Curious what is actually normal for bed time. Go for your normal/average time, not your most extreme or what you wish it was.

7pm or before

8pm

9pm

10pm

11pm

12am

2am or after

it's never consistent

some other time entirely

Remaining time: 5 days 4 hours

I just don't know what grownups do for bedtime and I want to know!!!

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be a part of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

keep getting ads for this phantom of the opera retelling that claims to center christine “for the first time.” even andrew fucking lloyd webber cannot be accused of falling down on the job when it comes to centering christine, i think the problem is with YOU

[jotunheimrs]

Anyway, I just thought I’d say that out loud for your benefit …or anyone’s really.

how the fuck does one achieve these heights

God being a writer would be so great if I didn't have to write anything

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Wait I just remembered that ai books exist and the empty spectre of being a writer without writing anything suddenly gave me the urge to eat nails. Post rescinded. I'll write the fucking chapter.

No, I would not steal a car. However, if I had the ability to create a copy of someone's car that I could have for free while the other person retained their original car, I would definitely do that.

Can’t reblog the post going round containing these two screenshots:

So I’ll put my addition here:

This also applies to women who complain about feminism requiring them to work, rather than being ‘ladies of leisure’. Women equivalent to them in the past always worked - who do they think were the maids, housekeepers, cooks, nannies, wet nurses, governesses, washerwomen, spinners, weavers, seamstresses, nurses, midwives, etc - and today’s equivalent of the past’s ladies of leisure can afford to be ladies of leisure now. Feminism fought for women’s work to be acknowledged, valued, and fairly paid, and that fight is still ongoing.

some of you are saying enemies to lovers when you mean rivals to lovers and some of you are saying enemies to lovers when you mean enemies with benefits. but these are all distinct categories

A collection of time travel humor text posts, not censored by me.

All of these really made me laugh, and laughter is a very good thing sometimes. All of the time, actually. Unless you're doing something that requires a still hand or silence I guess.

obsessed with the fact that the welcome to night vale guy thinks he invented "welcome to [blank]" and gets really indignant and thinks other people who use that phrase ripped him off. its amazing. its a level of confident i aspire to be.

No offense, but the group with some of the most unexamined internalized privilege are right-handed people.

A right-handed co-worker told me once that I put the papers in the plastic sleeve upside-down. I joked that from my perspective, she's the one putting them upside-down and she just didn't get it and started arguing with me.

I had to physically demonstrate to her that the papers are right-side up when you hold the sleeve so that the opening is on the left.

[charlesoberonn]

I feel you. I'm left-handed but I can't use scissors in my left hand (even left-handed scissors) because I got used to only using them with my right.

Huh.

Maybe the open window will help
