The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads. Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages. They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production. Sound familiar?

moment of silence for those dealing with eczema flare ups during this heat (me)
the only good thing about the heatwave is that listening to Toni Braxton hits different
A top tip for a heatwave is to periodically venture into the death heat for a minute or two, then go back indoors where you'll appreciate the coolness more.

querying literary fiction as a debut author during a time when fast & snappy content is aggressively favoured is an extreme sport #amquerying
my parent may be losing her job and I don’t make enough to sustain the both of us, the cat, and rent/bills. I’m chipping away at my massive cc debt from over a year of job hunting due to layoffs, wrapping up some comic deadlines but best way to support is via shop! michiums.bigcartel.com
if I see one more 'this is how I quit my 9-5 job' post where the answer is they became an influencer, i am going to scream
"We noticed you're using an ad blocker." "Subscribe to continue reading." "An error occured. Enable ads to view site." I promise y'all that whatever I was trying to read is not worth that much trouble. I'll either get it elsewhere or just forget about trying to read it entirely.🤷🏾♂️
Occasionally I have to remind myself that comparing my fiction output to that of folks who don't have day jobs is perhaps doing me a disservice.

I'm a little confused about readers trying to give editing advice on Libraro. everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but please don't tell authors what they "should" do to appeal to you without them specifically requesting. it's just weird.
haven’t had much time to write or focus on research for my next book but I’m in the process of moving in with two of my best friends – who are also writers – so my excitement is through the roof 📈

drop it. leave the man. what you need is a weird ginger gremlin so thoroughly obsessed with you they will never let you know peace again, a creative hobby, and good sourdough recipe.
my most common self criticism when writing, especially after reading really good prose, is God i am not smart enough to be doing this. but you can't listen to that. you have to keep writing your dumbass little story. you have to
I almost withdrew my #Libraro entry because it felt too vulnerable, but reading all the amazing comments people have been leaving on my chapters has been a surreal experience 🧡
I owe my life to the ladies posting knitting tutorials on youtube. I still don’t fully understand german short rows but I can safely execute them now
Huge news! They actually released Liam Ramos and his father! Please remember that ICE is abducting more people - including children - all the time. And they will no doubt keep trying to harass and destroy this family. Defund and abolish ICE and support immigrants! kstp.com/kstp-news/to...
