I'm leaving X/Twitter. Can't be part of this anymore, even passively.
Find me at:
- Bsky (mgharris - politics and general nonsense)
- Instagram (mgharrisbooks - food and fun)
- TikTok (mgharrisbooks - booky stuff)
@EYakoby Could it be that the USA isn't a party to these massacres, isn't supplying weapons or getting cosy with the leader that is ordering the murders, so protesting in the USA would have exactly zero effect?
@JamesMartinSJ Doesn't Paul write in 2 Cor 1-5 that God has*already* prepared new bodies to house our souls (minds? Memories?) and that the bodies are made of something imperishable and don't suffer or need sustenance in the way our 'earthly tent' bodies do?
Ultimate transhumanism.
@crispriestley Yes I have also seen it. I have another account that I used to use for discussing politics etc. Ended up blocking tens of thousands of people! And even then there are always new ones popping up to provoke a fight.
@crispriestley I think sometimes you have to guard your mental health most. There are people doing exactly what you're talking about and they're reporting about it on bluesky. Like @RonFilipkowski who monitors the far right movement. Some things are better seen at a remove.
@crispriestley At the other place you can say anything and you will mainly get good faith engagement. There's a block on sight thing going on with the trolls there, and they're having difficulty getting traction.
@crispriestley If you avoid controversial topics here the experience is fine. Express support for marginalised people or criticise certain dictator and wannabes and the trolls descend.
@naomicfisher Quiet calm classrooms and lessons where knowledge is actually increased are beneficial to all kids not just the high attaining academic ones. It's demoralising to have your time wasted.
@jakonrath It starts with acts at home, caring for your family and neighbours. The WhatsApp neighbourhood group we started for mutual aid during COVID is still running. Mutual aid groups on twitter too - lots of good people out there.

@sophiakb_writes@haleypatricia_ Yes. When you have a structural problem (and length is always a structural problem, unless you have a narrative style that will be difficult to sell in most genres). So always go back to the plot and see what you can deepen or cut.
In the other place I'm https://t.co/euBhipBFRZ
(Yes I beat the other MG Harrises to it. Like I did for Twitter years ago, then deleted account by mistake and had to start over with another handle, ah good times.)
I'm keeping my X/Twitter account for occasional book talk. On Bluesky I'll be more scrappy and into politics etc ;)
Anyway, an update on my latest project, THE MIND GAME, an espionage thriller series for young adults.
Book trailers. All of two 😆

I hope you all enjoy the Blake's 7 Blu-rays as much as I have. The series has never looked and sounded so crisp, shiny, and new. I'm in awe at the hard work and dedication that has gone into the restoration. #Blakes7
