If this does not get you engaged, nothing will.

Republican fascists will not be going silently into the night. Centrism is dead.

Go left and stay left.

I’m having a very seizure-y night (yay) so obviously that means I have to ponder my TOTK Depths hyperfixation and wonder if the Depths are maybe supposed to be a direct correlation to Subrosia—which maybe means that the statues of the race that is sort of…vague COULD be a Subrosian?

It would be fun if Zonaite is supposed to be the “ore chunks” from OOS/A.

Or does this imply that Rauru and Sonia founded their Hyrule in Holodrum?? lmao

you are 16. you are talking with a gay man in his 50s or 60s, a friend, huge and gentle with a scarf and short fluffy curls of gray hair, who has directed you in two plays staged in your mid-size artsy town. (he has not yet asked you to be in his production of The Laramie Project which will change your life. this conversation will also change your life.)

he is talking about theatre. he is talking about theatre when he was younger. he says, "of course, it was AIDS then." in the pause, you ask him. clumsy and quiet and 16 and "straight," you ask him. what was it like.

he takes a moment in which his face is not like a person's face. "there was a time," he says, "i'm not sure how long, years. when i went to a funeral every weekend." he tells you about two funerals in a day, and choosing between friends when you couldn't make it to both. he does not look at you, he looks at them. his wet grey gaze is so clear that you start to see ghosts. it will be years before you understand why it feels like your grief too. why the ghosts call you family.

happy pride, family. i love every single one of you

Still thinking about the bird. Better with kids than he lets on.

Askbox is open if y'all have any fun ideas to draw!

Lesser-known steps of the writing process:

Finding all the paragraphs where you used some hyper-specific word more than once

Rearranging paragraphs that you swear you wrote in the right order but turned out to be totally backwards

Going for a walk, coming up with the perfect line, and forgetting it as soon as you get home and open your laptop

Creating a separate document where you can dump all of those nice sentences that no longer fit in anywhere

Waking up in a cold sweat because so-and-so was supposed to be barefoot but never actually took his shoes off

the most annoying stage of burnout is when i want to write, and i have the urge to write, and somewhere in my skull are the words that want to be written, but they have to get through the cursed minotaur maze first and nobody remembered to bring string

For no reason here is a library story

[theprofessional-amateur]

There will be millions of actions like this over the coming years. An important thing to remember is that for them to work (anywhere, not just libraries) is people absolutely can’t announce that this is what they are doing.

Not seeing constant acts of resistance doesn’t mean it isn’t happening all around you all the time. Some very effective methods require silence and secrecy.

Something to keep in mind.

anyways αὐτόχειρ is such an incredible word. being killed by a kindred hand is lexically indistinguishable from dying by your own. you cannot kill your brother in a way that does not also kill you

the way i’m hoping and praying that the DAV release will inspire a veritable SLEW of ao3 authors to return to finish their inquisition post-canon fics because i desperately want to see their vision vs. what actually happened
