I fell asleep before I posted yesterday, but that doesn't mean I broke the streak! 304 words yesterday and 475 today.
In related news, I love writing dreams that start beautiful and happy and turn into nightmares.

If I don't tell someone what I've written on a day to day basis, I simply won't write regularly enough. In this case, "someone" can be synonymous with "the void."

My most boomer complaint is that renting a film on a digital platform should never cost $20. We used to have redbox. We used to have blockbuster. We used to be a real country.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
