*emerges from the woods* Oh hey I was on this podcast! I don’t remember what I said but probably some of it was funny!

You are!! Somewhat later than other faces because I missed my bus 😭 so I won't be at the coffee shop, but I'll see you at the ferry terminal!

Off to flee the internet and make art in the forest for a week 🥰

Please tell me if you eat any particularly delicious food or have any particularly joyful experiences while I’m away!

This panel was so much fun; Flights of Foundry is such a joy.

Thank you! <3

Day 1 @flightsoffoundry.bsky.social featured some impressive wifi hiccups but TODAY IS A NEW DAY and I still have two more panels!

11 AM PST: Setting Your Story in Real World Locations
4 PM PST: Literary Speculative Fiction (in which I shall ask scintillating questions such as “is genre a scam?”)

"Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them." -Assata Shakur

Rest In Power ✊🏼

It's surreal honestly

Chapter header followed by the line "This is, objectively, a terrible idea"

Writing is hilarious because I finished an entire chapter before breakfast and then in the past two hours I have written only this.

Heads up, I'm talking to @swingingstorm.bsky.social at Flights of Foundry @dreamfoundry.bsky.social in uh just a few minutes if I've pressed all the buttons correctly flights-of-foundry.org

I am not opposed, per se, to calls for peaceful resistance or for so-called lawfare or for diplomatic mobilization and so on and so forth. Each conflict in reality requires all of these things to some degree to see resolution. But it's a bit foolish to see folks pretend that Israel offers us an out.

I have no respect for politicians who waited for 680,000 Palestinians to be murdered before they said "guys this is bad" BUT the fact that it's now politically advantageous to say is surreal.

(I am not talking about Van Hollen; Van Hollen has been pissing off Zionists since 2006; him I respect)

Like, with an average uninformed American I get it, Americans have been fed a steady diet of "if you think Palestinians are people you are literally Hitler" since birth, and most Americans are T E R R I F I E D of being perceived as a bad person (and willing to overlook many bad things to avoid it.)

That's a very soothing and satisfying story to tell ourselves, yes! But I don't have enough of a superiority complex to believe it -- they say stupid-sounding things but when you actually look at what they're doing, it's frequently very calculated and unfortunately very effective.

Look I realize 24 hours is a long time to remember something in this day and age but I still can't get over the US ENVOY TO SYRIA saying that Arabic doesn't have a word for submit.

I love the author, still have to read the book!

This is such a lovely review ❤️

Death and Liquidity Under the New Moon It’s our fourth July bringing you four great, free, Sunday Morning short stories!

I am two months left to the game on this one but I have just read "Death and Liquidity Under the New Moon" by @vajra.me and it is such a gorgeous haunting primal scream of a story and I don't know how I'm supposed to get anything else done today.
