@downlol6 had the same experience w my debut novel + it was so exasperating. like the writing itself is clear enough, not our fault if your comprehension is bad

Sorry I don’t care about new AI breakthroughs I’m already amazed by the world as it was… I’ve known about seahorses all my life and I’m still in awe

@madeehahwrites oh interesting! i have the glass palace on my shelf. his style is really beautiful

[Mariam Ansar @mariam_a_writes]

@Cassiesmyth 100% - it’s really palpable but it genuinely helps for them to see more than their world view! as soon as you’re not 18 i think you forget just how anxiety inducing the environment is, so so rough

[Mariam Ansar @mariam_a_writes]

@Cassiesmyth thanks Cassie! 🤍 the amount of pressure that was put on us at that age is ridiculous!

[Mariam Ansar @mariam_a_writes]

@Emily_Mckenzie deeply unsettling amount of pride

[Mariam Ansar @mariam_a_writes]

@madeehahwrites @TheCut @jenortiznyc agreed - it’s concerning wrt how we write non-fiction + the extent editors want a response of revulsion at the expense of morality too. there was a way to make the ‘point’ of human carelessness without being so callous? have to believe most of it was hyperbolic for my sanity

[Mariam Ansar @mariam_a_writes]

@iantwang ian you’re so cool (mA)

[Mariam Ansar @mariam_a_writes]

@pb_ph0ebe can i read it? and huge huge congrats phoebe 🤍🤍

[Mariam Ansar @mariam_a_writes]

would absolutely recommend rainer maria rilke’s ‘letters to a young poet’ for this — spiritual and sweet-hearted and very healing

[꩜ @faeslily]

nothing compares to reading a writer who died decades ago describe your exact feelings and realizing that human emotions are timeless

I asked our Dallas community to come out to welcome 8y Adam from #Gaza, who lost his leg in an IOF drone attack on his home. I’m so proud of those who showed their 🇵🇸 pride and ♥️ for Gaza’s children. We will never give up healing the wounds of this genocide.🇵🇸✌🏻😊

Forensic investigation reveals Hind Rajab's car was hit with 355 bullets and finds it "not plausible" that the Israeli tank couldn't see children inside the car
