There is a writer, I love every work she has written so far and I comment or leave kudos every chapter/work that she had published. Is that too much? I'm feeling like a stalker.

Odds are you are now that author’s favourite reader and they have you specifically in mind when they write because they’re looking forward to your reaction to it :D

At least, that’s how it goes for me.

Something I’ve found being the commenter in this situation… They worry when you stop too. I’ve more than once been confronted with the fact I am Known and Acknowledged when an author’s been like ‘Oh thank goodness, you didn’t comment last chapter I thought you were sick of it’. I’ve also had authors hyped to hear from me if I’ve returned to a fandom after disappearing for a while. I’ve had one ask if I was ok because I disappeared for a while.  They know you and they love you. 

[wiredandrewired]

Can confirm my wife has a favorite commenter, when they leave a new comment on something she’s written I get ‘BABE BABE BABE COME HEAR I GOT A COMMMENT FROM X’ and I hustle to hear her read it out loud to me, her eyes shining the whole time, her whole body vibrating with joy, blushing her head off and smiling from ear to ear.  She reads them and rereads them and I can always tell by the look on her face.  Every comment from a favorite commenter is a love letter and listen friends you are loved in return.  

She speculates about what Favorite Commenter will think of things in the new chapter, if they’ll guess new twists coming up in the plot, if they’ll like how she works in a new character or a rarepair in the b plot of the story.  She talks about her hopes that Favorite Commenter will enjoy a new story she’s working on.  She says things like ‘Favorite Commenter was said something about Y and it’s not actually where I’m going, but it’s given me a new idea…’  Every comment from a favorite commenter is an inspiration, and they are writing for you.

And honestly, from my experience, having a favorite commenter can keep you writing even when you don’t have the emotional wherewithal to write for yourself.  A lot of people advise authors to write for themselves and to heck with anyone else, but there are times you can’t.  For years, I didn’t write for myself–I wrote for my favorite commenter.  It meant that was the only person who saw a lot of my writing.  But it also meant that I didn’t stop.  

Don’t ever hesitate to tell someone how much you love their writing or why.

Okay. This seems pretty insane if you don’t know what the existing state of terminally ill patients’ options is. So let’s go over that.

Terminally ill patients can sign up to be part of pre FDA approval trials for treatments which might potentially cure them. As these treatments are experimental, untested, not guaranteed to get results, and intended to provide profit to the medical provider in the long run, patients cannot be charged for these experimental treatments. As it should be. It’d be pretty unethical to get people to pay you to be your guinea pig for treatments which may not even help them.

This “right to try” law changes that. It makes it legal for terminally ill patients to be charged for experimental treatments. Furthermore, it removes FDA testing restrictions from the process. Currently a company which tries an ‘experimental’ treatment they know won’t work will get the hammer dropped on them by the FDA. But under this new process, medical providers would be legally allowed to provide ‘treatments’ they know won’t work, without oversight. This would legalize medical predation on terminally ill patients.

Labeling this bill ‘right to try’ makes it seem like terminally ill patients aren’t allowed to seek out experimental treatments right now. But they are! All this bill does is make a terminally ill patients more financially burdened and more vulnerable to predation.

That’s why the Democrats blocked it.

Ok speaking about how fantastic the power of imagination is - I have a little trick I like to use. I use this in all kinds of situations when things aren’t bad per se but they’re not great either - when I’m under-stimulated, when I can’t motivate myself to study, when I hate whatever social situation I have to participate in, when I’m mildly dissociating, when I feel unhappy to be around a bunch of people, when I’m feeling huge discontent from what I’m meant to be doing, when I feel I can’t be myself or otherwise have to hide (homophobic environment etc), when I’m hyperactive but still might just get something done, when I’m just really bored - 

It’s called I am the con artist. It goes like this.  

