Happy world #Anthropology day. I see Anthropology not as the opportunity to study minority cultures, but it’s the opportunity to better understand the world and to tear down ethnocentrism. That is why I became an anthropologist.
U2 belief statement
My favorite band in the world just dropped an album with a slay of a statement. Yessssss. #u2
How are those 2026 writing goals going? If you’re getting stuck, let me know. I’m obsessed with seeing writers become authors who wield the written word like a sword (yes I’m making that reference 😜). Schedule a complimentary call here: veronicakirin.com/editing/
My new guide for leaving the USA is live.

Just got my first publisher rejection of the year. 💪🏻 #writingcommunity
My goal was to send 150 pitches in 2026. I’m already at 48. Time to adjust my plans. 😅 #writingcommunity
So you’re telling me that the same men who own companies that fight tooth and nail against safety and environmental regulations were found in the Epstein files? Shocking.
Wavetale record
Hands down my favorite writing music. I try to listen to something different each morning but, honestly, the #wavetale game soundtrack is the one I return to most. What’s yours? #writingcommunity

In other news I’ve spent two months pitching freelance in Web3 (the weird niche I’ve carved for myself) and gotten no replies so starting today I’m pitching as a man. This will either lead to actual interviews or a solid feminist essay. Stay tuned. ✊🏼

Just finished typing my first novel (manuscript was written pencil and paper). It’s 30,689 words. A nice little queer dystopian sci-fi Novella shaping up — we’ll see how much more gets added after more edits and beta readers. 😅 #writingcommunity

Dunno who needs this message of peace today. Take ten minutes with this song to tap back into beauty. youtu.be/YsgP8LkEopM?...
Mine did! Exactly this. To add, my feed has a lot of random Russian content in it now. The change is obvious and frightening.
There are only two options for stopping abuse with this much power. open.substack.com/pub/scalingl...
This is how abuse works. The abuser takes and hits and takes and hits until met with force equal to or greater than its own. I’m terrified of that moment, of how many beautiful, innocent, good people will be lost. As a social scientist, I know it’s coming. #minneapolis

My book or the translated work? My book was just finished in first draft this week — both projects are fast from design phase. I won’t worry about that until a publisher is secure. One step at a time is best.
No. But they are in the future overthrowing a fascist regime. So this document could be useful to them in that way. They already reference the fall of the Berlin Wall, for example.
