Right, so this is about my story in This Way Lies Madness. With everything else going on I guess priorities were a bit different (also this place is a hellscape). But hey, if horror is your thing, perhaps check this out?

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

This is one of the hardest but also one of the most important warnings from the history of Auschwitz coming for us today.

Perpetrators were in fact people who accepted and followed an ideology that made them believe that they were better than others, an ideology that rationalized and promoted hatred & evil. This became part of their everyday lives and their environment.

They were not monsters. They were people: fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, sons and daughters. They had their family joys and problems, their favorite desserts or songs, hobbies or fears. They were people like us. But they also perpetrated horrible things, monstrous things on behalf of the ideology they believed in. Dehumanization of all "others" was a tool that helped them achieve their goal.

The perpetrators thought of themselves as moral people. And this is the scary part of this history. We cannot dehumanize them, as their story and choices are our human warning.

So many of my favorite pieces I've written got 50+ rejections before finding a good home. And those stories tend to be the misfits. Too experimental, too weird, too difficult in subject matter or execution. And you know what? I see writers get disappointed after-

If you understand that artists are workers, you understand that art is not about having an idea. Art is about doing the labor.

As authors, we talk about writing every day. But one of the vital aspects is often glossed over: the value of time. A decade+ into my dream of being an author, here are my thin pencil shavings of wisdom about Writing Time. Maybe the solidarity will help someone feel seen. 🧵 1/16

Dear friends and colleagues,
This is a call for international conference organizers to think twice before organizing any conference in Western Europe/North America, where many academics from the Global South (GS) need a visa to enter. (1)

@Ammer_B 27%. Wat me hier zorgen baart is dat "ongevaccineerden in een risicogroep" uitsluiten bij hoge prevalentie --> 1. Ongewenste tweerangensamenleving en 2. Omdat helemaal niet duidelijk is of je daar besmet gaat worden. https://t.co/QyblxXhp1t
