I let myself run almost entirely out of Friend of Garak t-shirts! 😱 BUT! My restock order from the print shop is on its way to me right now. If you'd like to place an order, I expect to be able to ship on Monday. www.willburrows.art/shop

We were blessed to have @jassilvera.bsky.social on, and she's brilliant and you should buy all her books!

More "treadmill thoughts" but remember when Target pulled back their Pride merch because of backlash? It's fine to shop there less or not at all, but we also have to be loud about doing so, calling them out, on social media and sending them emails. (No threats.) www.npr.org/2024/05/15/1...

Ok #booksky, let’s talk. 👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books. 👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

You won't be any better at fighting what's coming if you burn yourself out and spend all your time feeling bleak and hopeless, and the people telling you that it's all despair now probably don't have anyone's best interest at heart.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Today and in the coming days, remember

Saying goodbye to Dr. King. I climbed a pole for a better view. Remember that truth and light can't die. It lives inside y'all, and they can't take it away.

Animal handling crit fail.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Bless this man

I read the article I knew would trigger me & that's okay. I will say this only so I can move on. I knew he was after reading Snow Glass Apples. It sent me into a state. I had multiple nightmares about him being a sexual predator then. I grieved as a reader & did my best to separate art from artist.

Really looking forward to getting into this. I wish Trixie & Katya didn't hate needs so much. I think they would have a lot of fun with the format.

NEW: Meta has quietly dismantled the system that prevented misinformation from spreading in the United States. Machine-learning classifiers that once identified viral hoaxes and limited their reach have now been switched off, Platformer has learned www.platformer.news/meta-ends-mi...

Actual pro tip: the best way to break into any creative profession is by helping to support and advance other creators. Your peers are not your adversaries. They are your support group.

🔥 America has ~1 million firefighters. 🚨 65% of them volunteer their time. If we spent just 1/10 of the U.S. defense budget, we could: ⚡️ Create a mega fire brigade. 👩‍🚒 Hire 895,000 NEW full-time firefighters. 💰 Pay them $100,000 a year. Instead of invading Greenland we could protect Americans. 🔥

You're doing great. Hang in there.

Hey LA folks, a great place for every house furnishing you need, right down to silverware. #LAFires

Unsolicited writing advice, #17171617: Don't just write. Read books. Watch films. Look at paintings and sculpture. Play games. Go to plays. Listen to music. Think about how these things make you feel. Making art is a two-way stream. To make art, you have to consume art.

Now that it is tax season I remind everyone: DO NOT USE TURBOTAX. THEY WERE REMOVED FROM THE IRS FREE FILE SYSTEM AND ARE NOT BOUND TO THOSE RULES. Instead, if you make $84k or less a year, use any of the IRS Free File options found here: www.irs.gov/filing/irs-f...

Just the women?

And… I'm live—on #Twitch, that is—and looking at Snow Plowing Simulator and then maybe a little co-working/co-existing while we chat and I try to get some things done. (Both online and off *stares at laundry*…) twitch.tv/urbanbohemian 💖

I can't believe they recorded this while fleeing the fires. So glad they're safe, though. Imagine having a best friend who will drive to your house when LA is on fire. youtu.be/psWXvZnBwzY?...
