FINALLY SOMETHING FOR THE ME

Intrusive memory of tutoring Computer Science majors in essay writing at UC Santa Cruz. 😬

As if small presses and the authors and poets they publish need any further hurdles. Just gutted to hear about SPD.

Well this is going to be a shitshow. The hardest thing to handle as a small press is distribution, and how distributors function, and the schedule by which they pay. SPD folding overnight is going to cost presses you love money. Good time to order a book directly from your favs.

It's always about race. Even when it's about a bridge.

We're a generation deep into the social media age and it has re-socialized people. It's painful to see the human brain tripped to treat horrific images/accidents as on par with fictional scenarios. No add'l care or thought utilized. Wild and reckless, like it's not real ppl.

Oh my word, YES.

I'll never be over these girls, these COVERS--whew! S/O eternal to amazing artist Alex Cabal!

This weekend, dive into the magical universe of A Song Below Water and A Chorus Rises by Bethany C. Morrow🌊

I don't like her for using a blaccent to get famous and then dropping it and calling Serena Williams 'frightening.'

Years ago, the Koch bros were caught privately saying that their policy was not to spend money on worker safety because it was cheaper to settle lawsuits brought by dead workers' families. Now it's acceptable to publicly question whether human life is more important than profits.

The number of times I have said this. The number of times I've asked one of these folks about COINTELPRO because SURELY THEY HAVE FEELINGS ABOUT THAT TOO. (Shockingly no.)

I feel like this is the best takeaway from AwesomeCon this year. If you believe, all your dreams* will come true.

*For the purposes of this post, your dreams = finding a Planet of the Apes funko from the original franchise and you must squeal like a piglet when presented w one.

The courts will rule in the people's favor only enough to dissuade the comfortable from overthrowing them.

I wasn't allowed to get a ride with or go to the home of anyone until my parents met the other parents. I thought this was just common sense until adults were offended that my son couldn't just hop in their car.

Who wanna come pack my AwesomeCon suitcase for me. And finish doing my hair. Also pack my skates, just in case.
