It's a sequel to my touring production of Act 1 down the aisles of Lidl which admittedly received mixed reviews

1) lined
2) wool
3) dress pants
4) plus size
5) women
you can have 2 of these and neither can be "wool"

trying to declutter as I prepare to move out and it is SO HARD to let go of clothes that are still perfectly fine but don't fit anymore because it's basically impossible to replace them with an equivalent new item. Who even makes cotton skirts in fun prints anymore!!!

I for one welcome my new Bean Overlord (gender neutral), maybe if we had more autistic people in charge the trains would actually run on time

everything I've achieved so far I did despite. trying not to think too much about what else could have been possible

actually I am a bit angry about this, imagine how many sick pornographies I could have written if I'd gotten the right support at literally any point in time before this week

tbh this has been a problem for years now and I suspect the major issue is developmental editing. Especially new authors don't seem to get the benefit of having somebody tell them how to fix the (understandable! normal!) problems with their stories the way they used to

also WHERE ARE THE EDITORS. why are we not preventing this. why do we allow perfectly good potential to stay buried when a lot of these novels could be massively improved by basic editing.

I told a friend yesterday and she was like "can I say congrats? yes actually you should celebrate" πŸ˜… because now I know it's not my fault, it really IS easier for other people

my unhinged tip is using a vibrator on the muscles to relax them, you have to experiment with the intensity and the exact spots to aim it at but it really does loosen everything up

I'm getting physio on mine currently and yesterday my jaw clicked so hard when bro was moving it around that he went "oh boy oh boy" πŸ’€ and everybody tells you to just "reduce stress" as if that's ever how it works!
