TELL THEM ABOUT THE KNIFE DREAM (waka's powers were separated from her by a Toad SIN. Rather than simply running away, it turned into actively hostile entity that was searching for someone). The KNIFE DREAM is an anomalous shadow. Something is very wrong with Waka.

Foreshadowing is an important, and often tricky, part of writing that can help maintain interest in your story. This article from @mythcreants.bsky.social explains why you should hint at what's to come and how you can best do so.

HB, looking kinda roughed up with scuffs and bruises, flicks off a bit of oil-like blood as she gives the camera a dangerous grin.

Ideas alone do not make a story. Start broad and narrow your focus in order to make something you can work with. #writing #writingadvice

Tension is vital for building conflict in most stories, but @mythcreants.bsky.social is correct that you can't just throw in disasters and expect to draw people in. There have to be clear stakes and ambiguity as to whether characters will succeed or fail.

New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

Retire in peace

McConnell is the latest example of an incapacitated politician refusing to let go.

There is a constant, and frustrating, double standard in the media when it comes to rightwing politicians. It is something that needs to be pushed back against at every opportunity or we're never going to see change.

idk man seems a lil fooly and/or cooly to me

Happy Buster is dressed like Haruko Haruhara from FLCL, on top of a strange vespa with square tires. The motor is humming underneath, with her guitar slung over their back and a wide, mischievous grin over their face, like she's up to no good.

She probably is, in fact, up to no good.
