"Researchers have found that female dolphins have evolved clitorises to feel pleasure, which may explain why they have lots of lesbian sex."

there’s research that shows that the music that imprints on you the most emotionally is whatever you were into when you were like 14. i propose an honorable mention for whatever was the most popular party music when you were like 18-25. source: me listening to my 2000s crunk & hyphy playlist

best writing advice i’ve ever received. first time i saw this post in 2022, i made a new years resolution to follow it. i wrote a novel in 2023. things got derailed in 2024 because cancer, but i recommitted in 2025 and sold 3 stories. never really published otherwise. baby steps are all you need.
There are 242 working days in 2026. If you write just one page a day - just 250-300wds, roughly 5 Bsky posts - you will have two full scripts or a novel by New Years Eve.
If you write just two pages a day - just 500-600 words - you will have five scripts or one epic novel.
Just. Keep. Writing.

when i was in college, i had a summer job processing driver’s license records for a life insurance investigations company. this was 25 years ago so that meant i had to enter paper records into an electronic database. i once processed martin scorsese’s driver’s licenses record.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie
