It's been a fun ride, but I guess it's time to say goodbye to tumblr. Since, y'know, my experience as one of the queer folk tells me that there's a lot of ppl who would flag my very existence as nsfw.
You can find me on AO3 under the same nickname, tho I have yet to post anything there.
Life questions: how many times in a row one can effectively use a dry shampoo, instead of a wet one? I guess I'll find out.
This is so infuriating? Like do you really think war and smart phones cant exist in the same country at the same time without cancellation? Those phones (not even “expensive smartphones”) are probably all the connection they have with family. And that a phone = rich, and that their having a phone erases their status as refugees?
I got a smartphone brand new for $20, it’s not great and pretty far behind compared to the new phones but it was cheap. My friend in Columbia was able to buy a similar one for about $12. And also there is the fact that you can actually be middle class or even rich and end up as a refugee! Let’s say your town floods and you can only grab what you can fit in a single backpack of course you are going to take your damn phone! ESPECIALLY when your entire family is split up cause the evacuation happened out of nowhere and you want to be able to find them again.
Racist white people seem to think cell phones cost $5 million dollars and nobody but tech billionaires and other whites should own them.
Literally everyone knows to have a fully charged phone in an emergency situation, but once non westerners try to have a fully charged phone in a situation, it’s some sort of fucking luxury that should be condemned. Didn’t realize that disaster and upheaval came with a mandatory downgrade for your cell phone.

sorry not sorry to drag apple into this, but are y'all so fucking used to $800-$1100 phones that you literally cant wrap your head around anyone who’s not rich having a smart phone???
Y'all actually believe your phone is worth $800+???

"Migrants" fleeing war and poverty, charging their expensive smart phones. Unreal.
Picture of people using four six-socket extension cords laying on the ground to charge their pretty standard cell phones. All the sockets are taken, and the charger cables begin to tangle together.]
The chemical name for vitamin C is “ascorbic acid”. I always used to wonder about this one. Is being ascorbic like being acerbic? Is it like being ascetic? Absorbent? Some combination of all of them?
Today I learned that scorbi is just a Latinish way of writing scurvy. So a-scorbi-c acid is “no-scurvy acid”.
Tragic is cutting 500 words of absolutely hysterical dialogue because it isn’t furthering the plot right now and not knowing if you’re ever going to be able to fit it in later.
Oh no
Hopefully you can put it in someplace else later?
“The most heartbreaking thing about being a writer is having to kill a character!” said someone who has never had to cut choice conversations such as THIS:
(I am somewhere around the halfway point between, “I’m so sorry I have to cut this,” and, “I’m so sorry I wrote this in the first place,” lmao.)
Keep reading
Omg
That last line made me actually laugh out loud. I’m so sorry this has to go.
FOR NOW
Cutting is so weird. Sometimes it’s easy and sometimes it’s so hard. I had a beta who without mercy, was striking out lines to cut left and right. And most of the time, she was right (I realized I may have a bad habit of repeating myself without realizing it).
But she one time said cut this line, it’s unnecessary. And I honestly said no, I love it and it stays.
Because of the way I edit, I very rarely single lines – rather, I end up writing and then cutting tons and tons of scenes and parts of scenes (and especially starts of scenes!) I never totally throw things away, though, and I usually end up cannibalizing the good bits for new scenes or stories~
Wow, that’s incredible. I’ve cut scenes before but not too often
I don’t know if I recommend it. My cut file for Worth is almost 10,000 words and that’s the stuff I haven’t pulled out and re-used. :’) I love how there are so many different ways of writing.
Wow.
I know, it’s so interesting to think about.
Okay I had a look and that 8,000-ish words is not necessarily scenes I wrote and then cut. A big chunk (probably 1500 words) is just me goin’ on about story goals and writing goals, a bullet-point outline of the second part of the story, and two tarot spreads one of which was actually for a completely different story (The Things We Keep.) A further 500 words is actually just the end of the story, which I just haven’t written to yet.
Still!!

