I'm here to chew bubblegum and block bots... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

I hate you Ozempic craze I hate you 'heroin chic' I hate you weight loss ads on public radio I hate Burn Fat Fast ads every thirty seconds I hate you I hate you I hate you

I grew up before the term 'thigh gap' was invented I grew up before 'hip dip' was invented I was born before 'muffin top' was a thing before 'clean girl look' was a thing before 'glass skin' was a thing before razoring off peach fuzz was a thing and I'm so so so fucking tired of us inventing new concepts purely for the purpose of convincing people to hate their own bodies enough to buy products

Last time Tuberculosis ran through the USA a small number of people got it on purpose to look skinny and waifish and delicate and used makeup to look flushed and bony and when the Victorians figured out tapeworms people would infect themselves on purpose to starve themselves smaller and women and now in the year of our lord 2026 there is a noticeable fraction of the USAmerican population genuinely thrilled about a treatment-resistant microbial parasite that makes you shit and vomit your brains out for a month because side effects include weight loss and STILL we talk about being skinny like it's the natural default setting for all healthy people as if it's a self-sustaining standard and not an imaginary goal that we are constantly constantly constantly beating ourselves with a whip to acheive

The whole skinny is beautiful bullshit goes hand in hand with fascist movements. They like their women small and weak.

Not to mention Ozempic is a fucking diabetic medication and the weight loss due to appetite suppression is only a side effect. Makes it really frustrating when there are shortages because the medicine some people rely on has become the hot new easy diet trend. Like, ok you poof lipped skeletor looking MF, I'm happy you can fit into a size negative 3 now if that's your thing, but I kinda need that drug so that my fucking toes don't fall off.

The most underrated act of kindness is letting people be. Let them mispronounce a word, talk too much about a show they love, or get excited about something you don't understand. Everyone got something that lights them up. let them shine, even if it's not your thing

I genuinely wonder if people realize how many projects get abandoned because the readership "wasn't there", when in reality, the readership just stayed silent. It's a big thing in trad pub that book series get discontinued because readers pirate the books or wait until the series is finished to buy a copy, leading the publisher to think that nobody actually wants the book enough to continue the series, but it happens with indie creators too.

I've discontinued a lot of free, online series because it's not worth putting 3-5 hours a week into posting a project for no readers. Sometimes I finish the series for me but just never post it again, other times I don't finish it at all because it feels more worthwhile to put my time into other things. Sometimes I hear from readers who are sad or upset that I didn't finish something they were liking, but the *reason* it never got finished is because I didn't know anyone liked it. If you like something, tell the creator, tell your friends, make some noise about it. If you would be sad if a story never finished, make that interest known because one of my biggest considerations before discontinuing a series is "will people miss this? Will I be letting people down" and 9/10 times, I come to the conclusion of "no, it doesn't even seem like anyone's reading this" only to learn after I've moved on that apparently someone was.

I've said this before in a different way, and this post said it so well. With real examples. If you like something, tell people.

If you want more content from an artist or author, if you like their stuff, tell them. It will give them creative fuel to keep going. And often it gives them other resources as well. Recommend a work to other people. Leave a comment or a review. It doesn't have to be long, just genuine, a sentence or two. Not many people know that a book's success is judged by book reviews as well as sales. Review the book on Amazon or another site to help it pass the metric of success and be recognized by publishers and retailers.

Talking about it amongst yourselves in a Discord server or whatever doesn't count, by the way. You have to tell the creator, too. They're not going to hear about anything that gets said in your little server unless you tell them about it.

Yeah I'm still not sure if the fic I was involved with was actually getting traffic or not, but the silence and lack of engagement was a huge factor in abandoning my writing.

I'm fairly limited on my free time. Combine that with the fact that I don't have a comfortable space to sit down and write, and the thought of continuing my character's journey feels like a chore most times. So instead I end up doom scrolling or pissing my time away on some console game and come away feeling slightly depressed at no longer being creative.

And here's the thing... I want to do more with my characters. I feel like there are more stories to tell, but I just can't convince myself to sit down and write just for my own enjoyment, and I don't want to take the risk of screaming into the void again since my OCs are part of fairly obscure or dead fandoms.

Am I the mom friend? Absolutely not. But what I AM is the "prepared for any situation" friend, and THAT bears wisdom I can pass on

Step 1: Cargo pants, or purse, fanny pack, cool jacket, backpack, etc.

Step 2:

Folded-up plastic bag

Tweezers

Chapstick

Small knife

Lighter

Band-aids

Hand sanitizer

Hard candy

Travel-size Tylenol

Needle and thread

Safety pin

Bus fare

Charger

Pen/flashlight combo

Sticky notes

Granola bar

Tampon

Pad

Mini multi-head screwdriver

Zipock of tissue

Bottle opener

Hockey tape

This can be a lot to unload and re-load if you're a cargo pants person, but if you like me are not really a purse person I highly recommend either a cool jacket you can sew secret pockets into or a spare water bottle you can grab 'n' go whenever

I share this because being the guy who always has The Thing You Need is the best feeling in the world and I think more people should experience it

Ok but you'd be amazed what you can fit into an Altoids tin so that you can easily throw them in a couple pockets.

This has a measuring tape, phone charger cord,a knife (for when I can't carry my regular pocket knife), sewing supplies, lighter, duct tape, some bandaids, and alcohol pads, and a couple small zip ties.

Combine that with a decent size travel pill case, and some clever keychain accessories and you can be moderately prepared for a lot of situations.

I know chocolate prices are through the roof but if you don't make yourself destitute over material things in the name of religion, can you really call yourself an American Christian?
