You guys, my story about a little girl summoning Satan to save her from cannibal hillbillies took 3rd in the Odd Embers Writing Contest! Last week was really cool, y'all! #oddemberswritingcontest #writersofbluesky

Thanks, John Cena. Truly a legend. And that was the last WWE broadcast I will ever watch unless they stop taking blood money from Saudi Arabia.

First time diving into @writingbattle.bsky.social and, while I didn't make it out of the House rounds, I was only 1 win short. Pretty proud of my little nanofiction!

I enjoy finding quiet places to do some writing, like the courtyard garden of a hotel that I'm not staying at.

I've really thought about it but I keep coming back to the same conclusion: #PinkPonyClub is pound-for-pound the best song that has been written in the last decade. Unapologetic, uplifting, and feels like an anthem that is welcoming everyone to be whoever they want to be. It's Hope distilled.

"The point is, there is no feasible excuse for what are, for what we have made of ourselves. We have chosen to put profits before people, money before morality, dividends before decency, fanaticism before fairness, and our own trivial comforts before the unspeakable agonies of others." -Iain M Banks

Hey, not sure if you've been doing this, but this is a friendly reminder to call your representatives to demand action against the current administration's quest for authoritarianism. Even if you know they won't listen, become annoying as hell and waste their and their staff's time. Wear'em down.

John Cena using 25 years of knowing what fans will do at every given moment in order to make them look dumb and easily manipulated is probably my favorite thing happening in wrestling right now. #TheFansAreTheHeels #wwe #johncena

Sometimes things aren't so bad. Evening walks while listening to podcasts and a stop in a park to read a book are rad. (Yes, I photographed myself looking pensive because I want to remind myself of this on days I forget. 😎)

In order to fix a glitched quest (Simba's quest that gets you the Dreamlight tree), I had to time travel a week. Now I'm punished until I reach that actual day because the game won't advance until we pass it. Can't harvest herbs, no wood spawns, the day doesn't move on for anyone. Sucks. #dreamlight

Watching "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F" and I've never seen a Beverly Hills Cop movie before. Question: Do all of these movies try to find the most creative ways to modify the song "Axel F" in every way possible? I know it's the theme, but the "emotional, sad Axel F for dramatic beats" is a bit much.

I'm back to writing poetry. Sometimes it's the only way I can actually funnel this frustration and helplessness I feel into something positive.

Slowly, but surely, I'm amassing a collection of photos of things that SHOULD NOT BE. Either because of absolutely horrendous marketing or flavors that don't need to live together, I ultimately have to say: WHY?

I get that it isn't actually nachos and salsa-flavored, but is Lunchables really the message we want to send to our loved ones? Nothing says "I love you" like a fake version of the fake lunch you eat when you have no time for anything better.

Dip it in ranch for the full garbage experience.

I-HOPe whoever thought this was a good idea was fired.

I'm gonna be honest: Disney Dreamlight Valley has been my escape from the poison of this country right now. I've actually teared up from some of the beautifully positive things the characters say about life and happiness.

Chiefs vs. Eagles for the Super Bowl again? Yawn. I'll skip it this year because the Chiefs are the new Patriots and I'm tired of watching a fixed league simply because Roger Goodell has a hard-on for Patrick Mahomes.

I've avoided all media today. Instead, I taught my English students, got blood drawn for some labs, and investigated flooring options for OTC's bathroom. I don't need to watch a fascist clown show to know it was a fascist clown show. I'll begin the resistance when it doesn't draw ratings for Nazis.
