I'm having one of the most productive mornings I've had in a long time. I finished short story edits on a short story, and then submitted it to two markets. I also followed my publisher's advice and submitted a published work to Best of Horror 2025 (which is the longest of long shots).

Best thing I’ve ever bought at Dollar Tree
My doctor switched my ADHD medicine today and I feel SO FOCUSED.
I have to ask (non-ADHD friends)… is this how y’all live? You just think of something to do and you can just… do the thing? No bargaining with your brain or triple espresso needed? Because this is niiiiiiiice.

This was a difficult post to write, and it would likely be a difficult post for some of you to read. Today I wrote about secondary victims to the victim of a violent crime... including the family members of the criminal, like myself.

I will pay a journalist $100 if they manage to get an answer from Trump on whether there's a danger in his levying further tariffs on Wakanda if they don't begin fairly trading vibranium with the US.

Re Zelensky at the WH, yet again, feminists and trauma/abuse- informed thinkers are years ahead of political analysts.
There is no acceptable affect, no way to charm an abuser, and no “deal” other than playing very very dead that would change how Trump and his flying monkey Vance behaved.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

One of my goals this year was to post on my blog at least once a week. I've been trying to write the post I'm working on for days and I'm getting nowhere. Every time I try to write, some new fresh hell hits the news and anything I would write in response feels pointless.

Mood stabilizers and antipsychotics are a miracle of modern medicine and I’m tired of pretending there’s questions to be asked about them. It’s settled science. I hate this administration and their dedication to opening the wounds of human suffering as often as possible
