When you’ve been a writer for long enough, commas become more of a spiritual practice than a grammatical one.
Could I explain the actual rules of how they’re used? Absolutely not.
Do I rely on sensing a tremor in the force to tell me where to use them? Yes and this has never failed me even once.

When someone you love offers a bid for connection, you say yes every time. When someone sends you an article, a video, a funny post, it’s a bid for connection. They are trying to connect with you. When someone shares details about their day, their life, their thoughts, or their feelings with you, that is a bid for connection. They want to connect with you on a deeper level. They are trying to pull you into their world. If you love them, you say yes every time. Yes, even if the article they send is not particularly interesting to you. Yes, even if it means listening to them ramble about a game you don’t care about and think is stupid. Yes yes yes. And let’s hope they always say yes to your bids, too.

no matter how hard i try i will always be that little girl wondering why everyone is better friends with eachother than her and begging to be loved
in another life we’re all on the playground sitting by the fence in the grass together and we all have eachother. maybe not here but somewhere it wasn’t like this.

Just started reading Sherlock Holmes and all the adaptations are wrong. This man is a delight. He gets excited about hemoglobin and is ecstatic at the thought of Watson as a roommate. He purposefully forgets how the solar system works so he has more room in his brain for crime. He shows Watson the dirt stains on his trousers and he can tell what part of London they come from based on color and consistency. (As far as i can tell Watson didn’t ask, Sherlock just gets back from walks and tells Watson about the stains unprompted.) The text specifically says “Holmes was certainly not a difficult man to live with.” Why does every adaptation make him unpleasant and rude, he’s literally just eccentric. He’s such a goober, I love him.
Did an Instagram Q&A recently and got asked our biggest Holmes opinion and it was this—“HE’S A NICE MAN!” I yell for yet another day, banging my fists on the table in righteousness. He is just a weird little dude! He loves effusively and laughs a lot and gives science related high fives and it is the coolest part of him! Let Sherlock Holmes be on Mythbusters he would LOVE IT!!!!

“Ok, ma'am that’ll be $226.03.”
I take my wallet out of my pocket and unfold it. It is empty other than a single moth that lazily flies out. The moth lands on the tap point of the card reader. There’s a beat, and my payment is processed. The moth flies back into my wallet and I put it back in my pocket.

so if demons are sticklers for contracts, demand high payment for their services, and have firm/specific rules regarding summoning rituals (aka the hiring process & availability of their labor)—what i’m hearing is demons are fully unionized
[transcript:
#imagine what their strikes are like #it’d be especially funny if they did the version of striking where they do actually keep doing their duties #but they refuse to take payment #(i’ve heard of some transportation or medical workers doing this in the past but i’d have to look up sources idk)
#my point is you summon a demon and try to enter into a contract and they’re like #you can have it for free i’m just here so i don’t get bored during the strike #the boss doesn’t get his cut this way but i can still traverse the planes and fuck shit up
#and you’re like?? this has to be a trick?? #but then the walls start bleeding and satan starts writing angry strike busting threats on the walls ominously #and the demon is like just ignore that he can’t do shit without us it’s all talk let’s get back to the details#now who were you wanting to fuck over with my evil specialized skills that absolutely deserve fair compensation?
#and you’re just nervously glancing over to the increasingly furious scribblings from the king of hell on your wall while stuttering #uhhh this asshole jerry from work #and the demon is just like say no more! i gotchu #enjoy keeping your soul i’m sure it is so juicy and would be so fun for satan to torture for eternity oh well#sucks to be him he should really come back to negotiations then huh