Damn, I love the second haircut, maybe I could fix some approximation of it for myself, later.
I work with a lot of Brazilians since I handle international corporate insurance. I’ve had two of them break down in tears on me, and the third requested a job transfer to a different country because she’s black and terrified for her kids. She doesn’t even care about a potential pay cut–she just wants out.
I have a co-worker in my office who is a Brazilian immigrant who is in a perpetual state of terror because her brother and his partner of 20+ years can’t get out.
I have had two requests from businesses I insure to write trip travel policies that arrange ‘business trips’ to other countries for extensive amounts of time for their Brazilian employees. Like, year-long trips. One of my clients literally said, “It worked for us in the 40s.”
Do you understand how fucked up this is?
This is a WW2 tactic used to save the lives of Nazi targets.
History is literally repeating itself, and no one cares yet because the targets are minorities.
It’s time to start paying close attention to what’s going on, because once shit like this gets established, it only ramps up into a full-blown horrorshow.
Get your asses out and vote, because the people who support this for damn sure are, and the system is rigged in their favor. We’re primed to fall headfirst into this territory ourselves.
Not only do you vote, keep attentive, keep your heart open, and be ready to help however you can, not just here in America, but abroad. The world is not so large that you can ignore a crisis like this wherever it occurs, and one day it could very well be us in this position.
We’re halfway there; what did you think the synagogue attack and grocery store shooting were about? Complacency will undo us all in the rise of facism and racism and hatred. There is already a will, and our guns are legal and easily obtained.
Complacency kills. Apathy lets it occur again, and with impunity.
I can't find guides on how to direct one's anger to work - as opposed to guides on how to bottle or burn it down without getting anything done. Internet is full of the latter, and they're particularly useless. Shout out to others who fell on their face bc they couldn't do any more push-ups, but were still just as angry as ten minutes before.
And what's worse, anger-taming techniques just tire one out but do not address the source of anger at all. I don't need to be any more tired - I do manual labor for a job, and volunteer when I can, I'm often so exhausted that I can barely walk or eat - and yet I still swear into the traffic's noise until my throat hurts.
What do you people do when you're absolutely pissed about sth and can't react with outright violence, but still need that anger to motivate you to change it?
LGBT BRAZILIANS TAKE CARE WITH DATING APPS AND GRINDR, THEY WILL BE USED TO TARGET VICTIMS PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST
ALSO!!!!!!!!!!!!
In Whatsapp (the most used messaging app in Brazil), if you receive a contact from a “juridical support group for LGBT+ people who are being harassed” called “REAJA”, DO NOT INTERACT!!!!!!! Apparently, this is not a real support group but it’s a trap that are targeting LGBT+ people to physically harm them. They people behind “REAJA” have very malicious intentions.
Be careful and stay safe!!!!!!!
I received the contact of Reaja on sunday night. My friends and I thought it seemed pretty weird so we blocked it… We were right.
Reaja is not a trap, its a real group for LGBT people, but they received too many messages in their number and It became useless. They deactivated it and are thinking about a better channnel of communication.
Please reblog this version, we have too much fear spread already.

SIGNAL BOOOOST!!
I did a little research and what i got was:
REAJA was a real group that helped lgbt+ with legal problems. However, when they disclosed the whatsapp number it got out of control.
Other than the massive number of people reaching out someone started making the connection between REAJA (the group mentioned above) and REAJA which is/was (im not sure) indeed a group targeting lgbt+ with malicious intend.
Now, the number is deactivated. But, even so, please don’t ever go head first in stuff like this! If someone reaches out with something that seems “too good to be true” or it appears to be just what you needed, please, be careful! Just because this one seems to be fake doesn’t mean we should ignore possible threats!

Im sorry i couldn’t find links in english for this (only about yet another group, a musical/cultural one, with the same name)
A daft old man, who stole a magic box, and ran away. Did I ever tell you I stole it? Well, I borrowed it, I was always going to take it back. Oh, that box. Amy, you’ll dream about that box. It’ll never leave you. Big and little at the same time, brand new and ancient, and the bluest blue, ever.
My favourite thing about Zuko joining the Gaang is how seamlessly he assumes the position of:
sleep-deprived
over-aggravated
strict
parent, forced to play bad cop, to keep the children on task.
And my absolute favourite (without missing a beat):
Which is a pretty accurate approximation of daily conversations with a toddler.
Seizure First Aid.
Learn it. Share it. Know it. Use it.
100% correct medical information on tumblr for once; also consider calling 911 if you don’t know how often the person has seizures and ESPECIALLY if the seizure has lasted 5 minutes or more (which is why the watch is critical)
I have epilepsy so making sure the word is out on how to help people who do have seizures means a lot to me.
Oh my god, accurate epilepsy information. I am so happy, you have no idea.
[Pics sourced from epilepsyfoundation.org about seizure first aid, saying:
Keep calm and treasure other people who may be nearby.
Don't hold the person down or try to stop his or her movements.
Time the seizure with your watch.
Clear the area around the person from anything hard or sharp.
Put something soft (folded sweatshirt) under their head.
DO NOT try to force open their mouth with anything hard or your fingers.
Turn the person gently onto one side. This will help keep their airway clear.
Stay with the person until the seizure has ended naturally.
Be friendly and reassuring as consciousness returns.
Offer to call a friend, relative, or taxi to help the person get home if they need assistance.]
.
Additional note: putting person on the side, don't press their chin against their chest, it's no good for the airways. Head a little back is said to be best.
The world is either crazy or you are.

so! I have some thoughts about shipping and shame that I’m going to talk through - under a cut, because I’m not sure how it’ll be received and I don’t want it taken completely out of context.
the tl;dr version is: I shipped things that featured large amounts of taboo, social ostracism, and shame because I was a queer person growing up in an extremely conservative environment, and shipping those things helped me deal with and confront those emotions.
