Into The Never

I USUALLY write sapphic urban & dark epic & contemporary fantasy with Bi leads & stabby little demi love interests. I also have masters in psychology & it shows.

I’m starting to think I need a fanbase for my OG WIP the way I somehow ended up with one for my Supergirl fics 😭

because y’all have actual, measurable power over my brain

like I’ll be stuck for days, maybe weeks, staring at the same paragraph like it personally wronged me… and then one (1) comment shows up and suddenly I’m writing four to five chapters in two days like I’ve been possessed

it’s some kind of weird magic. I don’t understand it. I’m not questioning it

but I would like to harness it for my original work because right now y’all are the only thing keeping me from wandering off into the woods mid-draft

so yeah. this is me gently suggesting I may need you all to bully me into finishing my OG WIP too 😌💛

partially-managed mental illness is so fucking funny i'll be sitting around doing my job and suddenly think "wow i hate myself" and immediately get confused because, like, that's not TRUE! i love myself so much. who are you to talk to me like that

Washington Post is paywalling the article but it looks like Taylor Farms — a consumer bagged salad brand that also supplies produce to grocers and fast food chains like Taco Bell, Walmart, McDonald's, Chipotle, Burger King, KFC, and Meijer —may be at least one of the sources of the current cyclosporiasis outbreak.

Taylor makes bagged greens, salad kits, chopped salads, the works. Keep avoiding supermarket greens, but keep an especially close eye out for this brand/supplier. The above list of grocers and fast food chains is NOT exhaustive, so please continue getting lettuce and other raw produce taken off your burgers, sandwiches, etc.

Their other brand is EARTHBOUND ORGANICS!!!

I'm gonna say it, I do think that even the laziest person imaginable should have a roof over their head, food in their stomach, and access to healthcare

I feel like simply calling JK Rowling a transphobe isn't strong enough anymore. Like. This is not your grandpa calling you by your deadname at a restaurant kind of transphobic. This is her wanting to eradicate all trans people (with an extra special hatred towards trans women specifically). This is her trying just that by personally funding transphobic hate groups with millions to push around laws in the UK. It is not hyperbolic to call her a dangerous, genocidal maniac.

It's not about cancelling a problematic writer. It's about literally trying to save lives by denying her as much money and power as possible.

[amuseoffyre]

She also royally screwed over a domestic abuse charity in Edinburgh purely because the woman running it was trans and was ensuring equality for all staff, but when one of the staff got aggressive about knowing what was in a non-binary person's knickers (if you're asking "what are you *really*", that's what you're doing), it all kicked off. According to staff who worked there at the time, they were subject to harassment and threats by the affiliates of that woman.

Don't believe her when she says she cares about welfare of survivors of abuse. She brought to bear her wrath against that charity, doing unimaginable damage and causing fear and distress for the employees as well. She attacked Amnesty International and has threatened them as well.

She's also gone after neurodivergent people and ace folk as well, not to mention so many of her associates are now known affiliates of right-wing organisations. When you get this toxic in so many directions already, the sky is the limit for how bad it could get.

why are all these modern aus for the Odyssey set in a high school. where's the retelling where Odysseus is just a guy lost in an airport who keeps missing his connecting flights home due to a comical series of delays and disgruntled airline employees

Don't just leave these gems in the tags!

I absolutely love ships where one character is usually serious and distant, but when they talk to that one person, their voice turns soft and gentle and is suddenly filled with fondness that they don’t show to anyone else.

Wildfires in northern Ontario force First Nations to flee

Several wildfires are forcing members of a number of First Nations to flee their homes in northern Ontario.

“I had time to run home and pack a bag and get to the beach where the boats were waiting,” said a member of Namaygoosisagagun First Nation (Collins). “We literally had minutes to get on the boats and flee before it took our town. “Once we left my house finally after packing what I could in a pack sack, the fire was right behind our place. We had to run to the beach and once we got there, it was only moments before the fire had jumped over the (train) track and was coming for us.”

it has since been confirmed that namaygoosisagagun first nation has completely burnt to the ground. if you would like to help the community navigate an ongoing crisis, i urge you to donate to the anishinabek nation 7th generation, a registered charity seeking to improve the lives of first nations people. donations are going directly to members of namaygoosisagagun first nation.

i feel like there is a sleep in me that needs to be slept but each time i sleep i don't sleep that sleep

[caffeinewitchcraft]

A 75 yo man proudly came into the cafe wearing an Ultra Maga hat. I excused my barista from the register to handle the transaction.

