I feel seen. 🫣 #amwriting #writingcommunity

(And yes, I have multiple WIPs still going. Three different books, to be exact - not including the ultra-short one I'm prepping for self-pub)

Portland right now.

Y’all there’s SO MANY struggling artists right now. Please please help if you are in the position to do so. Do some early holiday shopping. Treat yourself to something special. Donate just to keep seeing people create. And don’t forget sharing always helps so much. We are just trying to survive.

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

I’m not kidding when I say these weird ass costumes and antics are actually an extremely effective tactic from a media standpoint bc when enough people do them, the media can’t fully scrub them out

I'm just a little non binary pansexual demi-romantic person who is really afraid of the world right now...

I didn't know about this Signal For Help hand gesture until today. I'm quite sure that a lot of other people don't know it either (as demonstrated in this video). If you just learned it now too then it was worth posting.

Sen. PADILLA: This Justice Department fired a 15-year career prosecutor who put away sex traffickers and transnational terrorists. She was marched out of her office. Why? Because she had the audacity to remind Border Patrol that it should follow court orders.

A message from the great Jane Goodall. A must watch from start to finish. ❤️

Yashar Ali 🐘 @yasharali.bsky.social · 7d

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Not my picture but my god this EXACTLY sums up why I'm so done with goddamn internet discourse. Everyone feels they have to have a take. It feels like people are seeking out negativity rather than just... enjoying what they do like.

I genuinely don't wanna be around people who act like this anymore
