Landlording shouldn't be a for-profit industry.

I said what I said. Before you get your boxers bunched about "who will manage apartment buildings?" please actually just go look up public and co-op housing.

All landlords do is drive up housing costs. That's it. They provide no social benefit.

DNF @ 28%

I am not having a good time reading STAG DANCE and I feel like this is not the time for me to read transphobia in a variety of forms. I tried but months of going in and out to finish one story (Infect Your Friends and Loved Ones) was the first sign of trouble.

*returned 🇺🇸 STAG DANCE: A Novel & Stories by Torrey Peters (e-book & audiobook narrated by Lee Osorio, Briggon Snow, Eileen Noonan & Pyrrha Nicole) today (24/11)

Community isn’t something you show up to consume. It requires you to contribute, collaborate, and commit-create.

If you want community, you have to be community.

was at a play today and at some point someone was described in a way that linked their bad character to their smell and I thought "Dr Ally Louks I wll always think of you!"

just saw an author whose book I loved has a podcast and when I tell you I'm struggling not to subscribe!!!

might just cull my list before the year is out and then add pods from around the world. send me suggestions --- especially if they're from the Global South!
aside: a friend from another part of the Global South called me out over the weekend for how ~American~ my podcast subscription list is so this holds my number steady as I move things around 😅

oh this looks exciting!!!

(just realised, in trying to subscribe, that it's on the Nerdette feed so good job past me for not unsubscribing when that show ended!)
Delighted to find out my dear friend Greta Johnson, creator of the much missed Nerdette and even MORE missed (by me) Nerdette Recaps GoT with Peter Sagal, has a brand new podcast debuting next month!

Just a reminder that if you want some help figuring out what to do right now, I wrote a book for you. It’s basically organizing 101 with a creative twist!

We also list copy editors :) honestly we should do that in socials too.
@theflytrapmedia.com always lists article editors, and I love them for it.
Yes; and I want to make a different point.

Editors *shouldn’t* be invisible. They should have bylines. YOU DESERVE to know who shapes the stories you read. Editors do that no less than writers/reporters do. Very often, they’re the ones who assigned the piece, not the writer, and who headlines it.

haven't asked in awhile. what's something you read lately that you loved? A book? An article? A poem? A message written across the sky composed entirely of crows?
for every hate read post you do you gotta share 5 things you liked at least bsky.app/profile/crai...
it's always writing y'all hate that travels furthest and fastest here, same as anywhere else

someone taught me this years ago and I still find it useful: if you are writing an email and are worried about sending it along before you've fully drafted and/or edited it, put the word "draft" (or any other word, really) in the "To" section and it will not send until you remove it.

Yep. Also the sheer amount of txt files I have that later became emails is wild. All you have to do is send an email before you’re ready ONCE and you’ll learn your lesson for life.

I know there is a lot to doomscroll right now, but you need to plan some sort of offline activity and go do it.

Walking outside, going to a museum, cleaning your home, taking a nap, cooking some food, buying your favorite pastry; lots of options.

It'll feel better than more time on your phone.
