I'm here for joy, not doom, not politics.
Reader, editor, quilter, hermit, ignores most dms (but not from Maggie because she has Linus stickers). If you complain about entire generations of humans, I will block you.

PLEASE can't we be more like Canada?!
Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down?
Federal workers aren’t furloughed.
Funding for social services doesn’t dry up.
Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.
It puts the politicians jobs on the line.
They get the budget passed.

I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class. That led to other theater work, to Sid Caesar, to Mel Brooks, and all the rest. All because of one free class paid for by a government that felt the arts were worth teaching.
you ever think about the works progress administration? I sure do. I wish that was a thing now. I would be so glad to contribute my labor to like. A random ass local bridge

Really want y’all to read this one! I call it the little book that could. Launched my career here and in France. Blurbs from legends. Created barrio noir. Got hate for my refusal to put el español in italics. Oh, and it helped me land an agent! Perfect Halloween read.

It was a weird day at work, in no small part because I had to bear witness to people competing in oppression olympics (you know, the: my identity has been more abused/oppressed than your identity games).

It's the time of year again -- time to do your holiday shopping from independent artists. It's more important than ever to support people actually making stuff!
If you're an artist or craftsperson of any kind, please reply to this with what you make and a link to your store and I'll share it!

Baked a pumpkin, made 2 pies, making pear butter in the pressure cooker, roasted some quince in the oven with the pumpkin and have cored them all...now the question remains: what will I do with the quince (so many possibilities!)

Thinking is, or ought to be, a coolness and a calmness; and our poor hearts throb, and our poor brains beat too much for that.
