Thanksgiving is problematic. Giving thanks is not. As someone who wants to remember the attempted genocide of indigenous people but also likes a reminder to practice gratitude, I like to use Indigenous People's Month to support (and be grateful for) indigenous creators. A partial list! /1

1 chapter. 1 chapter separates me from finishing my novel. To put it into perspective: I haven't FULLY finished writing a novel since about 2020. This is a big deal for me.

The idea that you should be *there* by now is an illusion.
There is no *there*.
Just moments of arriving, over and over, into deeper versions of yourself.

Most people don’t know that with SNAP you are banned from buying “foods that are hot at the point of sale”. So even if you have SNAP (which people don’t now) you can’t get cooked food. Which means you need to also actually have the resources to PREPARE a “healthy” meal.
Thinking about the social stigma against eating fast food in a country where poor people are being starved by the govt, the cost of groceries and fresh vegetables are astronomical, and a cheeseburger at McDonald’s costs $3.50.
“Clean” and “healthy” eating rhetoric is racist, ableist, and classist.

as a writer, you meet two types of hopefuls: people who like to write and people who want to be writers. It's the former who actually succeed – you need to love this, not as a means to an end but for itself entirely.
Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.

One of the most important provisions of the ACA was eliminating pre-existing conditions exclusions from insurance plans.
Folks need to be reminded that if the ACA goes away, so does that provision.

CALL YOUR DEMOCRATIC SENATORS NOW
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

These famed Second Style frescos from the Villa dei Misteri in #Pompeii are thought to portray a bride’s induction into an ancient mystery cult before her marriage. Given the presence of Dionysus and his retinue, many believe that cult is the Dionysian or Bacchic Mysteries. 🏺

Feeling more and more thankful I grew up before the internet was omnipresent, when we spent most of our time watching old movies on cable or browsing encyclopedias and accidentally acquiring a level of literacy that will cause future generations to think us wizards.

Right now I find myself a bit afraid, because I don't know if bad news is coming my way. Being vague for now, but I honestly don't know where to go from here if it is the worst.
