Week One Evaluation of My First 12-week Year

What a Big Week this has been! (Get pictures) In the past few weeks, I have worked hard to get as much publicity for my latest book Oregon County, Wild and Scenic within my county. The book is about the county so because the eclipse is happening this afternoon, the local towns have prepared for the influx of visitors to Oregon County. I had strategically placed books in various venues around…

I feel like there is a strong correlation to Frank Hubert’s initial subtext with Dune (its islamic religious themes, a premise setting an empire against local populaces, the attention towards ecological developments in desert environments with a bias towards temperate zones from outsiders wanting to “enrich” the land), and all of the recent developments in Gaza and its history, both with the original influences to Hubert’s novel and the timing of a blockbuster adaptation happening while international focus grows towards Palestine, that is going unmentioned outside of the usual jokes and memes

obviously strikes are good keep at it SAG but im kinda sad at the destruction of the press junket/media circuit it just doesn't really exist anymore, marketing spending never returned to pre covid levels as studios realised you can do virtual events but with that pull back followed by the strikes we barely get any celebrities being carted around for our viewing pleasure anymore :((( dont worry darling was the last interesting shit to happen i miss the days of unhinged drunken talk shows and embarrassing photo shoots i hate those curated little youtube interviews and scaled down premières i want public spectacle

FIRST EVENT OF THE SEASON IN 6 WEEKS.

AAAAAA-

[just-rogi]

I’m fucking venting here bc I’m angry and don’t have anyone to talk to and I’m not sure if this is political correct or right or whatever but I’m fucking pissed - I’m a public school teacher who works in the inner city and this year alone there have been two shootings in my neighborhood involving students not dying school hours- and one student who went missing due to gang ties (they were found ALIVE a DAYS later) -

I’m fucking TIRED I’m FREAKED OUT and I’m ANGRY because I have to go into work tomorrow and I have to have that conversation with the kids during our SEL block because they will have questions and bc they are in middle school some will not know how to process it and will joke while others will be genuinely upset

and I feel nauseous thinking about the fact that my mother and four of my closest friends are all going through the same fucking shit as teachers at different schools right now- and my roommate who is trans- and unrelated to his identity is also kinda an asshole- has been shitting on me all night about how I’m not I’m danger like he is and how I don’t know his pain (and while I’m not making excuses I’m an openly gay teacher who works directly with the lgbt students and activly educated my kids on trans rights AND I work for a nonprofit organization that directly works to protect trans and queer rights and JUST LAST WEEK put out a video for our organization on antitrans laws - I’m not saying I fucking get what it’s like to be trans but Jesus fuck I’m fighting the fight for trans youth more than you are working at Whole Foods) why the FUCK are you quantifying suffering, why the FUCK are you lashing out at ME of all people, and why the fuck are you telling a public school teacher in inner city Boston that I have no idea what it’s like to be afraid- motherfucker I’m angry I’m sorry but why the fuck are you monopolizing suffering why do you think you have the right to talk to me this fucking way. I get you are scared but you work in Whole Foods in Massachusetts- the bluest state there is- )

there is no fucking cap on grief- sorry I’m upset at this as well but you saying it doesn’t directly effect me is just so fucking ignorant and suffering shouldn’t be quantifiable mf we are on the same fucking side why are you infighting right now (and I know this isn’t relevant and this is entirely unrelated to him being trans but god he is so fucking sexist- saying shit like I have no idea what it’s like to have my bodily autonomy at risk as if roe v wade didn’t get overturned THIS year???) sometimes it pisses me off like fucking sorry I’m being over emotional and overreacting to a school shooting as a fucking public school teacher GOD I should be allowed to be angry too in my own goddamn apartment-

you don’t get to sit on your high horse and say you suffer more than me and that I’m not allowed to be afraid ok I’m done I’m gonna go in tomorrow and make sure to hug my one openly trans kid extra hard bc I know they are suffering just like I know my roomate is suffering and needs a place to express his anger- I get I’m an easy target bc I’m a safe person to lash out at and I’m not telling anyone how to grieve and I know a lot of this is just knee jerk reaction to violence and anger- I just wish he wasn’t expressing it at the one fucking person who doesn’t deserve it, like fuck, the one thing people always say about public school teachers is that we have it TOO easy, especially the night after a school shooting

*Also fuck terfs and fuck anyone who is using a tragedy as an excuse to hate trans people*

I'm doing my first author event this weekend!

For those of you in Chicago, I'll be at Sundays on State on July 16th. I'll have copies of Fae Deals to sign, but since I won't have copies of Returning to You I made bookmarks to give out!

I'm nervous but excited. Here's hoping I sell *some* books.

Knowing the onsen has closed has left a hole in me. Even though I live far away I always looked forward to it when I visited and now?? WHAT

[astrifurious]

woke up this morning and realized if I’m already gonna be apartment hunting in april, maybe I would just sign a lease then too and pay a little more if that means leaving earlier… being here while a friendship slowly deteriorates by the day makes me sad and the peace of mind I will be able to secure for myself if I find a place sooner in my timeline is worth the cost imo

WRITER’S FORUM  E-BOOKS REVIEWS

                        WEBSITES HELPFUL TO WRITERS This is a series of posts which, I think, will be beneficial to writers. But first, I would like to include my usual warning about using websites. Whenever you check a website you are, in my opinion and I talk from experience, being put on a list for sale. So, expect the possibility of being bombarded by ads from companies you, perhaps, have…
