I’m interested in hearing what he thinks of it. I wasn’t as impressed as some others, liked parts of it though. Ancillary Sword got my top vote for the Hugo.

When I was about 16, my mother had a massive heart attack, died, was brought back to life by a quick paramedic armed with an AED, and spent 2 weeks in the hospital recuperating. I was a weird, alienated, depressive kid, and having a parent near death wasn’t helping. One of my mother’s nurses took a shine to me, and we…

I have this best friend at work and for Christmas I got him a copy of Guards! Guards! since I kept talking Pratchett up and he had no idea where to start. Today he came to my cube, the book finished, and heaped praises upon it. Armed with a list I gave him of a reading order, he went to B&N on his lunch break and…

I’d like to talk about how great Carrie Fisher’s face is. Always.

Team bird represent though.

You are awesome!

Pretty proud of my Aunt powerz this year. My brother is super Christian, super Texas conservative. I got my niece into Star Wars and Supergirl. Took her to see TFA. Got her Disney Infinity and the Rey pack (so we could play together as Ahsoka and Rey.) I told my brother that this time next year she will get ALL the DC…

Don’t fuck with the sloth, Sir David. They may be slow, and they may not be violent, and they may only poop once a week, and they may not be scrappy, but...

My sister and I always use one measurement when buying gifts for our nieces - we go for MPAV (maximum parental annoyance value) every year. One year we brought them belly dancer scarves (the kind with dozens of fake metal coins sewn on) from our trip to Egypt. They make noise if you even look at them. We totally won…

Yeah, but sometimes it’s kinda fun to embarrass them, especially when they are teenage boys.

I didn’t think having a lady-lead would make that much of a difference to me (I didn’t think I’d feel so included) but it legitimately did in the best way possible.

I feel about this the same way I did about that wall street leonardo di caprio movie Scorcese directed. Another one?? Because there are not enough movies about rich idiots?? You’re Martin Scorcese, you can make a movie about anything you fucking want, and THIS is your chosen topic??? Enough already. Enough.

My brain feels like this.

Hey I just want to let you know that there is no shame on shopping around for a therapist that fits you. I work in mental health and finding a good therapist you can have a meaningful relationship with can be hard, but it’s worth it. I can speak for myself and many others when I say we genuinely care about clients. I…

TBH, I’m havinh my own close call this weekend as well. Shit with my ex and our son nearly drove me to the edge. My son refuses to talk with me, and his dad is encouraging it. After a long argument, I hung up the phone and sat there looking at the bottle of pills. Called my dad for support with dealing with my ex. He…

Your property has a 100 yard border before anyone else’s property? Or is it just large enough you can wait until the drone flies a hundred yards in before you shoot it down?
