Patrick Bex writes poetry about navigating life as an #aroace - aromantic and asexual. Check out his guest post about this topic on my blog, just released! @fluentlyaspec.bsky.social lizaachilles.com/2025/02/24/n...

I'm genuinely disturbed by this bio. The article was labeled "AI generated." But an AI-generated article is, by definition, not honest, genuine, or thoroughly researched. (The bad grammar/syntax also genuinely disturbs me, but that's nothing new....) #ai #writing #writers

I accidentally ran across this old blog post about Two Novembers being rejected many times. (It's also about Wisconsin!) Definitely one to look back on and smile. ☺️ lizaachilles.com/2020/09/07/d... #writers #wisconsin #rejection

Small victories. Cooking up some vegetables. Cleaning the bathrooms. Writing a blog post satirizing the Trump administration's actions. Every little active, productive thing you can do is better than succumbing to depression. #resist #mentalhealth #writing #fightback #blackdog

A little piece of satire. This is for federal employees, anyone who knows a federal employee, and anyone who's heard the news about some unusual emails received over the past week or so.... lizaachilles.com/2025/02/03/t... #resist

Two paths diverged in the woods and America took the psychopath.

Leaving aside all politics - I love DC. It's my beloved chosen home. So many changes are being made and I worry about the people and economy. Can we keep up with the changes without a local depression? Sending everyone best wishes as we navigate these times of upheaval. #washingtondc #ilovedc
