Ezra Klein: There's a Rick & Morty quote I really like.

Ezra Klein: It goes like this, "Why would a pop-tart want to live inside a toaster? That would be like the scariest place for them to live."

Ezra Klein: Because in the episode they go to a neighborhood where everyone is a pop-tart and they live in toaster-houses.

Pointy kitty for reference

Starting a podcast shouldn't be this hard... but it is. Which is weird because a lot of people who seem kind of soft in the head have managed but I have struggled. Here is my first ever episode of Imposter Syndrome! open.spotify.com/episode/4vqe...

True crime keeps women worrying about implausible scenarios. Stranger abduction (0.00007%) Serial killers (50 active in US, pop 330M) while 80% of violence against women is intimate partner violence and 70% of murderers are known to women victims. Keeps focus off of actual threats. #truecrime

The biggest problem with a writing conference is I feel the need to go and write but I also need to go to the classes I signed up for. 🧐 #notwrititng #quills #fiction #writingcommunity #ampitching

I made a website ... Just in case some day I actually get my books written 😂 now I guess I have to!

People most likely to join bluesky are probably the same people who are increasingly disillusioned with social media and it's ills and just ready to unplug in general. I feel like it was maybe a last hurrah for me as I spend less time on social media every day.
