Writer. He/Him. I want to talk about books and horror movies. Enjoy some periodic pictures of my terrible cats. 🏳️‍🌈
I heard my door open and assumed my son was checking if I was asleep.

What he was really doing, was placing a whole, fully peeled banana beside my leg on my bed.

English lacks the depth to express the experience of having a slimy, phallic shape rupture into goo under your naked thigh.

Hey everyone! What social activities do you do? EG: exercise or dance classes, D&D groups, writer's groups, tax... parties.

I am trying to make a list of ways people can meet new people, but I only want things you personally actually do and attend.

I studied book sales for my dissertation, and a large Twitter following was more important to sales than any other social network I tested, with sales increasing proportionally with followers at a rate nearly as high as fame/size-of-author-advance

Loosing Twitter is a really big loss for writers
Much has been made of the "end of clout" for the biggest Tweeters, but for independent journalists, Twitter was a vital utility. Its swift decline has been a real loss for small and medium-sized media outlets, indie writers and academics, and the public overall.

It’s heartbreaking what ten years and a Nazi-enabling takeover can do to one of the most important tech utilities of the modern era. I speak, of course, of Twitter. Ten years ago this summer, I buil...

In an impossibly cool move, Joe Murray, creator of Rocko's Modern Life, has noticed his book about creating animation is out of print and massively over-priced on the second hand market.

So he's put it on his site for free.

I like that this website does a bad job of showing the original tweet that's being replied to so your timeline just fills up with weird little snippets like "oh great, let's make babies even bigger" or "what about dog owners who need to use the bus?"

While Baja and Southern California receive torrential rain, a 100 year drought snarls traffic, with 200 cargo ships waiting to pass, through the Panama Canal because there’s not enough fresh water to fill the channel from freshwater lakes.

Someone told me that this app may seem very empty because of this default setting that requires replies to have 2 likes or more before they show up.

Indeed! I changed it so that all replies show up, and suddenly the place seems much more lively. I highly recommend changing it in your settings.

When I was four, I told my girl cousin she couldn't play with her brother and I, because it was a 'boys only' game. I remember being so angry people kept telling me I was a girl. I don't think I stopped being angry until I transitioned.
Reskeet with what turned you trans

For me, it was the subliminal messages in Josie and the Pussycats. It implanted the message, "I know I want to be just like Fiona," and it stuck.

If journalism about other topics worked the way it did with trans stuff...

...any time newspapers and magazines covered anything to do with churches or Christianity in general, half the article would be quotes from the Church of Satan.

All of my encounters with a list celebrities in unexpected locations have been me recognizing them, them tensing up in anticipation, then visibility relaxing when I leave them alone.

(A celebrity went to the Ekka and my Facebook feed is all photos of them. I feel agoraphobic on their behalf.)
