Buffistas

On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Woohoo, dcp!

I'm attending the SFWA Nebula Conference online this weekend, and it's serving as a sort of useful kick in the pants for making me think whether I still really want to be a writer (yes) and what I need to do to make that an active reality again (go back to treating writing as a side hustle like I used to before the Great Burnout of 2015-16, only with more self-care to prevent repeat burnout, and find a new critique group so I can share my work with people regularly because a big and needed part of my motivation is to feel like I'm telling a story TO somebody).

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

That’s great, dcp!

My interview on Thursday went well, but I got a bad vibe from the city. I don’t think I want to live or work in Muskegon. Luckily I have a lot of other applications out there.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Good to know that, I guess, Calli. Hope something better crops up sooner than later

Go Susan, I am rooting for you!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

If they try to federalize the nat'l guard everywhere before next Saturday we'll really be in it.

Thing is, these protests are SMALL. It's like a couple hundred people maybe, at the Home Depot?

There were more yesterday at the ICE building in DT. But still not that many. This isn't an insurrection, and even LAPD isn't doing more than keeping people away from the ICE teams.

But TFG wants more, so he's calling up the CA National Guard, so he can START something.

I hate this country right now. Ugh.

Also hate: I had one migraine in almost three months…and then today, last Saturday, and the Saturday before, had to take meds and waste most of the day trying to feel better. wtf body. Do not appreciate.

I suspect he knows there are big protests coming and he wants to scare people away from them.
