some months back I signed up to do a drag competition in December as Timu Curry. I had one Tim Curry number planned but I'm thinking of throwing out my other and doing I'm Going Home.

If you had $1 Trillion dollars, and you spent $27 Million per day for 100 years, you’d still have $13.8 Billion left. If you had $13.8B, you could spend $350k per day for 100 years, and have more $1B left. If you had $1B, you could spend $27k per day for 100 years. It’s obscene.

I read some words by Cory Doctorow when I was but a wee squatter girl writing bad zines: what an artist should fear isn't piracy. It's obscurity. Those words stuck with me and have served me well.

Don't steal my books from local bookstores. That IS like stealing from an individual. Not me, but the person or people who work hard to keep books alive in our culture.

Saw a bit of booksky discourse of authors saying "if you pirate my books, you are stealing from me." So I'll just say: "if you're pirating my books, I don't really care that much." I came up writing zines and the whole point was copying and it was cool and good and punk rock.

I don't see a lot of people post on social media about being poor but I know you mfs are struggling too. I work as a dishwasher and I'm a student and I don't work enough to qualify for SNAP as a student so I use the food pantry. I will never pay even $3 to submit anywhere.

what was better for my writing than MFA, which kinda ruined writing for awhile, was volunteering with teen writers. I learned so much from these fearless writers who tapped into play and seriousness with equal grace & abandon. Those teens were honest in a way lots of adults struggle with.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
