Did I daydream this, or was there a website for writers with like. A ridiculous quantity of descriptive aid. Like I remember clicking on " inside a cinema " or something like that. Then, BAM. Here's a list of smell and sounds. I can't remember it for the life of me, but if someone else can, help a bitch out <3
I FOUND IT BITCHES
This is going to save me so much trouble in the future.
Okay this website belongs to @wordsnstuff do us both a favor and go to THEIR blog sksks
I'm in the mood to quit my job.
I quit my job
“In 1984, when Ruth Coker Burks was 25 and a young mother living in Arkansas, she would often visit a hospital to care for a friend with cancer.
During one visit, Ruth noticed the nurses would draw straws, afraid to go into one room, its door sealed by a big red bag. She asked why and the nurses told her the patient had AIDS.
On a repeat visit, and seeing the big red bag on the door, Ruth decided to disregard the warnings and sneaked into the room.
In the bed was a skeletal young man, who told Ruth he wanted to see his mother before he died. She left the room and told the nurses, who said, “Honey, his mother’s not coming. He’s been here six weeks. Nobody’s coming!”
Ruth called his mother anyway, who refused to come visit her son, who she described as a “sinner” and already dead to her, and that she wouldn’t even claim his body when he died.
“I went back in his room and when I walked in, he said, “Oh, momma. I knew you’d come”, and then he lifted his hand. And what was I going to do? So I took his hand. I said, “I’m here, honey. I’m here”, Ruth later recounted.
Ruth pulled a chair to his bedside, talked to him
and held his hand until he died 13 hours later.
After finally finding a funeral home that would his body, and paying for the cremation out of her own savings, Ruth buried his ashes on her family’s large plot.
After this first encounter, Ruth cared for other patients. She would take them to appointments, obtain medications, apply for assistance, and even kept supplies of AIDS medications on hand, as some pharmacies would not carry them.
Ruth’s work soon became well known in the city and she received financial assistance from gay bars, “They would twirl up a drag show on Saturday night and here’d come the money. That’s how we’d buy medicine, that’s how we’d pay rent. If it hadn’t been for the drag queens, I don’t know what we would have done”, Ruth said.
Over the next 30 years, Ruth cared for over 1,000 people and buried more than 40 on her family’s plot most of whom were gay men whose families would not claim their ashes.
For this, Ruth has been nicknamed the ‘Cemetery Angel’.”— by Ra-Ey Saley
She’s 60 now, she’s still doing activist and advocacy work, and working on a memoir.
my favorite thing about this story is that ruth had inherited a large family graveyard and never really knew wtf she was going to do w dozens and dozens of empty grave plots but then the AIDS crisis happened and she realized what she could do with it
When Burks was a girl, she said, her mother got in a final, epic row with Burks’ uncle. To make sure he and his branch of the family tree would never lie in the same dirt as the rest of them, Burks said, her mother quietly bought every available grave space in the cemetery: 262 plots. They visited the cemetery most Sundays after church when she was young, Burks said, and her mother would often sarcastically remark on her holdings, looking out over the cemetery and telling her daughter: “Someday, all of this is going to be yours.”
“I always wondered what I was going to do with a cemetery,” she said. “Who knew there’d come a time when people didn’t want to bury their children?”

And a final quote from the first article:
She hasn’t been back to Files Cemetery since her stroke. While she made sure it was kept up back when she lived in Hot Springs, it appeared to have been let go a bit when the reporter visited in late December, some of the tombstones pushed over and broken, the snag of a dead oak left to rot among the graves. Even without knowing the story of the place, it might have been downright spooky if not for the constant stream of traffic cruising by at 10 miles an hour over the speed limit.
Before she’s gone, she said, she’d like to see a memorial erected in the cemetery. Something to tell people the story. A plaque. A stone. A listing of the names of the unremembered dead that lie there.
“Someday,” she said, “I’d love to get a monument that says: This is what happened. In 1984, it started. They just kept coming and coming. And they knew they would be remembered, loved and taken care of, and that someone would say a kind word over them when they died.”
