Fire danger is abnormally high this holiday weekend. URGING you to consider firework alternatives: - screaming “bang! boom!” at the sky - dropping a stack of large books on the floor - wrapping a toga around a candle - play America the Beautiful while combining Coke and Mentos

“If you’re not using AI you’re falling behind.” Let me fall behind then, in a bed of leaves while blackbirds observe with beady eyes. Let me fall so behind that the strands of time tug as I travel through and the constellations change in the sky, spelling prophecies of your doom.

I miss the old days when my feed had actual #writingcommunity content and people I cared a out instead of bullshit ads and political hot takes by people I don’t follow. 😞

My whole family has been sick with COVID the past week and a half; here’s me checking in with my son to figure out whether he’ll be able to go back to school.

Since there is so much chatter from racists on Twitter right now calling me a n—r, guess what, I’m the one responsible for starting the conversation that led to getting rid of his face as the World Fantasy Award by speaking up. Yep, ME, *that* African. nnedi.blogspot.com/2011/12/lovecr…

Bacon grease. Dead squirrels. Wistful, fetishy descriptions of silky smooth yellow hair. This is extremely bad.

Convo with my 16yo son yesterday. Why does this make me feel like I got an A in parenting?

Ah yes, it’s that time of year when Safeway fills their produce section with migraine-inducing cinnamon pinecones 🤢 😣

I'd really like to make this clear...racists don't tweet "I hate people who aren't white" they tweet things that make white people more scared of people who aren't white. Jo Rowling does this but with trans women, LIKE IT'S HER LIFE'S CALLING.

Is it possible to have too many purple sweaters? 🤔
