A reminder that this is YOUR social media experience. You don't owe anyone shit. Not your attention, your ideas, your debate, your brainspace.

You can curate your Bluesky experience however you want and there is no intellectual inferiority to do so. This is not a public square; its a fucking app.

Not every time you pick up an instrument is a concert, not every meal you cook is a formal dinner, not every story you write is supposed to be a performance, either. Most of the flavor is in the practice. Make a mess today

This is real (at least in the US). It's not one of those stupid things where you put an idiotic statement on your FB page declaring something illegal. I just checked it on FB settings and it had a list of every website I visited recently. Fucking weird. The future kind of sucks.

The dirty little open secret to writing is that no one will ever know, nor care, how many drafts of a thing were written - people will only ever care about the crafted thing, and will, despite all knowledge to the contrary, assume it came out fully formed that way. No one thinks about shit drafts.

Two years in, the reviews for SUNRAY ALICE only trickle in now, but I'm still just as appreciative as I was for the first one. This one made made my day.

Tweet text: what are peoples thoughts on why fiction writers are producing so much less work than in the past, say up into the 80s but moreso w/r/t the writers of the early part of the 20th c. for the most part we dont have major writers who publish 10, 15, 20+ books anymore.

It's because we all have day jobs, advances are pennies, publishers don't market, one underperforming book tanks your career, and we're expected to be well-tuned brand machines on social media websites designed to suck our souls dry.

Why Are Alaska's Rivers Turning Orange? Streams in Alaska are turning orange with iron and sulfuric acid. Scientists are trying to figure out why

‘In August 2018, when biologist Mike Carey flew by helicopter to retrieve a water sensor he had left in a clean stream east of the Salmon, he saw that the bottom was blanketed in orange slime. He couldn’t find any fish or insects. “Biodiversity just crashed,” he recalled.’
