Remember: It ys okaye to be lonelye. It ys okaye to feel lost. It ys okaye to be sad. It ys okaye yf nobody ys arounde. It ys okaye to have no plannes or just small plannes. It ys okaye to have big plannes that seem exhausting. It ys okaye to be a mess. Take care of thyself. Thou art amazinge.

Ther ys no neede to ban bookes when you kan defund educacioun and promote easy-fix consumerist tech tools to make sure young people will have a much harder tyme learninge how to become confident, actyve, and critical readeres.

I am back on my bullshit again.

I'm currently working on a novel and at the end of an average day, I'm wiped out. The sheer amount of analysis, synthesis, making of connections, layering of prose, deepening of characterization, supplemental research... all the mental work is intense and exhilarating. Which is just to say, fuck AI.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

I don't know what to say about this garbage vote to criminalize gender affirming care btw. Been trying to find the words. I hear so many friends in sadness and fear today but of what use is "I hear you"? Not much I fear. To live through this moment sucks ass (negative). We must find a way through
