@GreyDuck: Dammit. I want to dislike the new Spider-Man on principle, but… that DOES look like it might be kind of good.
@cleolinda: It’s funny when you don’t read the comics—“Oh, Peter’s NOT supposed to be a meebly dork? He’s SUPPOSED to be snarky? Oh.”

What a therapist does is ask you leading questions and radiate non-judgement until you’ve talked your way through all your own defenses and circular bullshit and tried to turn things into entertaining anecdotes and try to convince yourself that “it’s not that bad” until you run out of excuses and you have to say the truth: What you want. What you need. What you feel. What you’re afraid of.

Writer, Professional, Good – Whatever →
You’ll know when you’re a good writer when your craft is good enough that you don’t worry about whether you can do what you want to do with your writing, and instead you wonder about how you’re going to do it. You probably won’t notice the first time this happens. When you do notice it, it probably won’t be a big deal. You’ll be more focused on the writing.

you know I wonder if back in the day when The Final Problem came out Victorians were sending out letters with “Dear sir, have you read the latest Holmes story yet? I simply cannot handle it. I have cried an unseemly amount of tears. I cannot. Oh God.” and then there’s just a big ink scribble because keysmashing wasn’t an option

osheamobile:
Between the gorgeous gowns, Disney princess gifs, and this Sailor Senshi generator meme I’ve been playing with, my Tumblr dashboard is probably the least manliest place I have on the Internet. And y’know what? I’m fine with that. I’m enjoying the hell out of this, and nobody has the right to tell me I’m doing it wrong. So bring on your frilly period dresses. Explain to me the...

“You might have killed him!” she cried breathlessly.
“You can’t kill that kind of a snake with a hat-pin; you have to stamp on its head. But I rather believe it will be some time before Mr. Craig will again make the mistake of insulting a woman because she appears to be defenseless.” Elsa’s chin was in the air. The choking sensation in her throat began to subside. “The deadly hat-pin; can’t you...

Mike: I will say. The entire event was worth it, just for the vitriol from the audience. I’ve never seen anything like that before. Matt: Agreed. If you can guarantee you’ll see it with an audience as vocal as the one we did, I could almost recommend the movie. Mike: I’ve seen the silent look of disgust in the, “Well, that was a waste of time,” sort of way. But not...

P.S. to authors: I know that bad reviews can hurt. I know that sometimes bad reviews are objectively WRONG. Shut up anyway. If you’re a decent person with a good book, your readers will defend the thing. And that’s the dream. That’s what Goodreads is for.

People tell girls not to listen to the Creep Radar. They tell girls it’s cold or rude or mean to do what the Creep Radar says. Because if girls always acted on their internal Creep Radars, they might only have sex or hang out with people they really, genuinely, completely liked or loved. And we couldn’t have that, could we? Sheer anarchy, I tell you!

The Black Turkey Recipe →
As the bird cooks, it will first get a light brown, then a dark brown, then darker and darker. After about 2 hours you will think I’m crazy. The bird will be turning black. (Newcomers to black turkey will think you are demented and drunk on your butt, which, if you’ve followed instructions, you are.) In fact, by the time it is finished, it will look as though we have ruined it....
