I didn't realize that, in shooting 0 for 50+ submissions, the first pages of seven of my stories have enjoyed a readership of over a hundred souls. I am glowing!

Are paper rejections really that bad? My papers get read by ~3 people on average. Each rejection means a resubmission, which means 3 more readers. After 4 rejections, that's double-digit readership.

When you send two fellas to the glass hotel and they don't break anything, really makes you think

Fondly remembering the unc in my community college geology class who put on his glasses to inspect a classmate's butt in spandex with great concentration.

Keep drafting posts wading into MFA discourse, but then I remember I didn't do an MFA because I tried to and no one let me.

@bean_maste35440 @osintPk I'm actually trying to understand what you're saying. Are you arguing it's the same fire as the kind from refinery plants' flare stacks?

@frogwagon @osintPk Thats no more harmful than oil fire. Your morality seems to have eaten away your brains completely. Did you read the claim of the post

The black smoke hanging over Tehran today is hiding a danger much worse than the explosions themselves and it is something that should terrify everyone in the region.
That sticky rain falling from the sky is actually a toxic chemical cocktail that can reach the human brain and cause permanent damage within minutes of exposure.
While the world watches the fire the real disaster is silently spreading through the wind and poisoning the water that millions of people rely on to survive.
We are witnessing the start of a different kind of war where the air becomes the ultimate enemy and the damage might last for hundreds of years.

@bean_maste35440 @osintPk *Bombed oil. Air there is now dense mixture of incomplete products from that combustion and toxic particulate matter from bombings. If you're trying to deny that's harmful, it means you'll have a moral issue if it is--you're on the right track

@osintPk Absolute bullcrap. Its just oil. I often clean paint from my hands with gasoline.

Tidy illustration of why you can’t be an environmentalist without being an anti-imperialist

As one of the most critically successful apps alumni (1 date, 1 life partner), I should offer courses. I can help anyone use a dating app for mating purposes with >50% success rate. Unfortunately it would begin with the enumeration of the traits that make one uniquely repulsive

i think if i were in a situation where i had to try to find a partner via dating app i would just kill myself instead. i don't think i could do any of that

I was getting depressed but then I realized that Wasia is 20th c Poland, and that we in fact have a rich literary inheritance.

Watching your average person wrestle a rolling suitcase out of the overhead bin, set it on the floor the right way and deploy the handle reminds you most people do not know how to operate their own bodies.

@nate_knapp24 That was understood, hence my emphasis. What you said means "I'm trying to write a better novel than [some Great]," no? And for me, that makes no sense. Writing isn't a track event unless that event is a relay race on an infinite plane

In the case of literature you must aim not to be better than the living but better than the dead

@nate_knapp24 Aiming to be a superlative sets yourself in comparison to an existing field. Maybe not what greatness is either

This is way off, I think. The thing to pursue is to be the absolute BEST. I would regard the word competent as an insult.
What Ho…A Rat!!@WhatHoARat
I don't think it's a good idea to pursue greatness in any field. I think it's a good idea to pursue competence, and consistency. Greatness, if it happens, happens by accident when those things are in place.

I've realized that being good is difficult, so I'm going to try for prolificacy now.
