It is very funny to watch the first Wicked movie with some very heterosexual people and realize that they see ZERO queerness.
And by funny I mean sad.

The world needs young people who are engaged with the world. Who speak out through art & music. Who tell the truth with art & music. Dictators throughout history have known that art is dangerous to them.
And that's why, as I said in the post, making art (of any kind) is more important than ever.

Thanksgiving this year was just my parents and my sister and her family (except for her son who is with his dad aka the ex husband). We did a buffet at a restaurant which was actually really nice since no cooking and no cleaning. The downside is no leftovers to snack on for the next few days.

It’s a bear. Finding the right rendering style for the fur took me a while, but I‘m so happy how it turned out.
It’s one of the patreon stickers for this month and will also be a print later.

More than 1,800 banned titles in the 2023–2024 school year contained sex-related content. In a new interview, bestselling YA author @malindalo.bsky.social explains the necessity of reading those works in full before considering pulling them from shelves: pen.org/malinda-lo-i...
Uneasy About Sexual Content in a YA Novel? ‘Read the Whole Book,’ Urges Author Malinda Lo
“That’s why there is sexuality in my books: because it is part of life. There’s no nefarious purpose,” says author Malinda Lo.

If writing is so easy why do people argue that they can’t do it without the pablumatic verbiage extruder
And if it’s so difficult then why do people think it’s not labour and writers are not workers

Do I go to the write in today in the midst of this icky weather and reward myself with Panera soup? Or do I sequester myself inside to write on my own with cozy blankets and hot chocolate? I can’t decide…

I always knew it existed, but it’s distressing to see people begging for the equivalent of foot bindings for their minds and hearts, and using LLMs as the excuse.
Imagine not realizing how much great writing has been birthed from the irreconcilable need to tell someone or something to eat shit.

Saw a post today that advised writers to stop writing as if a human will read it and start writing for an LLM that will be summarising.
As someone who really enjoyed trying to develop a peculiar but readable authorial voice, I find this incredibly depressing.

You don't owe anyone an explanation or apology today for what you like, what you want, or who you are.
Remember there is power in leaning into what makes you, you. Remember & reconnect to what turns you on-- for real, not what "should" light you up according to "them."
