What you do matters.

What you say matters.

No matter how big the fight

Or inevitable the conclusion seems

Stand up.

Speak up.

Wrong, temporarily victorious

Is never greater than Right, forever vigilant.

Ohmygoodness!😀

Spread the word! They are trying to get as many of these pigs safely to homes and shelters before the deadline when they will be euthanized. They need awareness, funds, and homes for the pigs. #savethepiggies

@mhchau0 Hello!

[Alyssa Wong (they/them) 💖🌈 @crashwong]

Hey, let's talk about emotional labor & the burden of niceness, because that's been on my mind recently.

[CG Drews @PaperFury]

WRITERS DESERVE...
• to be paid for their work
• to eat a lot of small cakes if they want
• to hide their work until they're READY to show it
• to experiment and make mistakes and try again
• to slowly fill their house with empty journals shh this is our right

[CG Drews @PaperFury]

HOW TO CONTACT A WRITER
• send message in a bottle
• write it in stones during soft rain because aesthetic
• tie letter to sword in a stone in the dark forest
• put message in the middle of cake and send that
• or email is great and we reply in 2 to 4 working years

[Gina Rota @grota2015]

Do you find the same?

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Also: can we stop pretending like racists are only old, rural white folks & not also a bunch of young white dudes who carried torches in Charlottesville, who have committed various terrorist attacks in recent years?

Thanks.

I spent part of the day reminding myself that sometimes you need to step back from a story to understand where it needs to go. #amwriting #process

[Announcement Only | Writing the Other @writingtheother]

This is key. Writers from privileged backgrounds *should* include more representation in their work, but that is only *one part* of creating a more representative publishing landscape. #OwnVoices work must be a priority.

pretty solid thread on the 'why can't i see your hair' scenario so many muslim women face and which so few see as inherently offensive. (and yes, there is a right way to ask about hijab, it's just not this way.) https://t.co/tECJJGogTL

Desperate times. Had to shovel a formula 1 track through the back yard for the greyhounds.

Happy 77th birthday to the great (and recently un-retired) Hayao Miyazaki! 宮崎駿

[CG Drews @PaperFury]

SIGNS YOU'RE A WRITER
• collects normal things like notebooks and sorcerer stones
• has scraps of paper with ideas everywhere
• is a little magical
• can't read own handwriting
• inspired for 36 epic projects!
• just not the one you're meant to be working on
