I used to write erotica and urban fiction in a single subject notebook and pass it around to my peers in middle school and early high school and I’m bout to get back to my roots
My moms friend was a big urban writer in the early 2000s (your moms and aunties know him) and I gave him one of my stories and it was too grown so he said he’d help me publish if I wrote something for kids my age but my brain didn’t work that way so I never did it💀
at some point I got more into writing non-fiction and erotica/romance/urban fell by the wayside bc of my intellectual pursuits. But I used to be good at those genres of writing and I have some stories to tell

Nah because wigs are a clear first step into hardcore drugs, rock and roll, and pre-marital sex.
Atleast, this was my moms logic for why I couldn’t wear wigs at 16... And it’s why my wigs still aren’t expertly applied, I started too late 💀
I was allowed to wear quick weaves but not wigs? And I wasn’t allowed to wear colored hair? My mom was a trip lmao

I’m realizing that something socialists and prison abolitionists have in common is a desperate belief in the innate good in people, or the belief that people can change with enough encouragement. I believe hella people are not innately good, not capable of change, & greedy
I was reading some literature about restorative justice (still tryna be convinced on the abolitionist front) and a recurring theme is “making people admit” and “acknowledging that something happened” so ppl can be held accountable and it’s still not clicking for me
In what universe is a sadistic child rapist going to ask for accountability? In what universe do we help him change and trust him to walk the streets?

I’m mad that when I went to the gym late last night a man stopped by my treadmill directly in front and asked me why I looked so mad. I was running. I turned my head to get him to leave so he yelled that I was pretty and asked if I had a man.
Why is this the fourth time a man has asked me “why do you look so mad” when I was running or working out. I don’t get it. Do y’all be smiling, ladies? Am I not working out right?
Please stop being weird at the gym.

It's time for another #20TweetTales. Started on this story a while ago, and finally finished it. This is inspired by Alex Ichim's military piece, Runner.

The creak echoed through the clearing as Private Tull shoved open the engine access hatch. A blast of steam washed over him and he cursed. The hydrocapacitor was shot. That meant that runner wasn't going anywhere until he fixed it.

"Whassa matter, Private NULL? That big-ass head ain't got enough brains t'fix a little runner?" Corporal Daught strolled by chuckling, an armload of comm-cable in hand. Tull bit his tongue to keep from spitting back a snarky comment.

Welcome to another #20TweetTales, where I try to take a really cool piece of art as inspiration and tell a story in 20 tweets. Today's is inspired by Sarper Baran's piece Portal Forest.

Bow in hand, Dav and his brother Shen tracked the deer trail through the fresh snow. The forest peeled back, revealing a frozen lake. A quarter-league away, a metal circle taller than a man stood on end at the water's edge.

Leagues away, a larger arch--the Arch of the Gods--loomed over the mountains. Shen stopped. "We must go back, find another hunt."
Just then, a young doe stepped out of the trees near the ring to approach the waterline.

Here, for no reason at all, is a short story:
#fiction
The thing I notice about Richard is that he has stolen my appetite. When we meet for the first time at that Ethiopian restaurant downtown, I am staring first at his thin mustache and brown eyes. And then I am staring at my noodles and brimming with doubt.
When he talks, I am disgraced by the realization that I do not know where my bathroom scale is. Did my ex husband take it? When Richard asks me a question about my work, I am looking down at the waist of my jeans shorts, furious with them for cutting into my flesh.

Night Fishing 1 of 20:
Our supplies were dangerously low, so we brought the rig down to about four meters and let our baited lines dip into the marsh below. The scoops dropped to gather the water.

Night Fishing 2 of 20:
Our airship, a cobbled-together mass of old airplain, school bus and junk drifted over the murky water.
The pieces of the shattered moon streaked across the cloudless sky gave us plenty of light.

Night Fishing 3 of 20:
We listened to the crickets chirp for a minute, letting the serenity wash over us.
"Are they really out there?" Kymee asked.

#b Excellence is overrated, competence is underrated.
Competence is knowing what to do in a situation and how to do it. It is not the same as excellence.
Excellence is dependent on other people, like judges, examiners, teachers, assessors, inspectors, auditors. But we can't control these people and whether they think we're excellent or not.

#b 'Teknik menjawab' is not a series of rituals that you carry out to secure an A in the exam. You don't get guaranteed an A just through superficial actions like highlighting keywords or drawing meniscus or inserting isi tersirat.
The problem is students and teachers treat teknik menjawab as some sort of pseudo magical ritualistic gestures that will bring a certain outcome. Draw a pentagram, slaughter a chicken, and your wish will be granted.
Some remote Pacific Islanders in 1940s came in contact with Allied and Japanese soldiers who were more technologically advanced and thought the soldiers were gods who had many "cargo" (canned food, electronics, modern stuff)
