What do you do when you lose motovation for writing halfway through a sentence?

When it happens to me I just tend to

He would fucking love this.

[ramblinganthropologist]

Guys. Welcome to The Wackids. Their YouTube is just full of this.

I love them.

The meaning of the life is probably here

[natalieironside]

If u want to write a story about a character that's just you but hotter with a dark twisted backstory and magical powers and a pet falcon or something, I think u should just go ahead and do that. Who's gonna stop you? The government?? Fuck the police.

[charlon-lumi]

What if someone barges in, points at said character and scream, “Mary Sue!”

[natalieironside]

Tell them to come back with a warrant

[meanya]

The time has come once again

[kadzhi]

one good thing about december on this hellsite is that this gif will be making its rounds again

[flagellant]

You're a fantastic gatekeeper!

...Sorry, just to be clear, are you mad at me for saying that I don't think that people should turn traumatic mental disorders into witchcraft?

[normal-horoscopes]

"Telling neurodivergent children that their mental conditions aren't magico-religious superpowers is gatekeeping" is not a take I was expecting to see today

[normal-horoscopes]

Speaking as a professional occultist with a fucked up brain: The history of mental illness and the occult is long and proud, but spiritualizing ones mental illness --considering it holy or of special magical significance-- is how you end up with ideas like Indigo Children. Dehumanization can also be putting people on a pedestal.

'We come from the stars': How Indigenous peoples are taking back astronomy | CBC News

Some people fear that much of the Indigenous contribution to astronomy has been lost, but it's seeing a resurgence.

Published Mar. 30, 2019.

Excerpt:

“The recognition of First Nations contributions to science has been on the rise in recent years. In astronomy, instead of teaching constellations and stories from the Greeks and Romans, many Indigenous people are turning to teaching the star stories of the people who have lived on this land for thousands of years.

For the Cree (Salt River First Nation is made up of Cree and Chipewyan) the sight of the dancing lights means spirits are dancing across the sky” (Mortillaro).

You’ve been visited by the Halloween moose. May god have mercy on your soul.

[synebluetoo]

Jesus, look at the size of that thing. Bloody hell. His pumpkin now. 

[alex51324]

It took some time for my brain to parse the antlers, and until then, I thought this was a bear.  

[ignescent]

So the first time I saw this, I thought the moose was really short with a weirdly big head, because it was the height of the mailbox. I’ve now realized it’s kneeling and am once again afraid of just how /big/ moose are.

[scifigrl47]

I like how the pumpkin at the base of the mailbox looks like it’s watching this attack and screaming in horror.

[jayska-nxl]

Being Canadian is amazing because you get to watch everyone else not comprehend the utter size of moose

[call-me-noa]

Please do cite the deep magic to me actually. I may have been there when it was written but I am very forgetful

[prettydumbloverboy]

Actually, people are good by nature and you’re a fool if you think otherwise.

[prettydumbloverboy]

When you sneeze in public, strangers will say “bless you”, even though they don’t know you.

When you ask for directions on the street someone will show you the way, even though they have nothing to gain from it.

People squeeze their legs against the chair so you don’t have to hop over them on your way to your seat in the theatre, and make funny faces to make babies laugh, and purposefully step on leaves to hear them scrunch, and hold the door open for someone leaving behind them, and ask what floor you’re heading to when you enter the elevator, and send others photos of things that reminded them of them, and recommend each other songs, and ask if anyone else wants a coffee because they’re getting one, and make videos teaching how to sew a button, and wish on shooting stars, and share fun facts, and listen to others rant about things they don’t even understand, and let you cross the street first, and give a bit of their food to others, and laugh at jokes they don’t find funny to make you feel good, and listen to kids talk for hours about nonsense, and let you know your keys fell from your pocket, and they may be strangers, but with every little gesture they’re saying “I love you, I love you, I love you”.

God, I needed to read this today. Humanity is overwhelmingly full of hope and kindness and it’s very easy to forget that these days.
