Quick writing tip: if you want to write a scene, just do it.

Got an idea for a scene, but don't know if it would fit in your WIP? Just write it anyway!

Get a journal, or a new document, and write it. Yes, even if it's completely out of canon. Yes, even if it's self indulgent. Yes, even if it feels like a waste of time. Why?

Increases your worldbuilding and understanding of characters

Improves your writing skill

Parts of it could be used in your WIP

You could write an incredible line you would never have thought of otherwise

Stops burnout and creates passion

It's fun, and that's what writing should be.

Now go and write that scene! Have fun!

Keep fighting

I’ve been wanting to share this comic ever since I noticed that after the first two weeks of protesting most of social media started “going back to normal” as if there aren’t still people walking out and protesting making sure this movement doesn’t go silent or looked over. I appreciate every single individual that is out in those protests helping and being vocal for this change. Also those continuing to spread word and help out through petitions and donations. I wish y’all to stay safe and well.

i know it’s been said but basically this is one hell of a weird time to be expecting MORE out of content creators. Firstly not everyone has any extra time on their hands, and besides, time is only one small part of what the creative temperament needs. The sheer amount of stress and uncertainty we’re all under is not exactly conducive to an outpouring of artistry for a lot of us. 

It’s awesome if you DO thrive under pressure, but if not, please don’t beat yourself up for not being able to create right now.

Abandoned Detroit House is Transformed with 36,000 Flowers

In November 2014, florist Lisa Waud bought this abandoned, crumbling duplex in Detroit Michigan. Winning the bid at $250, Waud had not even seen the home. Her vision was to transform the location into an art installation called Flower House.

To ornate the home, Waud invited florists Michigan, Ohio, New York and Canada to install different flower installations in every room.

Please be careful of what kind of information you are spreading

[riceblush-deactivated20181229]

do not let white academia fool you into thinking that

the greatest authors that were and ever will be are white men

every great philosopher came out of europe

mathematics and science were at their highest point when used by white men

the most beautiful city in the world is paris

colonialism was a golden age

europe is the pinnacle of civilization

how do you all feel about math equations in books??? (i want to know how much of my opinion is influenced by my bias haha)

[thequietauthorwrites]

Knee jerk reaction is to say I'd throw the book away. But I'd have said the same to an entire blacked out page before I read Lemony Snicket sooooo...

Can I ask the context please? 😊 Super curious now.

Another black man was murdered by the police.

Rayshard Brooks was shot by Atlanta police last night (06/12/2020) during a traffic stop. The 27-year-old was transported to the hospital where he would die.

According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, this will be the 48th case of police shooting in 2020 that they are being told to investigate.

[bombnails]

as of tonight ( june 13, 10:11 pm ) Atlanta protestors are reporting that police are becoming more violent and detaining people. Please donate to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund to support them in their fight for justice for Rayshard.

Ok, y'all. I've seen the shit commentary, I've seen the "lolololol wtf is this why wouldn't you show your face at protests, don't you want to put your face out there?"

And THIS IS WHY. Cops are ABSOLUTELY retaliating against protesters for the act of participating in protests. They ARE looking at your social media and using it to trump up charges. They've been doing this for... ever.

If you don't care for yourself, fine. Take that risk yourself. But you don't get to make that decision for other people. Don't upload identifiable information about other protesters. This isn't about "Main Character Syndrome" or whatever ridiculous shit you've convinced yourself of, this is happening.

And if someone is actively telling you to put your face out there on the internet and the face of others being at protests, either they're SUPER naive about the potential consequences of doing so, or they're not actually on your side. 🤷‍♂️

Personally, I'm leaning toward "there are a lot of uniformed and naive people out there," because I don't think cops are out there acting like jackasses on Tumblr. But like.

Don't be one of those people. Don't encourage people to upload images of the faces of protesters or shame people for not wanting images of themselves uploaded.

Don't.

Support the BLM movement. Black people were the backbone of the pro-LGBTQ+ protests and riots in the 1960’s and without them, we would not have the rights that we have today. The LGBTQ+ community is an inclusive one, and it has no place for racism. We stand with our black siblings. We need to be loud and we need to be heard. #BlackLivesMatter

here's a carrd to send pre written emails to ask for justice for several of the victims of police brutality and racism

[pwesident]

Heads up, everyone should be writing their letters, it’s easy to set up a filter and send pre-written emails directly to the trash bin or a spam folder, and it’s even more likely to happen with a hostile force like the police.
