i should be allowed to read research papers instead of doing my job [remembers that 'researcher' is a type of job] they should make researchers that are paid more than three dollars per year

I'm not gonna quote post that estrangement article doing the rounds cos I ain't giving them the metrics but part of being in queer community is knowing a lot of people who are estranged from family. None of them broke contact for trivial reasons.

yeah maybe no platforming any conversation where accepting disrespect is the price of admission might work as another rule of thumb

See also: anthonymoser.github.io/writing/rhet... Basically IMO doing the breakdown is still vitally relevant IF AND ONLY IF it happens at the right level. And most people are not doing that most of the time

someone said this in the reposts already, but i wonder where the rhetorical equaivalent of no-platforming comes in? have we not passed the point where breaking down the opponents argument just takes up too much air and time, & you just need to say your own argument quickly, well, and hope it lands?

We gotta start referring to data centers by both their mother and father's last names, Spain style. The Microsoft-Chevron data center, the Meta-ExxonMobil data center, and so forth. Absolutely no reason just the tech bros should be taking the heat on this shit

today i've written ~170 words for the novel extract (need to get up to 5k for a competition, we're a bit over a thousand and it's due 21st, wish me luck lol) yet to journal but will do that today as well as any stream writing.

trying to work out if i should stream: a) some researching of new ideas for blogs/videos (at the moment the loss of dark skies is on my mind, and sewing robots, but maybe other stuff will come up!) b) research AND trying to write c) just reading out some older blogs and ad libbing on em

does anyone around here write creatively every day? trying to do it for at least all of september and partly also as i'm reading positive obsession (biography of octavia butler) and it was her advice for writers too. i've been journaling daily for ~133 days but creative writing is harder to crack.

Sweet, strange uncitizens: ONCE I WAS MADE OF EARTH is here, an epic fantasy that's been ratling in my brain for years now and that I'm putting out into the world serially outside of the capitalist publishing apparatus. Share, and read, and comment. archiveofourown.org/works/91618061

The painting "The Moment" by James Warden, with the text "Once I Was Made of Earth" on it by Rivers Solomon. The painting is in the romantic style, quite dramatic and dark in tone if not colour, with a horse rearing with fear in its eyes as a snake launches to bite it, against a back drop of pink and blue mountains.
