Language really does shape the world. If you care about art, stop using words like “creator” and “content.” It actively devalues what we do. Martin Scorsese is now called the same thing as a TikTok influencer. Words mean things, and language matters. Outrageous

Most writing advice is actually *not* helpful! I’m thrilled that some of you can write every day, but my brain simply refuses. I’m actually quite alarmed at how much writing advice is just “suck it up and do it” without practical tips for neurodivergence or self-compassion.

Nina Simone's version of Someone to Watch Over Me. What I love besides the music is that I think she's wearing a swimsuit, immaculately styled as she always was. And I know she loved to swim for exercise and mind clearing. She was watching over herself.

Ted Murphy is a resident of East Palestine, Ohio.
Ted lives right near the fallout site and moved his mother immediately after the derailment, but before the explosion.
Sunday after the derailment, he came back to her insulin and encountered the chemical fallout. His skin later became red "like he had fell asleep on Myrtle Beach all day" and his lymph nodes became sore.
"I inhaled that air and I thought I was going to frickin' die. I almost wrecked my fri**in' truck," Ted said. "The road looked like a wet ribbon."
"I'm not moving back into my house. I just got done doing all that work on the inside of it."
"I just bought all new appliances, new furniture, new beds. I made my mom a brand new home. Now I gotta leave. It ain't right."
"The creek is dead. You go and step on rocks now and there's oil that comes out around the rocks."
"Dead newts. Dead lizards. Dead salamanders. Dead fish. Dead snakes. Dead frogs. Everything in that creek is dead."
"I gotta find somewhere to live!" Ted added.
"I'm not worried about money. I'm worried about my health. I'm worried about all my nieces and nephews health."
"I want to be here long enough to see my grandson grow. That's about the most important thing in my life."

Turned my poem "Christmas Vacation is a Die Hard Movie" into a Christmas card.

I didn’t know Louboutin and Louis Vuitton were different entities until like last week, I just thought people were just saying “Louis Vuitton” real fast and it came out like “Louboutin” 😔

Also gotta love the predictable hypocrisies on cue.
“We came to Cuba looking for *opportunity* and all we got was this woke identity politics bullshit.
Anyway, my stories are about the liminal Cuban masculine iden—I mean, the human experience! No identities here.”
Y’all got TRICKED
(In a good way)

Hi. Just reminding you all again that cops killed a 15 year old kidnapping victim a few days ago. They’re working hard to make this child look like her kidnapper’s violent accomplice, even implying she went with him willingly after he killed her mother. #SavannahGraziano
