hi, are you doomscrolling? This website continues to be full of bad opinions and will still be here tomorrow. You still deserve time to rest and recover.

A political comedy I wrote more than a decade ago *consistently* gets produced every two years, guess why broadwayworld.com/jacksonville/a…

I've struggled with what to say about #antisemitism right now. I don't know if these are the right words, but here are some words: link.medium.com/n6wwNbWLrub

Going on hiatus until at least Halloween. At which point I'll change my name back to my real name. Especially since I missed the memo that no one's doing Halloween names this year. SEND ME THE MEMOS.

Kid1's hamster died. We buried him this morning. Kid2 had an allergic reaction, projectile vomited everywhere (fine now). Black birds are circling our house (hopefully not to eat hamster corpse). So far: Pet Cemetery, The Exorcist, The Birds. WE GET IT #HALLOWEEN CALM DOWN

Some folks love to rag on #NaNoWriMo these days, but it's been such a terrific kickstarter and entrypoint to novel-writing for so many writers - me, included. Don't yuck the yum, y'all. And to everyone cranking out words this month, good luck! Right there with you 😉

Wow. I'm seeing the followers-decrease, the vitriol increase, and also I feel like 90% of my newsfeed is now Musk, and I don't even follow him... 🙄 Weighing my options but likely exiting this platform soon. What are other #WritingCommunity folks thinking?

... I am not sure I want to stay on Twitter but I am also not sure I could ever join a social media app where you share "toots" ... "Mastadon toots" sound especially heinous

Schools are closed for #ElectionDay so I took my kids to a nature class with an adjacent coworking space & the new young teacher, looking mortified, just brought me my 2yo: "um... this is... this is some serious poop" and if that doesn't sum up election day

11k Meta workers laid off, 3.5k Twitter workers laid off... that's a lot of suddenly-unemployed social media folks angry at the overlords, please point me to the coming Rebel Alliance platform