Leticia Wright is excellent as Shuri and excellent as black panther. I WANT MORE LETICIA WRIGHT AS BLACK PANTHER! MORE DAMNIT!!!
I'm still thinking about wakanda forever. It's pretty cool that Kukulkan and Kumkani kind of sound similar...
Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but I really loved Letitia Wright as Shuri...
Congratulations to Queen Charles
Jay Z managed to be on the album without actually being on the album.
Heated is such a typical drake song. Love it tho.
Renaissance is perfection. From I'm that girl to summer renaissance it is 10/10.
I'm in the mood to quit my job.
Just in case you forget this exists.
It exists.
With those “when you want to design a character but you don’t know color theory” posts flying around I thought this would be relevant again.
SLAMs THE REBLOG BUTTON
there’s also Coolors website that gives you randomized palettes!
Don’t forget ColourLovers, either! It’s a social media-esque site where you can browse tons of palettes and share your own.
You can browse the most popular ones or search for certain colors, themes, and even specific hex codes!
When you find one you like, you can download a wallpaper swatch of it and also select the specific colors it uses to look at more palettes that use those same ones.
ColourLovers is my go-to for when I’m having trouble coming up with a color scheme! It’s also been around for over a decade, so there’s plenty to browse through.
I do love me a good color palet.
Aaa yes these websites are gr8 💛💛💛
Hey
Your hometown has “culture,” but does it have a 13 foot, bright orange, bug-eyed t-rex with weirdly human teeth
We are not the same
Oh yeah? Well my hometown has this fine late Victorian lad.
An allegedly real not at all shitty fake frog taxidermy that tourists pay real money to look at.
We have BLUCIFER. Killed his creator.
My hometown has this massive Paul Bunyan statue on top of a Cafe.
I see your Paul Bunyan and raise you The Big Chicken.
I see your large poultry and raise you Communist Cookie Monster mural.
This guy was at the center of a citywide mystery that tore neighborhoods apart in bitter rivalries and led dozens of people to write an anonymous con artist on the mayoral ballot.
You’re right. My home town had none I’d these. Just a funky lookin clock.
We have a drunken pink elephant with glasses.
And The Lauterbach Man (he used to hold a tire but it was replaced after 9/11. he also lost his head during a huge tornado about 10-ish years ago)
A large metallic Buck made of bumpers from cars that were totaled when they hit a big normal Buck.
Creepy Abe Lincoln at the State Fairgrounds
And the Corndog Couple.
Oh! And the auto parts store that has metal men ready to defend their property. Pretty sure they come alive at night.
We’ve got this fuckin thing. Everyone knows about Nessie, but Kingsley is the hero we deserve.
(Disclaimer: near me, not same town sadly)
We got fiberglass bison in random locations. This one is outside my favorite bookstore. Her name is Pearl.
We had a very big chicken..
6 Types of Fight Scenes
The Victim Battle: This is less of a fight scene and more of an attack. Your protagonist is not able to defend themselves and has no choice but to take the beating. This scene usually happens when you need to stir up some conflict or progress with the plot.
The Hero Battle: Your character is saving someone from a mugging, hostage situation, or anything that involves heroics. Sometimes they win. Sometimes they don’t. That part is completely up to the writer.
The Asshole Battle: This scene happens when one character is being an asshole and the other instigates a fight. It can happen between two good friends, and it doesn’t matter who started the fight. This fight usually gets broken up soon after it started. There’s rarely a real winner.
The Information Battle: This happens in a specific kind of book where the protagonist has information that they are not supposed to have. As a result, they keep getting attacked.
The Infiltration Battle: This scene happens when your protagonist is infiltrating enemy territory. It’s not uncommon for them to get caught and wind up in a fight.
The Final Battle: This is the most important fight scene of the entire book. Your hero and villain are finally going face to face in a battle that decides the resolution. This can also be the climax.
