I always appreciate you, Nessa. Hope you're doing well. I need to be more present here because I miss talking to you.

Maybe when I'm dead, someone will find one of my books in a used bookstore and be like, "This doesn't suck."

I never really know unless I am following prompts. Sometimes, it can be the most random of things. Others, it could be a song or a movie. I wrote a couple recently that were inspired by the movie Before I Disappear.

Elon Musk Leads Campaign To Force Netflix To Remove Shows With Trans Characters Musk's posts have been seen by tens of millions of users, and many conservatives are now attempting to force Netflix into a removal of LGBTQ+ content.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

I'm done here. I don't want to be here in the morning. I don't want to see what horrible thing comes next. I'm over it all. How do we just go on every day and pretend like all of this dictator shit is fine? Do we just acquiesce? Fuck it all. I hate everything.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Meme in the style of a bookplate saying: I fully intend to read all the books I've purchased and am on schedule to do it by my 592nd birthday.

I don't know what to read.

I think I might have not enough books... πŸ˜‚

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

One thing I will never, never, never do is grovel for a fucking featured slot at any poetry reading. It means shit to me. I'm happily an outsider.

That's a fair assessment. Or perhaps, there are new levels of grief from fresher pains. It just feels continuous to me because...it's just always there.
