A year ago, I came up with the phrase Doom Dopamine: the unconscious reward we give people for spreading doom.
Take a minute to like positive posts.
Cause when alarmist content goes viral & positive posts get 5 likes, it engineers our brains to think doom is rewarding & positivity is not. π§΅

Want to start reading Superhero comics, but are intimidated by the massive lore/hundreds of back issues? I got ya.
Here are a few hints:
1. People will kill me for saying this, but the lore doesn't matter (except to folks like me). Or, it matters less than you might think. Don't let it stop you.
What a fucking legend.
RIP.

Iβm so sorry for your lossβ€οΈ
Folks, please donβt tell artists they shouldnβt be making or selling their art right now. For many, itβs how they pay the bills. Art is vital during times like this. ALL ART. Whether itβs a protest sign or a book cover or just a beautiful drawing. Itβs part of the heart of humanity.
What @prisonculture.bsky.social always says is: find the thing you can do and do it. You canβt do all the things. (Or something like that but more eloquent). I remind myself when I feel I should be writing marching observing delivering organizing meeting reporting shopping

If you're a writer, wondering why you should bother writing with the world on fire. It feels like it's not important, I need you to understand that it is.
Even if it is just because it keeps you moving forward? Even if it only brings YOU joy, that gives you energy to fight & survive.

I'm literally crying. The absolute courage of this woman.
We have to be clear about what the Trump Administration is doing: They are taking basic American virtues and freedoms β the ability to speak truth to power and freely β and turning them into crimes. We must see through this.
A lot of replies here (obviously from people not already aware of The Discourse on this point) were genuinely confused variants on "But why, they're right, that's a valid concern." Let me leave a short thread for future readers explaining why that stuff is always unwelcome on here. (1/n)
You can still get a copy of the limited special edition of THE SAINT OF BRIGHT DOORS from Inkstone btw! Signed, numbered, sprayed edges and other fancy touches. Excellent gift for the bookish people in your life (if I do say so so myself) inkstonebooks.com/product/sain...
Do you know what a commonplace book is? Well, among other things keeping one is the subject of this micro-course on close reading! A commonplace book is a fun, easy, low-stakes way to deepen your relationship to reading. Here we go...
If you let them, the horrors will devour you whole. Making space to live and smile is an act of resistance. So is helping others to do the same. If youβre an artist in this time, remember that what youβre doing is part of the emotional support infrastructure. They want you silent. 1/2

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Yearβs Eve. And like RenΓ©e Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
