Little update. Mostly been off bsky coz I've had some complications involving fevers, bleeding. It's been a rough six weeks, physically, mentally, emotionally. Would have liked to have rested but I gotta pay for the hospital bills and various tests and medications. Anything you can spare will help.

Vida Cruz-Borja @laviecestmoi.bsky.social · May 23

Hi all; I'm going to undergo a significant procedure later this year (sorry, would rather not disclose) and my husband's health insurance doesn't cover it. We're going to need funds for the care during and after. Any help would be much appreciated:

TC Parker Is Horrific Enough Already (she/her) @tcparker.bsky.social · 1d

Absolutely venerate books as objects if you want to

Nobody has a monopoly on the cultural significance of books. And you're allowed to own, enjoy and find meaning in whatever makes you happy

Suggesting that book collecting is somehow classist really IS the daftest thing I've heard today

I'm back and the highschool kids were fabulous. They brainstormed ideas with pencil and paper and talked abt story ideas, had insightful questions, asked me abt writers block, asked me how to write the middle of books asked what exactly do publishers do? Lol 💀
Girl writing/reading is not dead yet.

Suzan the chalant goth @sillysyntax.bsky.social · 1d

Every day I see articles here about gen Z and Alpha using chatgpt to write and now today I'm off to talk to a grade 12 creative writing class. I think they might let some younger grades watch.
This will probably be my most discerning audience and one of my most important.
Never write off the kids🖤

In which I beg folks to wait until something has been confirmed, reliable sources cited, etc, before sharing widely.

The rise of social media has meant that millions of people are all playing roles that trained media professionals used to play. It's not a role we're equipped for.
