Very much this.
Not for nothing, but when these wannabe ass folk come from privileged backgrounds, they create problems for marginalized folk like me within the industry.
Their lazy schlock occupies shelf space and resources that should go to someone who actually cares, regardless of background.

There are wayyyyy fewer people who want to do the act of writing vs people who want to be known as writers.
That’s part of Audra Winter’s problem, I think. She doesn’t actually like writing, but she wants to BE a writer.

If you don’t derive any benefit from the act of writing, no pleasure or catharsis or satisfaction, why are you doing it? This isn’t meant to be an aggressive question, I’m not demanding an answer, but it’s a thing you may want to ask yourself. Life is short and you could do something else?

The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.
Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Thinking a lot about the ways my duties as a caregiver have limited my access to rest, pleasure, and peace of mind.
Tomorrow is my birthday and I'm at home, listening to my son beatbox.
There were things I wanted to do, nothing fancy. I'll manage some, not all. It's frustrating.

I should be asleep at this hour. However I am tasked with the care of a young adult w special needs, meaning I'm researching sleep and eating disorders on the innanet instead.
Sleep is a basic human need and I haven't had consistent rest in 20 years.
"Tired" doesn't quite cover it.😮💨

With every fiber of my being, I hope for the day when white people will just tend to their own business, and free themselves from the exhausting, repetitive cycle of trying to conquer and control everything and everyone.

I keep thinking about how so many global conflicts boil down to one thing:
White people don't know how leave people alone. That's it.

#Baltimore Mayor #BrandonScott invested in 42 summer youth camps, 29 literacy programs, extended the rec center hours to 11 p.m, planned block parties, opened the pools for safe fun, & opened several schools up for summer classes. Crime is down 62%. 🔥🔥 www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
Baltimore is seeing the city’s fewest homicides in 50 years. Here’s why.
Multiple people have taken credit for the historic drop that mirrors a national decrease in violent crimes. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott says it’s due to a community-based approach to gun violence.

one thing the AI uptick has shown is that people resent creatives so much for what they perceive to be "not real work." and that means creating a narrative that people are overpaid for things they don't perceive as important/valuable, but still form entire consumer identities around.

I had a single, hours long lecture from my parents at age 9. This was during a childhood full of Baptist posturing that lionized female virginity, vilified anything remotely sexual outside hetero marriage, and cast gays /fornicators into the "Lake of Fire™️"
*SN: came out at 36.

did anyones parents *actually* talk to them about sex?
its been a plot point in like every TV show and movie about raising kids for like centuries at this point but does it actually happen?
i think "the birds and the bees" speech is entirely a ficticious construct

Texted my "cool, younger" uncle my graduation details. He insists I call him (not by replying to me, by calling my mom, his sister).
I called today. What began as a semi pleasant convo ends with his thinly veiled homophobia disguised as Xtian love.
