I agree about fandom entitlement from the community but it is partially his fault as well in this case, as he has had a tendency to promise stuff and then not do it.

It’ll probably be “James S.A. Corey,” aka GRRM’s old New Mexico buddies Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. Franck worked for him as a PA; Abraham wrote some decent fantasies on his own and collaborated with Martin and Gardner Dozois on a short novel back around ten years ago.

Statistically speaking, he's highly unlikely to finish the series himself. And that's fine. 

Clay. I have some Moroccan Rhassoul clay now, but you can get a jar of Aztec Secret Indian Clay for $10, and it will last a long time. It’s great for making diy face masks (you can add essential oils and a few drops of pure argan oil or jojoba oil for dry skin, or apple cider vinegar for acne prone skin). And it’s…

A wonderful woman with great ideas and a good head on her shoulders. Who will be reduced to ‘Pocahontas’ by our current POTUS, unfortunately.

Every woman that just read this just smiled and nodded knowingly. I’m glad you are feeling better and that you have an amazing wife to pull your string. 

for some reason, my part of Texas is just crawling with Mormons and literally every Mormon I know tends to be like “oh no Coffee and tea are EVIL” as they chug Dr. Pepper (mainly because Dr Pepper is the state drink and they know if they drink it, they’ll still be able to mingle with the non Mormons)

I just returned from a town hall with Elizabeth Warren, where I didn’t get to actually hear her speak ‘cause even the overflow room was at capacity, but I did get to take a truly awkward-looking selfie and she also came out to greet everyone sweating outside. That is the only good news I have to report. 

For me, that bridge too far was believing crazy bullshit.

I am an idiot and I am married to the greatest woman in the world.

If you're sincerely "not familiar" with the Mormon Church's cover up of sex abuse, then you're committing far greater offense than Emily and every other critic of mass institutions that abuse our most vulnerable citizens.

THAT GOLDEN TABLET THING IS REAL, YOU HERETIC.

I want to hug Bruce so hard and kiss his fat stripey front paws!

fwiw, i feel like you missed the point. lds viewing caffeine as ‘bad’ but not giving a fuck about molested children was the point. it’s the cognitive dissonance and/or wanton hypocrisy around ‘protecting’ their youth.

cvs sucks utterly and completely, that’s a given. however, as someone who used to be a pharmacist, there’s more going on than just counting pills. there’s a lot that goes on that people don’t know about. cvs also routinely understaffs its stores.

Shelter Cat Update!

Last week I shared on SNS how my friend of decades(and my ex) had a massive heart attack. This morning, my talented, frustrating, loving, goofball friend died. He had conquered addictions in his past, but cigarettes never loosened their grip. Connected to tubes and surrounded by devastated family is a shitty way to go,…

Take this for what you will, but I heard once that the Mormons trekking out west to the ‘promised land’ originally had coffee but then ran out and the leaders were like “god came to me in a vision and said that coffee is Satan’s drink!”

Why not take the same effort and send out guidance that suggests that Jesus will love you more if you help out a homeless person. Or volunteer at a shelter or some shit. It just always has to be stupid nonsense like this. These odd prohibitions that will bring people closer to their god. 

Bullshit.
