This interview is incredible! Thank you for your wisdom and openness @stevenspohn.bsky.social
Honored to have @stevenspohn.bsky.social as this month's interview subject for my Substack. He's the maestro of deflecting online bullying, so I asked him to share his experience using wit and wisdom to stand up for himself and others. Thanks, Steve! horriblethings.substack.com/p/interview-...

Your work as an artist isn’t to become the “best.” Release the concepts of achievement and competition.
Rather your quest is to explore the furthest extension of your range of expression. Find the edges and discover what’s there. #art

Disgusted with those who created and ratified the Big Terrible Bill. Shame upon them. This bill will result in devastation. Shame!!

My family has been through some stuff… and we’ve talked a lot about how much our support system (friends and family) helped us. Over the years it’s developed and I’m so proud of my hubby for launching his new Substack where he shares what we’ve learned, and are still learning, about helping friends.
Today I’m launching a Substack called The Friend’s Guide to Horrible Things. It’s a series of short lessons focusing on how to care for friends and family experiencing life’s unpredictable disasters. Check it out, or pass it on if you think it might help somebody. horriblethings.substack.com

“Requires cultural literacy.” Mic. Drop.
People challenging gender norms are not intentionally dressing "ugly," as the original poster suggests, nor are they trying to gain "victim points." They are dressing in a way they find beautiful, but according to a different language. Appreciating that aesthetic requires cultural literacy.

The Trump Administration's forcible removal of Senator Padilla today is un-American and unacceptable. Our elected officials have a right — and a duty — to conduct oversight of President Trump's abuses of power.
As much as the administration wants to silence dissent, we the people won't back down.

Planet recorded hottest year in 2024, broke key 1.5 degree Celsius threshold

LA parents: your kids are probably feeling stress from the fires. My kid asks me about what a “perimeter” is & knows the names of the fires. A random kid told me that if I was checking the Watch Duty map, that there are “no new fires.” Stress manifests in them differently. Extra hugs needed.

A canceled flight, delays, our connecting plane broke down, but still we managed to get home. After hours of waiting w/ strangers, I noticed goodwill & gratitude prevailed among the passengers. We all “earned” the right to be grumpy, but even through exhaustion, chose kindness. #holidaytravel

Travel reminder! Companion restrooms may seem like a great place for a quiet poo, but they’re for people who need a companion or extra space for a mobility device. Just because you don’t see anyone using it when you snag it, doesn’t mean you aren’t depriving someone of a needed facility. Thanks!

If you’re seeking some extra comfort and joy this holiday season, and your ears have 20 minutes to spare, enjoy a Mrs. Claus short story written and performed by Amanda (and produced by me). It’s part lovely lore, part North Pole ASMR, and also on Spotify.
