So what? The literary world is always in the first detonation blast zone. Run towards the searing light. You don't want to live in the world without the arts. Become a writer.

I write, I paint, I sculpt, I sing, I used to dance and act too. A world without art would actually kill me. The creation of art is one of the most redeeming things about humanity.
"Autocratic regimes view art and creative expression as a threat to their control because they can challenge the status quo, spark dissent, offer alternative narratives. To maintain power, autocrats try to suppress or erase art that opposes their agenda while promoting art that reinforces it." AI
We are neglecting liberal propaganda muscle. Protest music. Beyond protest music. Calls to arms pouring out of every radio.
The push to STEM at the cost of the Humanities undercut our Survival, OBAMA, because that is where the survival guides to the Apocalypse are! Everything else just Science.
I'm sorry to say that even STEM is getting hit out here. The only thing valued in the current admin are things that can be exploited for the sake of capitalism. That also includes tons of basic research that doesn't result in lucrative tech/pharma patents.
You ever heard of Literary Magazines? They never die, you can't kill them. We will be here with the cockroaches. Run towards the light many times more blinding than the midday sun and write your fucking book
I feel obligated to say that while I did consume such things in my youth, I hope y'all find a better way.
I'm fairly sure it's what robbed my last 18 yrs of health from me with an underlying undiagnosable condition where I'm basically dying incredibly painfully & slowly from my GI issues. Just FYI.🙏
I am sorry to hear that you’re dealing with such an agonizing and terrible condition now. Alcohol is insidious, as fun as it can be at times. “Trying to think of all the good times that I’ve wasted having good times…”
the first time they released Baja blast in cans/bottles I spent most of that summer drunk on a mix of that+malibu black, sitting on my buddy’s back porch. It’s a great mixer lol
They even canceled the paris review's grant money even though they were invented by the CIA as an op to infiltrate the arts. They're going to have to dip into their offshore $9 million. We're all hurting around here.
I have to say that being on Bluesky and following so many writers, and kinds of writers, has made me feel like my writing could be valid, too. I haven't felt that way since I was about 22. ❤️❤️❤️
Ironically I wrote a book that talks about discovering an illegal slave system and fighting an oligarchic society from the inside out before any of this even happened. 💀 I didn't realize I was writing—at least in part—a prophecy.

Bad math ends civilizations.
Technology
Engineering
Art
Mathematics
Art is added to enhance creativity.

When the blast comes,
let our language be the wreckage they can’t explain away.
Write like we’re recording the impact in real time.

A procrastinator as well, but never mind that...
Just need to write that shit Down.
Let it burn—we’ll write through the fallout. The blast zone’s where the best stories start. BYOP 🖊️
I saw: "Taco Bell" and "Blast Zone"
I'm literally 12...
