But bigger picture also I love how Frozen 2 is about being willing to deconstruct the history you were taught

a man and a woman are kissing with the words " if only there was someone out there who loved you " below them Alt: Hans of the Southern Isles saying, β€œOh Anna. If only there was someone out there who loved you.”

Plus, we all know someone like this

a scene from the movie frozen with a quote about controlling what you can Alt: Olaf the snowman sitting amongst children playing and putting crystals over his head, as he gently says to them, β€œWe’re calling this β€˜controlling what you can when things feel out of control.’”

Watching Frozen 1 & 2 with friends at the surprisingly perfect time after all and finding it all the more relevant now

Putting this here too:

Running my art or writing through AI is an instant block. So, if you have the urge to do that, even just to 'see how it looks' don't show me or I'll block you.

I won't be associated with it in any capacity I can avoid and I can absolutely avoid you. It's not even hard.

I met a childhood hero of mine today. Tim Jacobus is one of the major influences who inspired my love for making art. I remember being beyond wowed by the Goosebumps covers. I stared at the covers and tried to draw them, just as much as I spent time reading the books themselves. (If not more so)

really tired of conversations about how we need to get people to spend more time offline that don't acknowledge that one of the reasons people ARE online is their access needs aren't being met in physical spaces. This is especially true for queer people and disabled people.

Idea: Romance with an established couple. They're passionate and loving but tired and busy so things never seem to line up right for the intimacy they want. The end is better scheduling, payoff is a sex scene. It's been awhile though so it's awkward and possibly laughed through but adorable.

I wish there was some way we could summon up the collective outrage of the summer of 2020 without, you know, a global pandemic and a bunch of murderous cops.

For the Student Who Said Grammar Doesn’t Matter When People Are Dying

What can kill is unclarity.
The misplaced modifier, for instance:
Having no hope, the wind didn’t move him.
Did the wind have no hope?
Clearly the writer meant,
Having no hope, he wasn’t moved by the wind.
But someone no doubt had told the writer
about the passive voice, to avoid it
at all costs, like passion,
and the writer, feeling with a chill
how costly life can be
when we are passive (the lover’s last knock
unanswered at the door),
opted for this construction.
Having no hope, the wind didn’t move him.
The difference
is between mystery and confusion,
between the wind’s stillness and a soul
that won’t be opened.
And why not? Why can’t
the wind hope?
I don’t know. I just know
it matters. Everything matters. What is erasing
what. Who is bombing whom.
It took me all day to misunderstand correctly:
Forgetting their children, the conquerors
destroyed them.

β€”Joseph Fasano

I really don't think I should have to verify that I am human to look at the Cheesecake Factory menu online. Dogs and robots should be able to look at 57 types of cheesecakes too.

Realized my @titanbooks.bsky.social demons are finalists for both the Bram Stoker Awards and the Splatterpunk Awards. I'm proud of this book, both as a fiction collection and because of the personal connection readers have shared about, whether in their demon days or remembering them.

Thank you πŸ–€πŸ˜ˆ
