Someone accused me of bias this morning. Specifically, bias against MAGA and Trump supporters. Apparently it's disappointing to discover that I'm not the morally neutral arbiter of truth they imagined me to be.

So let's talk about it. Let's talk about my neutrality. A thread. 🧵

I played #rollerderby yesterday. First scrimmage in over six months. Definitely feeling it in my hips this morning.

Called out one guy for acting like an asshole in one meeting. Got called an asshole in another meeting. Fun day.

If your analysis of US voter trends doesn't include the absolutely incredible amount of voter suppression in US elections then it is a bad analysis

Keep living
Live & live & live.

Whatever happens, try to do the right thing, try to protect people weaker than you, try to stand up to bullies, try to speak truth to power.

You might be trying to write an entire novel this month! But don't get too swept up in the cult of the Garbage First Draft. And don't obsess too much about your daily word count. Neither of these things works for everybody or guarantees productivity. Write your way!

@daylymemes Negative numbers!

Writing Month Day 1 in the books.
I'm flying by the seat of my pants, but planning ahead alongside writing the first draft, so I'm counting word-count from both plans and draft towards my days' totals.
Today's totals:
Draft: 1490
Plan: 671
Total: 2161

@dvsk I think it's electron-based, but runs in mac as an executable

@dvsk I like Pulsar. It's the successor to atom after that was sunset.

@stonekettle@threads.net Holy crap. I can't even put into words how immature, defensive, and unprofessional that is. I'd expect even my local right-wing paper to pretend that they have some integrity.

@amin I'm available to poke at the code and see if I can help out.

Happy National Coming Out Day!

You come out on your own terms: in your own time and in your own way.

That is the only “right” way to come out.

Sending love to those who, for whatever reason, choose not to come out. You are valid, and you are loved.

I have to tell you, the year's theme of "what if we didn't do that" continues to pay dividends as I managed to avoid a potentially disastrous data migration by just asking that question.
