceiling, where he hung upside down like a vampire while telling me how much he hated Brideshead because he had to cry so much.

Pretty sure the only high school yearbook superlative to have aged worse than the fact that I was voted "Most Likely to be the Next JK Rowling" are the poor kids who were voted "Most Likely to be the Next Donald Trump."
