I was digging through scrapped projects for fodder tonight and I found an amazing concept/title for a fictional musical that I must find a way to put into my next project.

My yearbook photo is framed in the hall. I think it's the only photo of just me.
Due to a booking error Rudy Giuliani has been laid to rest in the parking lot at Woodlawn Mulch & Chip Depot
This is the first post where I’ve been like, “oh shit, can this be real?! I thought we were all just doing a cathartic bit!”
Heads up y'all, I'm getting a LOT of follows from shady animal rescue accounts today.
The problem with waiting five years to publish something you wrote is that some references DON'T AGE WELL. So I need a replacement poem to say was read aloud at a wedding instead of Gaiman's "The Day The Saucers Came." 😮💨
My worldview has changed over the last 9 years from "When they go low, we go high" to "When they go low, knee 'em in their fucking faces."
Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival
Breaking: The White House released a photograph of President Trump golfing this weekend to dispel recent rumors of his declining health.
With the secret service agent who was matching another photo, it starts to build up. He's wearing the same exact outfit in a photo with trump wearing the same outfit, but Trump has a jacket over it in the other one. 🤔
Lol at the Dunkin drive through
White as default creates the expectation that race belongs to marginalized groups, which means that awareness of race belongs to marginalized people, which means that any reaction or decisions based on race—even if started by white people—is ultimately the responsibility of marginalized people
If you're out in the world today please be extra kind to the retail workers and wait staff you interact with. We'd all much rather a long weekend, but the capitalism machine knows not rest or kindness.
As a reader, I enjoy both light prose and dense prose. As long as the story is compelling. Depth and quality have nothing to do with style, IMHO. Too many people equate writing skill with the levels of difficulty/challenge for the reader. In truth, it should ALL take skill. Any writer can half-ass!
They would be fools if they didn't take advantage of a pre-warmed bed.
A lot of the discourse about Newsom comes down to people finding ways to say “I just think trans people aren’t as important as my other concerns” but saying it in the most cowardly way because they know how dick they would sound it they said it directly But we all know what you are, transphobes
I feel like everybody in the Republican party could benefit from reading The Interestings where this is the theme: Was it better or were you just a child?
And as he looks more and more like a raw pork chop left in a hot car, there's going to be scrambling for power.
I think I might add Trump as Joker memes to my low quality account litmus test.
It's funny how we went from saying "do not comply in advance" every 30 seconds on this app to suddenly decrying that nothing can be done to stop Trump. It almost feels organized. It certainly feels chickenshit.
We are all living in Matt and Trey's "caring is gay" hellscape and Trump is the apotheosis of it.
Seriously, fuck these people. www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2...
Awkward going on Instagram this morning and seeing all of my colleagues who went to Alabama posting their excited for game day posts.
Hopefully this is what causes Americans to put their foot down (now that it's safe to do so).
Thanks for the info! It still holds that some cultures are better at differentiating certain colors than others. And it matches up with research that shows cultures with more words for thinking are also better at metacognition.
Realizing that there are two yet unconnected characters in my series who absolutely have slept together... Lol. Gonna have fun figuring out how that plays out as they will NOT be end game and they hooked up in backstory when he was still bad at sex.
I've been in a big editing push on several drafts I have. Some of them have been sitting and cooling for a little too long and now I've got to change some out of date social media references. Also got to cut talk about the New York times like it's still respected.
The ground would become so sodden and that we'd have to worry about a quicksand event.
I don't know if he's on the edge today it might push him over to hear this.
They should at least force it to be a headline folks have to actively ignore.
You gotta admit he looks like an old ham left in the sun.
This is why some researchers believe the ancient Greeks didn't even see blue. There are other cultures that are better at differentiating shades of green than we are because they have more words for it.
Nw. I absolutely see how that may have come across.
That morning I told a kid who didn't know who Charles was that, "He'll be King of England any minute" and the kids were like, "Wtf Mrs. S." I told them how old she was and said like it or not, it's a matter of time. Then they came running back later in the day to tell me I did it. 🤣
True. I'm just categorizing it how he sees it.
Yup. Anything to sell supplements and assure himself that he's smarter than the experts because he's in on a big secret.
Ironically he believes that all medical conditions are caused by our food and environment, so cutting someone who's trying to find the environmental cause is actually counter to his goals.
When it does happen, make sure your memes have alt text and your hashtags are pascal cased. I want to be able to like and share everything.
Yeah but there's a lot of people who work in the White House, and you can't have a corpse just sitting in the residence for several days.
What the fuck is wrong with his nose? I know the zoom in is really low quality but it doesn't really look like his profile.
The memes are funny, but I think while there may be health problems, they wouldn't be keeping the lid on it for days if he were actually cooked.
I see and I hear and I speak no evil; I carry no malice within my breast; yet quite without wishing a man to the Devil one may be permitted to hope for the best. -“An Ethical Grook” by Piet Hein
I'm sure constantly having everyone asking about his pedophile friend hasn't been good for his heart these past few months.
I missed that one.
Everyone on Bluesky is poised like we're waiting for the DVD logo to hit the corner of the screen
I think it's more likely that he's incredibly sick because I think if he had died someone would have leaked it from the White House already.
I mean he's already lived out the average life expectancy for men by 3 years so statistically kind of likely.
Live your life so that people don’t consider rumors of your death a form of edging.
At the very least he's going to be forced to come out behind a lectern and claim he's the healthiest he's ever been while caked in makeup and stumbling around.
"The Grim Reaper won't come for him unless you are in bed and asleep." "But I'm too excited to go to sleep!"
People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.
Human beings are made stronger by our ability to communicate and form community. The Republican party seems to want to tear our greatest advantage apart. USA: Master of None.
Duct tape some extra flagpole to the top.
I woke up the night of the election to my partner having a panic attack because he checked the news and saw he'd won. So when it happens, I hope I find out because my partner gets to wake me with hope.
Aw but they miss good @shakespeare.lol posts too.
Considering how it's based on a lack of appearances and a schedule, I think you can sleep tonight.
I think it would be very hard to keep the lid on if he were already dead as he's always had the LEAKIEST of administrations, but it's possible he's very sick.
Sara Bareilles Girls 5 Eva. All of it, but top 3 moments: "Dawn's Fears Song", "Medically Gross" scene, and "Later."

