After that disappointing local election result...

How about we show more love to @nzgreenparty.bsky.social and @tepaatimaori.bsky.social ?

And start working on making next year's general election a proper showing? For the majority of us, not just the rich and the venal?

Something I wish other writers would understand is that you do not need to take advice/feedback you're given, but if you get the same feedback repeatedly, you should probably listen.
I understand wanting to maintain your voice/vision, BUT that also means limiting your audience.

They Want To Ban Books To Keep Us From Coming Out Quick housekeeping! I’m doing a flurry of events once again: Tuesday I’ll be in the Koret Auditorium at the SF Public Library talking about banned books for...

Today is National Coming Out Day!

It's also Freedom to Read Day, aka the last day of Banned Books Week.

This feels right — because the main reason they try to ban books is to keep people from dreaming they could ever come out.

Time for a #GrammarTalk! This week's post is all about plot twists: oh so appealing, but hard to do right.

What's the secret? Let's discuss! I won't ask you to share your favourite twists, though... Spoilers! 😉

Every time you put more restrictions or processes to claim disability benefits, it only harms the people they claim to support.

It won't prevent the (tiny number of) people who will still find ways to circumvent the system.

It'll prevent disabled folk getting what they need.

There's a mākete at the Arts Centre tomorrow (Saturday) during the afternoon, and a concert by the Christchurch Youth Choir in the evening: www.tickettailor.com/events/chris...

Gorgeous boy!

Someone told me recently that part of the writing process is THINKING about writing. Nobody sits and writes immediately at the computer. And I wish they had told me that 3 years ago when this all started and I was feeling anxious, lazy, and ashamed of NOT doing so

But its true. Let your mind THINK.

Our libraries will have voting bins available for dropping off your vote until noon tomorrow (Saturday). ^MT

Ooh, good to know!!

Hi if you’re in NZ I HOPE YOU VOTED IN YOUR LOCAL ELECTIONS OTHERWISE UR A JERK

I keep thinking I should see if my grandma wants to thin out her rhubarb patch...

It's okay to take a break even if you don't think you deserve one. It's okay if you don't cross off every item on your to-do list. It's okay to not be productive every second of every day. You are a human, not a machine. It's okay. You're okay. @danidonovan

Show of hands—who else needed the reminder? 🙋🏻‍♀️

My lifestyle is more curtailed by fatigue than finances at this particular moment, but UBI would make it easier for me to buy good-quality yarn and start getting more involved in the local theatre scene.

Congrats!! 🥳

Ōtautahi I’m sure you don’t need the reminder, but GO VOTE. Chuck your ballot in an orange bin at supermarkets or city council facilities.

And make sure you tick @sarainchch.bsky.social for mayor!

I love the concept of ghost gnats, though!

Sounds like a hell of an omen...

Success! 💪

Not a problem! 😁

There's at least one good thing in this world.

That thing is that you're in it.
