"I won't attend your event due to the lack of Covid protections."
-Sensible and reasonable but boring.
"A vow of solitude for the duration of the plague prevents my presence. Your careless congregations tempt fate and threaten the wellbeing of our bloodlines. My duty is to health and reason."
-Mysterious, heroic, epic.

'To you, or-'
'To these people who don't exist. The whole thing's fake. Absolute bullshit, top to bottom. Are you in or not?'
If rail workers do end up engaging in a wildcat or otherwise illegal strike, PLEASE remember that strikes are meant to be disruptive. If you see someone talking about the rail strike and how it's having such a huge impact, say things like "Yeah, it's crazy how much of our economy relies on them. That's why they deserve good health care."
Don't give in to anti-labour rhetoric. Combat false narratives. Solidarity Forever.
feeling a little down about nanowrimo this year. I made it to about 17000 words working on a few short stories, and while it’s better than I had been doing, it’s a little disheartening to realize it’s the best I could do. and even though I know I shouldn’t be too hard on first drafts, I’m also not feeling great about their quality
maybe after this I’ll keep writing more, at least
