Sometimes I get arguing on the internet about #characters and I need to get a whole thing out of my system.

It's been a whirlwind, but Jimmy Kimmel's return is a sign that we can still make a difference with payment processors too.

Steam may be clamping down on post-launch NSFW content for adult games. I take a look at the issue, whether Steam Early Access NSFW titles are actually going away (spoiler: it's complicated), and analyze a leaked copy of the Steam Mature Content Survey

Post-launch NSFW content may require DLC review on Steam. A look into Steam's Mature Content Survey and "9000 year old vampires attending high school."

Even if we take this "Tylenol causes autism" BS as true, the alternative is a higher incidence of fetal spine and brain malformations, which are often fatal, which can be caused by fevers during pregnancy. Why is that a better outcome?
Autism isn't the worst thing that can happen.

I don't envy Kimmel. He has the chance to do the funniest thing right now, but the funniest thing might be any of a dozen actions. Do a monolgue about why he's quitting and then just walk out? Do an entire monologue about Epstein? Re-do the exact same monologue?

You are not supposed to be excited about the Rapture. If you're feeling superior to the people who you think aren't getting raptured, then you're committing the sin of pride, and you're going to be stuck here with the rest of us.

Disney paid $16 million to Trump to settle a bogus lawsuit involving George Stephanopoulos.
Disney fired Terry Moran for calling Stephen Miller a “world-class hater.”

That Disney has walked back one of those after immense public pressure doesn't change who they are.

Do We Need to Re-evaluate The Way We Look At Conspiracy Narratives?
It was the late 90's, and I was a teenager dressed in black, standing in the middle of a popular chain book store, holding a raspberry mocha in a paper cup, and perusing the books on witchcraft.

I am rewriting a scene today, and it's easy to approach this by just saying to yourself "This is bad, fix it" but you can make it a lot easier on yourself by making a little list of what you did and didn't like, and using that for a mini outline.

I talk about various ups and downs of writing a lot. Some days are a transcendent breakthrough, other days are pure despair. Today is just putting one foot in front of the other, doing the work, and those days are also good and important.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors.
I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.
