Lots of things that seem harmless are actually biphobic and really damaging.

For example:
- asking us which side we would pick if we *had* to choose
- telling us that to publish our novel, we have to finish writing it first
- allowing the weather outside to reach -7 degrees

if you think a Campari Spritz is superior to an Aperol Spritz, I cannot trust you

@robinsonishyde as a someone who lives in Colorado, I have been having a lot of make it make sense moments about the where and the why of where the water's going

[Meghan @yourdailymeg]

@ViannaWrites calling it a 1900s show really puts it into perspective lmao

[Meghan @yourdailymeg]

@ViannaWrites @MadebyNatalia choosing to be closer to the ground than to god = 🙅‍♀️

[Meghan @yourdailymeg]

@ViannaWrites I *love* this song!! I agree, it should have had a bigger moment than just the credits. Also, v curious about all those [redacted]s now👀

[Meghan @yourdailymeg]

@Nuttynicole11 ok, but I've said "yes" with uncertainty so many times in my life, this is highly relatable content

[Meghan @yourdailymeg]

@Nuttynicole11 I always just like, "wow, I love my characters 😍" which I do, but the problem is I'm usually rereading something I need to rewrite because I changed an Important Plot Point™️ in Act I so everything these noodle heads are doing in Act II that I'm 😍 over is now nonsense.

@ViannaWrites Whatever brush you used to make the hanging plants is awesome! The texture looks great and that little guy's face is so sweet 🥹

@Nuttynicole11 forever in a state of missing italy

(also, cait sent me photos of the trip last week and we were like, how? has it been?? nine years???)

[Meghan @yourdailymeg]

@ViannaWrites The update I was hoping for, thank you for sharing!!

[Meghan @yourdailymeg]

@Nuttynicole11 I’m hoping for that, too!!

I know there's a lot going on rn (politically, socially, economically, and basically any other -ly) and this is just one thing in a long list, but I'm heartsick over this Iowa 6-week ban.
I'm moving in less than a month, but not everyone wants to or can.

[Chloe Angyal @ChloeAngyal]

Iowa's abortion ban, signed an hour ago, is now in effect. Earliest we'll hear about an injunction is next week.

the adaptation I've been waiting for ever since I read this book in 2019 😍

[Victor LaValle @victorlavalle]

We’ll, it’s official now.

THE CHANGELING premieres on Apple TV+ on September 8.

If you’ve read the book, you know what’s about to happen on this subway car.

I’m telling you folks, this show is going to be amazing.

[Meghan @yourdailymeg]

@victorlavalle This is so exciting! The Changeling is one of those books that I think about all the time even years after reading it for the first time, can't wait to see it play out on the screen!

My 1st IUD placement was literally text book: "you'll feel a pinch then some light cramping." I drove to Publix and bought ice cream right after.
My 2nd placement, I nearly passed out on the table. Had to wait a full 30 minutes before I could drive home and was in pain for days.

[La Doctora Jones MD @ladoctorajones]

Studies: “Women don’t need pain control for IUD insertion.”

Women: “This is very painful. We do in fact need pain control.”

OBGYN: “But the studies…”

to anyone who saw me fully crying at the stoplight on burlington and linn, first of all, no you didn't
and second of all, I was fully unprepared to hear Never Grow Up (TV) for the first time at my big age of 29 with two nieces and all my baby siblings grown up ok??

[Meghan @yourdailymeg]

@ViannaWrites congrats on finishing the draft!! (I voted portal fantasy because that was one of my fav genres as a kiddo and I think the world deserves more of them (from authors who aren't all old white men))

[Meghan @yourdailymeg]

after procrasticleaning all evening, I finally sprinted for about 1.5 hours.
results:
✅ rewrote one (1) scene that I am v proud of
✅ fixed the interpersonal dynamic between my MC and her sister and in doing so
✅ introduced a bunch of plot holes that I now have to fix
