The Palestinians and their supporters didn't create our current predicament. It's a convenient, counterproductive deflection to lay the blame at their feet, and given the degree of destruction and suffering they've endured, it's also sadistic.

WRITING TIP: if you get stuck, try making the font really really big. This will remind you of being a baby, when you only knew twelve words and didn't know about death

1. Here are some of my thoughts on the news by Erin Reed that some hospitals are denying new minor patients for gender affirming care: Hospitals that obey in advance to illegal executive orders can and should be targeted for protest actions by trans activists groups. bsky.app/profile/erin...

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it. It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

Sitting down & doing it is the answer to be able to do a lot of things & it’s the same with writer’s block. Writer’s block is just writers romanticizing not sitting down & doing it. If you sit down & do it, it will happen. My mentor taught me writer’s block does not exist & we make ourselves write.

Friday Writer Thoughts: Don't let others dictate what you should, or should not, be writing about. Don't chase trends. Write what inspires you. Remember that comparison is the thief of joy. Remember that your journey is yours alone and no one else's.

I used to think the hardest part of being a writer was figuring out the first draft. Turns out it's actually explaining to your family members why they can't read your book.

So, uh… I wrote about Taash being non-binary and how I feel we need to start establishing a difference between “harmful” and “not how I’d have done it”. This was a hard story to write, tbh, and I remain anxious about how it’s gonna play. www.polygon.com/opinion/4931...

It just occurred to me that one of the reasons I will never reach the bottom of my TBR pile is that every book worth reading leads to other books. Another is that so many friends are writers. I'm willing to live with both of those realities
