Writer, reader, lover of trashy media. Occasionally I will post reviews of or rants about books, TV, and movies I enjoy. Also cat pictures
Pinned
If you wonder why you mainly see 4 and 5 star book reviews on my feed, there's a reason. I'm here to talk about the media I love, not to fight other people about what they love. (Don't get me wrong, there is a place for critical reviews. I'm just choosing not to occupy that space personally.)
Today I finally learned something I should have learned years ago: how to make my grandma's turkey and noodles.

Since the Wizard books are cropping up in discourse I must remind the internet:
"But Dune-"
*smack* "HERBERT IS DEEEEAD"
*walks away*
*comes back*
*smack* "AND HIS ESTATE DOESN'T FUND QUEERPHOBIC CAUSES"
*walks away*
*comes back*
*smack* "AND EVEN WHEN HE WAS ALIVE AND A RAGING HOMOPHOBE HE DIDN'T PLEDGE OVER 80% OF HIS NET WORTH TO DESTROYING QUEER PEOPLE"

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Love when aggressive white boys in pick up trucks get road ragey with me for having the audacity to drive the speed limit.

Had to leave work early today because my neck hurts so bad I can't turn my head and Excedrin isn't touching it. Love that for me. 😖

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

I feel like reminding people that any body language analysis or similar practice that says "If this person is fidgeting or messing with their hair or avoiding eye contact, they're being DECEPTIVE" is bullshit because neurodivergent folks do that shit ALL THE TIME.

My partner has COVID. Thus far I am testing negative on a home test, so fingers crossed it will stay that way. 🤞

If by some miracle I get my series published and anyone asks me why books 4 and 5 are so bleak, all I need to tell them is I wrote the first drafts in 2025. Nuff said.

my most unpopular opinion is probably that “if it’s good enough, spoilers won‘t ruin it for you anyway” is actually kinda mid & basic intellectualism, based on a trite model of narrative meaning as "content" to be decoded & appreciated cerebrally rather than *import* to be experienced dynamically
agreed and I also think anti-spoiler backlash has far exceeded its banks in general! “if it’s good enough, spoilers won‘t ruin it for you anyway” NO I want to experience the story at the intended pace and construct my own relationship with the narrative!!!
Back-cover-of-the-book text shouldn’t be allowed to spoil anything that happens in the second half of the book. Authors worked hard to put that stuff in that order!
