Writer, jewelry artiste, mother, grandmother, cat toy. No guts, no story. NGNM&NFK.
I have three book series of 5, 3, and 2 books. I need at least two TV series to do it all justice.

Casting might be a problem though. Everyone I ever pictured in any roles is already too old. #WritingCommunity
What a year for book adaptations: Wuthering Heights, The Odyssey, Project Hail Mary, East of Eden, the ongoing Game of Thrones-iverse, Sunrise on the Reaping. What’d I miss?

Would you most like to see your own work reimagined as a movie or a TV show?

I wish I could have job security, paid time off for a year, and the ability to turn my life around if I made poor life choices.

If you're innocent of wrongdoing, you don't typically fight against showing your records.
LAPD cops working for ICE contractors off duty — while the department fights to keep its moonlighting records hidden.

That is the accusation now being leveled directly at LAPD leadership after a judge ordered the records turned over.

If only there were some profession or establishment that could objectively state in a headline whether this pervasive sense was based in fact.

Humoring conservatives & acting like they make good points over the last 30 years brought us here. You never have to listen to them for the rest of our lives. It's time to treat career arsonists with the contempt they've earned instead of imagining a fake world where they're reasonable interlocutors

In 9 months, Zohran Mamdani has:

-Secured millions in worker restitution from DoorDash and UberEats
-Launched the first stage of his universal childcare program
-Cracked down on bad landlords
-Balanced NYC's budget without cutting major social services

This is what leadership looks like.

I have yet to see an explanation of why someone who's been grifting and stealing his way through life (just like the daddy he idolizes) needed somebody else to pay for his wedding.
Trump Jr.’s wedding should prompt a reappraisal of the collusion question, as it illuminates what @davidcorn.bsky.social try to convey in the book: Putin has been running an extensive covert action against the US for a decade, and Trump and his crew have both colluded and been complicit.
Time to revisit Trump-Russia collusion
Or better yet, complicity.

#FantasyIndiesSeptember Day 24: What grammar rules do you struggle with? I can't think of any in particular, but there are times when I seem to forget ones I ought to know, like whether to use "who" or "whom". #WritingCommunity

Look goddamnit
It's entirely possible
To eat a plum
And not make a poem about it

The one I just ate
Wasn't even in the
Goddamn refrigerator
Or anything

Sometimes a plum
Is just a plum
You can just eat it
And go on with your life

WHAT
Why are you looking at me
What'd I do now
(looks) oh GODDAMNIT

#FantasyIndiesSeptember Day 22: Your autumn TBR. I don't have seasonal reading lists; I just have one and it's pretty long right now. My current reads are Works of Edith Wharton (on and off), Pan's Labyrinth by Guillermo del Toro, and I just started Primitive People by Francine Prose last night.

New in PN: The blackmail part out loud

"Trump immediately insisted he was 'only kidding.' But that too is a lie — he's already refused to pay promised funds for North Carolina’s relief, FEMA funds to blue states in the wake of disasters, and attempted to use blackmail to swing election results."
The blackmail part out loud
He’s not joking. He’s confessing.

Not all technology belongs in a manuscript. AI should be a tool for structure and continuity, not a replacement for your soul. You are the author, not the prompt. Share this if you value your unique voice.

Tbh, good advice regardless of mergers and media consolidations. Support the weird, small art made by real people.
The best way to fight back against the Paramount/Warner Brothers merger is to support independent artists, journalists, writers, filmmakers, musicians and everyone else who has been walking a very hard path to putting things out into the world.
