“In Ava’s vision of the film, my character, this woman who roamed a rural landscape for weeks with fake blood painted on her face, was the victim of a car accident.”

Almost a full year out from graduating with my MFA, and today I'm finally back to teaching creative writing: a twelve-person fiction workshop at my local community center! All adults, all excited to try a new hobby. What are the best writing exercises/essays/stories you've used for a beginner class?

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

RFK jr would kill so many people if he could. He’d kill them by taking away SSRIs, by taking away MMR vaccines and Covid vaccines and flu vaccines and polio vaccines and tetanus vaccines, he’d kill them by them by taking away the Gardasil vaccine, a would-be mass murderer with a worm in his head

Yeah so the Constitution isn’t really in effect right now

Next time you worry you’re taking up too much space, I want you to remember that there are grown ass men on public transit in the middle of the day who take up two seats, play their music out (obnoxiously) loud, and drink hard liquor from a plastic water bottle. You and your tote bag are fine.

So far I’ve resisted the urge to call three people in Facebook comments losers today, so I deserve a little treat.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.
Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”
We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

In news that doesn’t make me feel like the world is ending - we went to the canal and had a beer poke. What is a beer poke, you ask? It is a stout (delicious) that gets poked with a hot rod (really) making it even more delicious. @thomaseckert.dev and I are both fans!

this is truly despicable.
J.D. Vance uses DEI to cover for a potentially white male pilot being at fault: "When you don't have the best standards in who you're hiring, it means, on the one hand, you're not getting the best people in government, but on the other hand, it puts stresses on the people who are already there."
Hesgeth and Vance use the Washington D.C. airliner-helicopter crash to make anti-diversity, equity and inclusion points, suggesting it was to blame for the collision.
The Vice President didn't even open his remarks by referencing the victims or families - just straight into anti-DEI points.

Rooting for the dictator that he and other Christian nationalists have called for - a President who answers to no one.
