- Daily "I am alive and well but utterly uninterested in social media at present" post. Love to all. ❤️
- Got in my treadmill time AND my word count today! 💪
- “You want me to rat on my mole? Like a snake?” 😂 #PokerFace
- Uh guys, Mass Effect Legendary Edition (three entire games, some of the best ever made, remastered etc.) is currently SIX DOLLARS. This is not a drill.
- Should I choose to accept it...
- Reposted by Mishell BakerHey! If you didn't know, Valve takes 30% of every game sale indies make (they actually take less for AAA studios, WTF). The Epic Games Store takes 12% (less than half!) normally, and has announced they are going to be taking 0% on the first million (ha ha), then back to the regular 12%. Amazing.

- Thread. Functioning democracy requires educated citizens. They gut education to make democracy untenable. They want full control by rich white men, not the combined voices of everyone in America. They must "prove" anyone not rich/white is inferior by rigging the system.

- Taking only this out of that entire article is pure ragebait. Please read the entire article, which contains: 1) A direct apology for using one (1) Chat GPT query and an explanation of why it was wrong 2) Explanations of how this lone query never got to have any impact on selection and will not.
- I can't stress enough how much this kind of reply means to me, because the very thing that has kept those tumors stable is the thing that is making me miserable today and will again tomorrow. It's vital to know that pushing through this every 14 days matters to more than just me.
- You really don't want that. The only reason any pictures are taken of me these days are to see if my doctor thinks I should get that checked out.
- I was in that play. :) (Cecily) Good times.
- I am so grateful for Mekka saying this. (Also for so much else he says). I was also guilty of only sharing my feelings with One Special Person for most of my life. Lost all of those people. No one can be that. Diversity is not just for the workplace. Any All-Eggs Basket gonna break.
- Reposted by Mishell BakerIf you want to skip to the conclusion, here it is: Yes as a man, you should definitely talk about your feelings. But talk about them with *more than one person.* Talk with a combination of your friends, family (if they're supportive), and professionals (therapy).
- The only correct way to do an Elden Ring movie if you want to capture the true vibe of the game is to have a character in the film turn directly to camera to tell you how worthless and disgusting you, the viewer, are - then come through the screen every few minutes to kill whoever's still watching.
- Reposted by Mishell BakerFrom yesterday, the crazy thing about this time of year is how so many flowers just appear out of nowhere. Now that I’ve trained myself to be aware of them, I could swear these hadn’t been there the day before! #BloomScrolling #Flower #Photography
- Felt like staying in my Fortress of Solitude all day on the couch, but received a semi-panicked DM from my younger girl: first period. Good reason to move my body. Told her she handled it perfectly, advised about cold water for bloodstains. She said, "This is just good advice generally." 😈
- Latest scan still looks "very stable." Tumors remain present, but look exactly the same as they did a year ago, pretty much. This is best case scenario for me. I expect to be here through the end of the year unless something drastically changes, and there's no obvious reason for it to.
- "Coffee has good properties!" "Wine has good properties!" "Chocolate has good properties!" Thousands of iterations, clicks and reposts, roars of vindication and rage that science is covering this up "Eating vegetables can literally save your life!" Dies in darkness

- When a study says "coffee is good" please read "caffeine + antioxidants are good" and "Tea probably does the same without wrecking your breath and your teeth, but we know we get more clicks if you feel vindicated for being addicted to coffee" I said it but don't wanna fight with coffee addicts, so.
- I have a deep enjoyment of delicate, subtle, classy things, which I got from my father. I have a deep love for salt-of-the earth, simple, basic things that I got from my mother. Glad for both. Sad for those who, like my parents, tend to love one and feel contempt for the other.
- Reposted by Mishell BakerI went to see the Ġgantija temples which I was excited about because they're pretty much the oldest buildings in the world that are still sort of upright, older than the pyramids at Giza, older than writing, older than the wheel.
- I love this so much, because I see so many writers holding themselves up as brave world-changers and at the same time expressing contempt for popular fiction. The more people read you, the more change you can make. Readers are the real potential agents of change. You're just giving them a push.
