Hitting late 30's had the blooming thought of "maybe these spinach pressed juices have a point."

It's weird how Pandora's Box has a little slot in the top for future evilness deposits, I don't remember that in the original myth.

I always self-published, no matter the amount of disdain it got, because I had a lot of writers tell me that publishers absolutely do not want short story collections. When it comes to my art, I'm not letting anyone else tell me what to work on. We want different things.

I often feel like there's a war going on over my books between the readers who connect with what they are and the people in the publishing industry who think I should make them more shit, dumb & unoriginal so they sell more. I know whose side I'm on, and I know I've never been on it more zealously.

We're flooded with nonstop legislation, but focus attention on the SAVE Act. If passed it will be used to crush leftist voters. Married women would not be able to vote if they took their partner's last name (ID wouldn't match birth certificate).

Don't take it for granted; call your senators.

Ichabod makes a circuit through household napping spots, frequenting places until they are undoubtedly his, then ignoring them for years UNTIL I PUT SOMETHING ELSE THERE, HOW DARE I, HE KNOCKED THE BOOKS OFF THE SHELF FOR A REASON, HE OWNS THIS NOW.

a red lego piece that is the platonic ideal of a crab. the lego nubbin is in the center of its back. Its claws are outstretched.

When I went to the DMV site to schedule my license renewal, I was pretty bummed I didn't have to solve a CAPTCHA. That's the one place it would have made sense to have to identify a bunch of stop signs or crosswalks.

Do one of the things that makes you feel better, because if you aren't doing any of that, you will run down. Today I did some writing. I'm a writer, & if I don't write, I run down. It's very easy for me to forget this, despite decades of knowing it. And so I am here to remind you to do your things.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Here in the Twin Cities, it feels very different from 2020. After the murder of George Floyd, the enemies were abstractions: institutional racism, police violence - plus we were mad at the kids looting the post office. Today, the enemy is clear: ICE is the enemy. The goal: Get ICE out.

These 3 hotels are in the "downtown" portion of Vegas, Fremont Street. Not one of the big places and further out, much smaller hotels and a kitschy low-brow vibe. I love it there but it's not the same glamour as the Strip. But for Fallout New Vegas fans, there's the cowboy Victor is modeled after!

I think the cheap thrills aspect will prevail. Why write a comic or hire an artist to make your head canon come true when you can get instant gratification? They're missing the journey, but most creatives begin wanting to imitate or add on to what they love. Sadly, for AI users, it likely ends there

There's also been a shift in character in activism.

In Trump's first term, the big actions were symbolic protests designed to make a narrative impact.

In Trump's second term, we are seeing actions designed to practically frustrate an authoritarian crackdown on civil liberties.

I'm deconstructing one of my favorite cloaks to create a pattern because they stopped making them and I need more than.... five. I have five. And it's not enough.

Cloak gang is out here.

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.

In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said β€œBring me your clothing”.
