I don't know who my intended audience is here, so whoever needs to hear this, I am begging you to learn to participate in conversations that are about things you aren't interested in.

Part of socializing and having friends is being a good listener even when you don't actually give a shit about the subject.

Your are hurting other people's feelings when you bluntly respond with "Anyway..." and then change the topic.

It can not always be about your preferred topic.

You are being rude. Yes, even if you are neurodivergent. You can be both autistic and rude.

this and also the only difference between fanfic writers and writers who sell their own original works as careers is that fanfics aren’t monetized. that’s all.

being a “professional” writer doesn’t mean your works are inherently better than fanfics. I’ve read so many fics that are more professionally written than some published books.

whether or not a piece of writing is monetized has nothing to do with its quality.

i never know how to phrase this so it doesn't sound like "just stop being scared around wasps lol" but literally Just Stop Being Scared Around Wasps. i mean stop acting scared. you see a wasp and you start making erratic movements and loud noises to chase it off? congrats, you made it worse! don't do it.

and then, when you force yourself to instead act Very Calm and make slooooowww movements, the wasp will not sting you. it might even land on you and walk around a bit and it will not sting you. and it will happen again and again and you're going to feel stupid, like "was i seriously afraid when nothing happened at all?" and you are me. i know this because i did it. Just Stop Being Scared Around Wasps. it's that easy.

Some people have mentioned gently blowing on the wasp to get it to leave and I just want to advice against that actually. The CO2 in our breath can trigger the panic response in the wasp and make it react defensively. Instead just very gently wave them away if you must or lead it away with getting it to walk on a stick or object if you don't want it crawling on you.

When you encounter a lone wasp its usually out foraging and so they're just curious if there's any goodies for them to gather and at most just want to get a quick drink of your sweat. Setting out a shallow dish of water (or even just a couple drops of your drink) or a sacrificial piece of food can keep everyone happy.

Also time of year can make a difference as hives are at peak activity and on crunch mode towards the end of summer so the wasps get extra defensive. Oh and the color black! Black can signal aggression for wasps and bees (hence why bee suits are usually white) so sometimes they get confused upon encountering a large dark object and may be more likely to sting.

"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.

"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"

"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."

"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."

"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.

"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."

"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."

"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.

"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."

"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."

"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."

I hope you like it :]

I saw an otter briefly hop on top of a babirusa at the zoo and when the stranger standing next to me heard my camera shutter click he turned to me with this look of immense relief, put his hand to his chest, and said in a dead serious tone “oh thank christ someone caught that on film”

The thing I dislike about alt histories where real life monarchs have been made both gay and unproblematic is that it seems to imply that gay monarchs have not existed in history but if they did they would be cool. Which isn’t true. They have existed and they were just as bad as straight people. And I think it is disrespectful to real queer history to pretend that queer people have never been absolute bastards

Nearly pissed myself laughing earlier when I saw this absolute Looney Tunes truck attempting to transport an oversized mattress down the road with only a couple tiny bungee cords holding on for dear life, while it ballooned out behind the truck like a drag racing parachute:

Beavers are not natural animals, they were created by ancient undead to allow them to cross rivers.

[penation]

Beaver and Bereaver share etymological roots, with the latter meaning 'to create Beavers', which was over time extended to cover a wider definition of death-magic performed by the undead, and eventually developing into it's modern definition of death-making.
