We don’t survive this unless we rebuild networked journalism. Like we don’t and we don’t have real chief technology officers
And we’ll need that
We need a whole cyber civics
But it’s harder and harder to do because no one wants to just do THE THINGS TO DO TEH THINGS

Did I have leftover pizza and kimchi for lunch with an orange for dessert?
Hell yeah, because I am a goddamn adult and I can do what I want!
(No, the kimchi was not ON the pizza, calm down. It was the avocados that were on the pizza and yes, it was delicious.)

What's your daily practice to maintain creativity during these shitshow times?
TBH, I was struggling with this even before the election. I worked through The Artist's Way, but I'm struggling with morning pages now that I've completed the book.

I'll be honest, I've pretty much spent the last 2 weeks working on my other account for the little comic shop where I work & haven't done shit here on my personal account.
In my real life, I'm taking a class on screen printing & I did a one-day class on making hearts out of molten glass. Cheers!

In my self-defense classes I focus on how most people are socially conditioned to follow the norms of a civilized, polite society — and there is a MENTAL SHIFT required to use violence to defend from violence.
I'm reminded of this while watching our elected officials dithering and delaying. 1/

So here's my pitch: if you're a trans, queer, disabled, or otherwise marginalized writer looking for something new and different for your work, reach out to me. Send me a chapter and let me audition my ideas for how I'd produce your book in audio. I NEED to be working right now on queer stuff!!

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have discovered a vulnerability in drug-resistant bacteria: zinc- OR a lack thereof. Depriving bacteria of certain nutrients can cause important physiological changes, rendering them VULNERABLE to antibiotics, INCLUDING those they once resisted! Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️
