I hate Riverdale. Every time I see a tall person I think “Man they don’t even need a ladder”

The weirdest thing about having a major medical diagnosis is how some people start acting like you’re already at death’s door.

For people who are here and not on the bird site, I guess I should say that I may be off and on. Received a pretty severe cancer diagnosis and currently in the hospital.

Author: Antonia Hodgson
Genre: Fantasy
Format: Physical

Fun Fantasy that sort of started as YA-like but then grew more mature by the end. Would have liked more atmosphere but a good start, let’s hope it holds.

Like the vast majority of spiders (certain Australian psychopaths excepted) the Brown Recluse does not seek confrontation and will only bite if threatened or trapped. To use words Kyle Rittenhouse will understand, Brown Recluses have a Castle Doctrine and abide by strict Stand Your Ground laws.

I love the evil children episodes of crime procedurals. Just watched the one in Criminal Minds and when Prentiss goes:
“Your son is a sociopath”
I laugh out loud. Like I love you Emily, but you’re not a psychologist and that is not a diagnosis.

Why the fuck did Taylor Lorenz go?? She logged off for this??
Here’s a partial look at those refusing to skip dinner with Trump. They should all have to explain themselves to the rest of the industry.

And Trump posted an image of himself as some sort of American Jesus healing people.
