Lilah Sturges@lilahsturges.com · 6d agoAny trans-femme writers in PDX who would like to do a writers meetup? It would be a combination get-together, writing session, and craft talk. The only criteria are that you are transfeminine and serious about your writing, whether you’ve sold anything or not. Please share with your Portland pals!
Today at RK we: Launched two websites, had a Visual Brand Redesign in Action review, sent off a rush job report for last looks, & sent off a proposal for review with our copywriting partner.

From my friend @jenhoward.bsky.social's newsletter: "In 1922, James Joyce’s publisher sent him a list of more than 200 errata in the first U.K. edition of Ulysses. Was he embarrassed? Hardly. “These are not misprints but beauties of my style hitherto undreamt of,”...." Using that line from now on.

Met a young artist who was selling his art at a flea market and I just HAD to buy one of his pieces! Support artists! And to add to the mix: had a lovely conversation with his parents on supporting creative kids and how important that is during this day and age. Keep it up! ✨🙌✨

in a week that saw microsoft give activision the reins to halo and bungie pivot back to destiny, one thing has become abundantly clear: the people in charge do not have a long-term, overriding plan. they’re just reacting. the result, when times are bad, is chaos

I just started reading @popversesays.bsky.social regularly. Loved how the team was bringing back Comic Alliance vibes and solid reporting on the industry. So of course it's being shut down.

On my repost about the Kennedy Center and that it matters, especially to us that live around here: I don't have kids, but the point stands! I should've hit quote post but it was before my first cup of tea.
In general, if people could stop acting like DC is a theme park where the only residents are in Congress that would be great, thanks
I’ve seen some people making comments about not caring about the Kennedy Center, or even wanting it gone, and if you’re not local, maybe sit this one out. It may be an abstraction to you, but to me it’s where I want to take my kids someday to see the symphony, the ballet, touring shows, etc
Ooh, it’s me! Hope I made sense!
