For anyone who wishes to know me. I'm a writer of fiction and essays who loves interacting with other writers and artists. Here's a novella I wrote, "The Devil's Breath", that I'm especially proud of. Enjoy!

"The Devil's Breath" by Wade Pavlick
Excerpt from letter dated January 13, 1957:… I’ve been haunted from the moment I arrived in this place.  It’s different here, away from the movement in the city. There’s a quiet that I can’t quite gra...

Feel free to do the math on that.

It was a rejection of the entire administration and Dems should see this as a signal to become an actual opposition party. On everything. You don't stop the shutdown. You don't approve another appointee. You do nothing at all. The voters saved you, not the other way around. LEARN TO LEAD.
On a call with reporters, DNC chair Ken Martin responds to JD Vance claiming Dems only won big last night because races were in blue states.

"Well that's bullshit. We won in red counties, blue counties, purple counties," Martin says. And it was all "a rejection of Trump."

This is America
In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

Wow. Thread.
I am so upset.

Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/
To be asked to write about racism only to be racially aggressed in the editing process is a new level unlocked I have to say.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

it’s kind of funny that the New York Times, which is probably at least 50% Ivy League on the editorial side, is one of the primary drivers of contemporary anti-intellectualism, but not really funny in a good way

somebody asked me to elaborate on this: I take inspiration from Ursula k. leguin here. she posited that you can do anything in kid's fiction as long as you weight it with hope. I tend to agree. I think kids aren't experienced or sturdy enough to breathe in hopelessness. teens esp are already there
I also do feel strongly that YA and children's fiction should include some element of hope. but kids experience death, and denying them the ability to see that and work through it in fiction is to lie to them. it's to paint a picture of a world that doesn't exist, where kids don't lose friends
