I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF
This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.
Then bring me luck
the day after I posted this last time I was notified that I was selected for a really cool mentorship gig and got an unrelated glowing review at work
You gotta read and watch some old books and films that aren’t 100% modern politically correct. I’m not saying you should agree with everything in them but you need to learn where genres came from to understand what those genres are doing today and where media deconstructing old tropes is coming from.
Also, more often than you might think, they’re not actually promoting bigotry so much as “didn’t consider all the implications of something” or just used words that were polite then but considered offensive now.
Kill the censor in your head.
When we choose to avoid history because it's Problematic or Says Bad Things, we are choosing to divorce ourselves from understanding how we came from that time to this one, which makes it even more likely for the cycle to repeat, with no one but a few people with shelves of old books aware that it's happened before.

Learn to articulate how you're feeling without accusing anyone of having bad intentions. You can say "I'm afraid of being alone" without saying "you're just going to leave me like everyone else." You can say "I need some reassurance" without saying "you probably don't love me anymore." You can say "I'm afraid I've hurt your feelings and I'd like to talk it through" without saying "you don't even like me anymore." You can say "I want to spend more time with you" without saying "you've gotten tired of me." You can say "I feel misunderstood" without saying "you always judge me." Try not to let your emotions get the best of you. Have a conversation focused on finding solutions instead of escalating the conflict.

Blood-clot
I was buried up to my throat The linings blanketed by flies each morning as I stared at my own inky reflection a shock of blonde and nude, pale lips cuts and scrapes pressed against slivers of flesh and I contemplated ever returning to what once was home Black nail polish always chipped like the wood upon your door my khol was mixed with Bridie’s, cat eyes Smeared with blood I stocked up on hate…

Scentless Adolescence
I wasn’t jealous of you because we had never met under a kissed starry sky littered with Nazi propaganda and upholding the fascist regime that oppressed the English working class while you read me sonnets that mouth Plath’s prose and your mouth came up spitting cornflower blue and monoxide oven gaze, the same smell that coated your hands, but yours weren’t blushed with red berries, were they? I…

My two writing modes
Mode one: WRITE ALL THE THINGS
Mode two: Open Word. Stare at Word. Close Word without writing anything. Repeat.
When you get super excited for a plot point that doesn’t happen for like, 20 chapters.
Character: I want to be happy.
Me:...
Character:...
Me: What is this thing called happiness that you seek? I've never heard of it.
When someone says writing isn’t that hard:
Me: "I think I'm actually a pretty good writer!"
Me: *Reads other writer's stories*
Me: "Nah, nevermind."
Them: Writing a book sounds easy.
Writers:
me: wow, this is a really cool idea. and I know exactly the tone I want to write it in.
brain: here's a totally different narrative style
me: no. . . no that's not how I wanted to write it. It's not as good. Let's do it the other way.
brain: lol wat? words go how?
As I’m writing something: Yes, this is ok, good.
Going back to read that same thing later: Nope. Burn it. Bury it. Rid the world of this abomination.
