@leslie_bern Oh yeah. It gets worse. There’s a whole summary post on r/NaNoWriMo called “NO MORE NANOWRIMO”

[Cyndi @ALittleCynical]

@leslie_bern I was very involved in my local NaNo chapter until the grooming cover up came out last year. I resigned and have watched as leadership destroyed this org . I cannot describe the level of schaudenfreude I have over this blowing up overnight and all their bad takes being exposed.

@RTRFND Especially because of co-morbidities. But as you said, its the no-med crowd. My sensory issues are independent of my mood disorder but my executive dysfunction is a lesser known component of it. An ADHD diagnosis wouldn’t be right for me. Autism up in the air. It’s so nuanced.

@RTRFND What are these glasses? I need a pair.

[Cyndi @ALittleCynical]

@RTRFND Arteza is the shit!

[Cyndi @ALittleCynical]

Can we not with the replays of Tua’s injury? Just…no.

@RTRFND I wouldn’t call this douchey! Cooler weather pinot is far superior. Pinot is a very finicky grape.

@kevinized100 Spoken like a Texan 🤣

[Cyndi @ALittleCynical]

@BFriedmanDC As someone who grew up in this area I’m not the least bit surprised. Got out ASAP

[Cyndi @ALittleCynical]

@RTRFND Am DFW native, can confirm.

Just a quick reminder for my TX friends that while Beto winning the governorship would be great for TX, your state and local reps matter even more. Else we’ll see what we’re seeing on the national level. Little power lies with the executive branch.

@leslie_bern Like I said, not at all academic. I write fiction. But happy to talk more about it if you need support!

[Cyndi @ALittleCynical]

@leslie_bern 3. Being diligent about a schedule & respecting it. You don’t have to write daily, but knowing your output & hurdles, can help you set a realistic timeline.

4. Support! I do NaNoWriMo every year. Accountability & community helps with realistic goals and how you treat yourself

[Cyndi @ALittleCynical]

Not even the slightest bit surprised. I hated my time at CHHS. Had some great teachers there but that could not make up for the absolute shittiness of some of the students and community.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Texas parents accused a Black principal of teaching critical race theory. The district has now suspended him. https://t.co/WVdLyy0hzu

@TheValorieClark Overstimulation! Got it before the pandemic, even worse now. 😭

[Cyndi @ALittleCynical]

@jcarterspires Any chance you can share this spreadsheet? I’m curious and don’t know that I realized there were this many!

[Cyndi @ALittleCynical]

@TheValorieClark @honeypiebaking Kerrygold is the only one you probably see regularly! It’s hard to find others.
