Idk why I’ve come around on tactical optimism lately, I guess I’ve been thinking of what Rudolf Abel says in Bridge of Spies: “You don’t seem alarmed.” “Would it help?”

You're entitled to your despair. But understand that when you catastrophize on social media, you risk spreading learned helplessness. Which is exactly what fascists want, for people to lie down and cry.

I know I hurt some feelings earlier but only part of my family left the lynching capital of the US (still some there), and I'm the oldest of the first generation born after the VRA so I literally can't help but laugh. The Great Migration was a refugee response to socially acceptable terrorism.

There are two elements to the immunity decision that are particularly extreme in a way that many will miss: (1) motive is irrelevant and (2) immune acts are not just excluded from prosecution, they’re excluded from evidence. /1

Tomorrow I move from a house in a rural road of 12 houses to a house downtown. This may be a huge mistake. I was sure no one on the road would murder me, and now there's an entire city to be worried about. This is directed at people who think rural areas are defacto more dangerous for queers.

Y'all are being so overly concerned. Remember when SCOTUS ruled on Citizens United, and everyone was worried that it would critically harm democracy? Or when people said that overturning Roe would lead to a huge health crisis for women? *finger to ear* I am being told to shut the fuck up now

The only two pieces of writing advice I consistently give are: 1. Write worse. Lower your standards as much as necessary to get the words on the page. 2. Finish writing before you start editing. It doesn't work for everyone, but it's the only approach that has ever worked for me.

THEY THREW AWAY SOMEONE'S MEDICAL DEVICE. That is what dentures are, for those who don't have teeth. Aside from the cosmetic aspect, they enable people to do things like EAT much more easily. Being unhoused often results in nutritional deficits & not having teeth compounds those.
