And if you truly cannot imagine this, if you're convinced that it will never happen to you, consider this one thing.

Would you want scammers to know the state of your loved one's dementia?

Oh. Shit.

women’s criticism on male authors putting rapey undertones into their novels should be taken completely seriously btw. it doesn’t make them less intelligent or intellectual for refusing to read anything with misogynistic material

writing is so funny because i could write nonstop for 9hrs and then hit a block where im like "how do i transition between this moment and the next?" and then i just dont touch it for 6 months

galadrieljones

Serious advice tho if this happens, it's likely because you already wrote past the end of the scene and wandered too far from the more logical transition point, and you should go back to the last time the writing felt "unforced" and cut everything after.

You can also just skip the transition. Really good writing can span years in a single sentence, like you can just authoritatively state fact and your reader will go with it.

This is GOLD! You just saved me like thousands of therapy costs lmao

When I was writing my fic last few months the strategy I used was "just skip all the scenes I don't want to write" and it worked great in my opinion

Pro-Tip: If you'd like for your diaspora-born child to be fluent in your language, don't shame them for speaking your language with the local accent of wherever they were raised

skaianbruja

And don't let others shame them either, including your own fucking relatives, especially if it's some monolingual fuck doing the shaming

i’m pretty calm and understanding but if i say “please don’t touch me” and you proceed to purposefully touch me, natural instinct will kick in and the large raptor which operates this machine will bite your fucking hand off

graffiti discourse is so stupid why the hell would I give a shit if people spraypaint their names or do some cool paintings under a bridge

going2hell4everythingbutbeingbi

sorry didn't realize the bridge has to be plain beige concrete. that was a load bearing plain beige concrete if anyone tags it the whole bridge collapses

@woozymitts YES! this is my favorite!!!

can I get a job as an editor but the only thing I do is correct when someone uses the word "prone" when they mean "supine"

sadgi

thank you wikipedia for this really good image

a helpful mnemonic for everyone

talkwithtatsu

too good for tags

headspace-hotel

This mnemonic has a permanent place in my life.

Every time in yoga class when my instructor would say "now get into a prone position" I would think "ah yes on your pronis"

“you don’t even have a dog” is probably the most haunting line to me because a lot of times society determines worth by romantic relationships and kids (and by extension, a dog). it doesn’t matter how smart and talented you are, or how much of an impact on the community you have, or how much you love the fog and the sand and the forests and the cliffs. you don’t even have a dog, so what would you be leaving behind? asking who is going to miss you? instead of what are you going to miss?

vs rocky who cared for and trusted the man’s intelligence enough to risk his own planet to go outside his enclosure to save grace. who loved him enough to give him a home full of things he didn’t always understand and colors he could never see and an ocean the human missed with real, working waves, and a classroom of kids so grace could do one of his favorite things every day. who knocked on grace’s door early in the mornings so they’d have time to sit on the beach

When Clark said “he’s not even a very good dog but he’s all alone and he’s probably scared so i have to go get him” I was so happy because someone in that writers room truly understands superman better than we’ve seen in a long time. This is the essence of superman - that every living being deserves kindness and empathy and love simply because they are alive. Clark is the kind of guy who’d cry when he got stung by a bee not because it hurt but because the bee died when it stung him and someone in the writers room knew that and made sure it came through.