The guy whose only claim to fame is rating the fuckability of women at his school did this? Shocking. I am shocked. Can't believe he did this with his money. Couldn't have seen that coming.
New Hampshire: Live Free or We'll Kill You
If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me
The Iron Bowl isn’t the only rivalry in Alabama. Auburn and Tuscaloosa tied last year in letter writing. 🏈 It’s time for a rematch! Let’s see who can write the most letters for the Pennsylvania Supreme Court election. Wherever you live, step up and write today: votefwd.org
Sending prayers for contained poop.
If this had happened under Obama, you know there would have been violence in the streets.
I think Scarlett Johansson is the first one of those people I'd be afraid of given the fact that she has sued Disney and continued to be put in movies afterward. Although Tay Tay definitely has the resources to fight Zuck.
What a ghoul celebrating dead kids because it gets her some kind of social media points.
#writingcommunity #writesky One of my WIPs has a labor day party where a bunch of actors on a TV show toast their union. Are any of your characters union folks?
This! And remember the employment protections and benefits that non-union employees enjoy because of those unions.
Are we sure she's not AI? A lot of these videos where a pretty girl doesn't talk but types heinous MAGA thinks over a short video are AI.
As you head into the long weekend, remember Monday is about unions.
Okay Boston, time to defend your reputation. 🦅
What about poop. Can I flush poop?
Woke up this morning with a toddler next to me, so that's how my night went.
I love getting the Amazon rec email of my own books. Why yes, I would like them. It's why I wrote them!
Omg 😆 www.apr.org/news/2024-03...
Special character not available in the font chosen.
Logic must be ignored for 🥵 🥵 🥵
Yes but the Broadway Melody was a whole story so when did the dream part happen in there? 🤔
I'd like Anne Hathaway to start as Queen Elizabeth in a movie about Shakespeare so they can be like Anne Hathaway is Queen Elizabeth I Jenna Ortega is Anne Hathaway
And at what point did he get hit in the head during that whole thing and imagine the Marie Antoinette part? Also is "Singing in the Rain" a musical theater milieu song or a song that they all knew? Bc he just bursts into singing it when he's happy but she asks the orchestra to accompany it later.
It's SO BONKERS. Narratively a mess. What is this Dancing Cavalier movie like, and why are there so many color-dependent things in this black and white 1920s talkie they're making!?

That's what they used to call the high school by the old amphitheater. Not sure if the kids still do, but they did when my partner was in the system.
That's why I'm glad our district chose to allow them to be off in backpacks.
Headlines vaguely calling them "federal agents" instead of ICE or "border agents" are meant to make it look like there might be legitimate cause for arrest. It masks how evil this is.
Relatable.
They don't know how much activity I get
I'm not giving them a dime after the way they sane washed Trump and ran transphobic misinfo. Deleted the whole app.

juries, for all their shortcomings, are a vestige of a centuries-old struggles for democracy, a relic from an earlier vision of participatory government. we can wield these early modern lottery-style institutions, expanded by revolutionary-era democratic struggle, to protect democracy in the present
it's always sad to remember that survivors of mass shootings will also have to pay for a lifetime of medical services, including surgeries for gunshot wounds, therapy, physical rehabilitation, and prescription medications for anxiety, depression, and physical pain
My childhood friend's little brother who went full Maga is getting divorced. Apparently he's talking like she's a gold digger and I'm like... well when you talk about marriage like it's an like investment proposition with high value men and women, no wonder you get gold diggers.
Anyone who tells you that you do not need to register copyright on published works in this country is incorrect. If you want to be able to undertake any kind of judicial enforcement of your copyright, you need to register your copyright.
Congrats to @randallwoodfin.bsky.social on a win last night. I'm concerned that over the line in Hoover the cop with the Make Hoover Hoover Again signs won the mayor seat.
