the new superboy design for MAWS is so cute!! here’s some #timkon to go. i imagine tim offering a joyride in a fun car instead of flying for once and conner going along bc he just wants to hang. #superboy #robin

there’s a writer in my workshop who always points to anything resembling a sex scene and suggests there should be more fluids and depravity and she’s always correct
as a writer, i cannot tell you enough how important it is to have friends who will tell you to Cross The Line and more freak shit into your story

bookbinders are either wizened librarians that remember harvesting their own wheat for glue or young queers selling etsy bindings of 100k AO3 fanfics bearing kinks hitherto unknown to humankind
Birders (in my experience) are generally either boomer retirees or young queer people. Are there other hobbies that have these generational dynamics

origin story for a new batman villain
Last weekend — for the first time in the puzzle’s 84-year history — ‘The New York Times Magazine’ printed an unsolvable crossword. Clues didn’t align with their corresponding answers or were missing altogether. The grid was correct online, but for print-magazine solvers, the damage to their weekends, and esteem, had already been done. Some solvers who complete the Sunday puzzle in the print magazine (often with pen) complained on crossword forums and social media, saying they were “nearly in tears,” some with fears of “sudden onset dementia” or, worse yet, ineptitude. When Mike McFadden, in New Jersey, couldn’t crack it, he thought, “something was wrong with me. I didn’t think that they would have an error.” It nagged at him all day. For others, the error triggered an existential crisis. “We trust that it’s always going to be something that at least somebody can figure out,” Irene Papoulis, a former writing instructor at Trinity College, said. “The world is making less and less sense. So it’s like, ‘The crossword puzzle? Not you, too!’” Several people said they felt robbed of a sacred morning routine. “Maybe I’m overreacting,” McFadden said. “But it ruined the best hour of my week.” Maggie Duffy reports on the crisis in the crossword community after an erroneous grid was published in the ‘Times’: nymag.visitlink.me/dVShF6

the straightest question you can ask about heated rivalry isn't "why are women enjoying this", it's "why is a smoothie bartender that jacked"

tfw when you as a chronically online person need to explain mise en place of other memes first just so someone free and unencumbered by the internet can begin to understand the thing i actually wanna talk about 😩

I have less "artsy" glasses for the doctor but what's disturbed me lately is that ever since i got more visibly muscular, doctors trust me way more. i also already had an avg body size before, the treatment gets so, so much worse if you're fat
Reddit is so horrifying bc you can go to a sub for people with health problems and see tons of people desperate for help, strategizing on how to be taken seriously, and then you go to a doctor sub and it's full of professionals talking about hysterical women and blue hair.
