Last year it was yarn skein pride earrings, this year I lost my mind and made some floral granny square bi pride earrings. I love them, this is going to be a problem because I covet afghan square patterns but don't need more afghans so now I have an excuse to make things from those patterns, my hand hurts already.

The pattern for the square is on Ravelry, if you want it: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/playing-in-the-poppies. I used Lizbeth size 20 crochet cotton to make them.

I did list these on Etsy if you want some and don't want to make your own, which you can find here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1744767181/pride-floral-granny-square-earrings-cute. So far I've only made bi pride ones so those are the only photos, but I'll add photos as I make other flags if anyone asks for them!

writing is weird because sometimes I’ll have no ideas and everything in my head is kind of quiet but then something will happen and it’s like there’s these goblins living in my brain that just start shouting little phrases at me until I sit down and finally write the poem or story or whatever

[circeswife]

ancient greek and roman poets:  sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story

me, banging pots and pans together:  wake the fuck up goblins!!  what the fuck is up!!

[h-brook-writes]

Thank god someone and their goblins finally put it into words

i’m so tired of arguing about the importance of hope and happiness in fiction. it’s literally saved my life. if that’s not how it works for you that’s fine, but don’t take away our lifelines and then tell us we should be grateful because drowning is more realistic.

#our hope dies enough times let’s see times where it lives (via @madamescarlette)

[cannibal-rainbow]

“they” (1 word) is shorter than “he or she” (3 words)

“they” is more inclusive than “he/she”

“themself” flows more naturally than “him or herself”

“they” is less clunky than “(s)he”

it’s time to replace the awkward “she or he”

“hey can you go ask they what does they want for dinner, and when is they coming over to watch movies with they?”

“Hey, can you go ask them what they want for dinner, and when they’re coming over to watch movies?”

Step one is learning how to talk like a human person.

We’ve been using they/them/their pronouns to indicate a person with unspecified gender for a long ass fucking time. The only reason it’s become a big issue lately is because it can be used as a semi-respectful term for trans and non-binary folks and we can’t have that can we

These fucks are literally trying to change our language to hurt trans/nb folks, and claiming that’s just the way its always been

[signawyvern]

It’s in the Oxford English Dictionary as a singular gender-neutral pronoun so anyone who says it’s not grammatically correct can suck it, plus when is grammar more important than affirming the existence of people?

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s prompt was “characters you loved from books you didn’t”, but that doesn’t quite work for…

It’s Day 1 of Camp NaNoWriMo and instead of writing, I’m re-outlining my broken mess of a WIP for First Draft 2.0. It may be April Fool’s Day but clearly I am the fool :)))))))

My Camp NaNo Day 1: surely, this, the fifth time I’ve restarted this novel - surely this is The One. Surely.

I’m literally only reading this because Alex mentioned it on an episode of The Cryptid Keepers podcast and I would straight up consume any media even briefly mentioned by her or Addison.

[scribbles-and-knots]

What else have y’all read entirely because someone mentioned it? I read My Sweet Audrina when My Favorite Murder talked about it (as I’m sure thousands of others did!).
