Four more exceptional #fungus friends from this afternoon. Nature sincerely held me this afternoon.

I made this space to talk about folk history and my (oral) storytelling, which is what I've mostly focused on (aside from pet pictures).

But for a long time, my online spaces were all focused on my creative writing, something I've barely mentioned here. For various personal reasons, I got very discouraged in my writing and mostly stopped doing it, despite having got multiple steps into making it a profession.

All this to say that recently I've been flexing my #writing muscles again, and one of the things that got me back to it was being asked to tutor some kids in creative writing. I've been teaching them about a year now, and it's been such a joyful process! I'm thinking of trying to set something up for adults (beginner or experienced), with the goals of:

- approaching creative writing as a craft, with tools to learn and try and practice, not rules to abide by.

- helping people find their voice and discover what they want to do with their own writing.

- exploring story in all its forms.

- supporting people to direct their creativity with greater purpose and find joy and inspiration in community.

It's just an idea currently, but I'm wondering if anyone on here would be interested in something like that? (FWIW I'm an experienced teacher with a Creative Writing Masters, but I'm thinking in terms of faciliated skill growth more than 'lessons'.)

Walked into a lamppost.

Sustained light injuries.

Still raising funds for lawyer fees and other expenses associated with @nullagent's assault while protesting. Concussion is starting to improve but he has a lot of work to do to hold the assailant and accomplices responsible.

We have a great lead on a lawyer, next steps will go a lot smoother if we have more funds on hand and continue to get the word out!

Anyway, if you want to help me in these trying times (because OH BOY this car has been testing my patience), these are mi prices.

lacking context can make good intentions have bad consequences ,
dealing with difficult emotions can make good intentions have bad consequences,
but only with good intentions do you even have a shot

the main thing I'm trying to get across is something like "we should be more forgiving of people's actions if their intentions are good because creating good in this world is an extremely difficult constrained optimization problem"

"just roll with it" genuinely the best advice

the road to hell is paved with good intentions, but so is the road to heaven. this is often called the "things are complicated" dichotomy, and is one of the difficulties in living a good life in this world

People from fedi... WHERE ARE THE CHIPTUNERS?

You had to watch your step at #EF28—these lil' guys were out and about looking for treasure!

Seeing folks get photos with the oversized props I built was one of my absolute highlights, this con!

A spaceship landed in the park. A door dilated and an alien stepped out.

"Greetings, Earthlings! You may recall we landed here not long ago, and asked to meet your leaders."

The alien paused.

"We met the Earthlings you indicated. Very funny. Now, take us to your real leaders."
