I got a story rejected today, and apparently my fiction writing is so realistic, that they thought it was nonfiction! I've had a couple editors say that too, even though everything I write is 100% made up, not even remotely related to real events in my life. I think it’s a great compliment #writing

The mob mentality around this case needs to STOP. These men everyone is doxxing will sue for defamation and get a nice payout like in the Columbia/mattress case 10 years ago. Jane Doe will be doxxed. If someone is misidentified this is going to destroy every argument for preventing SA

My anger over how and currently #COVID-19 has been handled and treated is long and deep-stemming back to 2020. ESPECIALLY by the research university who was NOT PRACTICING WHAT THEY PREACH. I watched scientists & academics go to public health conferences & come back with covid!

Despite its history of male-domination—from corporate to the lab—many beauty companies have recently been trying to tout “equity”—only after being called out by social media campaigns.

Emma Sulkowicz's actions (defending and dating conservative men) and toxic Twitter behavior in the late 2010s sent an extremely discouraging message to us young feminists. Maybe it was a trauma response, but how do you come off as a feminist icon w/ Trump in office and defend maga??

Yeah, this was an awful time. I had to get police involved three times for threats I received while promoting COVID19 vaccines in 2021. The worst was after I was quoted in the WSJ. Can’t even recall what I said, but it launched a bunch of protonmail missives from feral anti-public health nutters.

With the NHJ article breaking Bluesky, I will say a lot of kids at my college went to Stuyvesant High School but I heard it was a pressure cooker. Those kids were wound up like strings. Gunn High school in Palo Alto's another one. US education seems to be increasingly a bimodal experience.

Hate how society is built around duel income/having someone else support you. Health insurance 3x, since I lost my job; my state added work requirement to Medicaid--can't qualify for SNAP, and only got 1 really scammy job offer in a month. Unemployment only covers 1/2 my monthly expenses.
