Went to a reading last night for a well-known literary writer on tour right now and the local moderator was so bad that I spent 50% of the evening gritting my teeth and the woman next to me kept shaking her head and sighing. A moderator so bad I am still thinking about it 12 hours later!! ugh.

1/9. In 2020 Iran did try to interfere with the presidential election.

Today I spent five hours in a volunteer training workshop on how to visit effectively with dementia patients and then I came home, wrote a bit of fiction, and walked the dog. Letter of recommendation: if you can step away from the horrors, even for just a bit, try to do so.

This is what happens when you eviscerate the State Dept and instead send rich arrogant businessmen to negotiate despite knowing nothing about diplomacy and having zero (truly zero) expertise in nuclear policy. The U.S. bombed schoolchildren today as a result of these failed negotiations. Horrifying.

I'd prefer the award in cash so I can buy more groceries, thanks

Hilary Knight's statement was all about how the achievements of women shouldn't be overshadowed by what some men said about them, and the women shouldn't have to answer for other people's behavior. Go ahead and compare that message to every headline and post you're seeing about what she said.

I simply do not have the bandwidth right now for American Girls doll discourse but whew when I do... someone put a drink in my hand

Video of Knight's answer, posted by several folks on the other site ...

AI, as a force of automation, theft, surveillance, misogyny, racism & control, is absolutely a component of the global fascist moment. Submission to AI is capitulation to fascism. Yes, it’s very hard to avoid, and employers foist it on us. Fighting fascism is hard. Totally worth it, though!

okay I'd convinced myself I was not going to give into AWP FOMO but

gah I will not be at AWP this year but if I were! Truly bummed to miss this. Have fun and such a small world- was just at VSC with Kasey last month! What a champ.
