On an AA flight that landed at JFK waiting for a gate. Two littles were crying because of their ear pain on landing. After a couple minutes the flight attendant started singing *Twinkle Twinkle little star’, the entire plane joined in, the kids stopped crying, and this is the world I wanna live in.

Super/Man - The Christopher Reeve Story is streaming on MAX right now. Definitely worth your time. An amazing documentary.

Assuming all fanfiction is written poorly really just shows you've never been caught in the chokehold of a 150k slowburn that changed the course of your life at 2:40am written by someone whose username has 4 Zs in it and they only wrote one fic and then vanished like an ethereal legend.

Fucking typos, man. Happens every time. Ignore the "a" in my first sentence. *sigh*
Well, this is a lovely to come across. I'm honored that something I wrote so long ago has stuck with you. Thank you. 🥰

P.S. No need to be nervous. I'm just a fan of the show (and all the fanfic) like everyone else in this fandom.
Also, @lbbower.bsky.social deserves her own tweet 🥹 I cannot believe she‘s here and I get to nervously blink. „Dance Without Sleeping“ to me truly is *the* classic MSR fic, and one of the first ones I read. It has stayed with me for 25 something years.

I’ve been having a rough few weeks, can I get Alison Hammond from #GBBO to give me a pep talk?
November 23, 2024 at 2:34 AM
Nailed it.
Introvert life be like:
- Shy
- Doesn't mind spending day alone to do stuff
- Finds someone who they vibe with
- Yaps a lot
- Takes couple days to recharge
- *Someone messages first* Omg they want to talk to me? 😳👉👈
- Not seen for couple days to recharge again
- Does not interact with big groups

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. Day 1/20.

It's like being in an co-dependent, abusive relationship. "Yes, he hurts me. But I love him."
We can only hope that one day the abused will find the courage to leave.

Can't help people who are committed to their own self destruction especially if they are in a death cult.