"The hat is customizable," he said, struggling with the velcro patch on the front. "If I need it, I have an ICE one too. I pick based off the business i walk into."

"Customizable is an important hat descriptor," I said. "what can I get you?"

"You wouldn't believe how offended people get these days," he said. "And I'm supposed to do something about it if you're offended? You chose to be offended!"

"We all have hundreds of thousands of decisions everyday," I said. I thickened my accent. "That's what my stepdad always said. But I can make one easier - we have a delicious Ethiopian roast available."

"Like if I told you you have a bull ring," he said, "because bulls have rings in their noses. Is that offensive?"

I laughed. "I've heard that before."

"It's a joke, but people get offended. Maybe you're offended."

I looked at him. I smiled. "You aren't trying to offend me though, right?"

Of course he was. I was being friendly and the friendlier I was, the faster he switched topics. He was saying anything inflammatory he could think of to see if I'd take the bait. After about 20 minutes of my redirecting and deescalating, he settled into a more normal interaction. He took up too much of my time showing me a product I'd feigned mild interest in to get him to stop talking about getting accused of inappropriate behavior at work. When we finally disengaged, he spent 10 minutes trying to catch my eye again. When he failed, he left.

There's this new breed of customer who insists on trying to incite political conversation through their clothing and, when that doesnt work, their snide little comments. If I owned my own business, maybe I would have given the guy the fight he wanted. But I work for a corporation and I love paying my bills so I deescalated.

Anyone wearing that type of shit and preying on workers for their own spank bank material is a brainless fucking sheep.

something i want to mention because i’ve seen it growing as a trend online is that not only do people do this just for their own gratification, but watch for glasses. smart glasses are a growing segment of the consumer market, and creeps like this are harassing people in public in order to gather content without the victims being aware they’re being filmed

good job on how you handled it, op!

Indeed, spotting Meta glasses in the wild just got harder in 2026.

They are no longer exclusively Ray-Bans.

10 Unconventional Torture Methods

Quick content note: this one's about writing torture scenes for fiction, so it gets into wounds and pain in some detail. Skip it if that's not your thing today.

Want a low effort torture scene that still actually hurts? Here are some idea:

1. Salt in the Wound: The phrase exists for a reason. Salt in an open wound is agonizing, and it's sitting in every kitchen on earth. No special equipment, no expertise, just cruelty.

2. Chili Powder or Ground Spice in the Wound: Same idea, worse. 

3. A Cut Placed Just Under the Eye: This one's nasty because it compounds itself. Every time your character cries, and they probably will, the tears run straight into the cut and burn all over again. The pain becomes inescapable from their own body.

4. Reopening a Wound Right as It Starts to Heal: Biologically it's called disturbing the granulation tissue, the fragile new tissue that forms while a wound heals. Mess with it before it's ready and you get that raw, wet, mushy mess that hurts every single time something touches it. 

5. Sleep Deprivation: No blood necessary. Deprive someone of sleep long enough and they start hallucinating, losing track of time, and falling apart mentally before the body even gets touched.

6. A Single Repeated Sound: More psychological torture than physical. A drip. A tap. A song playing forever. It wears down a person's mind hour after hour until they'd confess to anything to make it stop.

7. Sensory Deprivation: Total silence and total darkness sound peaceful until you're stuck in them with no idea how much time has passed. The brain starts filling in gaps that aren't there, and you end up terrifying yourself.

8. Tickling: Sounds ridiculous until you remember it's been used historically to the point where people genuinely couldn't breathe properly. Sustained tickling on an already sensitive or injured area stops being funny fast.

9. Extreme Temperature Swings: Extreme heat, extreme cold. Alternating between the two, over and over, so the body never gets the chance to adjust to either one.

10. Forced Stillness: Making someone hold one position for hours does something to the body that people don't expect. Cramping, nerve pain, and eventually the joints themselves start to protest.
