The cruelty is the point. The banal, vicious, performative cruelty. Turns out ‘anti-woke’ just meant anti-decency, anti-humanity & anti-rule of law.

HELLO WRITERS
I teach creative writing. Arguably a topic with really no organic connection to the moment. Some students think so. But isn’t the erasure of swathes of words from current use in vast sections of life touched by Feds an issue for writers? It is, of course. Language always is. 9/

Unsolicited writing advice, no. #766: Writing is a community. Participate in it if you can. Engage with other writers. Lift them up, and they’ll do the same. Try to go it alone, or treat other writers as rivals, and you’re more likely to sink than swim.
