Nothing funnier than having a 20 minute crashout about how much you hate your job and then continuing with your day. I hope hunter-gatherers did this midway through tracking their lunch.

missionary so we can continue our argument from before

been turning over in my mind recently that a lot of 'good romance' these days is touted as couples who 'deeply understand each other' or 'just instantly get each other' etc, and whatever that really means aside, i would like to posit that imo there is something inherently romantic in the opposite - in not quite 'understanding' or 'getting' another person, but being willing to work at understanding them, seeing things their way, and supporting them anyway. not this instantaneous mind-meld 'self recognition through the other' stuff. i want both people in my romance couples to feel desire and work for the rest; to be changed and shaped and challenged by each other!!! if there is no friction, there's no traction, and therefore no staying power!!!

was discussing tumblr habits w somebody in a mutual discord server last night and they were so gobsmacked i like to ideally have 100+ posts in my queue at any given time 😭 how many do y’all have in your queue if you use it??

"I have never seen a cat that showed affection/love for it's owner" is the pet ownership version of "I don't believe in Female Orgasms they don't exist, after all, my wife has never had one"

i love friendships that influence me to be kinder, smarter and healthier. i love when people have a positive impact on me.

Everyone go make excessive use of your local library's generous lending policies to borrow my books and read them for free. Thank you libraries.

Yes, please, particularly in the UK and Ireland where I get remunerated through the Public Lending Right scheme, set up by activist lesbian socialists to make sure writers earn money when their texts are borrowed from libraries.
