Unsolicited writing advice, #17171617:
Don't just write. Read books. Watch films. Look at paintings and sculpture. Play games. Go to plays. Listen to music. Think about how these things make you feel.
Making art is a two-way stream. To make art, you have to consume art.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

Right-wingers are social parasites - they feed on healthy liberal hosts. Without liberals to hate and troll they have nothing and the platforms fail. They made Twitter a sick, toxic place - and Twitter is dying - that's why they attempt to infect #Bluesky. Block them at first sight - no mercy!

REMINDER: trump does not have a mandate.
His margin of victory is itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny, super small.
One of the smallest in HISTORY.
Smaller than President Biden's.
Smaller than President Obama's.
Smaller than Bush's.
