Neglect 1/4

What does neglect mean to you? The dictionary describes it as a failure of taking proper care over something. The most common neglect you'll see on a day to day basis is plant care.

Neglecting to water. Neglecting ample sunlight, or humidity. Neglecting to prevent pests, or disease.

But what does neglecting a person mean? On its surface it can mean basic needs... food, water, shelter. Which can all be physically painful.

Also had another lady scoff at my GNs and say she wants her kids to read real books with more words. :')

Joanna Cacao 🎄 @jocabako.bsky.social · 27/10/2024

Some lady asked if I used AI in my books and I was so appalled, but she kept going saying things like "you ever just put copy style blah blah?" as if this is the norm and I kept responding "no, never. I would never." It was so uncomfortable. How could anyone ask that of a creator...

Just finished: The Secret Of the Ravens (middle grade graphic novel, yes I read lots of these) by @jocabako.bsky.social. Fun fantasy adventure about a kingdom where ravens have been gamified into flying quest givers, but why? Ends on a cliffhanger that's got me interested in reading more. #kidlit

Cover of The Secret of the Ravens by Joanna Cacao. Tween twins stand back to back, an unkindness of flying ravens in the foreground.
