A guy showed up in my discover feed with dogwater takes on how the LA protestors ought to change. Ex: Their flags make their fight for survival unpalatable to mildly racist middle-class folks. Not sure what this guy's deal was, I clicked on his bio. "Staff writer at The Atlantic." Mystery solved.

You know that feeling when you've been writing pretty consistently your whole life, then burn out and stop writing for like six months, which causes you to believe that you no longer count as a writer, and now saying "I'm a writer" makes you feel like a liar and a fraud? ...oh. That's just me, huh?

Editing scientific papers is fascinating and educational, but it gets SUPER boring after a while. What I wouldn't do for a paying fiction project about now.

Movie you’ve seen more than six times, no Star Wars or Trek or LOTR. I will never stop extolling the virtues of this movie.

In the #nanowrimo farewell video, Kilby says that donations through the website have been shut down now that Nano is dissolving. As usual, Kilby is full of shit. The site let me get all the way to entering my CC number, where I decided I didn't want to spend $5 to go from 95% sure to 100% sure.

After thinking super hard about this, I've decided that JKR thinks the ace community are YET MORE "secretly straight men lying about their sexuality to sneak into women's spaces and commit rape." The "-phobic" suffix has never in history been more aptly applied any other human's thought process.

#Gumroad users: The CEO of Gumroad is now working for #DOGE (for free, on the backs of creatives who use his platform). He's fired all of his staff and replaced them with AI, and has said that's also what he wants to do at the VA, which he's helping to dismantle right now.

This is somehow even WORSE than the chart I used on a joke election poster during my LARP character's campaign for the in-game town mayor position.

My first blog post with Rogue Writers is out now! This post discusses those omnipresent "10 tips to improve your writing by a billion percent" lists. Using the one I've been most recently exposed to as a typical example, I break it down point-by-point and explain why most of it is nonsense.

In the early years I loved the atmosphere of #NaNoWriMo and it helped me get a lot of writing done, but given what it turned into over the last few years, I can't say I feel any particular sadness over its demise.

Well, it finally happened. The #NaNoWriMo organization is being formally shut down, as per a mass email from Executive Director and professional org-demolisher Kim "Kilby Blades" Palacios. And, BONUS!, they linked a 30min video about how it's everyone else's fault. The back half is some prime salt.

Ok, so, I originally made this account for author/editor things and to sort of try to brand. My brand has apparently become "Really, really angry about the state of the USA right now." Look, I had no idea all this was going to happen, or that it would intersect with all of my most important values.

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...
