Well, I didn’t buy anything for the last 23 hours and 40 minutes. I hope my sacrifice has helped effect regime change and destroy late capitalism.

I’ve been drawing things lately. It’s fun.

Ain’t no negative like a biopsy negative because a biopsy negative means you can stop worrying about one specific thing which these days I’ll definitely take, if I’m honest.

Truly an unforeseeable tragesty, as they say. Thoughts and prayers.

A dog

Back from hospital. Paralyzed, but might get better. Also high as a kite right now.

This just in: Drake announced he won’t be coming to Kid’s Choice awards, after being told children are not given along with said award.

A very handsome dog with a strange looking man in the background.

Just a gratuitous picture of the dog looking handsome (and me looking like a hobo).

That is one dead-inside 24 year old

If you get it sorted dm me

It’s going to be art.

@henrylienauthor.bsky.social Fantastic work, Henry. I’m glad I didn’t have other plans tonight.

Thank you for this really amazing screen cap. I love things that inform my thinking like this.

While my election-related battle vs despair continues, I’m at least at the point now where I’m starting to feel things again. Sure, “things” is just “thing,” and that singular “thing” is “rage.” But it does vary from “white hot” to “cold and determined.” I still don’t know what to do, though.

This fucking guy.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Curious about when we go from “Joe Biden’s fault” to “No one could have ever foreseen this” as the explanation for the most recent completely foreseeable heartbreak/disaster/tragedy.

The headline makes me itch. Ozempic is for diabetes. Wegovy, Zepbound (and some other brand names) are for obesity. Granted the others don’t have the catchy jingle Ozempic has, but honestly, aren’t newspapers supposed to, like, clarify misconceptions?

Last night I finished the outline for my second novel. Plot grid next. For real this time #writing

This is perfect explanation

Why have we let ourselves normalize 1500 sq. ft. houses starting at a half million dollars?

The difficulty is that over the last decade or so and in the coming decades good governance will really only mean keeping things from getting worse as quickly as they would have. #democracy

I’m not sure I can say one way or the other without knowing your social security and driver’s license numbers, along with your home ZIP code and the 2FA code you’re about to get from your bank.

I am very cautiously integrating ChatGPT into my fiction writing process: it helped me remember some beats I wanted to include in the plot and to visualize the beast in the world I’m creating. I’m calling it a haa’boon at the moment (horse-baboon, get it? Of course you do). Is it cute? Creepy? Both?

SoCal peeps: if you’re running an air filter today, don’t forget to close you chimney flue. In other words, don’t be like me.

The picture from the Carter Center is fun, but remember that the service wasn’t the first time Jimmy Carter helped bridge political divides.

How do you know it wasn’t the sugartitsians, hmmm?
