On the recent anti semitism violence in Australia; I am floored. I’ve been very very quiet on this platform for a good while but I want to now scream my outrage to the universe.

Just what in the hell have Jewish people done to make people so determined to hate them? They have been continuously and systematically persecuted through history for merely existing.

To hear of this barbarism happening down under sickens me to my soul. In America this sort of bullshit is common but OZ?????

The hatred is spreading and something needs to be done.

I rarely delve into politics but…

These are our chosen candidates? A senile old man and a crotch-grabbing perverted celeb? Really? No wonder the US is up shit creek without a paddle. I’m not even going to vote because it’s going to tank no matter which one wins.

This is fucked up.

So my roommate got diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer this weekend and she’s being brought home under hospice care tomorrow. I am a complete wreck.

Hello! Will you finish the “To Serve and Protect” series? The Eruri one, I just really want to know what happens next!!! It’s such an entertaining story and I would love to see the conclusion of it 🥺

I will eventually get to it. So sorry for the wait! Sometimes the muses get sleepy on me.

[xylune]

stop going afk you bastards

Right then, this is annoying as hell. Pisses me off to no end when I'm trying to do a co-opt and one bloody person in the group has us sitting on our asses waiting. Please do not activate a co-op you aren't prepared to play, dammit. I don't care if you need to take a shit. There are people waiting on you.

Damn. Covid won again. I’m pretty in tune with myself and can tell when it’s more than seasonal allergies. Turns out I was right when the pounding headache and sore throat accompanied the urge to sneeze.

Fortunately my manager took it seriously and didn’t question me. Pretty sure I caught it from another manager that came down with it a few days ago.

Listen to your bodies folks. Ugh!

Me: *agonizing over whether a semicolon goes here, what the proper dialogue should be there, other assorted rules and semantics*

Terry Pratchett: "!" said the stranger.

THAT'S ALLOWED?

[serricoj]

Writing is for communication. Sir Terry knew very well that anything's allowed if it helps you communicate something effectively.

[emptinesstomelodyao3-deactivate]

It's always

"When will fanfic writers update their stories?"

And never

"Does this fanfic writer have adequate enrichment to engage in writing behaviours?"

Fanfiction writers (Scriptor fictus) are intelligent animals who need plenty of enrichment as well as encouragement! If they're stuck in poor conditions (e.g. have studies, work, have to actually write to have something written) then they require the proper enrichment to engage in more healthy behaviours, like writing. Remember, due to poor breeding and socialisation, over half of all fanfic writers suffer from low self confidence and executive dysfunction so take care of them!

Give your fanfic writers proper care. Fanfiction writers are a life long commitment.
