I write a lot, swim a lot, & get clever about getting good books into the hands of the right humans. I love whales & @StebbinsMatt. Co-founder @McCallMade.
Hiya! Even though starting over isn’t always fun, I’ve been hanging out on Bluesky in fits and starts and now there’s a bunch more folks over there and it’s pretty nice. See you soon?
You can always find me on Insta, too.
Listen, I don’t really hang out here anymore but I had to come back momentarily to say how IMPRESSIVE and STONE-COLD Sarah Ashlee Barker is right now.

Also, pre-game commentators saying “Ødegaard always plays with a smile on his face.” 🤣
He didn’t smile when he scored in the second minute of the match!
Jon Champion is so clearly biased toward Arsenal (& against City) in his announcing that we switched to the Spanish telecast. So nice not to have to listen to bad take after bad take.

virginia woolf's 1931 new years resolutions: “to have none. not to be tied. to be free & kindly with myself. sometimes to read, sometimes not to read. to go out, yes—but stay at home in spite of being asked. as for clothes, i think to buy good ones”
The trend of politicians reporting things to us like they’re journalists and not politicians with power to do anything about it needs to end. I mean Joe Biden is president right now, go talk to your boss and ask him what he plans on doing about it. You’re a senator, do something!
i'm going to be clinging to things like art, community, and empathy not just in the days to come, not just in the following years, but my entire life. those are the only things that make sense to me even when the rest of the world doesn't
Election Day Eve Reminder: you’re closer to being homeless than you are to being a billionaire. Abortion care doesn’t only benefit those seeking to terminate a pregnancy. You aren’t rich enough to benefit frm any of Trump’s policies. Immigration isn’t crushing you. Capitalism is.
Ok so you know the war on Christmas people?
I fear I am a war on Halloween person bc of trunk or treats. I’m vehemently opposed to them for communities that have houses close enough to walk between. I think it’s ruining America, and I’m kind of joking but also not at all joking.
you don't fucking need chatGPT. you just need to know how to look up synonyms and correct words/phrases. it's never too late to re-teach yourself how to write. use your your brain. use the internet (the parts that don't steal/ravage the earth). believe in yourself. grow up
This entire thread is bleak, and spot-on. Predatory capitalism strips people of empathy and energy. By design. Empathy rarely benefits the bottom-line (if all you care about is rampant profit). Without it, though, we’re lost.
I really don’t care if you send me work emails on weekends; I won’t see it until I’m back at my desk.
But sending an email on a Saturday and then not giving me even a handful of hours on Monday morning to respond before sending a pointed follow-up?
Hi, you’re unreasonable.
Considering how many times our tax dollars have bailed out airlines, they should be flying people away from natural disasters for free. Nobody should be paying American, Delta, Southwest or whoever for a flight out. They definitely shouldn’t be able to price gouge tickets!
