Hey, Stoker folks with work on the preliminary ballot -- does the HWA have links to your work? If not, please make sure to send them links! That way, voters -- like yours truly -- can more easily read it.

Any screenwriters out there? I'm curious if you write your script in format or write and format later. I'm using a screenplay format for live-action scenes in a mobile game, so any thoughts there are also welcome.

A neighbor was taken to a care facility, and her little tortoiseshell kitty was left behind. I can't take her in but I've been feeding her and giving her water every day. No one in the neighbor's family can take her in. Is there anyone in the Inland Empire area that could foster or adopt her?

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

This gave me an idea. I think I'll try keeping a tally of how many times I do this. Maybe when I get out of work and look it, it'll help me realize how much work I did. Or maybe it'll make me stop doing it so much. Or maybe it'll make me quit 🤔
I’m not tired because I worked hard. I’m tired because I had to keep turning my real thoughts into polite and acceptable dialogue all day.

An experienced organizer I really respect once reminded folks "you can't always win, but you can always, always inflict a cost. Those add up."
You cannot match the size and resources of these organizations that are abandoning trans youth and sacrificing trans lives, but you have one advantage they do not: an ability to maintain a relentless focus upon them.
Make it your work, every week, to think about how you can punish them.
