for me, JAWS has become a covid movie, tho it's about many things, and its original themes still resonate. that feeling in your gut when something's fucked. everyone tells you it's fine, and why, and you know they're wrong. and you wait. and then you regret waiting. JAWS is about that feeling.

JUST IN: Labour heading toward a landslide victory in the UK. This is their return to power, for the first time since 2010. National exit poll, released moments ago, shows them above 400 seats. The ruling conservatives projected at 131, which would be their lowest since WWII.

Oh holy fuck I just realized why I loved the tv show Dollhouse. Fucking self-knowledge!! I identified ENORMOUSLY with the Dolls, because *pretending to think and feel things is my autistic masking.* My then undiagnosed and unknown autistic masking.

I just typed the phrase, "and I was Obi-Wan Kenobi holding her last hope," and while I feel certain I am not the first person to say it, I am proud for thinking of it. If this is the first time you have heard this usage, please take and utter freely.

Madeline Usher (Mike Flanagan's The Fall of the House of Usher) is what happens when Adelle deWitt (Dollhouse (2009-2010 TV series)) is written realistically and not given a weird semi-redemption, discuss.

tfw you notice a half a day later that the thread getting some retweets has a HILARIOUS typo in it. "Y'all" is not the same as "yell."

Idk if I'm buzzed yet but I keep reading ogres and I'm so confused. 💀 However on the subject of giving: Give blood It's free, you get cool shit, and it's guaranteed to help someone. They also give free health reports to you afterwards and there's no discrimination in who you help nor where.

I used to tell my kids when they were younger, "you can't make it better, but you can definitely make it worse." No, you cannot make this better. The time for those choices is past. But what you choose now CAN make it worse. You can always lose more. What will you choose? What are you gonna DO?

Who can you take in? Who can you shelter? Who can you care for? I'm not saying you have to run an underground railroad. I'm saying times are rough and are going to get rougher, and there is always someone more precarious than you. So who can you help? Aging parent? Extra teen? Friend? A new pet?

Spouse took Tiniest Dog for a walk, went past a construction site. Workers, all ostensibly dudes, spent a moment eyeing each other in the small group telepathy of "is it okay to pet the tiny dog? Will my man-card be revoked? Are we ALL gonna pet the tiny dog?" They did, indeed, pet the tiny dog.

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

Those SF/F stories set in a once-glorious empire, where essential corruption from the founding of the kingdom seeps through, the King is a doddering old man surrounded by squabbling advisors, and a poison spreads through the land driving people from their homes, while the protagonist is helpless?
