EVERYONE SHUT UP

I love reading for our awards, because the amount of talent in our flash community is absolutely bonkers. Congrats to everyone on the long list! ✨

Now is a great time to brush up on scapegoat and cult abuse. Also to actually understand how to deal with surveillance on social levels

*cracks knuckles, sighs, remembers that 2027 is coming* ... so do you guys want to submit an awp panel 🙃

took a hike, found a cool flower 💗

I really love people, but sometimes, I REALLY DO NOT, you know?

stopped home quick in between things and found my dog deeply staring at himself in the mirror, feel like I walked in on something?!

happy new moon / saturday night, nerds ☺️ 🌗🖤

my local dispensary is selling real housewives of rhode island merchandise, did not see this crossover coming

punks are the best. I was on the west side in Providence today collecting signatures for activist shit, and this guy in a spiked jacket sprints over and says, I heard the word petition, so I’m here.

every friday I am exactly halfway into wanting to stay out until dawn and halfway toward sweats at 6pm

Weed helps

"She loved pretty outfits and big skirts and blue jeans. If you knew her, you couldn’t hate her if you tried." What an absolutely pointless loss.

so I got faked out and thought Waterfire was tonight WHICH IT IS NOT, but it works out bc it's also riffraff jazz night ✨

I am SO EXCITED.

saw this on an ACT UP poster from 1988 at the Poster House museum today. the more things change :)

When my head rolls off / Someone else's will turn / And while I'm alive, I'll make tiny changes to earth ✨ (plus, I always think the first line of this song is “Jesus was Spongebob’s name” lol)

Silvina Ocampo on writing.

I’ve never lobbied before, but today I got my state senator to support a bill that will get ICE out of the Wyatt detention center in my community. I know she’s one of many, but I feel like I did something today.

okay but Triangle of Sadness is incredible

every week is a year long and by the time I reach wednesday, forty million days have already happened

Last summer, taught a choose your own adventure writing workshop to teens. I gave them the dilemma of being inside a cave, either 1. jumping into a hole in the floor or 2. following the sound of country music to get out. They all picked the hole. (They assumed the country music also came with ⬇️.)

messed up that when someone uses or betrays you, you just have to brush yourself off and trust again, bc there's actually no other choice

yesterday when the nation's leader stated he would find and kill trans people, many replied that it was an "empty threat," which is a pretty fucked up thing to say if you're not a member of that population imo

I really hate when people confuse being an asshole with being interesting

i have yet to see a single cis person say something about the fact that the government just designated trans people a terrorist group and threatened to kill all of us.

sweating off my undying rage, walking in the sun 😇

this is legitimately how opening the submission list feels

one of my dear friends sent me their manuscript and I GET TO READ IT

just checking, did they turn gravity up or something, moving has gotten harder

writing anything longform amidst this trash fire is basically an act of god

give yourself the gift of being angry at people who really deserve it

the “very narrow set of opinion” is agreeing that all people have basic human rights

i want my brain to not feel like it's been beat up even at the very end of the weekend and i want two ponies

okay, but lcd soundsystem is perfect cleaning your house music

today is cleaning the house and reading all the books day!

they’re playing sandstorm by darude in the bar lmao

incredible breaking news, the system of the down tribute band played, then wardrobe-changed into full head to toe tracksuits, bc they are ALSO the korn tribute band
