You do not have to accept repeat Covid infections as inevitable.
Mitigations work. Layers work best.
Get your booster. Clean & ventilate the air. Test and stay home when sick.
Perhaps most important of all, wear a well fitted N95.
It protects you & those around you. Community care can save us!

No single photograph -- not even the Napalm Girl photograph -- could change the course of the war. And if you talk to Americans today, the true cost of Vietnam to them is American lives lost, not the horror that was inflicted on the Vietnamese.

I don’t want to “streamline” my writing. I don’t want to “increase my output.” I don’t want to “write a novel with one click.” I want to write stuff only I can write. I want to read and write novels with soul and heart and a unique voice. Fuck AI. Long live real writers.

Hi again! This local trans person (who I was just hanging out with and can vouch for) just posted an update to her GFM.
Good news: she has two promising job interviews!
Bad news: she really needs help with June rent so she doesn't get evicted before she can line up a job.
Please help if you can!

I can never advocate for the "write every day" advice. I think every writer should have a day during the week where they engage in the enjoyment of experiencing art in lieu of creating it.

Writers: before you sign a contract with a publisher, make sure AI isn't replacing your illustrator, your translator, your editor, your jacket designer. Readers: if you're thinking of buying a book, do the same. Refuse. Resist. If AI garbage doesn't sell, people will stop making it.

READ: “I pretend I’m full so my kids can eat.”
Inside Gaza, parents are skipping meals, scavenging for firewood, and waiting hours in line for a single gallon of water — all while famine tightens its grip. t.co/UjJAxLtLRt

Graphic design is clearly not my passion but writing is! I’m stoked to announce that I’ve been accepted to the @lambdaliterary.org writers’ retreat this summer, and I’m currently fundraising tuition. It’d mean a lot to me if you check out my fundraising page or share this post.

It’s important to pay attention to the fact that there are simultaneous efforts to criminalize mask-wearing by citizens and to standardize the wearing of face-obscuring gaiters by people purporting to be law enforcement.

Nighttime reminder:
It’s okay to rest. You’ve made it through the day, and that’s enough. You’re allowed to log off, breathe deeply, and just be. No goals, no pressure.
Let the quiet settle in. Wrap yourself in softness, whatever that means for you.
You deserve peace tonight.
