“I feel like a newborn baby,” she says. Know that she’s right. She’s a new version of herself now and there’s no going back. Grief is a place you can’t travel to without being transformed."

Reminder: Sure, the student protestors turned out to be right about Vietnam, and gay rights, and apartheid, and the Latin American dirty wars, and the invasion of Iraq -- but *this time* they are cluelessly naive and only protesting to look cool to their friends.

I’m suddenly being tagged in several fundraisers by people I don’t know and haven’t interacted with… is this a widespread bsky thing? What is happening? (I chip in on mutual aid things that come across my feed sometimes, when I can, but don’t want to get spammed…)

“Is it technically fascism?” “Is it technically rape?” “Is it technically genocide?” Remarkable the smug ease with which so many people have replaced moral inquiries with semantic ones.

Not necessarily. I did multiple research trips for my memoir before I sold it. Self-funded, which was part of why it took me over a decade to finish the book!

Yiddish lesson of the day. If you're Jewish and your friends, family, or community are attacking your Jewish identity for wanting a ceasefire in Gaza, just repeat this handy phrase: "אױב דו מיינסט מיר אַזאַ שלעכטער ייִד, לערנ מיך עפּעס תורה!" (Oyb du meynst mir aza shlechter yid, lern mich epes Toyreh)

You all know how much I love an interior design fail, but today we're talking about interiority design fails (i.e., the troubles writers face when trying to get inside a character's head). I wrote about eight common mistakes, including Gazing Out the Window Syndrome and the Cardiopulmonary Trap.
