If they're 3D printing chicken now, sell it in the shape of those wiggly dragons that are all over the place at Ren Faires and craft shows

The argument for why Disney didn’t want to do The Muppet Show was licensing money (among other things, Muppets are expensive) Well they’re paying for licensing with the Gleeboot no one wants, guess we get to argue for more Muppets now!

Posers be like “this is my Digimon team!” like you have options and aren’t assigned one singular digital buddy without your input. This is now your little guy, ONE little guy, good luck.

EARLY BOOK MAIL FOR MEEEEEEE also pin and sticker mail day yayyyyyy, let’s see what October is getting up to in this, the 20th installment 😱

I brought a Clefairy pen to take notes and my water bottle covered in Sailor Moon and Pokemon stickers to my all-day job interview today. Probably didn’t land the position, but at least they saw who I was through accessories

More good news: you have 8 days to read all the books in anticipation for book 20!! 😀 (this is a reminder to me, a person who meant to do a series reread this summer, and did not)

If you haven't met October "Toby" Daye yet, good news for both of us: all her books are still in print, and you can pick up a copy of ROSEMARY AND RUE today! Learn where I started and meet my girl at the same time. Warning: there's gonna be a lot of blood.

I'm sorry but I invented Waziggy, a mean Ziggy who likes bad things and is rude. I invented him but I cannot control him, and I am afraid of him.

People are really out there being aphobic with their whole chest like “PEOPLE ARE NOT ART, YOU HAVE TO FEEL SEXUAL DESIRE” when aro/ace folks are like “yeah I like to look at my partner because they look nice and it’s not sexual”.

You’re telling me everyone who ever gave birth in the history of humanity isn’t an artist, whether they’re creating good art or bad art or mediocre art??

People annoyed about AJ Andrews doing crowd interviews: shush. She's talking to women who used to play in the last league, we won't have many opportunities to talk to them left. She's talking to fans and possible future players. She's getting evidence for why this is important and should continue.

I love everything Seanan writes, but these books are MY FAVORITE. I don't just think they're the Best Series nominated for this year's Hugo, I think this is the Best Series PERIOD.

As we enter the last week of Hugo voting, a reminder that October Daye is up for Best Series, and winning would be made SO MUCH SWEETER by the fact that I could take my trophy and inform the room "I'm going to Disneyland," then ACTUALLY DO IT, since Disneyland will be less than a mile away. WOW!
