Yeah we got almost 20 out of the last one & the dryer is still going. But oof. After total flood rebuild last year I’d just detangled myself from the constant full-crash position so I took its death personally 🀣

Oh. No. I’m so sorry. The only upside to our washer crapping out at Christmas is I finally got a speed queen so I can be super smug about having a union-made possibly immortal washer that will probably outlive me & doesn’t have a fucking app or WiFi. The expenditure hurt tho.

Hey y’all, I’ve found where we can send all our unsolicited advice!

That’s probably not what they meant. Maybe consider subscribing instead. That’s just my own unsolicited advice for mutuals in DC/DMV.

You choreograph crocodiles, you accept there will be consequences. This is why I shall henceforth only work with alligators.

I just realized I need another copy because I keep giving mine away. It’s expensive living in a neighborhood of people who actually read & are curious about their world & live in 1954 houses 🀣🀣🀣

I’m recovering from lengthy illness & an accident. I read this before sleeping for 10 hours last night & the dreams I had were A LOT. Also possibly in the form of a musical? My brain may have embroidered musical numbers into the hazy memories retroactively, but regardless: weird. Yet delightful.

Emphasizing I have so far not needed PreP or post-exposure rabies vax myself but we’re a nosy bunch so I’ve been present for many. No one should take medical advice from forensic anthropologists etc etc etc Ask your doctor etc etc etc

I’ve gone with a lot of colleagues in the last 20 years as we need lots of vax & for rabies the needle gauge [in the US] has been the same as flu vax, tho they use the pediatric gauge for a number of reasons. If you’ve been exposed, don’t hesitate bc of misinfo - I def get it about the needles!!!

The thing is, no one becomes an expert on a show because they HATE it. The critics & scholars wanting to talk race & gender & whedon’s creepy brand of feminism in this show were proposing these panels because they were engaged. It’s genuinely gratifying to see these critiques get positive attention.

the fact that the Starbucks on his campus boasts of being the busiest in DC for whatever weird reason just makes this even funnier to me for stupid reasons I can’t even explain

Cover reveal day!

I'm thrilled to announce my new novel coming from @sagapressbooks.bsky.social, SHE ISN'T HERSELF TONIGHT

Alien abductions, a break-up from hell, and what we become when our worst enemies are ourselves.

Never forget a programmer who rejected all the critical panels & then said later, β€œIf there are scholars or critics with valid criticism, wouldn’t there be panels?”

The right answer was β€œSTFU you giant mediocre gatekeeping rutabaga.” But I think I just weaseled out & said β€œyou rejected them all.”

The Firefly Episode We're Really Glad Joss Whedon Didn't Get to Make Last night's Firefly reunion special on the Science Channel contained the requisite amount of love for the spaceship that Joss Whedon and friends built.

And if you are super-excited for this alleged new season and/or PR stunt that’s nice for you. But if you weren’t deep enough into the fandom to know some of the awful places they considered taking the show, here’s one refresher from 2012. gizmodo.com/the-firefly-...
