I just learned today is a year to the day that Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 election and endorsed Kamala Harris.

and... hm.

We were told in endless headlines that it was a crisis the likes of which the American Presidency had never faced. That Biden's mind was gone or at least going, that it was a puppet Presidency. And it was the media holy duty to push a President if not from office at the very least out of the race of President.

and they did.

So a year on where's the diagnose, the sad announcement that Joe Biden has dementia? why hide it? indeed Biden keeps making public appearances

here he is a few weeks ago giving a speech to a group of HR professionals

So here's a question, how long does it have to be? how long does Joe Biden have to keep showing up in public, giving speeches and interviews before we all admit we got got?

that we as a nation allowed a media drunk on right wing conspiracy theories to stampede the nation into ditching its President over.... nothing at all?

and conversely how long do we have to suffer through the shit show that is Trump trying to talk before anyone manages to even ask "is he okay?"

People who are afraid are easily manipulated.

Republicans keep their fragile voters very afraid.

Surely adding a glass of wine to my already sexed up mood will do nothing of serious consequence

it is honestly amazing how much of writing and editing is just. logistics. like... do i use a name here or a pronoun? if i move this dialogue tag to the middle of this line and break it in half, does the end of the line hit harder that way? what if i move the tag to the front? what if i remove it entirely? ...wait, whose point of view am i in; can i reasonably say this character is appalled, or must i say they look or seem or sound appalled? is this a deliberate action or a step-removed one; is her hand closing on his shoulder, or is she closing her hand on his shoulder? environment environment environment, we need to break all this dialogue up with some narration, the scene is coming untethered. what! are! they doing! with! the rest of their bodies that are not hands! fuck fuck fuck FUCK i forgot we covered this two chapters ago and now i either need to cut this whole chunk or find a reason to reprise the conversation from earlier. name or pronoun? name or pronoun? name or pronoun? move this clause around in this sentence? oh i'll add this phrase-- nope, never mind, past!me added the same phrase two lines down. okay, if i add too much environmental narration it's going to take away from this bit, but not enough and it won't feel grounded. what if i move this to its own line? where the FUCK are their hands?

Hi, I noticed your story has conflict in it, and I was wondering why you didn't just write people who are right doing everything correctly with a note saying "I enthusiastically co-sign everything in this story"? Must be some kind of mistake haha

i kind of feel like if you take "don't bomb iran" as an endorsement of the iranian government, you're not intellectually ready to engage in conversations about real-world politics. Go talk about steven's universe instead

random anecdote for father's day: one time during a long car ride my dad asked me, "you're familiar with Murphy's Law, right?" and i was like "isn't that the one about how anything that can go wrong will go wrong?" and he said "yeah, exactly" and i said "why do you ask?" and he went "well, have you heard of Cole's Law?" and i said "no, actually, what's that?" and he said "it's mostly lettuce and carrots with a little dressing mixed in"
