The Venetian Carnival started yesterday with the Pantegana Regatta, the Parade of the Sewer Rat, on the Canal Grande. The procession is led by a boat in the shape of a rat.
Victorian medicine chest, which contains medications for pain relief, such as opium. It also includes a set of scales, weights, a pill tile, and a spatula. It was probably used in the home or by an apothecary. Photo: Wellcome Collection, London.

Blocking people from using highways due to suspicion of seeking abortion care. If you think they won’t use this and extend it to profile people of color and LGBTQ+ people, you’re wrong. This isn’t even close to the end of their assaults. Pay attention. Get involved locally.

this guy is a thousand percent right. if you practice and prioritize something, you'll get better at it. writing isn't special, it's not higher or better because it's "artistic". it's no different than training to run a mile: knuckle down and work at it.
I just think some writers treat writing and art as something precious. I recommend watching sports documentaries and cooking documentaries. Learn about the habits of people who are amazing at what they do. It usually isn’t genius or freakish ability. It’s usually just profound

frankly the epistolary parts of dracula did so much damage to vampire novels. you know you can leave out letters and journals, right? you know we don't HAVE to experience everything through a remove of "accounting this at my desk, barely able to breathe for fear"? like it's fine.
also if you, an author, have a book where the villain goes "no don't kill [protagonist who ABSOLUTELY should not be left alive for another moment], he deserves to suffer at my hands first but in like twenty extremely crucial minutes", please know that your editor has failed you.
"why do you want historically accurate cruelty to exist in narratives" idk I feel like if you don't immerse your characters within the actual social and cultural tensions of an era, you're just doing cosplay.
