Godzilla vs Walter White

Dust off the disused detritus of our decomposing diorama. Wake the sleeping giants with a fire to their feet. It’s time to fly. There are answers in the sky. Do not fasten your seatbelt.

It is nearly impossible for a novel released today to make a noticeable impact on pop culture without having a movie attached. Even major works that sell millions of copies remain largely invisible to the press and the public until there’s a movie in the works.

IDEA FOR PUBLISHERS:

Pretend there...

ESL: English as a Shitty Language

Daniel Webster: Sir? I seem to have spilled ink on the list of adjectives. I can’t read the one that means “capable of meeting financial obligations.”

The English Language: I don’t remember what that one was. Just pick something. How about “solvent”?

Webster: You already used that. It a chemistry noun that means “a substance capable of dissolving another substance.”

English: Fuck it, use it again.

Webster: But it has a completely separate meaning unrelated to finances, and it's a noun...

English: Who gives a shit? I'll call it…a homonym. Words that are spelled and pronounced the same but mean completely different things.

Webster: But sir, there are plenty of available combinations of sounds and letters...surely you could afford to give each concept its own word?

English: Nah. I'm crazy. It's my thing; people like it. Use solvent.

Webster: But sir--

English: Who's gonna fuck with me on this, Webster? I'm the English fucking language! They're speaking me all over the world! I do what I WANT!

Webster: I kind of hate you...

English: Well, you're supposed to.

All America’s crimes in the name of security stem from the belief that our lives are very, very important and must be protected at all costs. This is a narcissistic delusion. Our lives are important, but sometimes bad things are going to happen and some of us are going to die, and this is not a...

yonohikari asked:

Um hello, I’ve started a book recently and I was wondering if you could give me one good tip about writing a book because I’m pretty much blind. Thanks

I’m at a geek culture convention called Fandom Con. Everywhere I look there are superheroes, cartoon characters, and Doctor Whos. It’s basically like walking around inside Tumblr.

I will never understand people who say they wouldn’t want to live forever. If you don’t want to be alive in 500 years, why do you want to be alive now? Where exactly is this line that you’re drawing? It’s a simple question: is life worth living or isn’t it? And if it is, why would you assume it...

Three men in this coffee shop are working quietly on their laptops. One woman is reading a book. Two other women are arguing the merits of Hogwarts’ national defense policies in loud, shrill, very serious tones like they’re on stage at a presidential debate. Their voices are the only sound in this coffee shop.

Me on Saturday nights.

Beyonce makes an album no one was anticipating and releases it with no promotion and it’s “brilliant marketing” but when I do it it’s just “being a broke musician no one cares about.”

Don’t go grocery shopping when you’re hungry but also not when you’re tired because you’ll just drift around and stare at bread for 45 minutes

Coffee Shop Writers

The weird solitude of coffee shop writers is most apparent in the shops that are open late, because there is no readily recognizable premise for us to be here. No one is getting their morning latte and pastry, no one is having a business lunch. It’s dark out, and we’re all here with our laptops and textbooks while everyone else is home for just one reason: we have lonely work to do and it’s a little less lonely when we do it in the same room.
