Back on this vibe for 2025, although without my best friend by my side. Miss you every day, Spooky.
You buy one pack of tortillas on a whim and suddenly you turn into @scalzi.com
Anyway, if you've ever wondered how to turn salad toppers into a meal without salad, I've got great news

This is the constant state of mind in the US. I've only been aware of how insane it is for a decade, after living/working abroad for a few months.
This is not a functional society.

I may have to try to sell some paintings 🫠 having not even finished all the ones I need to finish.
Not that any of us have money, but maybe I can figure something out.

Help?: I'm in the research/draft phase of my new comic and am looking to interview folks who've done roadie/merch/sound work with a touring band. Mostly logistics questions. This would be paid and over email. Please DM if we're mutuals, or reply here. Thanks!

I had already decided today was a knit 'n kitten-cuddle day and was profoundly pleased with that decision well before I actually checked my phone.

I am a chronic post liker. I will like your post. It will mean many things. 'This is good', 'I hear you', 'It gets better', 'This was funny', 'Yahoo', 'Throwing eggs'. You will deal with it. This is our social contract

always so sad to see the English speaking community refer to China-coded arcs of hoyoverse games as just "the same China shit" because it's so absurdly limiting to imagine all things coming from the total sum of the Chinese imagination as just a singular universe of fiction

So hey new virus mutation just dropped. If you have a horrible sore throat, fever that won't go down with NSAIDs, bad headaches, PLUS all the other symptoms of the flu, but are testing negative for COVID and Flu A&B on home tests?
You have Subclade K/H3N2. You have the flu and it will suck.

i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results
that human element elevates the work

Who needs AI when we had stuff like this? I’ll take photoshop edits over the slop any day

ADHD is when you have to “pay attention” but you can’t “pay,” because you’re broke. But, on the plus side, you have a million dollars in gift cards to the one thing you feel like doing.

You will take my epithets from my cold, dead phalanges-laden graspers.
(It depends on what you're writing, and why. Epithets can be useful for narrative cadence and contextual clarity. They are annoying in research papers. Relevance varies in newswriting.)

We were doing writing tips the other day, right? Just thought of a good one -- stop it with the fucking synonyms. If you're writing about, say, Paul McCartney, you can just say "McCartney" every time, not "the ex-Beatle", "the former Wings frontman", "the left-handed bassist" etc.
