Hi!

I'm so sorry there haven't been any updates to "And that's how you make history, baby."

I've had some awful medical issues with my wrists. It's called De Quervain’s Tendinosis. I had surgery on my right wrist in early May. THEN my left wrist started with the same issue. It's very painful, and by the time I'm done work, which requires 90% computer time, I'm in too much pain to write but I do get some writing in on the weekends.

But I'm still committed to finishing it! Even if everyone has moved on.

However, I probably won't get surgery for the left wrist until December. They try cortisone shots first. I've already had one, and it did nothing. In fact, I think it just made it more angry.

I hope you all are doing well!

CANCER

Cancers are like introverted Leos. I think Simon is truly introverted. Therefore, I believe he's a Cancer.

One time, I was on Coronado Island during SDCC and saw you. It's probably been 12-15 years now. Since that day, sometimes when I feel out of place because maybe my style or vibe doesn't match the crowd I'm in, I think, "Stop! Be as comfortable and confident as Neil Gaiman walking around wearing all black in the California sunshine!"

This sounds very wise. I long ago learned I'm more comfortable feeling like me.

Random thought: I disagree with Omar and Edvin when they said that Wilmon would be dog dads.

I think Simon, who is really independent, would appreciate a cat more. I could totally see a black cat softly purring on his laps while he is making music.

Wilhelm would choose the cat because he loves to make Simon happy. Maybe the cat would also remind him of his boyfriend with his black fur and irresistible cuteness. After a little while, he would be proud to have earned the cat’s affection (unlike with everyone else who automatically sucks up to him because he’s a Prince).

[zolyarozanova]

I AGREE.

And they would adopt an orange cat because little Salem needs a brother (and because Wille wants another one, let’s be honest). They would name him Arthur, after the king and Arthur Weasley cause in my hc Wille is a HUGE potterhead.

Little do they know that little gremlin carries the energy of 3 crackheads.

So anytime Arthur does something insane, Simon just, side-eyes Wille and says “That’s your son, you go deal with that..”

Yet… at the end of the day, Salem curls up with Wille and Arthur curls up with Simon on their bed…

Perfect harmony.

Yep. My face matched Nikita's when they said this.

I never knew that I had a favorite multiplication formula. Apparently I do. Because I had an aggressive reaction to the attack on 7×3 = 21 .

i just heard the phrase “if you wouldn’t trust their advice, don’t trust their criticism” for the first time and i don’t think i’ve ever needed to hear anything more

We really do need to bring back the word "trolling" and warning ppl not to feed the trolls

[shamebats]

That TikTok of ppl pouring tomato sauce directly on the counter, adding spaghetti & mixing it with their hands while commenting how great of an idea it is? Yeah, we used to call that trolling, it's pathetic & bc all they want from it is attention, the best thing is not to give them any. Block & move on.

I keep seeing it on here too. Someone comments something outrageous on a post & gets dozens of ppl to respond, filling the entire comment section & making it unusable. And on Instagram, a comment saying "I hate colors" on a post of someone showing off colorful art gets 100 replies while positive comments get none. Congrats, you've fed the troll. Now stop doing it.

[shamebats]

Trolling used to get you banned from forums. Now they call you an influencer and give you brand deals & ad revenue. That's why it's more important than ever not to feed the trolls, especially in spaces where any attention is good attention and getting yelled at by 10k ppl in the comments counts as "engagement", boosting your troll post in the algorithm.

[waybeforeyourtime]

In between the origin of the word and this was when you were called a 'troll' for disagreeing with someone.

An online community existed for a long time before the masses showed up. We were a community, a culture. We had specific social norms and words. Then the fucking iPhone showed up, and it was an invasion of people who didn't bother to adapt to the already existing community. They didn't care to adapt to a different culture. Worse, they didn't bother to understand the nuances of interactions online vs offline.

i think we're all too desensitized to "Adam lived in an apartment located above the office of St. Agnes Catholic Church, a fortuitous combination that focused most of the objects of Ronan's worship into one downtown block." because i'm thinking about it again and maggie was actually insane to write that

You're right over on reddit. yrtwt are hypocrites for attacking edvin/felicia about Palestine while supporting Musk by using twt. He's pro-Israel.

I sat on this one because I've also been struggling with my feelings about Reddit too. More on that after my response to this.

Yes, I 100% agree. It's next-level slacktivism—attempting to force someone else into activism while you contradict yourself and/or do nothing on your own.

Some random 20somethings aren't going to end a conflict that has been going on for over a century.

I've also been struggling with Reddit in general. The interactions over there just don't bring me any joy, only frustration. The thread you referenced sealed the deal for me.

Because my AuDHD brain fixates on something, and I couldn't just stop going there, I've deactivated my account. I pulled the plug. I ripped the band-aid off. I've been going back and forth about this, trying not to go over there, but I couldn't stay away.

I've said several times over there that Tumblr is truly the most sane and friendly platform for fandom right now.

And, really, I need to spend the time I wasted over there writing and reading more.

I'm not going to put this in the YR tags either because I don't want to spread the discourse over there.

me every time I need to explain that the new Ryan Gosling movie 'The Fall Guy' is inspired by a very popular TV show in the late 1900s.
