I sure as hell see a number as my goal. I would like to make as much as I reasonably can for my job.

#Alllivesmatter too, amirite dude?

I’m not aware of any history of oppression of Catholics by Episocopalians.

Louise Erdrich, N. Scott Momaday, Leslie Marmon Silko, Tomspon Highway would like a word. Those are just off the top of my head and without Google.

The problem for me is not “ownership”. That’s when the ideas of cultural appropriation go to far, I agree.

Would 1,000% attend a wizard party, and I don’t go to many parties these days.

Still far too many kids.

The question of writing “the other,” whatever that means to you, is a super-interesting one. Representation is important in novels— but it has to be done carefully. There’s a really fine line to walk in terms of creating a diverse world vs. falling into cultural appropriation or awful stereotyping . You can’t just…

I’m American Indian and I’ll admit I’m biased about this issue. I don’t like it when nonAmerican Indians write about us because they fuck it up so much.

Not even Juan it’s like let’s slum it and be an alcoholic Juan because it’s more fun that way!

Woah. Big swing and a miss! It’s not like she doesn’t have some kind of point when it comes to “runaway political correctness”. But using the tequila party as her example/evidentiary support, n’s’much. I mean, WTF does that even have to do with a writer taking on a character and writing about an experience (cultural…

I have nine children.

Out of necessity most likely.

Did the mom at least give the new kid a chance? Maybe he was much better than her own kid! Upgrades!

I had an acquaintence whose children wanted to name the dog. Their top contenders were

Several of the names are actually rare enough they could potentially dox me if searched, the other I want to mull over a little longer.

Ow, that dress Gina is wearing in the header photo is giving my boobs sympathy pains.

Someone once caught me secretly watching Sister Act II. I still can’t decide if it was mortifying or not.
