I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

Werner Herzog directing a Maybelline ad: Perhaps she is born with it. What a frightful notion, to be imbued with the fetters of capitalist commodification from birth. It suggests God Himself is a part of our dreadful pattern instead of a refuge from it.

It is worth noting you can get an MFA and be a shitty writer and also not realize you are a shitty writer because you got an MFA. As ever, yoo, you can be a good writer every which way. MFA, no MFA, college, no college, formal instruction, no formal instruction. Etc et al yada yada.

Beginning/very new writers worry about a lot of things. How do I start? What if all my ideas are stupid? What can I do to make my work salable? Should I dig a hole in the woods and bury my computer and then dive to the bottom of the sea & be eaten by starfish? These are all valid questions. But!

There's a great bit in the TIME CHASERS episode of mst3k where the main character is pitching dumb-sounding ideas for stuff you could do with a time machine, and the mst3k guys riff "you could send an egg into the future!" and like every AI application in 2024 sounds like that

Do you think Medusa could stay underwater forever if she used her hair like little snake snorkels? My guess is that each hair snake would probably have its own little respiratory system and it wouldn’t be enough to oxygenate a full Medusa, but this is an important conversation to have

Too real. I coped by basically becoming a social chameleon and taking on whatever identity I thought would help me blend in with the people around me. Only in the last few years have I started to hang on to my own. It's a tough road but it feels great to get there.

Libraries are one of the most radical social institutions we have, because they’re based on the idea that *everyone* has the right to information, for free. It’s also what makes them crucial to democracy. I will never stop yelling about this!
