What a ride. Patch personifies hope and determination. These characters will stay with me for a long long time.
Literally generational!

Be soft.
Do not let the world make you hard.
Do not let the pain make you hate.
Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness.
Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree,
you still believe it to be a beautiful place.

The more I use Bluesky, the more I realize the ways Threads fumbled the ball.
Threads’ biggest mistake: not grasping that conversation-centric social media is contemporaneous.
Everyone needs to see things at the same time so they can *engage with each other at the same time*.

You ever read a book, finish it, and just want to sob? Just finished a book with the most gut wrenching ending and now I don’t know what to do except stare at a wall or sleep 😭

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.
