I am so heartsick and disgusted that white liberals in flyover keep repeating over and over that it will be better *for them* if my Chicano and Latino people in Los Angeles if we bleed out on American flags rather than Mexican flags. They want to dictate the terms of how we die if murdered!

... what we absolutely need is Dem politician who wake up every morning thinking 1) "How do I advance the good of the people" and 2) "How do I fuck Republicans so they don't win elections and stop me from advancing the good of the people?"

a major problem with bluesky is that i can offhandedly remark "i hate drawing, its too hard" and then a sweet old lady will gently encourage me and kindly point me to some useful resources to get started drawing and i dont know what to do with myself

I try to be a decent human! That said, I did recently write a long piece noting that it's not a great idea to put creative people on pedestals, including me, because we inevitably fall off of them. whatever.scalzi.com/2024/08/15/p...
