President Zelensky to NATO: we asked for fighter jets, you have thousands of them, but haven't got any. You have 20,000 tanks - we need just 1% of them. We need them defend our country. We just want to live, to survive. I believe it's everyone's right.
Heads up: @ZelenskyyUa is making a direct appeal to us. He asks that on March 24th - one month after Putin’s invasion began - we show support for Ukraine on the streets of our towns and cities. #UkraineUnderSiege Watch & share widely:
On this day in 1916, Ota Benga, an African native who suffered inhumane treatment by being kept in a zoo, committed suicide. He had been kidnapped in 1904 from Congo, and taken to America and exhibited at the Bronx Zoo with monkeys. A THREAD!

Learning to "live with COVID" doesn't mean we ignore COVID...It means we upgrade ventilation. Offer PCR tests. Wear masks to protect each other. Provide paid sick days for workers. Build trust to increase vaccine uptake....It doesn't mean we ignore it. It means we deal with it!

Anyone else received 5 of these Alberta Emergency Alert tests in the last 5 minutes?
Really nice to write (poetry?) tonight. Wrote a very scratchy draft of "The King of Faerie's Printing Press." Which is probably just a working title.
blocking doomers. if you just wanna give up then fuck right off into the nearest volcano.
True facts. I was a theatre nerd and a commercial actor. My fave role was playing the title role in Angélique, a play based on real life events, written by Lorena Gale. If I ever went back to to the theatre, my dream role would be to play Billie in Djanet Sears’ Harlem Duet. 🎭
DYK that @JaelRichardson originally studied to become an actor before finding a career as a writer? We wonder what her favourite character to play was. To learn more about Jael, her books and her upcoming presentation visit ➡️ tellingtales.org/presenters/jae…
Other important notes: -this was my 3rd manuscript & I learned from my previous mistakes—mainly I used to meander w/ no plan through unnecessary scenes (RIP ghost book) -I got on Prozac & Wellbutrin during my pre-writing phase 🥲 -I only work part time & have a cat no kids
-finished fast draft in 8 weeks (500-1500 words a day) then went back & filled in the TKs and issues my accountability partners pointed out -sent what I was now considering a “first draft” to my wonderful agent, who read it in a week & only asked for a couple moderate changes
-started a fast draft—I focused on the voice, main plot, protag’s arc, only some vibes & kept descriptions minimal. if dialogue or a scene even remotely slowed me down I just wrote TK and came back later -swapped 1-2 chapters a week with my fantastic accountability friends
-read potential comps -wrote both an elevator pitch & longer pitch. This ensured my WIP was high concept & I knew exactly what it was about before I started drafting -wrote an outline (used Inside Outline template from Blueprint for a Book) -found an accountability group
Looking at this chart to help me copy edit my MS and I still don’t get it 🥲🥲

@drdanielcook 'The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World' by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
One’s third draft, very like Level 3 of a D&D campaign, is things start to get really good. NOW WE’RE COOKIN’ WITH GAS!
I've crossed the 4000 word mark with the WIP. Writing's been hard the past couple months. No concentration. Motivation often as solid as smoke. I formally request the highest of fives.
Dammit. Just when I thought I had repaired my armour.
Just how broken we have to be to keep doing the same things over and over knowing they don’t work. Choosing not to see the suffering of the marginalized. Castigating mental illness. Vilifying the weak. She had a heart tattooed on her wrist. To remind her of better times?
I ride past many encampments in the river valley. It’s why I carry naloxone. I check in with people who are “sleeping”. Today I found someone who had recently died. I sat beside her as I directed the police to our sacred location. She was so young. I can’t stop stop thinking …
I see a lot of people saying Hawaii but unfortunately they don’t allow you to laugh out loud there, they ask you to keep it to a low ha.
@jkenney YOU can help. What a joke this thread is. Your government has decimated public healthcare systematically and you’ve continually attacked healthcare workers, but it’s all Ottawa’s fault, right?
