Yeah, yeah, finding meaning in a stagnant life is a beautiful message, but have you considered the second, equally as important message of TADC that is estrogen would have saved her?

‘Isn’t she lovely’ is a song about the birth of a new girl. Which could mean nothing.

Apparently a lot of people get dialogue punctuation wrong despite having an otherwise solid grasp of grammar, possibly because they’re used to writing essays rather than prose. I don’t wanna be the asshole who complains about writing errors and then doesn’t offer to help, so here are the basics summarized as simply as I could manage on my phone (“dialogue tag” just refers to phrases like “he said,” “she whispered,” “they asked”):

“For most dialogue, use a comma after the sentence and don’t capitalize the next word after the quotation mark,” she said.

“But what if you’re using a question mark rather than a period?” they asked.

“When using a dialogue tag, you never capitalize the word after the quotation mark unless it’s a proper noun!” she snapped.

“When breaking up a single sentence with a dialogue tag,” she said, “use commas.”

“This is a single sentence,” she said. “Now, this is a second stand-alone sentence, so there’s no comma after ‘she said.’”

“There’s no dialogue tag after this sentence, so end it with a period rather than a comma.” She frowned, suddenly concerned that the entire post was as unasked for as it was sanctimonious.

And!

“If you’re breaking dialogue up with an action tag”—she waves her hands back and forth—”the dashes go outside the quotation marks.”

Oh my god thank you. No wonder grammarly keeps complaining about my punctuation when I boot my writing up into word counter

CATRADORA | YOU'RE KILLING ME

*song- "YOU'RE KILLING ME" by Lights

It’s wild that I can say I’m on amphetamines to improve…I’m gonna be honest, I wasn’t paying attention when they were being prescribed to me. Nonetheless, it’s funny to say I’m on amphetamines.

Because I am.

There’s nothing more to this post. It’s just a thought I had

Also, I am not a good role model. Please pay attention to what your meds are supposed to do so you can tell if they’re not working.

You know that feeling when you’ve got all these amazing ideas for that project you’ve been working on, but just cannot find the energy to put it into place? Gods that feeling sucks, because for me, right now, they ent even big ideas, they’re just neat little things that probably wouldn’t screw up the code *that* badly. But no, my brain has decreed that actually we’re too tired for this rn.

Oh yeah, also fanfiction. I wanna write my fanfiction. I’ve got, like, three books worth of ideas but can never seem to have the energy to write it down. I’m doing it, just a lot slower than I would have liked, and a lot less frequently

Long before the introduction of color film, a Russian chemist and photographer named Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky used an innovative technique. He took three individual black and white photos, each through a colored filter (red, green, and blue), to create fully colored, high-quality pictures. The photo of this woman, taken by him, is around 107 years old!
