Elizabeth Deanna Morris Lakes @exclamate.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I had book club today, and one of my friends is so beautiful but her MOTHER told her she wasn't as a kid so I am righting the world by flirting with her constantly. Anyway today she said as ankid she was loud and people would tell her mother "You're so quiet but your daughter is a bell." 130
Elizabeth Deanna Morris Lakes @exclamate.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I have listened to Lost Weekend as god intended in a hotel queen with Kenny to my right and Elliott in the bed to my left between 2:40 and 3:33 am because I couldn't sleep. It is a masterpiece. 000

Elizabeth Deanna Morris Lakes @exclamate.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Last night, one of Elliott's friends smiled at me and said, "You're like a mom to everyone!" So I guess I have succeeded afterall. 030
Elizabeth Deanna Morris Lakes @exclamate.bsky.social · 11/03/2026Just putting it out there if we get another world-wide pandemic in July of 2027 I will actually lose my mind. 000
Elizabeth Deanna Morris Lakes @exclamate.bsky.social · 03/03/2026Also sorry, people also seem to not know how CONFERENCES work either. Like AWP is the cheapest conference that I or my coworkers attend and it's ALSO THE LARGEST. 100
Elizabeth Deanna Morris Lakes @exclamate.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Ah my favorite time of the year: people talking about AWP critically with great confidence despite having zero idea how AWP or nonprofits in general work. 110

That rumor, 'You can’t fight City Hall,' is circulated by City Hall. Facing the realities of our lives gives us the motivation for action, it gives us the power to change. You are not powerless." 01293492
Elizabeth Deanna Morris Lakes @exclamate.bsky.social · 10/01/2026I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but this wasn't made with "under $500." It was made by fully stealing every single thing, including every angle, every motion, from actual real movie born from the brilliance of Hayao Miyazaki and, on top of that, that was *hand drawn.* 100

Elizabeth Deanna Morris Lakes @exclamate.bsky.social · 21/11/2025I told Elliott I loved her, and she said, "And I love you too! And why wouldn't i?" 000

Elizabeth Deanna Morris Lakes @exclamate.bsky.social · 02/11/2025My brother's friend died 2 weeks ago. B's birthday party was Saturday after & I gave him a wood carving kit. He texted me earlier this week the little bear he carved. I'm sure he used it to distract himself from being so sad & sometimes I feel like maybe I am a useful sister that actually can help. 000
Elizabeth Deanna Morris Lakes @exclamate.bsky.social · 30/10/2025Nothing has surprised me more than raising my child without any explicit religion & her almost immediately making one up herself. Like tell me why we saw a pick up truck & she started bowing her head with her hands clasped because she was "praying to Grandpa Bob" because he "had a pick up truck." 110

Elizabeth Deanna Morris Lakes @exclamate.bsky.social · 24/08/2025If I were terrible, I'd be like, "Cat distribution system? How about we have such an overpopulated feral cat population that cats are suffering outdoors in abundance." (If you find a cat and you love it, what a marvel and joy.) 000
Elizabeth Deanna Morris Lakes @exclamate.bsky.social · 18/08/2025I am so sick and tired of people trying to neutralize GenAI by saying, "It's a tool," as if that absolves it of harm that was used to create it and the harm it is perpetuating. ESPECIALLY if they compare it to a CALCULATOR. 000

Elizabeth Deanna Morris Lakes @exclamate.bsky.social · 01/07/2025I think part of the reason we're all so obsessed with Pedro Pascal is because he seems like the kind of man who would punch someone to protect you but then genuinely weep about it later because he hated that he had to be violent. 120
