"Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore. They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?"

Hey Stephen Miller, stop quoting Joseph Goebbels word for word. It doesn’t help your case.

MAY YOU NEVER KNOW THE FEAR OF HAVING YOUR HUMAN RIGHTS CHALLENGED EVERY TIME THERE IS AN ELECTION.
AND MAY YOU NEVER KNOW THE PAIN OF WATCHING LOVED ONES VOTE AGAINST YOUR RIGHT TO EXIST FULLY, EQUALLY AND AUTHENTICALLY.

Capitalists always capitulate to fascism. Maybe the problem is capitalism? I am not surprised that they did this, and I don't know if it is possible for them to grow a spine.

Christian Petersen @iwantyoustudio.bsky.social · Sep 18

Andor, an amazing Star Wars show about fighting fascism, just won 5 Emmys. Now the network that made it has capitulated to fascists.

I haven't felt like this since the 90s when we all knew we had to be careful what we said or the "Moral Majority" would come after you. Even then, we found our own ways around the system to get the message out. We did the same in the 50s. Looks like we need to do it yet again. Connect, speak out.

I don't have the energy to talk about what I don't like. Life is short. I want to focus on what I love and building a better world. There is too much negativity out there, and I don't want to contribute to it.

Charlie Dorsett (they/she) @cedorsett.com · Sep 19

I miss talking about the things I love, but everything feels like a minefield. All media is flawed, and I feel like people want everything to be perfect. I don't want to have to start every episode with 30 minutes of caveats and recriminations. I don't have the energy for this landscape we are in.

Charlie Dorsett (they/she) @cedorsett.com · Sep 19

I feel like this a lot. I feel like such a dinosaur. Next year I will celebrate my 20th year as a podcaster, and podcasting has changed so much, I am not sure I still fit into the medium. Between the trolls and the political purity culture, I have slowed down.

I know I am going to cry through it, but I feel like I need the inspiration from this that it looks like it will give me. Ozzy's music means so much to me. He is and will be missed.

Fiction is not just creating characters, worlds, and stories, it is sharing them with others who need them as much as we do. #writer #writing.

I don't know who else needs to hear this, but I know I needed a reminder. It is hard to be creative with so much going on.

The Case for Making Art When the World Is on Fire | Amie McNee | TED

Making art isn’t self-indulgent — it’s an essential, radical act of creation, says writer Amie McNee. She explores the importance of having a creative practice, whether you’re a long-time artist or an aspiring one, and shows how to move past self-doubt and start expressing yourself. If you’ve ever f

So true. I am at a point in my craft that I am writing and releasing what I want. The market never did anything for me but compromise my vision and cause anxiety. I wish we could make people cherish stories and storytelling again.

I've finished the theme music for the #fictionpodcast. After getting some notes from my friends, I edited it a little. My words, my voice, my music, all coming together to tell my story. This is a thrilling time to be a writer.
