Ok so when Microsoft was making the first Xbox I was doing Flash ads for them and they had an 800 page brand standards binder and when I used a green that was, and I quote, 6% off, I got my ass chewed out. Fucking losers now. Have some goddamn self respect.

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

When you’re dead and gone and your great grandchildren ask what good you did in your lifetime, all they’ll have are those pictures of you being the worst kind of human at the worst time in your life’s history.

There is a special curse for SF writers. Not ‘interesting times’ but ‘may you live to see the future you wrote about.’

i know a lot of people are like "live for spite!!!" and i 100% support that if that's what keeps you going but if it doesn't work for you you can live for a variety of reasons, including "read book that isn't out yet", "love", "step on a crunchy leaf", "look at the river", "pat a creature" etc
