Creative writing will survive humanity's greatest crisis. The robots can never replicate my need for attention

Everyone has some shit to say about how they're going to write a book, and they never will because only you are emotionally naked enough to give yourself over to the years of pointlessness, spiraling, and incredibly difficult work that will almost certainly lead to absolutely nothing! Live más.

Having small children just means finding scraps of toilet paper everywhere and not having the fortitude to ask why

I think more people should confront the fact that Bruce Wayne--and most of the Batman supporting cast--more than likely have south New Jersey accents due to Gotham being right by Atlantic City, canonically

You may not be strong enough to confront this truth, but a truth it remains

San Francisco! Tell the Board of Supervisors to support this resolution to start a green bank!

I think I believe in inspiration and the muse more than a lot of writers in my cohort but the thing is inspiration doesn't come if you wait for it, it comes when you bash your head against the wall so many times that your mind breaks open and candy pours out like a pinata.

I just donated to my local food bank. If you can, you should too. People are already suffering but next month, in particular, is going to be so difficult.

So what? The literary world is always in the first detonation blast zone. Run towards the searing light. You don't want to live in the world without the arts. Become a writer.

San Francisco (and I'm guessing other cities) really seem to believe that pouring cash into penalizing the unhoused while starving public transit of resources will bring about a renaissance.

This is not just cruel, but foolish. It's a good way to destroy quality of life and ruin a city.

‘chill this cookie dough for 24-36 hours’ hey. fuck you

It’s pretty interesting that both Tim Walz and Gavin Newsom are clearly positioning themselves to run for President and one thought he should publicize that he’s having diplomatic conversations with Canadian provinces close to Minnesota and the other thought he should publicize that he sucks

New: Trump and those around him aren't acting like they're testing the boundaries of criminal law. They seem to be crossing them whimsically. What do you suppose people like that will do if and when they start to think their impunity might be at risk?

the wikipedia page for jesters has this in its photo gallery, the only caption is "the court jester of tabbyland"

If you're in SF, I really like this voting guide: www.sfbg.com
