Hello, new followers! I guess it’s time for another introduction.
I’m Alix (she/her). I write for TV & video games. Love all things super, stellar, and supernatural — especially when they also make you laugh.
I post a lot of gay nonsense and pics of my cat. In fact, here’s one now.
Welcome! 👋🏻🏳️🌈

You know how like 20 years ago showrunners gave new writers a shot and hired staff writer level people and like guided them through the levels of writing for tv and stuff? Is anyone doing that now? Because back then I was in middle school but now I’d like to be having that

my favourite part of Halloween (1978) is when Michael Myers knows how to drive a car despite being in a psychiatric hospital since he was six years old

In a time when universities are well aware that students are generating papers with AI, assigning an essay is certainly a fucking choice.

Cornell’s official statement. Look at the wording.
“None of the individuals charged were offered the opportunity to write essays as a *sole* consequence of their involvement.”
Oh, so they got *temporary* suspensions AND an essay. That obviously counts as justice! (/s)

“It’s not ALL men.”
None of the 50+ men the Cornell rapists invited to come join them in raping a woman they’d drugged went to the authorities or tried to stop it.
Not all men would rape an unconscious woman, but where are the men who’d try to stop it, or EVEN FUCKING OBJECT?

Spirit Halloween is such a diva. Show up unannounced on a random day in late summer, leech us all dry for two and a half months, then vanish until the following year. Absolute icon.
