It’s fascinating to me that our tech dystopia uses the promise of bodily perfection through disembodied semiotics: the AI machine dreams of women who don’t exist so women who exist can try to be women who don’t exist who are hallucinated contortions of women who do exist.

Remember, now more than ever:
If you see someone stealing food (or other necessities like tampons)
NO YOU FUCKING DIDN'T (unless you're offering to buy it for them instead)
Class solidarity starts with NOT BEING A FUCKING SNITCH

So the most powerful man in the world and the richest man in the world clumsily fired a bunch of senior air traffic staff, caused the worst domestic air disaster since 9/11, and then tried to blame black people

I think the world has become a very dangerous place to live, but for all the nazis under a different hat who are dancing at the antics of their criminal overlord, they will find themselves on the wrong side of history. Or at a level they'll understand: fuck around today, find out tomorrow.

The good thing about Bluesky is the ability to easily block. I don't have to engage with racists, fascists and idiots, I can just...block.

I urge everyone reading this to keep your spirits high and to make up your Goddamn mind to be a steel-spined, unrelenting, ultra-resilient, super-charged, motherfucker on wheels.
Toss every thought of, "I can't," out on its ass with such a fierceness that those thoughts wither and die on the vine.

Every writer I know has had someone, if not multiple people, in their life that has told them to be realistic or have a fallback career for when their writing career fails to materialize. Sometimes, that voice even comes from inside you. It's up to you to prove those assholes wrong.

Finished draft 4 of the wip. So, now I have to wittle out 20k or so, tidy up and then off to the appointed structual editor who will, undoubtedly, rip me a new one
