The political right: *declares an ideological civil war*

Me: *eating an acai bowl* Oh No

Nearly getting murdered has always been a swift behavioral change process for me as well 🪦

Oh, cool! Sometimes I kick myself for not pursuing psychology in undergrad. I’ve been writing short stories with a relationship focus for about 5 years; but in August, I started writing a zombie novel. It’s been a surprising change of pace, but a lot of fun!

Also a sober writer over here. What’s your favorite variety of writing?

Even though it was for the silliest thing I’ve ever written, I just wanted to share with #writingcommunity that I got my first short story published in print. I can’t believe I found a suitably silly journal 🤪

Does the fact that i’m going through a Cher phase mean I’m entering middle age? I’m only 34… i thought I had more time 😕

Good job! I just had my first story idea in a little while. Hopefully I’ll join rank soon.

Nothing like a rainy summer run to make me feel just grateful that I get to be here.

Opinion | Hillary Clinton: How Kamala Harris Can Win and Make History I’ve been called a witch, a “nasty woman” and much worse. Harris will face unique additional challenges. But we shouldn’t be afraid.

“Now it’s time to organize, mobilize, and win.”

Hi! Forthcoming work only. Will report back.

Harry Potter and the Scorsese Stone

Good luck! Is this a private editor you hired to improve your work, or part of a book deal?

People wanting Joe to stay people wanting Joe to leave Kamala gonna fuck up Trump up

Happy to see the timeline united again

I think we all owe Rick Santorum an apology.

Nahh im just fuckin with ya.

Kamala’s menu of potential VPs

At this point, I think it’d be unprecedented if something… well, precedented, happened.

I need a part replaced on my bike, so I rode it along the Greenway to the bike shop, then caught a streetcar to the ferry to get back home. Couldn’t help but to think, what a cool little adventure!

Don't miss this one, writers!

I’m agnostic, but honestly, policies based on Jesus’s teachings wouldn’t be so bad. They’d be: vague, empathetic, inclusive, and progressive. The christian nationalist don’t even know what’s in the book. Their gospel is cruelty.

Valerian: City of a Thousand Planets, is one of the worst movies I’ve seen in a very long time.

Someone said my short story was “The Lottery” meets “Talented Mr. Ripley” 🤣

I didn’t mean to, but I totally see that now.

From a barron’s article. This totally ignores that reduced-methane cows will still either cause deforestation on a massive scale, unless their raised in CAFOs which are wildly inhumane.
There’s no way to ethically AND sustainably raise cattle.

And then Jesus said: Do as Moses said.

Louisiana’s governor is so Godly he’ll…. *checks notes* ….umm…

FYI, Louisiana’s governor just signed into law surgical castration for sex offenders, and a requirement to hang 10 commandments in every public school classroom.
This is Christian nationalism, arcane and cruel.
Our state has such great need, but our leaders are fixated on causing liberal outrage.

White House Announces Strategy to Keep Edible Food Out of Landfills The government will look at ways to extend the shelf life of foods and to create more composting and other facilities, as well as urge companies to donate more food.

Great first step to tackle food waste and, by extension, food waste related greenhouse gas emissions.

Biden isn’t my ideal candidate, but between not-quite-good-enough efforts in the right direction, and SCOTUS appointees, it’s a pretty easy vote to cast.

I forgot that modern southern summers doesn’t just mean extreme heat, but also unsafe air. I’m willing to go for runs when it’s hot, but my lungs react poorly to high ozone levels.

Eat less beef! Eat the rich, and vegetables!

I have a fairly minor medical concern, which has given me a refresher course in two things I already knew:
1) American medical infrastructure is totally fucked
2) google is an extremely dangerous place for someone with medical questions, and now with AI it’s become more reckless and consequential

Hey #writingcommunity
What’s your favorite craft magazine? I’m currently skipping 2/3 of the articles in a Writer’s Digest. I used to really like that magazine but, one or both of us has changed.

I mostly write fiction.

An incomplete list of people who care more about me than my doctor:
-My plumber
-My banker
-The barista at my local coffee shop
-Opposing counsel (I’m a lawyer)
-Virtually everyone else
