You never really realize how many anthologies you're in until you have to post links to all of them for a relative so they can "have them on my shelf and be delighted to look at them"

Creativity is the birthright of our species. From murals to music, from sculptures to sandwiches, from drawings to dances and everything in between. Making the world more beautiful, making each other's lives richer in so many ways is what we were born to do. All of us for each other, not just a few.

Hanging onto every bit of good news

The river has come alive in the Klamath with wild Chinook salmon. The wider ecosystem is healing.

This most powerful story of Indigenous-led #rewilding after the largest dam removal in US history keeps getting better.

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

If I wrote an article about how Johnny Cash seemed uncool I would just look at what I wrote and then walk into jail or the sun, maybe both.

Haha left my shirt at my sister's house and she sent me this:
A picture of my blue button up shirt with owlbears and cherry blossoms on it, hanging in my niece's closet. 

The caption my sister has put on the picture says: Some gay left this homo shirt at my house

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Dance party protests might be one of the best moves right now.

These make fascists look ridiculous, counter the "Portland is dangerous" narrative, and showcase joy and community at a time when those things are in short supply. Keep it up.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

Traveling to áyA Con in Denver this last weekend and haven’t been able to keep up with #NDNartober.
For my People, the story of the Corn Husk Doll is one of vanity, which seems very relevant in the age of social media. Had this idea for a while now, not everyone will like it but I don’t care
My late contribution to NDNartober Day 1, Cornhusk Doll “pinup” sittin on the ground one knee up, leaning on one arm behind her, the other holding cell phone like taking a selfie in a mirror.

A small hummingbird with deep magenta and violet plumage is perched on a branch, fluffing its feathers. Its head is turned to the side, showing a bright white forehead and a long, slender bill, set against a soft green background.

Not only have editors prevented me from showing my ass in public, so has hiring sensitivity readers. I’m a big fan of both. Having someone be honest with you while also keeping your best interests at heart is something to be valued not dismissed

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Far-right influencer Nick Fuentes is a neo-Nazi. But you wouldn’t necessarily know that if you saw him on some of the popular podcasts he’s been on lately, with fairly mainstream shows hosting him for appearances that have garnered millions of views.

The Rise of Nick Fuentes Should Horrify Us All
A neo-Nazi is trying to fill the void left by the failures of the two major parties. Unless Americans are offered a visionary alternative, Fuentes’ toxic ideology may flourish.
