Happy Birthday, Jilli!!!
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Tom, I'm sorry things are so awful right now. I hope those claws loosen a little soon.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
One author pulls a Charlie Sheen with a letter to Simon and Schuester. I feel so sorry for his agent right now.
I sent an e to my agent swearing an oath that I would never do that.
As an aside, I'm kind of pissed that S&S gave such a supremely shitty writer a 65k advance.
My MONEY BACK GUARANTEE advice was IGNORED! I'm an ARTIST, don't you see? An ARTIST/BUSINESSMAN!

I kind of want to tell him that giving dudes like him 65K advances is actually what is killing publishing.

Huh. I could write a funny book about that. Would you buy it? "How to Stop Worrying and Learn to Love the Supernova...Because You're Fucked Anyway?
There's a book by an astronomer called Death from the Skies that deals with all of that.
I've been proofreading disaster proposals (earthquakes and tsunamis) this week, so I'm actually kind of hopeful and in awe of my scientists. Tsunami alert systems. Excellent.

Because books.
I wish I could figure out what crazy!author's book was actually supposed to be about.

Himself. It's his favorite subject, and would be yours, too, if you weren't actually part of the problem. (The problem being people who don't think he should be everyone's favorite subject.)
