I’m really good at writing dialogue and also character development! I’m really proud of these skills.

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

This set of observations is produced by my scrolling Reddit and otherwise listening to people talk about "how to write."

A) there is no requirement that any of your characters has any sort of "arc" let alone a redemption.

B) there is also no requirement that your fiction has a plot.

The final Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. The entire page is mostly white as they're in the winter snow. The pair is walking with a sledge, nicely duffled in in scarves, hats, gloves. Calvin delightedly exclaims 'wow, it really snowed las night! Isn't it wonderful?'. Hobbes follows up with 'Everything familiar has disappeared! The world looks brand-new!' -- A new year... a fresh, clean start!' adds Calvin. As they look over the landscape, Hobbes observes 'it's like having a big white sheet of paper to draw on!' -- 'A day full of possibilities!' Calvin affirms. They get ready on their sledge and Calvin tells his friend 'it's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy... let's go exploring!', and the pair sledges off into the wintery landscape.

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.

The full Weiss memo is dogshit
-who cares if administration figures “regret” sending people to CECOT
-who cares about the criminal histories of the people we sent to CECOT, we sent them to a torture prison
—who cares about the “debate” over the legality of sending people to a torture prison

Corduroy overalls are the best. I also have a pair of dark purple corduroy overalls, but I can’t sew so my pair is not handmade and thus they are way less cooler than yours.

I can’t think of another example off the top of my head but I do feel very strongly about chapter titles being super interesting and compelling! I think all books should have them. Maybe that’s a hot take. I stand by it.

The best of the city!!

Figures that the first significant blow to the Democrats since Tuesday would be dealt by Chuck Schumer.

This is why you do not give into bullies.

They can take the train. Putting our healthcare on the chopping block is not an option.

People deserve food. They also deserve healthcare.

Call your senators immediately. I’ll called both of mine and neither of them answered like the spineless cowards that they are. CALL THEM ANYWAY.

Primaries for senators

😂 they are the main character in their world

OK next crit group meeting you and @ktlyn.bsky.social can teach me how it’s done!!!

I don’t think it’s weird, but maybe impressive. Keeping you in mind to ghostwrite these scenes for me 😂. Also I do find them compelling to read if the scenes are executed well.

It’s definitely harder! Especially if the character is less self-aware.

Cheney died, Zohran won, Cuomo lost, and BDB wore a “hot girls for Zohran” tee lmao so wins all around.

Now I just want to make character sheets of all of my characters’ minor accessories 😂

I am a lawful plotter and I do, in fact, know what kind of socks all of my characters are wearing at any given time. Frankly, I know too much.

shoutout to everyone trying to sedate their pets tonight

zohran my beloved!!
