Writing "wisdom" I hate: WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW. This is the worst advice ever. It would be better if it was KNOW MORE SO YOU CAN WRITE ABOUT IT. Every good writer I know is constantly researching and getting new information and asking experts. It's a terrible bit of advice!

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

By A Horse

Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food.

I am thinking I would like to try cake.

Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape.

Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy.

Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much.

I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on."

Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

witches 🌸💜 (drawn by a trans woman, if you wanna support an other world of witches & wizards than a certain one)

Colored piece, drawing of a woman in modern clothes, jean shorts,t shirt, barefoot, with a crown of thorns on her head, wielding magic, giant flowers with an eye at their center in the dark background

Color piece, drawing of a witch floating in the night sky, surrounded by glowing purple/pink swords she just summoned, a real giant rapier hovering next to her, her long curly hair almost wrapped around its blade
She has roses and thorns tattooed on her right upper arm, glowing magical patterns on the left one, a white tank top, skirt, tight with floral patterns, no shoes, and a fierce expression on her face
Pink moon and purple clouds in the background

color piece, drawing of a young, curvy witch sitting on the floor on a glowing green pentagram or magic sygil of some sort, she's surrounded by plants and flowers and darkness, and skulls with their ribcage and spines are floating next to her, a green flame on their forehead
the witch wears a pink/orange/salmon crop top, a transparent fluid skirt with plant patterns on it, glasses, necklaces and earrings
her hair is tied in a loose bun
she has flowers and eyes tattooed on both shoulders/arms, also more plants on her left upper thigh and hip

Drawing of me as a witch floating in the night sky, wielding necromancer magic, holding a skull, wearing a witch hat, spiderweb pattern tights, a jean jacket, fishnet top, big goth shoes

for over 3 weeks, I've spoken to ICE watchers and organizers across the country: first right after Renee Good's killing — then 2 weeks into my reporting, Alex Pretti was killed. ICE watchers are being detained and harassed — but they're also stopping ICE abductions and inspiring others to join them
