@playinglesshurt I remember the sound it made on the blackboard. Harrowing.

@StevenIsserlis He was trained in the bel canto technique. That’s why he sounded so good for so long.

Which is greater: Bill Maher’s arrogance or his willful stupidity? Tossup.

I had 3-4 weeks off Twitter with autistic burnout recently & my engagement is right down (also due to standing up to a vile group of trolls on here-they reported me lots, restricting my reach). If you see this photo it would be so ace if you could RT it or drop me a quick hello if you have a moment, both of which help an account get back on track. I also hope these little violas ping some floral dopamine in your meat computer & give you a small lift 🌿

@ae_stallings Lolla-Lee-Lou!

Trump’s extended posting spree yesterday suggests that he’s literally *psychotic.*

But the press is too terrified or timid to report that.

Some professional journalists with laptops and cameras need to start doing the job of reporting on the disintegrating mental health of the man with control of the planet’s second-largest arsenal of nuclear weapons.

It should be the most important news story in the world today.

@JoyceCarolOates Now I’m trying to remember the last time I got a love letter…

[Marcia Menter @MenterMarcia]

@JoyceCarolOates I received dozens and dozens of these scam emails targeting my extremely niche-y book. Now I’m getting even wackier ones offering “capitalization”. Delete, delete, delete.
(Do you remember the labels on Dr Bronner’s Pepeppermint soap? “Dilute, dilute, dilute!”)

@DanielGalef @iBrowsie Stalagmites have a "g" for "ground." Stalactites have a "c" for "ceiling."
