Sigh. I am a slow writer. I draft messy. It takes me a long time, multiple drafts, and a lot of seeing what sticks to carve the story out of the mess. I can outline, do character studies, apply structure, but it doesn’t change how my brain works in the end. #writingCommunity #Romancelandia

I’d like to state for the record that I am taking down my fancy artificial Christmas tree full of vintage and niche glass ornaments against my will. My family is apparently freaked out by it in February 🙄🎄

9:40pm. The pizzas are out of the oven and the last half season of Cobra Kai is on the TV. The horrors out there are fresh, but just for now, I have my humans at home, we have a good dinner and some truly unhinged content to watch

Y'all gotta get comfortable talking about pornography and defending its right to exist and for people to look at it, even if you don't (but especially if you DO).

My dropped my dog off at a new daycare today. Working from home without him is peaceful but hollow. I am reasonably confident he doesn’t miss me at all, especially since they asked me to pack him a snack, so I sent him with his favorite: large diced English cucumbers

Apparently Lucy Parker’s “aloof, arrogant, vain, and emotionally closed-off, but secretly gentle and generous when he falls relentlessly and unexpectedly in love” hero-type is, in fact, a whole catnip for me. The voice-acting was an absolute delight, to boot. #Romancelandia

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing? DON'T DO IT. If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT. Document, document, document. Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Mr Rogers always said, to find hope in despair, look for the helpers. But I think it's important to do more than just look for them. Ask them how you can help. Learn from them. Support them. Become one. Going to be a lot of grassroots community building. Look to them for the blueprints of help.

No writer is a failure until they are dead. Full stop. A career in writing is built over decades. It's built like a house, brick by brick, book by book. Not published yet? Emphasis on YET. Book not selling? It's not selling YET. You're only done when you quit. And I don't think you're ready to quit

I don't care if Dems are in the minority. I still want them delaying shit with the energy of an ungovernable toddler scattering Legos to be stepped on, covering everything in peanut butter, screaming for no reason, putting gum in people's hair, and drawing on the walls.

honestly, the first democrat who gets arrested because they threw their bodies on the gears of this nonsense is going to get so many donations you'd think they'd be doing it for that reason if nothing else. where is your mercenary self interest???

I'm not even joking with this, who do I call to demand they start proceedings for impeachment? He has allowed unelected civilians access to information including one with ties to hostile foreign governments. We demand the IMMEDIATE dissolution of this authoritarian regime.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Do not give into ecofascism. "The Earth would be better off without us, humanity is a virus" etc. is just a Granola version of "Billions must die." All around the world there are communities who know how to coexist with the natural world and even HELP it. Once more: do not give into ecofascism.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Don't be afraid to admit when you're wrong. A sincere "my bad" or "I hadn't considered that" (and a swift course correction) will preserve all kinds of relationships, both personal and professional, and preserve your dignity as well.

just stumbled on a real jaw-dropper of a line in an essay -- “The corollary of being interested in a great range of things is to have sympathy with a great range of outlooks” -- and that, my friends, is why reading is so important.
