Ariana is BACK IN THE TRENCHES 🗝❄️🎄

If I were a ghost showing up during a seance, I'd probably keep apologizing for not being scary enough and then I'd somehow trip on an ottoman even though I would be incorporeal.

Rose is having trouble breathing and the steroids don’t seem to help. We absolutely must get her X-rays to diagnose her ASAP.

Hey would anyone read a book (na, science fantasy, isekai) that starts like this

DIY > AI

"You attract what you fear."

Oh my god nooooo, unlimited free time to write my weird little stories in a secluded forest cabin, AHHHHH, get away from meeeeee

Graphic labeled "Trans books by a nonbinary author". Three books by Tabitha O'Connell are depicted: "Structural Integrity" has an illustrated cover with a young man walking toward an ornate wooden door looking back over his shoulder and holding out his hand to a man who stands in the lower left corner, his head and shoulders visible from the back. “Structural Strain” has an illustration in the same style of two men standing in front of an archway with a building in the background. One, wearing a green robe, stands right at the edge of the arch with a nervous expression, holding a suitcase in front of him. The other is in the foreground, only visible from the waist up, and is facing the first man with his hand held out. text beside these two reads "Trans man x cis man, dual POV". the third book is "Dirt-Stained Hands, Thorn-Pierced Skin", which has a border of leaves and red roses, with the title text in a decorative font taking up most of the space. The title is overlaid on a castle with a blue sky behind it. in the foreground is the back of a person with short hair in a plain shirt standing facing the castle. text beside this one reads "Nonbinary MC (ey/em pronouns)". text with arrows pointing to all three reads "Strong character arcs, Cozy domestic moments, Dose of angst"

A crumpled piece of receipt paper on a wooden surface. On the paper is a single phrase: "Wow, this guy sucks."

When I have downtime at work I like to write stuff for my wips on paper scraps so I don't forget them. I usually bring them home, folded up, and throw them on my desk to find later. Today I opened one up to find this SUPER important excerpt I simply COULDN'T afford to forget.

Tried to refresh my knowledge of how many circles of hell there were in The Divine Comedy but accidentally typed "corcles" and completely distracted myself by saying it over and over again in the goofy voice

I know many of you haven’t had a Covid shot in years but please, this is so important to call your reps and yell at them about. This is one of the few safeguards immunocompromised and disabled people have against this disease that everyone seems to not be afraid of anymore. Covid still kills people.

Finally writing again!!!!! 😊😊😊😊

It's fanfic and not my actual wips 😭😭😭😭

Practically tearing my hair out at this point. It's been months since I've made progress on a WIP. New WIP ideas come instead of words for current ones. I just want to write!!!! Why can't I write!? What am I doing wrong!?

They’re so jealous you can write.
They’re so jealous you can draw.
They’re so jealous you can make music.

They have all the money in the world, but they’ve been driven insane because they don’t have your joy.

Curse of the outliner w the pantser soul where you Want to write more but physically can't unless you Know what happens next

Goddamn unrealistic paranormal capitalism

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

I found a non-exhausted list of Indigenous radio stations that you can donate to in order to keep them afloat after the defunding
If anyone has a better list, please let me know, and I will happily repost it (I couldn't find anything on here)

Insane nightmare I had where I received an incredibly personalized query rejection on a full and not only did the agent rip the manuscript to shreds but she also tag-teamed in two other agents at her agency to dunk on it.

“I take it you abducted my travel trunk at the same time you abducted me?” he asked wryly. “It was the only polite option,” she assured him. “You see, none of the men’s clothing left with me across the years would have been nearly large enough to fit. You wouldn’t have cared for it at all.” His expression was skeptical. “And you were, of course, terribly concerned about my preferences when you chose to abduct me.” “Of course!” Lorelei said piously. “I might be wicked, darling, but it’s never necessary to be cruel.”

After Trans People, Trump Now Erasing Bisexual People From Stonewall National Monument The "History and Culture" page no longer includes bisexual rights.

1. Earlier this year, Trump erased transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument webpage, digitally burning the history we helped create.

Now, he's doing the same to bisexual people.

No marginalized group will be safe from the admin's moving targets.

You know what, fuck it; You want strong women? How about polyamorous lesbian dragons, 12+ butches, a fat trans femme romantic lead, and lesbians everywhere?

"All the strong women are lesbians" is a skill issue, and I'm not giving them back.
