If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

THE LIBBING OUT WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES

Dear horror writers: here, take this.
Also, dear horror writers: ignore this. We don’t need you to do anything with this.

Play it on repeat.

Someone tell Nate and Ezra that their reports on our collective demise seem to be grossly fucking exaggerated.

Light the fucking beacons.
We’re still here.

(Congratulations, New York. We needed this.)

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often

[Exit Clown.]

Can't wait!!

The Mondayingest Monday that had ever Mondayed. With extra Monday on the side.

Even if you aren’t living in Virginia, New York, or other places where you have an opportunity to vote at the moment, please listen to this. The cynics are strong in the timeline today. Listen to this instead.

The absolute king of my internet.

Yes! And this makes me spiral into many thoughts and much anxiety. Like hey, is this a sign that I'm neurospicy and haven't known or I'm just getting old or...? What? I feel like my kids are just CONSTANTLY YELLING and this is sometimes true and sometimes not!

Hi! Share this, gamer or not! GDQ is such a wonderful platform and this will be so good!

Joy is: sitting on the back porch listening to the migrating birds rest and gossip on a nearby tree.

Thanks for making this your pit stop, red winged blackbirds.

Breathe in some fresh air. Snatch some joy. You are still here. We are still here.

There is a lot going on.
If you've been feeling powerless in the face of the onslaught, here is your assignment: feed the hungry. Do one thing that feeds a hungry person today.

I grew up just outside of DC and knew so many proud government employees. So many of my friends serve now. These are your good neighbors who actually make your government run. Let’s offer them love and relief, knowing they’d do the same for us.

Be the village today. So some good today.

One more week to sign up for this banger class!

A Perfect Pairing: A Storytelling and Food Class with K.W. Onley - StoryStudio Chicago Perfect for fiction or nonfiction writers, we will practice how to include and describe food in our writing--how to evoke taste, smell, and that beautiful cozy feeling of having consumed a great meal ...

I’m running a genre-agnostic workshop on food and storytelling next month for @storystudiochicago.bsky.social and I’d love to see more sign ups. The world is so mean. Let’s spend November remembering our humanity by sharing recipes and memories. More here: www.storystudiochicago.org/classes/clas...

Single dev team. Totally free. Intuitive. Transparent. Check them out today.

And happy writing. We need your story.

This is located in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, close to Fullerton and Sheffield. It's a densely populated area near DePaul University. I'm pleased to see the community standing up against these despicable individuals.

*sigh* known. Do we have an edit button on this thing yet?

Katamari: “You want the usual controls or the simple controls? Simple controls are for people who’ve never rolled a katamari before.”

My old ass: “SWEETIE! I have been rolling Katamaris since the PS2! Don’t start with me!”

Happy Katamari Day to the OLDER gamers who’ve know The Prince since ‘04!

Can we…resist the temptation to screenshot the regime accounts and post them? I blocked them for a reason. Your commentary over their nonsense isn’t adding anything of value.

When it comes to the short story, I can’t think of a sharper, more innovative writer than @kswalkerwrites.bsky.social. Take this class. Elevate your craft.

[Exit King.]

Ohh, looks like it's "gather at the island" day!
Happy and safe journey to all the new jellies!

May your week be transformative and wonderful.

November is our month dedicated to food, storytelling, and collective memory. My class encourages writers of all genres to write stories pairing food and memory. Join me for 4 weeks of sharing, remembering, and hopefully laughing next month! www.storystudiochicago.org/classes/clas...

‘Catastrophic decline’ in Black representation in children’s books A report by charity Inclusive Books for Children found that of the 2,721 books surveyed, only 51 featured a Black main character, down by 21.5% since 2023

One of the things about this study is that a lot of baby and toddler books are written in house, by editors. So the study reveals the whiteness of editorial in kidlit even if not explicitly. But, big picture, this trend is unacceptable. I remember so many promises www.theguardian.com/books/2025/o...

The feds really had no idea they were up against the most sarcastic and passive-aggressive city in America.
