One way to get tasks done in the day is to make yourself a Chekhov's List. Put all of the things you have to do on a list, and now that they've been revealed they'll need to be completed by the afternoon (third act) and when you've completed something you can Chekov that task from the list

it takes years to develop your craft. do not romanticize the idea of an ‘overnight success’. be a student. grow organically. get really good. hate your work. start over. find new ways to express the same ideas. the student becomes the master. your time will come.

So my new bookshelves come in tomorrow or the next day but there's an extremely high chance I won't be able to carry them inside on my own.

Do I ask my landlord for help carrying them around the house into the Box or do I go across the street and bribe the local nine year olds with chocolate croissants for manual labour is the question.

So yea my dear friends today my rent was increased by 125 dollars which I. I don't have so um.

Please consider subbing, or commissioning me in the coming months. I'm really going to have to scrimp - probably stop buying gluten free stuff and just have like, potatoes for starch in the future which is FINE, but obviously not ENOUGH.

Get a GOOB aka chibi of your character for ten bucks!

Get a traditional watercolour marker drawing of your character for 50 dollars to start! I can also mail it to you!

Check out my subscription services and consider supporting my art and viewing my secret gallery!

Art is my lifelong passion and I'd love to work for you! I'm also a disabled single dad and need the money to support myself, my son, and my cats! It would mean a lot even if you just boosted this post or checked out my art.

Thank you so much! <3

I'm really going to need white witches and pagans to learn how to correctly use the terms race, ethnicity, nationality, etc. before they make posts about matters involving these subjects.

I'm also going to need white witches and pagans to stop trying to white savior their way to "witchblr prominence" by presenting themselves as speaking for members of marginalized and minority communities, when they are in fact speaking over and often spreading misinformation about those communities. Who are you to speak for us? Speak for yourself and your own traditions. Let us speak for ours. We are capable of doing so, trust me.

And, while I'm at it, I need white people to stop using the term exotic to talk about people and cultures. "Exotic" to whom? Not to the people and cultures you're fixing your lips to speak about. To quote an old reponse by writingwithcolor from back in 2015, "To discuss People of Color as if we are inherently exotic implies that only the white (or outsider’s) view matters."

Stop labelling us as exotic. Stop speaking on our cultures and practices when you are not a part of them. Stop depicting us as uninformed or incapable people who can't speak for ourselves and need white practitioners to be our spokespeople. Stop speaking on things you do not know. This goes for religious practices as well. If you're not Muslim, stop talking over Muslims to speak on Islamic practices and traditions you have no part in; if you're not Jewish, we don't need your posts about Jewish traditions; if you're not Hindu, don't write talking about culture and traditions within and surrounding Hinduism; and the same for all religions. We do not need your opinion as a white practitioner taking up space and drowning out our voices. We do not need your opinion as a white practitioner confusing readers who deferred to your posts about cultures and practices you are not a part of, when there are countless people from those cultures and practices who can accurately and correctly speak to those things, who know the histories because they're from those practices and cultures, who understand the nuances of these traditions because they are from those traditions.

It's 2026, y'all; and a lot of people doing this are of a plenty big enough age to know better. At this point, there's absolutely no excuse, and the vast majority of us are beyond tired of the "well-meaning," "good-intentioned" white practitioners who continue to behave in these harmful, narrow-minded ways. Those who do this are doing so much more damage than they realize, and that's far too commonly ignored.

Taking up Japanese as a side project for myself has reminded me of something.

So like a long time ago I had a professor that I absolutely adored. She happened to be Japanese American. She grew up speaking Japanese at home but never really spent a lot of time in Japan. She mostly spoke with other Japanese Americans and read books.

So one day early in her teaching career there’s an exchange student from Japan who’s having a hard time understanding a concept so she explained it to him in Japanese and then he looked absolutely rattled. Like in shock. Pale.

This is how she learned that the way she speaks Japanese makes her sound like a gang member.

Japanese doesn’t exactly have cuss words in the same way as English does but imagine that the nicest professor you’ve ever had pulls your paper over and says “Okay listen here you little piece of shit I’m gonna fucking explain this to you. Violently.”

This (studying in Chile for a year) is more or less how I realized my two PhD-having, tenured professor expat parents raised me to speak the most disrespectful and swearword-riddled version of Spanish possible (with plenty of ancient slang I didn't know was slang thrown in). It was like:

[ghostlyimmortalvessel]

being a writer basically means having invisible friends. It’s nonnegotiable. You will find yourself talking to your characters. Just you wait.
