I didn't understand why people hate using "abrahamic religion" because there's a lot of overlap between them
Until I heard "the abrahamic holiday of christmas."
Alright. You were right. People do say it almost exclusively when they only mean christains. I was the weird one.

Remember how Tiger King came along and was like "here's a wacky tiger trafficker who orders hits on wildlife rescuers so they don't expose him. And here's a wildlife rescuer who has a bit of autism. The second one is the bad guy because she's weird."
And everyone went "Fuck yeah!!"

Looking up postpartum psychosis for writing research and the treatments for it are horrifying? It boils down to, "purposefully induce a seizure and load them up on a frankly absurd amount of lithium"

I don't do blackout poetry often, basically only when there's a library program for it, but when I do, I like to choose a page with something profoundly sad on it and try to edit it to a message of hope.

One Little Sibling thing they don't tell you about is when the older moves out and your mom has to buy you clothes for the first time, you will actually have no idea what sort of clothes you like because you have literally never had to choose before

I thought I was breaking on writing based on the month-by-month, but I just did an early calc.
I'm actually about $120 in the red for the year.
Well, I was $200 in the red this time last year!

Personally, I didn't care too much for Wendell and Wild. I just didn't get into it.
But I ADORE when people talk to me about it. Even if it didn't resonate with me, it did resonate with others, and it's nice to hear them list their love. That's what art is about.

I'll never forget how a class I attended had to have its name changed from "welfare economics" (meaning a class discussing where the invisible hand theorum does and doesn't give accurate predictions) to "urban economics"
"welfare" made students avoid it fearing a lib class
But... urban won't?

This. 80% of the work you do as a solo/micro business runner is marketing. Which is why making your passion your business can be so soul destroying.
I spend DRAMATICALLY more time on managing SEO than I do on basically anything else including bookkeeping.
I haven't finished the Pride Dreidels pattern I've been working on for weeks bc we've been fixing SEO on our coffee mugs.
It is actively detrimental to the amount of actual art I get done.

I've said this before and people are always pretty surprised:
There are no fact checkers in non-fiction publishing. The author is responsible for it, and can pay someone to do it, but your publisher will not. This is because publishing is about selling, not about being truthful.

That deciding to buy banned books for your own personal shelves doesn't even come close to solving the harms done by book banning, and actually we'd rather you show up and speak out at your school board and library board meetings and also help elect better candidates - or run for office yourself.
