People are struggling. I want us to think about how we're going to help each other hang in there this winter. How are you going to support your friends, co-strugglers, and community as they push through this moment? How can you help people muddle through, materially and/or emotionally?

Just saw someone described as an "ontologist" and now I want Clinical Ontologist to be a job title.
Welcome to the Department of Clinical Ontology. Let's go over your chart. I see that you are. Are you still as you were or are you otherwise? For your case of being, I prescribe becoming.

it's weird to live in a world where a new 'worst thing you've ever imagined' happens at least a few times a month and it's easy to let it all run together and just sort of wash over you and go totally numb to all of it so you don't freak out because you still have to do laundry and go to work.

And, despite the overwhelming prevalence of these auto-immune disorders in women, immunologists take several times longer to diagnose these things in women than men. Who account for a tiny fraction of those affected.

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

The more i learn, the more im convinced that the "Great Recession" of 2008 should be re-classified as "The Great Black Depression."
Why?
Because the 2008 Financial Crisis wiped out more Black wealth than any other single event in American history.
Excluding nothing.

Kiese Laymon's MacArthur Prize video shows him writing. He also talks about the importance of revision. That's we don't hear enough. Revision. And his books emphasize re-reading. 💜👑📚

As someone who worked in the medical industrial complex for decades, I am all too familiar with "mean nurses," so I think it has long been a thing before influencer culture, except when I was working as a ward clerk to pay for my undergrad degree, it was limited to "jokes" at the nursing station! 👀

You know how in every mob movie, the boss wants to "go legit" and become part of the corporate-political power structure?
That happened IRL. There's no line between "organized crime" and Wall Street, Silicon Valley, or the media. Dirty money is everywhere, including the "legal" gambling apps.

5 things to do to get a first draft written before the end of the year
1. Commit to 500 words per day
2. Write a one page outline and no more
3. Toss out the subplot and get the main plot down
4. Focus on dialogue and emotion
5. Don’t let great be the enemy of good.

You come across some slang you can’t understand from a group of which you are not a part.
Should you:
a) harass the members of that group for a definition
b) tell the members of that group their slang is not real language
c) shut the fuck up and keep it moving
d) it’s C! Pick C! Pick C!
