The plight of Yemeni children moved my son to tears. He urged me to give and to do what I could. Please consider what you can do.

Is anybody else annoyed at the "In case you missed @soandso's tweet" in their notifications?
I guessed it's based on what tweets they think I would like.
Not even close.
(Apologies if your handle is actually @soandso. I'm not attacking you.)
@HistFantasy ...To those who are doing your best but fall short, I think that is understandable. To those who are not doing your best to be responsible in your treatment of racial issues, I urge them to do better, to care. Art should bring us together, should help us understand one another.
@HistFantasy There is on this spectrum of racial awareness a group (rather large) that simply is not deliberate in their choices and is not actively seeking to learn. I think this is where our “casually racist” writers live. True, they bear no other race ill will, but neither do they...
@HistFantasy ...strive to educate themselves. Only in the young may ignorance be tolerated, and even then, not for very long. Sensitivity readers are good resources for us to employ if we cannot confidently address matters of race. I intend to consult one myself in my current WIP...
@craverett I’m not saying that to be sarcastic. I think artificial standards (like being a “grown-up” author or trying to be “literary”) can really keep writers and readers from having fun.
@ClaytonSnyder2 Let me clarify: it’s mostly friends and brothers ribbing each other, so maybe it’s “punching,” but there’s no “up” or “down.” They’re all peers.
I had a hard time writing the funny parts in #SoZ. When you tell a joke, you can judge its success by people’s reactions; but when you’re writing humor, IT’S JUST YOU. How can you tell if it works. Anyone else?
