I ♥ strangers & stories & stuff. Although not 101% consistently. Anonymous randomness for loyal spam followers & public usage

The source of all cliches can be traced to one thing; the writer does not know the world of their story.

@Pinboard @mattyglesias Thought I'm surprised by nothing they do (I mean, this talent has been honed for 70 years), but that incorporation of the famous German pastor "be ashamed for passively letting the Nazis kill Jews" quote kinda gobsmacked me in its brazenness

@Pinboard @mattyglesias Honestly, starting to feel overwhelmed when I see how many fake accounts (pretending Twitter is even accessible in free speech ROC!) are engaging with ppl. I guess they must be scared if cctv's int'l propoganda machine is trying so hard to manipulate the int'l viewer narrative

These protest posters are so thoughtfully crafted. Got chills looking at each one

@waub The big white dude on a snowmobile in Moon of the Crusted Snow: not sure I've ever felt such a creepy awful sense of menace when a potential antagonist first shows up in a story!! 😱👽😈☠️ #thesuspenseiskillingme #stayarmedevan #hideyowifehideyokidshideyomoose

@EverywhereErica @shannonjmaurer You could read! Now that's a nice concession! Your mom was clearly wise & amazing

@JessirayWheeler It's cool to hear someone say that. I know white-passing ppl have other things they gotta prove, like ppl judging their self-identification/culture, but this is true. Being mixed & coming out different shades, my sis (able to pass) & me (not) have had really different experiences

The worst thing a writer can do is let life paralyze you into inaction.

Yes, people are being locked up for fun and you are short on funds and anxiety is tearing you apart.

But your words mean something and only you can write them.

@Jacqh419 @BetoORourke Not arguing with your opinion (he does seem young!), but as for facts, pretty sure he's of similar age (abt 47) or older than Obama (47), Clinton (46), and JFK (42) were when they ran for prez

@gasagasagirl I seriously want a Mas Arai action figure. And Ellie Rush on a sweet BMX bike

@MalakaGharib @aizenglobe Not sure what people are reading that's 'framing' the story in anything but a negative light on Bach. While I wouldn't defend her, some of the outraged assumptions made in comments seem off. I've heard Ugandans say very different things abt the healthcare situation in some areas.

@ShannonDingle @lydiaheysoul As it was local news people filming, I don't know that the intent was to exploit for a specific purpose (other than film 'the story'), but these days something transfigures into something of a different substance altogether when it becomes viral. So you have a good point

Greenland is melting. Fast. Like really, really fast. 197 billion tons melted in July alone, the hottest month ever in recorded history.
