okay i allowed myself 30 min of wallowing in grief and depression. its time to do what @gabino.bsky.social always says: "write the next one."

the amount of extremely talented artists i've seen opening up about how dire things are for them in their creative field really spells out for me how much im fucked long before i get any emails about it.

She's right and it's not even just young folks.

There are grown folks who are uncomfortable with journalists asking follow-up questions.

It's like people wanna feel like they have access not answers, and they're conflict averse.

"here's a fictional Nazi Romance between the fictional Nazi and the woman he should be sworn to hate" why would he hate her. shes white.

i do think its really weird how popular Nazi Romance is amongst ppl who would under no circumstance be the target of a Nazi in general

A novel called This Is Why They Hate Us with a post it on it that reads, “annotated.”

You'll never know the lengths I went to, to keep this title. Some alternatives I came up with: - Don't Ask Me How I Feel (my publisher pushed for this one) - Two Kids in a swimming Pool (reference to a Frank Ocean song) - Summer of Boys (yikes)

Aaron H. Aceves. The H stands for horny. I mean Henry.
