Sometimes when my cat is sitting on my chest, I’ll reach over and pet my husband, just to watch the righteous indignation cross her little cat face 🐈.

The X platform now has a new tool that promotes scrutiny about the origin of X accounts.

I've noticed lately that more trolls are invading Bsky. This same feature that X has so members can check an account's country of origin would be super helpful to weed out the bad guys from causing harm here.

Doing something different for Thanksgiving this year. I love turkey (especially sandwiches made from leftovers), but @keladewig.bsky.social isn’t a fan.

So, this year I’m smoking a brisket. First brisket on the Searwood, and first full packer brisket.

Fingers crossed.

We are not in a war. Killing soldiers on a street corner in D.C. is an act of war only if you are a legitimate combatant. Calling it terrorism is charitable; it is simply murder. It is also what I've been worried about for weeks. Soldiers on the street can't police. All they do is present a target.

If you're wondering about the sort of person who becomes a writer, for 3 years every day I have played chess with this one person and for 3 years I have lost every day and every day I go back for another go because this time could be the charm, it could happen, you never know

Editing is frustratingly slow sometimes. An hour to get one paragraph right. And it is statistically probable I'll end up deleting it at some point in a future edit. I just keep reminding myself that this is why more people don't write books.

If inflation comes up at the dinner table, don’t forget to draw attention to a deeper structural driver of high prices: corporate power.

Much of the food industry is dominated by a few corporate giants with the power to keep prices high because they face little competition.

MFW I finish a commission and scroll waaay back to the original negotiation, and realize I undersold myself yet again. In this case, they were generously expecting to pay me much more than I had assumed, months later, when drawing it. I gotta quit devaluing my efforts.

Ever since writing a story years ago, I get marketing emails from a Texas ostrich meat distributor. And you know, I've grown to love the slightly plaintive quality they take on around Thanksgiving

Rightwingers are expressing their violent tendencies because decent Americans want their US military members to follow the US Constitution and not a criminal with a voracious need to break every law.

I stand with the Constitution, and I will always support those who defend it.

While the right lose their goddamn minds about a lone wolf doing something horrendous in DC today, let’s not forget that last week in the White House they all gushed over a genocidal, journalist murdering tyrant whose country financed 9/11.

My landlord evicted me during the pandemic. Anyway we both work in the same small industry that centres around a mailing list you basically have to be on to operate. Guess who's an admin. Guess who just applied to join. Guess who just got silently rejected.

I sit down to a read a book I'm very excited about, now that I've decided to slow down with writing.

I get through 10 pages before I get restless and put it down, because reading good writing makes me want to write *my* book instead.

My brain has betrayed me.

It costs so little money to buy one book. And if you can’t afford the book, ask your library to get it.

Today's random #Lovember #WritingPrompt for the #WriteSky #WritingCommunity:

Is there a book or writer you love who has NOT really inspired anything in your current work(s) and/or whose oeuvre doesn't really have anything to do with your current focus?
An eclectic love of yours?
