I WANT to do a con panel on undisclosed consent issues in fantasy. Not just the sexy kind. Magic, curses, destiny, soulmates.

I got a fantasy coming in Oct and have written multiple romances taking apart power dynamic tropes. CALL ME.
Also a panel on mental health for writers that isn’t just ‘do yoga and take breaks’. Let’s talk about living with a mental illness and still producing work to build a creative career. Let’s talk about how 80% of your job is taking care of your brain space.
I just wanna do more panels and dig into things with smart people tbh. PUT ME IN, COACH

I know I should try be more Interesting(tm) on twitter right now, but friends, gonna be real, we're at the start of the dark time of the year where it takes everything to keep a deathgrip on my mental health or give up till April. It's hard. It's real hard.
It's not the holidays--I'm a holiday nerd--but anxiety means I got a tripwired brain and no vitamin D and a book deadline. I could disappear and not talk about it, but maybe right now is hard for you. Maybe you're walking that highwire too.

I want to say it's okay.
Just taking care of yourself can feel like a failure, but I promise it's not. Whatever you're doing right now, it's enough. Whatever you manage to do today will be enough. Brains have seasons too, fertile and fallow. And every season changes.

I’ve had feelings over the news the last couple days, but I have this fear that, like an internal scream, if I let it out once I’ll not be able to stop.

The worst thing a woman can be in our culture is angry. But that’s how we got here in the first place, isn’t it?
If I’m too loud, too angry, people might not like me. If I’m too loud you might not buy my book. Give me that job. Say something when your friend rips my bra at a party.

We’re taught that likeability is protection.
I was a kid when Anita Hill testified. I remember sitting at the kitchen table listening to my father grouse about Hill, about Clinton, about all “those women” who he just didn’t like. Couldn’t say why. But couldn’t they just be more lady-like.

I learned what likeable was.

short thread on books I have read, starting with sometime late 2017...
1. The Asshole Survival Guide. @work_matters's sequel to his blockbuster bestseller, "The No Asshole Rule". A depressing read when you realize how toxic some workplaces can be.
2."Black Money and Tax Havens", by Prof @rvaidya2000 - a short, breezy window into the world of black money. Again, a somewhat depressing read when you realize how weak the intent and how inconsequential the efforts into rooting out black money have been.
#books #ReviewInATweet
3. "Aadhaar: A Biometric History of India's 12-digit Revolution", by @ShankkarAiyar
Perhaps the first comprehensive account of Aadhaar's birth & its midwives. Insightful a/c into how the world's largest & most intrusive, privacy-destroying scheme came to life.

Anyway, even as I’m getting into the sacred spirit of Holy Week, there is a #MusicSermon today. The doors of the church will probably open around 7. ⛪️
I appreciate ya’ll understanding and accommodating me taking a break last Weekend. I just didn’t have the stirring. Lol but serious. There’s a mood/mindset/headspace I have to be in to keep the right evergy. I won’t ever force one; it wouldn’t feel the same even to ya’ll.
We’ll start tonight’s #MusicSermon when the game is over. 🏀⛪️

Please govern yourselves accordingly.

Also you may want to put on comfortable clothes so you can dance... just sayin’.

Hi.
So, first, big shout-out to this lovely takedown of a tweet that shows all the ways in which the new "PC" version of Chrono Trigger, a beloved and famous video game, is in fact a very bad transfer of the mobile version instead of the original.

Chair Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) has gaveled in FBI Director Chris Wray's first House Judiciary Committee oversight hearing.
Up for discussion, per Goodlatte's opening statement: GOP calls for a second special counsel to investigate Clinton investigation; reports that a special agent was removed from Mueller's investigation over some allegedly anti-Trump tweets; Section 702; and mass shootings.
Wray addresses "going dark" problem in his opening statement: Says the FBI in FY2017 was unable to access the content of approximately 7,800 mobile devices using available technical tools "even though there was legal authority to do so."
