We brought Alfie’s brand new squeaky ball to the dog park and another dog STOLE it immediately and has been playing with it nonstop the absolute INJUSTICE
Update: I had to rip the squeaky ball out of another dog's mouth before we left the park! Alfie didn't want to play with it until I washed off the other dog's smug saliva, but once it was clean he squeaked it to his heart's content.

I IS MODEL
This coat was custom-made for Alfie by the same woman who made Zia’s winter coat ten years ago, my friend & former neighbor Gini of Gini’s Greyhound Fashions. Sadly, she is closing up her shop, so I feel very lucky to have snuck this order in under the wire. 💖

Look, I love Rent with the intensity of a small town queer teen in the 90s, but it is the pinnacle of self-righteous white person 90s multiculturalism & therefore problematic as hell.
90s white person multiculturalism: "I don't see race!" Through the lens of 2019, it is clear that a) only a white person can claim not to see race, & b) not seeing race means demanding that everyone conform to your standards of whiteness, which c) is a gross form of erasure
...but in the 90s, it was d) considered to be Peak Enlightenment by white people, including Jonathan Larson, who wrote Rent as All White People But Some of Them Happen to Be Black (which again is basically how we white folks did multiculturalism in the 90s).

1) I often hear from players, "Why are bosses just scaled up versions of existing enemies?"

This is a tale about #gamedev that's pretty common among most studios. Stay a while and listen...

[thread]
2) You're a designer and just started early design work on the next project. You're in a meeting talking about what the next boss will/should be.

The lead says, "We have 6 months from start to launch, which means in reality, we have a lot less time."
3) You cheerfully suggest that the boss be a brand new, giant squirrel-eagle cyborg that flies around the raid breathing fire. Immediately, the entire staff of animators, tech artists, FX artists all look at each other and cringe.

"What?" you ask.

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

I am deeply disturbed by #AlderHey and #AlfieEvans case. What this tragic case desperately needs is less opinions and more facts. /thread

Alfie was born to young parents aged 18 & 19 in May 2016, who from the court accounts delivered a happy healthy baby and coped extremely well. /1

OKAY Y'ALL.

IT'S TIME.

MY MOMENT HAS COME.

The first #SexyHistory miniseries IS UPON US.
For the month of February, I'm going to (sexily) be breaking down the Wars of the Roses. This is some fairly complex sh*t, and everyone has the same damn name, so this will definitely be an exercise in HITTING THE HIGH NOTES.
If you want to get more in depth with all this, I WILL PROVIDE A READING LIST at the end, but for now, just GO WITH IT, HOLD MY HAND, LET ME WHISK YOU O'ER HISTORY GENTLY.
