"This is my art and it is dangerous."
My husband drilled a piece of wood he was holding in his hand (for an art project) and drilled a hole in his fingers. This was while wearing a T-shirt that said “art can’t hurt you.”

honestly it was time us highly competent career focused bisexuals got some Representation™️

(it's all lies, Saffy is VERY chaos, she's just in denial. and it's very competent and focused chaos.)
THE INCANDESCENT has been out in the world for one whole week!

Do you like magic school? Jokes? Books about intelligent adults who know what they’re doing?

Consider Saffy Walden, who is not a chaos bisexual, thank you. She’s a highly competent career focused bisexual.
THE INCANDESCENT is a book about money and education and status symbols, about loving your career, about demons, about magic, about fantasy school - but most of all about how 'school' is always a kind of fantasy. Available now!

I wrote almost the entirety of the first draft of this book listening to the TAZ Amnesty soundtrack. I've dusted it off for editing draft 10 and am pleased to find that TAZ could still stand for The AmInTheWriting Zone. (Also Interstellar Blues comes at the 30 min mark—good for timing breaks) #taz

I just think it’s hilarious that people went to college with the Pope. “What’s Ken up to these days? Partner at a law firm outside Pittsburgh, that’s nice. And Bob? Oh, he’s the Pope.”

People will always say they’re your friend and they support you no matter what but then they’ll say some toxic shit to you like “you have to let go of the cursed amulet, it’s changing who you are” and “don’t let its power corrupt you” all because they want the amulet for themselves

"average ulaid warrior kills five of the connachta every year" factoid actually just statistical error. average ulaid kills no connachta, because of the curse. cú gheoirg, who guards the fords and kills over 10,000 connachta each day, was an outlier adn should not have been counted

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Bunch shows how it is done.

The way he points out what the EO *legally* does (directs the VP, acting as just one of many regents) vs what it claims to do (“change the Smithsonian!”—something POTUS can’t do) is fantastic.

We need more of this, less ppl taking EOs as law.
NEW: Internal staff email from Smithsonian secretary Lonnie Bunch addressing Trump’s executive order.

“As always, our work will be shaped by the best scholarship, free of partisanship, to help the American public better understand our nation’s history, challenges and trumphs.”
