Nazi tat affair useful because anyone doing bizarre prevarications atm re how its totally normal to have a Nazi tattoo, good actually, not a big deal that'd matter in an election, if anything its cringe you care, etc etc, has revealed you never need to take their politics opinions seriously again.

The fact that the media is afraid to call out the video for exactly what it is and what it contains… is exactly why his people did it.

I see the current media "meta" is that they're calling it "brown liquid" like… y'all. Come on.

“Completion is triumph” is pretty compelling
Start small. Give yourself SMALL goals you can complete quickly, while inspiration and courage hold out.

There ARE people whose first writing work is a series of epic novels. But they are rare.

When you are starting, make a goal of a page, a paragraph, even a sentence.

Completion is triumph.
@gailsimone.bsky.social any advice for writers trying to get started? How do you go from the brain to the page?

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

Please share this, because this could help some folks with worry.

For LGBT married couples, it's time to take steps to protect your marriage in case same-sex marriage is officially dissolved in the coming years. My husband and I did this when Roe V Wade was overturned, so I hope this is helpful. 👇

I don’t even mean because it hurt Trump. That’s nice too. But Jean stood up for sexual assault victims everywhere by facing down one of the most powerful men in the world. And she won.

This is a watershed day for survivors.
