This sign serves as an effective warning that I don’t want to be at this bar.

That bar didn’t let my black friends in without fail back in the day so fuck them with a rusty rake anyway. Dude in the Raiden hat is one of the grimiest looking people on planet earth. literally.

Restaurant owners: if you want to share your opinions on a topic that has nothing to do with your restaurant, write a post on Medium or something.

That’s Milk. She’s wearing a muscle suit. She does stuff like that.

My first name is androgynous, for which I have often been quite grateful. I once had a screenplay optioned by a producer who did not find out that I was a woman until after he called me after months of corresponding about rewrites. He thought I was my secretary.

this is why you always pick Brave New World.

This was about 15 years ago, but I was in a screenwriting class in college, and the instructor said to us one day, “this is Susie. She’s a writer, and she’ll be sitting in on some of the classes.” Nobody really knew who she was.

ha, that’s great! Fun fact: my grandfather wrote romance novels, BTW, under female pseudonyms. I did not like them when I read ‘em 20 years ago, but I haven’t read much of the genre...maybe I just didn’t like the genre.

I wamt her to apologise for the epilogue. For making Harry name his son after Snape who bullied Harry from day one at Hogwarts just because Snape had beef with Harry’s dead father. Nothing excuses Snape’s behaviour and it’s fucked up that JK would suggest that Harry owes that motherfucker a single damn thing. Imagine…

Just like how book covers (particularly in YA) get whitewashed - when there’s a white main character, they’re usually front and center on the cover, but when the main character isn’t white they go with something abstract, or obscure the race of the person on the front, because to do otherwise would hurt sales. But, if…

Thirty-seven?!?

I dunno if I’d go that far, but I’d be happier if she apologized for using cute names that spoiled major plot points, or for having all the main characters get married to people they met as kids, or any of the other actual story-telling quirks I disliked. Killing some characters to raise the stakes is pretty standard…

I can’t even imagine having your defining opus be something you did as a 16-year-old. How many creators get distant, hazy, and even bitter about constantly being identified with and grilled on masterpieces they made in their late 20s and 30s, when they were theoretically fully mature adults?

Although if any of you want…

I generally like Rowling’s social media presence, but I have to admit that my respect for her would go to a whole new level if, one of these years, she wrote, “I don’t feel bad at all for killing Sirius or Hedwig or Dobby or any character. It was absolutely glorious to kill every single one of them. If you felt pain…

Johnny?
Well, like, who’s Johnny?
Answer me, Debbie, who’s Johnny?

I think there’s also the effect of being married to Shelley, which averages out to about a year of late-middle age ennui per real-time month. But she also apparently invented being goth by age 14 or so. Combine that with the brilliance of Frankenstein, and it’s an amazing achievement.

Yeah but Victorian 18 is, like, present-day 31.

Fuck that. Ralph Macchio’s career ended when he got arrested for shooting the clerk in Alabama.

Stay cold, stone bitch. Stay cold.

We’re gonna’ do it for Johnny!
