Hi friends, I need some help here. I know a lot of you are barely keeping your heads above water, financially, or are already drowning yourselves. But maybe some of you can help me.

Last year I broke a tooth. It's in the front and I really don't want to just get it pulled (which is all my insurance will pay for). But to get a crown and all the stuff that goes with it is a bigger expense than I can cover. Now usually I'd try to save up for it, but that broken tooth is now hurting me as infection sets in. I gotta get this squared away quickly.

I'm having trouble with bills already, plus paying for someone to keep my daughter when her regular respite worker is unable to but I still need to keep appointments for myself or my mother. (mom is 81 and has afib, kidney disease, and congestive heart failure. she's going to the doctor a lot)

Anyway, long story short,

I started a GoFundMe for the dental bills.

I also could use some money for the other stuff but that's not as urgent. My cashapp is finally set up: $beingagreenmother and there's still my ko-fi

even if you can't help, if you could reblog and share this around that would help too

i wish you'd write a fic where...

Peter is obsessed with Stiles to the utmost degree. Can't stop thinking about him. He thinks he might be cursed.

Isn't this just canon? 😆

But for real though, Peter getting in so deep with his crush on Stiles that what started out as paranoid obsession loops back around to just paranoid. Stiles is a dumb kid, Stiles is the Clever One tm, Stiles is the most fascinating thing on the planet, Stiles is a mastermind, Stiles MUST HAVE PUT HIM UNDER A SPELL–Nothing else explains why Peter finds it so fascinating to watch him drink mountain dew in his yoda pajamas and fail at COD for 48 straight hours Peter used to be smart, he used to be powerful, he used to have a life outside of stalking this walking teenage disaster-

Listening to songs and thinking about something the songs aren’t about

[lady-averie]

This might be unpopular but I’m not going to use simpler vocabulary in my writing if it’s out of character for the narrator. If my POV character is a botanist, he’s going to call a plant by its name. If you don’t know what it is you can either Google it or move on just knowing it’s a plant of some sort.

I don’t like this trend of readers being angry that not everything is 100% understandable for them. I want my characters to be believable as people and sometimes people use words people outside of their field will not understand. That’s not a bad thing.

You don’t have to understand every word to get the gist of what’s happening. I’m not going to slow down an action scene to describe every weapon because someone might not know them by name. They can just assume it’s a weapon because that makes sense in the context of the scene.

I just had a debate with myself over using the word mezzanine, wondering if I should describe it instead. Ultimately I decided the character would call it a mezzanine, and therefore readers could look up a new word if they didn't know.

It's how I learned words like myriad as a seven year old reading Lord of the Rings for the first time, why would I steal that experiance from someone else by simplifying language?

I don't know about y'all, but books are how i know my vocabulary in the first place

[homoqueerjewhobbit]

If you're not learning words from books, how are you learning them? From Decemberists songs?

Hey! Just a reminder! AO3 does NOT have an app. This garbage was made by theives who steal fan artist’s work and sell it back to you.

“Oh, but it’s free!” There are ads. They are making money off of this. They are stealing from the creators you love and you are hurting those same creators if you use this app or any similar app.

Don’t use it. Report it at every opportunity.

You are Julius Caesar, and you are in a council meeting. Suddenly, Brutus stands up, then the rest of the council members. Then a hundred other time travelers draw their daggers.
