Reblog if you will never. Ever. Use AI in your writing.

I hate when king arthur has all these fussy little steps in the instructions and you're like "no way do these fussy little steps matter" but you try it and they do. they matter so much.

[bookaddict7342]

I thought you meant Camelot quests and I was like "that's fair, 'never pick a four leaf clover on the last Wednesday of the month' IS a fussy little step that shouldn't matter" but then I was like "wait isn't that also a flour company"

nooo I am not a beleaguered knight of the round table I am making elaborate focaccia 😭

Round Table bake-off?

Thoughts and prayers to my European mutuals suffering under their omega heat

[commercial announcer voice] Are you a powerful, respected, masculine-presenting fictional character whose career and social status would be destroyed if the truth about your secondary gender were ever to become known? [revealing product] Omega Block.

Now available in "intense."

Omega Block: It Works Every Time! (Except that time you forgot to use it just before finding yourself in an isolated location with your alpha crush/rival/frenemy.)™

[takepenandink]

Ah, that special and very particular type of brain-hiccup and "Wait, what?" that only occurs when real life and fandom cross streams...

(Also surely there are distinct comedic parallels between omega heat & intense summer weather: sounds great in theory, should be a fun time all round, but in reality after 24 hours people are just tired, sweaty, irritable, dehydrated, and need to go lie down in a dark room with an enormous glass of iced water)

And this is why I’m putting Windows 10 on my new PC.

It's in windows 10 too :( I just checked my system and had to turn it off.

#i've hand cranked an lgbt sausage or two

[takepenandink]

If ever there was a month to hand-crank an LGBT sausage...

[chaoschaoswriting]

The only writing advice that matters is this:

Persist.

Against all odds, despite doubt and scorn, with joy in your heart,

Persist.

Fly in the face of common sense and refuse to grow old where it matters most - your mind and soul.

Persist.

[shamebats]

[kabretoss]

It does matter. It matters exactly like this.

Last month I was in the ER, the most vulnerable emotionally that I've ever been while putting myself in the hands of a stranger. That the intake doctor had a lanyard heavy with Pride pins mattered. It's such a tiny gesture, but the amount of safety I felt because of it, during an agonizing moment in my life, was huge.

[elkian]

We recently moved to rural area and some neighbors have straight up MAGA flags so the person with the biggest flagpole for miles around putting up a GIGANTIC Progress Pride flag last June and this June has actually meant a lot to me.

Happy 100th birthday to the great David Attenborough, and let's remember, amid all the recollections of his many contributions to nature and knowledge, that young Attenborough could definitely get it.

Dr. Gladys West. 1930 to 2026.

Born on a Virginia farm during the Jim Crow era, Dr West became one of only four Black employees at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in 1956 and the second Black woman ever hired there.

The mathematician's calculations quietly became the backbone of GPS technology used by billions of people every single day. The world has navigated by her work for decades before it learned her name. That's the kind of legacy that doesn't need a spotlight to be real. It just is.

We honor Dr. West and the long line of Black women who built the future while the world looked the other way🤎

Rest in power, Dr. West. We see you now.

C'mere. Listen. There are people out there whose sheer inability to write would dazzle you - lots of them - whose writing is so bad partly because they are so stunningly confident in their own ability that they have never even for a second questioned whether it's possible for them to improve.

These writers are indescribably better equipped to succeed - success, here, being gaining a readership and possibly an income - than writers who spend any amount of of time thinking critically about their skills and improving at their craft, simply because they're prepared at all times to promote their astonishingly bad writing.

This is the actual yard stick you're being measured against in the real world, not whatever standard you're holding yourself to in your head. You can't writhe around in fear of people judging you while the world lavishes that guy with attention and money.
