New pinned post! Vibes here are all over the place, but my primary creative outlets are cosplay and making things from my fandoms. This thread is the highlights reel, when I remember to cross-post.

Any adaptation of Frankenstein where Victor is older than 23 when he builds the creature is telling a different story than the one Mary Shelley told.

Joyce Carol Oates absolutely reading Elon Musk for filth is pretty incredible, but something I'd point out is his feigned interest in games, and how fake that was, paying people to boost his accounts and play for him, and the rare time we actually got to see him play, he was absolutely miserable.

I saw a random reddit comment where someone theorized that Pennywise and Mary Poppins were the same species of primordial psychic entity, but Pennywise feeds on fear while Poppins feeds on joy. both of them eat kid emotions because fear and joy are more intense in kids. This is Canon for me now.

look. call your senator. but don't forget that requiring you to do this every single time, even when it's something obviously and unambiguously evil being passed, is part of a system designed to wear us down and close off our ability to imagine a better world

Honestly one of the worst, most disturbing paragraphs — on the basis of process, substance, and effect — I’ve read in a Supreme Court order or opinion in a very long time.
![Displaying passport holders' sex at birth no more offends equal protection principles than displaying their country of birth—in both cases, the Government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment. And on this record, respondents have failed to establish that the Government's choice to display biological sex "lack[s] any purpose other than a bare ... desire to harm a politically unpopular group." Trump v. Hawaii, 585
U. S. 667, 705 (2018) (internal quotation marks omitted).
Nor are respondents likely to prevail in arguing that the State Department acted arbitrarily and capriciously by declining to depart from Presidential rules that Congress expressly required it to follow.
