I'm really grateful for the friendships that can pick up where they left off because all parties have invested enough that they can just reap the dividends when life calls for it.

On Threads, I got called an "anti-Christian bigot" in response to this. But it's only "anti-Christian" if you believe being anti-LGBT is *necessary* to Christianity. But *that* is itself condescending towards Christianity, for many correctly view their faith as supporting LGBT rights and acceptance.

PSA: the CDC has a program that pays for your COVID vaccine if your insurer won't. The guy at CVS told me that my insurer had not added the new vaccine to its formulary yet, so I'd need to pay $190. I told him about this program, showed him the website, and paid nothing. 🤗

This is a great event and a lot of fun. I participated in it last year and found my agent through it. #bvm #writingcommunity

"Introduce yourself in three bullet points." * My core values are compassion and logic. * I recognize the humanity of each homo sapiens sapiens individual, regardless of identities or politics. * I think, write, and read.

A RELATIONSHIP, IN THREE SILENCES The peaceful quiet silence of blissful calm The heavy oppressive silence of mute anger and despair The yawning empty silence of a vacuum missing what once filled its void 🖤✏️

In dignity In peace May I go Head high Shoulders wide To make up for the lows With a laugh With a cry No more weary eyes In dignity In peace I shall go If not north Then maybe east Or make the best of least Compass rose 'Bove written stone Still enough to call a home In dignity In peace I go 🖤✏️

"I could offer a kind of equation for leftists and liberals crossing over to the neofascist and authoritarian right that goes something like: narcissism (grandiosity) + social media addiction + midlife crisis ÷ public shaming = rightwing meltdown. And there would be some truth to that bit of math."

Well, time for my first thread here on BlueSky, and I'm pissed off. I've been catching up on the situation with F&SF and Sheree Thomas. I'm slow because I'm not on FB anymore, where apparently the bulk of the convo is happening, and I'm barely on Twitter. Anyway.
