Official ‘terfs get out of my house’ Post
having a headache while hydrated is so unfair. you were supposed to protect me.
I love people who have specific characters that are their "no one understands this character like me. not even the writers." because they're genuinely not joking. the way they understand those specific characters is so profound that it'll change your entire veiw.
"It's ok to disappoint people." has got to be MOST powerful, life changing advice I have ever heard.
If your gut reaction to this is "no it's not" I swear, I promise, that disappointing people, particularly disappointing people who have unrealistic, outdated, manipulative, or just plain wrong expectations of you, or versions of you in their head, is better than continually disappointing yourself. Signed, an inveterate people pleaser who FINALLY realized this and made my life almost immediately more authentic and fulfilling by acting upon it.
My least favorite things about anti- UBI discourse is always the techbros whining that "nobody is going to work anymore! People will just watch Netflix all day!" and I have 2 responses:
1) Who the fuck cares. Who the fuck cares what people do with their time! That's kind of the fucking point!
2) People aren't going to stop laboring. Housework (look, it's right there in the word!) will still need to be done. So will maintenance on our homes and personal spaces. Children will still need carers, as will the elderly and disabled. There are millions of examples of ~work~ that we do all the time, uncompensated, that won't suddenly stop because we aren't forced to sell our labor to provide corporation's profits.
I'm not surprised that what is traditionally women's work is invisible to these dipshits, but it never fails to anger me.
Anyway. Join the IWW.
Field studies have been conducted in several countries now, and the result is always the same - people will just flop about for a couple of months to recover from the burnout most people who have a job live with, and then they look for something to do. Some get a job with reduced hours, and some start doing charitable stuff like volunteering in soup kitchens and teaching others to do whatever their particular skill is. They socialize more, they are happier, and on average, people will work more, not less.
But the thing is, employers suddenly have to think about how to make their jobs appealing enough for someone to come and do them! It's hard to find someone to work for you for long hours under horrible conditions, if they can just choose not to; which shows you how voluntary our current system actually is.
🎶People won't stop working! If so, fuck it!🎵
1. I once called a helpline close to Christmas and at the end of the call was told "call back any time you need to, even on Christmas day." When I said that I didn't want to make anyone work on Christmas, I was reminded that the helpline was purely voluntary and there would 100% be people volunteering their unpaid time on Christmas day.
2. While employed I did next to nothing on my off hours and occasionally came home too exhausted or upset to even work on any of my hobbies.
I am now in university with an assignment deadline that was due over the winter break, which I initially thought was unfair and effectively left me with only two weeks of me time which I thought would not be enough to actually get some rest.
One week into said fortnight and I'm bored out of my mind, making plans almost every day because just sitting at home playing video games or drawing isn't enough for me anymore, I have to go out and get things done.
Even I, a disabled guy who historically has become burned out in every part-time job I've had and am still uncertain if I'd ever survive a full time job, am willing to get out there and work when I have nothing to do and enough money to live on (more or less).
Pilots of UBI have consistently shown that the only people who tend to work less when they have guaranteed basic income are a) students and b) new parents. Everyone else works more or less the same amount of hours as they usually would, because as others have said already, people like having things to do! People like working! What they do not like is having their work exploited, which is what UBI will allow them to avoid; if their boss treats them like shit, they can just leave. They can pick and choose what jobs they go into and how many hours they work at those jobs.
Employers will be obliged to court potential employees and offer benefits to tempt people in, rather than workers having to crawl on their bellies and beg for whatever scraps we can get just to avoid starvation and homelessness and cling, white-knuckled, onto any job we can get, no matter how shitty it is. So naturally they hate it and don't want us to have it, lmao. They want us over a barrel, and every time you argue against UBI, you're doing their work for them. 💜

I do drink alcohol
Just because I’ve seen a few alcohol-consumption polls going around and I always say there are a ton of reasons people may not drink and that’s fine!
This is a judgment-free zone, getting rude in my notes will result in deletion/blocking!

Reblog if it's OK for other artists to draw your OCs
And if other writers want to include them in fics, that's also totally cool!
And if other artists and authors want in on what they're seeing other artists and authors are doing, that's absolutely amazing and I want to see all of it always.
All that's needed is a tag to say "Hey, this is what I'm making them do," to which I will likely say "oh my [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] you actually used them and you ran with it!!!"
I saw something recently that said when we die our OCs die with us. If an OC moves you to want to create with them, please keep their ideas alive and their spirit active with me as your cheerleader by your side. My OCs are uplifting your OCs with love and friendship. Please keep creating. Your OCs are beautiful and are worthy of love.
Hot Writers Don't Gatekeep

Reverse Dictionary, you type in the meaning of a word, and it gives you a bunch of words that mean that. (MY MOST IMPORTANT OFFERING IN THIS LIST)
Slang Dictionary, what it says on the tin.
Anglish Translator, Anglish is if English evolved without borrowing from other languages and it really itches my brain (Anglish is if english grown without borrowing from other languages and it truly itches my brain)
Incorrect Quotes Generator, Put character names in, and incorrect quotes come out. Really fun way to goof around with your characters' dynamics.
Handspeak, an ASL dictionary
Library of Babel, Odds are, the finished version of your wip is in here somewhere

Mythcreants, has a whole bunch of stuff you can read to learn more about the technical aspects of writing
A decent article talking about what to think about when creating a language
Trope Talks, particularly good for beginner and younger writers or people who have a hard time reading. Honestly this whole channel is a fantastic format to get information into my adhd rattled brain.

Ambient Chaos, sometimes the only thing in the world that can kick your brain into writing mode is nuclear sirens and lofi beats

Food timeline, when foods were invented
“That’s why it’s hard to make friends when you’re older,” she said. “Friendship is rude.”
Her friend’s eyes widened. “What?”
“Think about it! When we’re kids we decide who we like and stick by them no matter what. As adults, we’re taught to be polite.
But, friendship is an imposition— at least, I want it to be. Call me after nine o’clock. Don’t think you’ll ever wear out your welcome. Overshare, show up at my door, go to the grocery store with me so we can waste another hour chatting.
We’ll never be friends if we spend all of our energy trying not to bother each other.”
“That’s why it’s hard to

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
No-Google (fan)fic writing
After this post about Google automatically enrolling everyone into their AI program (including reading Google docs), I realised that many people may not be aware that there are actually very, very good alternatives to using Google docs – although what they can do for you varies.
So, since I’ve over the years tested quite a lot of different applications for usefulness in writing fanfic, I thought I’d share some of my experiences here. The link list below will be expanded as I continue writing more pieces, so keep checking here.
Part 1: LibreOffice Writer
Part 2: Zettelkasten
Part 3: LaTeχ
Part 4: Markdown
Part 5: Obsidian
Note: I updated some of the posts with screenshots of the interfaces for illustration purposes. You might want to reblog those again.