You are the protagonist of a camp high-flying fantasy/spy/steampunk/cyberpunk/swashbuckling novel, and you’re about to pull off your biggest heist yet. Everything before this was leading up to this one. Your people are in place, waiting for your signal - your fingers brush against the hilt of your sword - a smile, disconcerting, plays at the edge of your lips. Everything is ready. If you can just get through the next ten minutes, the next hour - it will all be worth it. The stakes have never been higher. Until then, you just have to blend in.

And you look around, and think: how can I pull this off?

It works a treat. Yes, you’re still disillusioned writing your essay - but you are a disillusioned scholar, pen weary in hand by the light of candlelight, hearing the rain battering against the panes of glass. Underneath the library are vaults full of riches you can only dream of. You just need to wait, quill scratching, until the stroke of midnight. 

Bored of learning vocabulary? That’s not a luxury you have. The king’s eldest heir you will kidnap speaks fluent French; and if you will pull off the pretence for even ten minutes at the masquerade later tonight, you need to convince. 

Feeling overwhelmed, an imposter, like you don’t belong? Well, as a member of the underground syndicate masquerading as a noble, you are. You have flattered and talked your way into the highest circles of society, and the decadence of the ball-rooms and the ever-flowing wine makes you sick. They will rue the day they ever crossed you. 

Hate making small-talk and dressing up? Of course you do. You’re the city’s best squid tamer, and you know poisons like no-one else. And under your dress are poison daggers strapped to your thigh, dipped in the venom of the squid. All you have to do is wait for the signal: the code-word from the man to your left, and the mark’s life will be cut short. 

Can’t be arsed to work out? There is no other option if your plan to infiltrate the ambassador’s elite bodyguards is to succeed. You can scale buildings, sure - but if you are pretending to be a graduate of the kingdom’s best school for martial artists, you need to be more than that. 

Why not use your imagination for protection and fun? If your workout is running up stairs and you pretend you’re chasing a dragon, why shouldn’t you use the same logic for studying or social situations? 

I am the con artist. Melissa is a lie. Evil Chenxi out.

I think the Riddler should do a Riddle Me Piss type segment.

[theycallme-ook]

Like, he should have a podcast, and the whole podcast should be like Riddle Me Piss where he goes and finds awful riddles and tries to get through them. He always has a guest. Usually another Rogue, a Bat, or a civilian he nabbed off the street.

[theycallme-ook]

One time he had the Flash on there and they barely made it through half the normal amount of riddles bc Barry could not. Stop. Laughing. It was super sweet tho and Barry quickly became a fan favorite. There are SO many animatics/typography vids of the ep bc it was so delightfully memeable

[theycallme-ook]

He manages to get Batman to come on once after years and years of asking. The episode is on the shorter side and Bats' voice is modulated, but the whole internet still loses its collective mind bc it's one of the only public piece of Batman media in existence and it consists of 40 minutes of The Batman and Edward trying and failing to solve nonsense riddles.

[theycallme-ook]

For years, Ed had been saying "I'll get Batman on someday" as a joke, and in response some guests had taken to saying "I'm not Batman" before their introductions as clarification, as well as using it as an excuse when they couldn't solve a riddle. The bit becomes even more popular after the Batman episode, for obvious reasons

[theycallme-ook]

-the spelling/sentence structure of one riddle was so bad Barry thought he was drunk. He's a speedster. He hasn't been drunk in decades.

-one answer was so bad that Edward up and left the room

-the batkids are forbidden to go on as their herosonas, so they keep finding excuses to go on as civilians. (See "accidentally" being at the right time and place to get nabbed by Ed)

-Harley loves being on. Ivy hates being on. Ivy will only go on if Harley will be there too.

-joker is not allowed on under any circumstances bc f that guy

-captain marvel was on once, not that Ed knew that. All Ed knew was that he nabbed a kid who was probably not as afraid of Ed as he should be, but did keep up an impressively sarcastic running commentary.

