Books have been banned. Artists have been censored. Writers have been exiled, imprisoned, even killed for their words. Art has always been political… because truth has always been dangerous to those in power. #writersky

You know what I don’t get? People calling their lack of morals a “difference of opinion.” At least have the guts to admit you’re a fascist.

The U.S. is the epitome of what happens when the 1% masters the art of distracting everyone else with shiny things.

Remember, you write to connect, to leave fingerprints on someone else’s soul. #amwriting #writersky #writingcommunity

We impeached him twice. I honestly think at this stage only French way would work.

To an autistic person small talk is like having to watch the same annoying unskippable ad every time you meet someone.

A quick reminder: if you’re trying to debate someone insults don’t count as arguments.

Revising first draft of your manuscript is always like moving furniture. At first, it’s exciting. Then you’re just standing there, exhausted, wondering if the couch was actually fine where it was. #amwriting #writingcommunity

Sometimes being autistic feels like being the only one who sees the invisible details of a situation while everyone else just floats on the surface.

Autistic writers be like: “I want to write a book where the MC is visibly ND.” Then spend 300 pages accidentally masking their traits because that’s how we exist in the world. #amwriting #writingcommunity

Trump is gutting museums and libraries—just like the Nazis did. And if you’re still confused, thinking this is all about “government efficiency”… you’re walking around with eyes wide shut. This is exactly how fascists controlled knowledge, rewrote history, and paved the way for authoritarian rule.

They're going after libraries because education became elitist. And an informed, well-read public is a threat.

Nothing like the “pro-life because we need to save the children” crowd actively trying to destroy kids with policies that cut their access to food, healthcare, affordable housing, and education. Tf you need lunch in school? Get born, then get lost.

To the person on threads who said authors shouldn’t get political—sorry if us speaking up about not being Nazis bothers you. It should. That’s literally the whole point.
I don’t think fascists are the audience for our books, and if they are, we’ve failed as authors.

The whole point is to keep us poor, uneducated, scared, unhealthy, and divided. Only then are we the easiest to manipulate.

If the “woke virus” Elon keeps talking about comes with symptoms like compassion, empathy, human rights, kindness, equity, justice, and critical thinking, then I sincerely hope it becomes the next pandemic.

One time I did the laundry, and all my husband’s underwear came out pink because I washed it with my hot pink sweatpants. Needless to say, I haven’t been asked to do laundry since. It’s been 17 years🤣🤌🏻

“What kind of husband goes grocery shopping with his wife?”

A real man. A confident, intelligent man who knows that carrying a grocery bag doesn’t threaten his masculinity—or castrate his ego.

How can writers not be political? Our world view bleeds into everything we write. The two are literally mutually inclusive.
January 24, 2025 at 4:59 PM
It’s so easy to manipulate people when you teach them to hate something or someone. That’s literally how fascism works.
