Happy 1 year to Midnight Strangers !!!

AWESOME!!

The reason most indie novels are written like the author is terrified of doing something wrong is because the overwhelming majority of indie novelists get their start by networking in the violent panopticon of the social media indie publishing community, which favours the people who are able to win at the social policing game.

Okay so this comment got me googling because I hadn't heard of Isabel Fall

And if you also hadn't heard of her go read this because uhh... Holy Shit

I had heard of the whole messed up situation with this story, but I hadn't ever read the synopsis of the story before, and WOW

This story sounds like it could have been a brilliant exploration of gender and warfare and violence but instead it was attacked by people who didn't know how to confront a story that made them uncomfortable, and the author faced horrible consequences.

It's so important to be able to deal with stories that give you uncomfortable feelings in other ways than just attacking it. Being shown new perspectives sometimes has feelings of discomfort because it's an unfamiliar way of seeing the world.

Holy shit.

For the love of God, please read this story. It is so fucking good in ways that I can't even begin to articulate.

Shane said fuck you and Ilya took that personal

Endlessly infuriating how media treats mental illness. It always seems to fall into one of two categories – the “scary evil dangerous” ones (psychosis disorders, personality disorders, ect) or the “haha quirky cute” ones (OCD, ADHD, ect.)

Both are bullshit, both are harmful, and both make me highly inclined to punch the writers in the face.

I care about you so much and I would really be devastated if we never spoke again.

At this point in my life, I can do silent treatment forever. If you don’t wanna talk, sure, lmk you need space. If you hate me, tell me. But if you’re going to resort to ignoring me and blocking me without telling me why, then sure. I’m not going to beg for answers. If you are going to weaponize my giving a shit about you, then I refuse to allow that to work. I’m too busy to chase after someone who is ignoring me. I’m just gonna live my life and when they decide to have a conversation instead of making me guess, then we can do that.

Silent treatment is juvenile and the moment I started just living my life when my ex did that, I found I didn’t much care whatever she was pissed at me about, because my life is more rich than whatever shit she’s on now.

Waiting it out instead of begging will always be my play. So 🤷

(person who suspects they have ocd voice): what if every time i think something is an ocd symptom im actually faking it and stereotyping and ruining the lives of people with real ocd and im a terrible person

marcusbrutus

the worst part about ocd and ocd-like tendencies is that you think hyper-analyzing your thoughts and constantly psychoanalyzing yourself will fix you but that's actually part of the disorder. it's the disorder. disordering.