-the podcast has become something all Gothamites are strangely proud of. I mean like, yeah he's a villain and all but c'mon- at least he's funny. Cops don't contribute to society this much

-Batman had to listen to a full episode once bc the Riddler hid the clues to his latest crime in the ep.

-he hated it at first, but after that one time Bruce becomes a regular listener. He enjoys it for the same reason Ed does, actually: the ability to unwind and listen to stupid yet engaging fluff. He even sends in a few anonymously.

-all bats have written at least 1 riddle for the snow. They all essentially amount to word vomit. Harper's was the best/worst depending on how you look at it

[theycallme-ook]

[theycallme-ook]

-SCRATCH what I said earlier. The reason people got in the habit of assuring audiences that they are, in fact, not Batman was because Ed's signature line on the show was "RIDDLE ME PISS, BATMAN"

-whenever the Riddler has a bat tied up for whatever reason he'll do a "live" show consisting of him, his batty prisoner and whoever else is in the room. They make for very chaotic episodes.

-he donates all show proceeds to local libraries and schools bc crime may pay but public service sure don't. Plus, this money is clean.

-Ed will get sponsors from like,, the weirdest places. The zoo and a millenary were some notable ones. LexCorp tried once and were ghosted. Audible has never tried but Ed wouldn't sponsor Bezos anyway so hah.

-there's a Tear Tally on the show, it's a tally of all the times a riddle has made Ed cry.

-one time a riddle was so convoluted that Ed & Guest made a conspiracy cork board (w red thread and everything) just to keep track. It's an audio medium tho so they kept trying to describe the board verbally. It wasn't very good so Ed just posted a pic of the board to his socials.

-scarecrow was on for an ep. Ed prepared exclusively corn/farm themed riddles. Johnathan was torn between being amused or annoyed.

-meanwhile, Selina is very happy to solve cat themed riddles when she's on.

This website is like a suicide hotline but with text chat instead.  I would appreciate it if you guys helped spread the word.

This is very important, especially the way the world is being recently, so I’m reblogging it

[cobaltdays-deactivated20210208]

Okay so since we are all individual experiences perceiving the world(s) as a unique & aware form of the Universe; in which ways do y’all see yourself mimicking mother Universe and all she has and is and encompasses?

Okay I’ll start! I think of us like planets and stars in with unique gravitational pulls; we all have an energy and mass that gravitates stuff to us - and if you tell yourself you’re “not good enough”, or “I suck/ugly/bad”, or “I am unlucky/worthless” then you will in turn gravitate those realities and people and things to your planetary alignment! So instead begin to say only positive and good things about yourself and your life and stuff; even if you don’t believe it right now - because you will begin to gravitate those things to you. You will begin to be the star with the most abundant and blessed planets that encircle you. Bless ✨💙🥸

"Slavery was so long ago. Why haven't Black people grown gotten out of poverty?"

I mean... they did. They had a Black Wallstreet and everything with a wealthy Black community in Tulsa Oklahoma.

And white supremacists burned it down.

The Devastation of Black Wall Street | JSTOR Daily

Tulsa, Oklahoma. 1921. A wave of racial violence destroys an affluent African-American community, seen as a threat to white-dominated Americ

[mysinfulthoughts]

There were actually two racial massacres. Black Wall Street and an earlier one in the 1800s. The mass graves from both are still being uncovered and investigation is still a long way away from identifying all of the victims.

This was never taught in Oklahoma History class. And knowing this state, it probably never will be.

Actually. I change my mind and I’m gonna say it louder. Fuck it. I know half of you DID NOT stay silent about black lives matter and not pay attention to the black community and you would just say “I just don’t wanna be poitical” and now you’re posting about chadwick(which is completely fine and valid, we should be sad and grieving). But he has done so much for the black community and you need to know he is much more than black panther. He has done so so much and yes, him being our first black superhero brought tears to our eyes and we knew our sons and daughters can look up to someone who looks like them but know he has done a lot, he was more than your favorite marvel superhero. Much more.
