In today’s writing club, we discussed writing dialogue. Some tips: dialogue occurs amid movement and action, in context that changes what the words themselves mean. The interactions among speakers, and among words and movements, and mannerisms, reveal characters—and lies.

Your friendly reminder that ableism is alive and well and still rearing its ugly head.
No amount of life-saving devices or accessibility tools could ever come close to achieving the level of waste and ecological harm that private jets, AI data centers, and corporate waste/pollution have.

No one should have to choose between their life and their rights. And instead of shaming people for not making the choice we want, let's make it so they don't have to make that choice at all.

Oh SHIT. Two birds with one stone and neither were for immigration. It was to hassle black folk and make a sizzle real about it and to help Wells Fargo out.
Fucking crazy shit.

Do not buy my books from Amazon or Down and Out Books directly. I will not get paid. I should get paid, as per my contract, but in an email from D&O I’ve been told ‘no further payments will be issued.’
It absolutely blows it is ending this way, but man, pay your authors what they are owed.

Being disabled costs a lot more than not being disabled.
Disabled folk are more likely to be in poverty, and many aren't allowed to accrue any savings.
So they have to resort to expensive, often unregulated, credit to survive... Costing even more. It's a horrible reality.

Keep Dolly Parton in your heart tonight
If you pray include her in your prayers
Apparently she's having some serious health issues
She's always been a force for good
and a beacon of love & kindness in song
The world (and especially America) needs her more than ever
in these challenging times RS

Cis people aren't angry enough about the conversion therapy case for my taste.
They'll legalize it, and then States will pass laws requiring it, and that will be how they try to exterminate us.

Trump is considering relief/bailouts for famers and carmakers who are being ruined by his tariffs.
Now riddle me this:
Why does a country need relief from an economic strategy he promised would make us great?
You got played, chumps.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

CHAD (6yr) is one of the most remarkable cats we've ever had. He is large, gentle, and intense. He is bonded with his best friend Squidge (7) and they would like to go home together.
