do you have any advice for people who want to admin an rpbut have never done it before

I do! But, and I’m really sorry, but I’m going to link you to a post I made a few months ago? I really wish I could ramble on about new advice I might have, but I don’t feel like the words are coming as naturally as they did -- I’m clawing these sentences out of my chest, and I want to give you the best I can. And, evidently, I can’t do that right now.

But, here’s a little list filled with advice I made 2 months ago, and it all still holds true -- and, it might be for the best that I linked you, since I’m not sure I have much else to add. Still, I’m sorry if this seems like a cope-out; truly, I’ll be back to normal soon. I promise.

What tablet for you use for drawing/graphic design and what tablet do you think is the best for that kind of work? I've always loved art and have been looking into turning my stuff into digital prints and would love anything you could suggest :)

For personal use, I use a (horrifically cheap, as far as drawing tablets go -- I think it was 60-70 dollars on Amazon?) Monoprice 10x6.25 inch tablet, and then when I’m doing proper work, I usually switch over to my Intuos Pro? But, that was given to me by my office, and I don’t entirely think a Wacom product is necessary; my trusty Monoprice works just as well, and while it’s a bit clunkier, and the 10-piece keys are a bit obnoxious to use when you’re around other people (very loud, very clicky) -- truly, despite the price difference of nearly 300 dollars, I don’t actually see much of a difference.

I hope that helped even the slightest, and if you end up buying a tablet (and posting your lovely art to Tumblr, of course -- watermark everything) let me know! I’d love to check it out, and plaster this blog (and my personal blog) with all the pretty art you’ll create.

Hey momma, I need some advice. I started going to this church recently and they seemed very nice and excepting, and in a way, they are. They aren't preaching hate but when I went to lunch with some of them today they started talking about a girl in youth whose a lesbian and about wanting to tell the pastor so they could "do something about it" and how "its blasphemy for her to chose to live that way" and all this garbage. Their intention is to get her to heaven, yes, but I feel that outing her/?

will ruin her relationship with god and the church, as well as the fact that it makes me uncomfortable as well. (As someone who s also LGBT+) My question is, should I talk to her myself? I found her facebook and I want to message her telling her that they're saying this and that they dont mean harm but I dont want her to get blindsided by them or the pastor? I'm not sure if it's my place or not but I feel like it would be wrong to let it happen when sh doesn't deserve that treatment.

I definitely think you should at least reach out? Maybe she won’t want your help, and then I’d definitely back off -- but, even if it’s just introducing yourself and explaining the situation bluntly, it’s good that she knows what’s going on. And, I’ve never been to church, so my advice might be entirely irrelevant, but I think that, as a fellow part of our community, it’d be nice for her to know that you’re there for her, and that there are other people in your church that are part of the LGBT+ community. 

If you were trying to convince her to leave the church, or even to stay in the church -- I’d say that’s not your place? But, if you’re just going to tell her the situation, and give her someone to relate to, and confide in? Personally, I think that’s the best thing to do.

But, again, that’s just my take on the situation, and I’m completely uneducated in how church communities usually are, and if there’s any way that messaging her can result in her being hurt or outed, I’d definitely not do it. But, from my standpoint, it just sounds like you’re trying to help her out however you can. Which, obviously, is really lovely.
