You got into this because you love reading, not because you love scaling pyramid schemes of late stage capitalism. Somewhere in between that tragic wasteland are the bodies of millions of writers who tried before you! Live forever, no problem, it's only creative writing

oh i had this realization once
Are you actually lazy or are you just looking at the combined creative output of literally the entire internet and then comparing yourself to that

One of the chief virtues of the book is that it’s nearly the only remaining form of media that isn’t constantly being interrupted by ads. Between the covers is the last place on earth where no one is trying to sell you shit, a place where you can still be a human being rather than a mark.

The act of writing is *thinking*. If you do not allow yourself to think thoughts that feel wrong, you will never get a feel for what feels *right*.

The point of writing crap is not that you should barf out anything.

It's that you should be aware as you are writing it what the flaws are, and you need to get through it the first time, because the act of doing so informs you what is wrong.

Explore and experiment. Challenge yourself. Go down paths that could be dead ends. Take time for silence and day dreaming and let your unconscious mind work. Read widely. Dabble in other mediums and let the alternate form inspire your process.

Bad news, everyone - I've been consulting the oracle and it's looking increasingly like life is short and happiness is rare; we may need to take the chance of being wrong and destroying everything in order to change our lives for the better.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will
a medieval style digital drawing of an androgynous brown-skinned knight on horseback on a hill, stabbing a long gold spear into a blue dragon on the ground. the knight has a gold halo behind their head and wears a suit of silver armor with a nonbinary flag striped tunic and a trans flag as a cape. their horse is white, with blue tack with trans pride trim. there is black gothic text at the top and bottom of the image reading “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.” there’s an ornate pale blue border around the image, filled with pink and blue scrollwork, gold hearts filled with colorful flowers, a smiley bat, two smiley moles, and two smiling frogs holding up trans flags.

anyway i really loved the movie i thought it was beautiful meditation on life as a creator and what happens to people who can only really express themselves through art. yes self indulgent but i say go for it. LOVE IT when creators self indulge to say 'this story is important and i am important too'

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Discreetly placed security cat. Photo from my collection, no date/info.
Black and white photo of a strip of bushes in between a house and a brick pathway running parallel to it. On the soil in between two bush sits a white medium haired cat looking very intensely at something out of frame to the right.

Surprise! Photo from my collection, no date/info.
Photo of a light colored kitten jumping out from behind a wall diving two rooms. A flash was used and the kittens eyes look like they are glowing white.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.
