18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

Checked into my hotel room. It has workout equipment in it--resistance bands, balance ball, yoga mat, clorox wipes. It's kinda cool. But, like, I'm glad I carry a travel bottle of Febreeze with me.

The U.S. government has put up a submission form for reporting schools who teach kids about “DEI.” It accepts file uploads. Internet, you know what to do enddei.ed.gov

Since I'm Meemaw-aged, I think I'm qualified to offer this bit of advice: Do what you want. Chase joy. Revel in living rent-free in the heads of the judgmental. Seriously, fuck 'em.

I'm a product of acid rain and smog in my ancient-in-the-80s social studies books, stupid and illogical gender roles, a nomadic life, and adventures in the woods in Georgia and Tennessee, and that shows in frequent intersectional justice themes. #horrorwriterschat

Probably Kristi DeMeester or Gwendokyn Kiste. Both for the same reason: I want to nom on their brainmeats for a bit and play in some feminist themes with a few callbacks to the 80s. #horrorwriterschat

I'm KL. I write short stories and poetry, and I've been casually hammering at horror stories for a long time. The horror poetry has only been going on for a few years. #horrorwriterschat

The husband just asked me about a complication with his database, and it spawned a whole-ass conversation that made me feel smart for a whole two seconds. Now I want to dive deep on document databases. Alas. No time for love, Dr Jones.

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...

This week, I scrapped a story and started rewriting it from scratch. Tonight, I busted out 3k words to finish it. I think this rendition doesn't suck, which means it's actually liver-flavored fermented ass, and I'll hear all about it when it goes up for workshopping. Huzzah.

basically, i see the literature of unsettlement as three (often overlapping) streams: 1) the thanatotic (horror+) 2) the erotic (romance and erotica+) 3) the comedic (comedy+) . all three exist to unsettle in particular ways even though the variances of said unsettlement may be...

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Quick tip on baking without paying for eggs: aquafaba. It's the liquid you get from a can of beans, and it can replace eggs as binders. I've also made meringues from them, and they're fantastic. You can make your own by cooking dried beans. loveisinmytummy.com/2017/05/home...
