The time to bring back Firefly was 2005-2007, when people were still whining about it and before Joss became irredeemable.

I cannot see a good outcome for it now. Can we please let some stories die with their dignity intact? These people would recuscitate a mummy if it could sign a check.

Perfect place for it. Hope you left a nice tip.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Why the fuck am I getting buried in Italian spam today? Is it a national holiday in Russia?

Ditto those rusty-ass doors over a staircase. Not my fat ass.

Whatever the free market can do to the fat body, it will soon do to yours. No one is thin enough and no one is safe. Eyes on the fat canary.

Pay attention to the things fat people won’t do. We know the built environment is crumbling because it collapses for us first. We know air travel is getting shittier because it pinches us the hardest. We know medical care is getting more expensive and more evil because it make us the problem.

It’s realistic! We live in the neglected infrastructure of a crumbling empire!

The main reason I learned to care so much about trans rights, of course, is that I am very lucky and have had trans friends since I was a teenager back in the early 2000s. But being so deeply enchanted by "Billy Shakes Presents: Gender is a Performance" probably didn't hurt.

Fountain pens are a great idea if you love to aproach your desk in a Miranda Priestly mien and ask "why is no one reeeeeaaady?" while you hunt for ink and lick nibs.

A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.
