Relevant Tangents

I write. Sometimes well. Tilt at windmills. Dabble at art. Personal stuff. Life is series of tangents. Jana (she/her) #Memoir #Poetry #Fiction #WritingCommunity

#OTD My great-great-aunt Mildred Harnack was beheaded on Hitler’s direct order. Born in Milwaukee, she graduated from the University of Wisconsin & moved to Germany to pursue a PhD. As an American grad student in Berlin, she witnessed a rapid increase in Hitler's popularity. 1/12

🧵 The Netflix series #TheSandman is a masterpiece. Yet, it also deeply troubled me for reasons I couldn’t run to ground until a friend showed me the stories through the lens of trauma. 1/3 @neilhimself @Sandman_Netflix

[Michael Green @andmichaelgreen]

This will sound stupid (and it is) but if you are savoring a new show dropped on Netflix, if it’s all the same to you, please let the episodes play through right away so the completion is counted in a timeframe that is meaningful to the show’s success.

[Neil Gaiman @neilhimself]

Michael is a very wise man. This thread is definitely useful.

Franny Choi, “Catastrophe Is Next To Godliness.” 2020.

[Linda Tirado @KillerMartinis]

I wrote a book which was published in 2014 about how much it sucked to be poor in the world’s wealthiest country.

It’s been translated into seven languages and is taught as text in a dozen universities.

I’ve just had an email about my overuse of the word “fuck.”

Just fyi folks, the narratively contract is notoriously oppressive and you should not sign it

[Squidwords Sami Ellis aint here no mo fr fr @themoosef]

I don't know how to phrase this, but all of your "diverse" characters should be based on real people you know in your real life. If the character is not your own identity, you need to come from a place of first hand knowledge (which means no celebrities).
