This. America's been a dystopia for a lot of people for a long, long time.

I wish these cats would stay in there and get in the way rather than clearing out and making room for Trump flunkies.

No, you just coughed coffee all over yourself.

School prayer was rightly removed in 1962, but we replaced it with nothing. We kept the nationalistic pledge to the flag, but dropped the ball on moral and character education. rwwgreene.substack.com/p/the-moral-... #Education #CharacterEducation #MoralEducation

This is a great bit of writing.

I'll be on a panel in a few weeks at the Salem Athenaeum with playwright Peter Sampieri about what writers need to know to keep safe and educated about generative AI and I just found out it will be hybrid! Interested? You can sign up below to attend: salemathenaeum.net/event/writer...

Remember, chums. Unless we get rid of this MAGA shit, Jan 6 will someday be a national holiday.

2025 was an art year I am proud of. Strong new work, group shows across the country, and a few pieces sold. As an activist artist, it's quite a time to be alive. Maybe next year, I can get back to spending more time with happier issues like the climate crisis. 🤞

Well, so far #2026 is shit.

I've always liked the odd years better than the even. May 2026 be an exception. Happy New Year!

There are many ways to use LLM that don't include generating text. It can check spelling, test how well the writing aligns with Saves the Cat beat structure, remind you what you named the dishwasher in Chapter Two, help you look for thought verbs and overuse of the words 'nodded' and 'shrugged'.

When I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong (and run a correction). I fucked up on my analysis of the Fairness Doctrine's roll in Journalism's decline. open.substack.com/pub/rwwgreen... #journalism #media #FairnessDocrine #MediaConsolidation #JournalismEducation

Ted Turner gave us the 24-hour news cycle. Reagan killed the Fairness Doctrine. Clinton finished the job. They destroyed journalism. Now I teach students how to build something better. open.substack.com/pub/rwwgreen... #journalism #media #mediacriticism #localjournalism #slowjournalism

Love that moment when the WIP starts talking to me, giving me whole scenes and dialogue rather than making me drag them out of my head. It happened this morning as I was taking out the trash. #writing

Survived the DOUBLE power wash and the colonoscopy. Mostly terrible experience, but it beats the hell out of an early death. Get one!

Followed a recommendation from @rwwgreene.bsky.social and read Luminous by Silvia Park. Lovely story weaving.

The fluffernutter is the perfect food for the week leading up to a colonoscopy. #provemewrong

I have a pretty-much full set of Robert B. Parker's (the real one, not the ghouls that followed) work. I've read each book at least a couple of times, and I don't foresee the need to read them again. So, why keep them? 💙📚

‘Thirteen was the year I discovered spite.’ Such incredible characterisation in just 73 words - wow! Sarah Chin in @xraylitmag.bsky.social 🎂 xraylitmag.com/ages-by-sara...

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...
