“What started as a post-pandemic crisis has become an entrenched reality for many American cities..." This reporter won a Pulitzer Prize. He doesn't actually believe that the homelessness problem in the United States (or Los Angeles) started as a "post-pandemic crisis." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
“Several thousand people lived on the streets within a few miles of the bridge. It was one of America’s most dangerous and destitute neighborhoods, which made Narron and Hooker look like targets by comparison.”
This bridge is in the Arts Distrct blocks from several Michelin starred restaurants.
This is garbage journalism from @nytimes.com Did you bother looking into John Alle? Do you know what kind of unhinged and hateful things this man has said and done? Did you ask for a quote from The City of Santa Monica? From LA County? Did you report any real data on homelessness here? Wow.

Finished this today. 🤯 thanks to James Wood for this dedication to the craft.
Just finished this page-turner recommended in a class a long while ago. Whew! Intense. I had a lot of fun.
Finished this in March and forgot to post 🤷♂️ I’m only 15 years late and I’ve finally read the series. What a fun ride.
And finished this tonight! Thank you @isaacfitzgerald.bsky.social for sharing your truth. Inspiring to see a part of you, here, on the page.
Gorgeous and unsettling. Absolutely blown away by this one I wrapped up a couple of weeks ago. Thank you, thank you, Claire Keegan.

So grateful to have taken the time for this gem! Elegant and beautiful - what care you took.
Book 2 was so much fun. I’m nerding out waiting for Katniss to 🏹. I can’t wait to finish the third! 🤓
Finally finished this gem! 📖💎🖋️What a gift this has been for my process. Thank you for your work mdbell79.bsky.social, and for your relentless encouragement.

The Hunger Games (book) by Suzanne Collins
Way late to the party on this one! What a ride. Can’t wait to finish the trilogy.
Great to see so many writers coming here now. Let's rebuild the writing community. If you’re an author or screenwriter, reply and say hello so we can all find you and follow each other. And if you want to repost this, that would also help.

Anyway, I saw the article about the fart opera that was left on the cutting room floor and thought, okay, but what else got cut at script stage?
I was just like, none of these Kens want to bang each other (explicitly)? Or, like there’s no way to approach gender nonconformity while taking on the patriarchy? I’m sure she tried so this isn’t to shit talk Greta Gerwig.
I really enjoyed Barbie and was surprised by how bold the piece was and “how much she got away with” considering the shitstorm Gerwig must have gone through with WBD and Mattel. But did anyone else feel like it was a little heteronormative?
Just deleted whatever that other app is called now from my phone. I’m hoping that time here brings as much community and discovery as I found over there. 💛
Never put up enough Penny content on the bird app, and will not be making the same mistake here! Here she is being adorable on the stump of a palm tree 🌴
Hello there! Happy to check out this space. Here’s a pic of Penny the Foxhound to kick us off. 🐾🌭
