Wait I Didn’t Read He Comments... Don’t Attack Me...

Reblog if you don’t give a fuck about this mass murderer’s, “troubled past”

Apparently, One Day at a Time is in danger of being cancelled!

Please tell everyone you know to watch at least four episodes over the next few days to ensure that it gets picked up for a third season!!!

This show covers topics ranging from depression and PTSD, to alcoholism, sexuality, and racism, all while being incredibly funny and never making fun of the topics it discusses so thoughtfully.

PLUS, it features a Cuban family with a gay daughter and a single mother who just so happens to be a veteran and a nurse.

I have never loved a TV family more than I love the Alvarez family. I have never cried over a TV family more than I have with the Alvarez family. And I truly can say that the finale of season 2 was the best episode of a sitcom I have ever seen.

Please, I’m begging all my followers to not let this beautiful show get cancelled because Netflix yet again doesn’t advertise the true gems in their library.

This cannot be another Sense8, where we watch representation get cancelled over another Adam Sandler movie.

Reblog and watch the show please!

Janelle’s encounter with an onion that scarred her for life. 

Art Theft by Old Navy

My art gets stolen all the time.

I have been through many copyright infringement cases - some have been resolved amicably, and there are ones that have taken more work. This case against Old Navy (Gap) is not getting resolved right now because Old Navy is denying copyright infringement. 

They are being totally unapologetic, and have said that it would be a “bad business decision” for me to expect to be reasonably compensated for the use of my art. Instead of compensating me, they have chosen to pay a large law firm to fight me, and have even asked the judge to order me to pay THEIR legal fees.

When a company as large and mainstream as Old Navy steals my art and profits from it, and is unapologetic about it, I cannot afford NOT to fight this. My lawyers and I will be fighting this for as long as it takes.

Thank you for all your support. Please feel free to repost this!

Someday there’s going to be a historical American Girl doll named Emma or Ella or some shit and she’s gonna have sillybands and get her Netflix DVDs delivered in the mail and be so fucking excited about getting her flip phone for her 10th birthday all because she was born in like 2003 and I’m not ready for that.

Essay-writing PSA

Dear Students: as Spinster Aunt of Tumblr and sometime College Writing Instructor, I have unsolicited advice for you. Do sit down and have a cup of tea.

Writing is a learned skill.

Writing is hard.

Writing gets easier with practice.

The quality of your writing does not automatically reflect the quality of your ideas.

By the same token, a critique of your writing is not the same thing as a critique of your ideas. 

(I’m putting that in bold because I think it’s very important; I have seen lots of creative, insightful ideas hidden in bland or unclear prose.)

Essay prompts are designed to help you.

Office hours are designed to help you. (If your teachers don’t have office hours, it’s probably because they cannot afford to. It’s a long, sad story.)

Time spent with your own ideas is always worthwhile.

Time spent revising your own writing is always worthwhile.

Go forth and conquer! Send your ideas out into the world! And remember: writing is a learned skill. Writing is hard. Writing gets easier with practice. Oh, and tea helps.
