1 to 1.3% of the American population is Muslim. I am a white American woman born in this country and I am much more afraid of Christian nationalists on our soil than I am Muslims.
I was a classics major so that in no way puts me in league with scholars like Wilson and Beard but I will say this, Nolan is an artist. His film was an artistic interpretation of another great piece of art. I find Wilson’s and Beard’s kvetching just as tiresome as Musk’s and Stephen Millers. Finis.
I did not foresee Butthole Covid as one of the plagues to afflict us during this regime but here we are
Sometimes, things that look small can have a big impact. I received a rejection today from a laudable journal, and it came with high praise. Having submitted very little work this year, the kind words helped immensely. Such should be life always.
Eff me. I just got baited and spent more of my life than I needed to debating a fucking delusional fascist. When did they migrate to BlueSky?
I just saw a Meta ad with Kylie Jenner and felt so disgusted and angry and grossed out. Fortunately, I have some Oberon to calm me. Also, please send coozies. I must’ve lost mine in the move.
Artists are historians, prophets, and we all need to pay closer attention
Momo would like to raise a glass to the absolute breathlessly stupid fucking shitshow that is the Trump regime. May every one of you mother fuckers live to go to jail and may your kin forever rue having your surname.
I want to be clear: I’ve read some brilliant work today and some very not so much
Please enjoy this text exchange between me and hubby, who faces a colonoscopy in a few days
My soul. Wounded. Scarred. Battered. More rejections than I can tally though I send fewer and fewer pieces out. A world upended by idiots, grifters and fascists. And yet, there is art. There is sunshine and California and hummingbirds and travels with my husband. Grasping for that which holds.
I read Monstrilio on the flight to L.A. As usual, when I pick up a book rec from @alexanderchee.bsky.social , I never regret it. Photo of my insanely adorable Lucky bc it’s Caturday.
NYT: Pressuring War Coverage with Claims of Treason. What it should read: Treasonous Regime wants to control the press
My bestie knitted me this cap. In Nazi occupied Norway, locals knitted these caps with tails to protest. The Regime eventually banned wearing them. My girl thought I needed to sport one here in DC. Lucky The No Longer Feral approves.
Some lovely details on the Kennedy- Warren in Cleveland Park. I love DC.
I have a piece that will be published soon by @querenciapress.bsky.social and I cannot express how grateful I am. I adore this flash and I hope you will too.
Not me basically getting totally overstimulated at #AWP and having a panic attack and rushing back to the room for a nap- well, yes, in fact… it me
Sat behind this guy on a flight who consumed a steady stream of Fox BS for 2.5 hours. Oh and he refused to move out of the aisle to let the poor woman who had a tight connection get off the plane
What do you mean your cat doesn’t (literally) sit with you? Also, fuck fascism and abolish ICE
Many many years ago, on this date, my grandparents anniversary, this gent asked me to marry him. How fortunate we have been to have sampled the world’s greatest offerings. I wish for more happy, healthy years. Also, fuck fascists.
When I was a kid in a small southern town, Book World opens avenues I did not know existed. Fuck you Jeff Bezos. Fuck you and your fascist agenda to hell. RIP @washingtonpost.com
The fact that Trump is too stupid to be humiliated by this incredibly embarrassing display is insulting to every American.
@telegraph.co.uk you Vichy rag. Maybe, I don’t know, do some actual investigative reporting. She’s autistic, you morons. She was going to a doctor’s appointment. Ever been a petite woman dragged from your vehicle by a masked man? No? Then STFU
It’s my mother’s birthday. Elvis’s as well. Both from Mississippi. Ever wonder how such a place of disrepute birthed so many national treasures? Me too. I guess it is the crucible effect. Anyway, it’s also just another day in Trump’s fascist wet dream. Enjoy my Portrait of a Lady.
