Someday Your Hands Will Be Old And Wrinkled, The Skin Spotted And Bunching Over Your Knuckles. And A

Readers, make sure you have all your favourite Ao3 fics downloaded.

Writers, make sure you have copies of all the fics you have posted on Ao3.

I don’t want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I'm a bit worried about it 😅

Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.

Ghosts that should exist soon if not already

Notifications/typing noises in otherwise empty spaces

People waving you over from the side of the road and asking if you're their Lyft. Disappear the moment you look away

Abandoned warehouses that sometimes reverberate with an unheard bass

'Cold spots' where you can't get signal (that cannot be otherwise explained)

That dispensary with the blacked out windows? It used to be a Blockbuster until the manager got shot. If it's the right kind of night and you look real close and cup your hands to block out all the light? You can watch it happen, but they might see you

Newsletters from startups that no longer exist

Hype House haunted by the reason they had to make an apology video

Pictures of a stranger in your camera roll

At 2:30 every morning you can hear a ringing bell coming from the elementary school. Thing is, they switched to a digital tone in 2013. Also, it cannot be captured electronically

Welcome to Denny's what can I start you on? You already ordered? Wait.. Tall, pink hair? *sigh* Been dead for a mtonth and she's still stealing tips

Save what’s left of us. 🙏💔

Hello there, 🙏💔

I’m reaching out with a heart full of both hope and hardship. 😔 My family and I are in Gaza, and life has become a daily struggle due to the ongoing devastation and conflict. 💔🌪️ We’re doing our best to get by, but even the basics are difficult to come by. 🍞💧

I know that people around the world have shown great compassion to those affected by crises. 🌍💙 If you’re able to support us with even a small contribution, like 10 euros, it would truly make a world of difference. ✨🙏 This support would help us meet our needs and take a step closer to finding safety. 🕊️ Our only hope now is to leave Gaza for a safer place where we can rebuild our lives and look forward to a more peaceful future. 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️❤️

If you were in my place, facing what we face every day, what would you do? Any kindness you can offer would be a light in this darkness.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any kindness you can offer. Your compassion means more than words can say, and we deeply appreciate it. 💖🙏

With all my gratitude and best wishes for peace for you and your loved ones, 🌈🕊️

We tried once

To be a normal family

Took a photo with all of the aunts and everyone lined up

Arms over each other's shoulders

That picture is on the wall now

And for it having my family in it, how it makes me think of them, I like it

But I don't like it

For how it makes us look normal.

We don't put our arms over each other's shoulders

We lie on top of each other

Foot in my eye

I'm lying on your spleen

And we hug by squeezing like we'll never let go

I called you a cheese earlier, and it's because I love you that we talk this way

And I wanted cheese

Built a tower from cans and posed

And that's how we say 'i love you'

'i love you' and 'i know' on the poster on your wall

I quote it to make a reference, because I've read it a hundred times,

But I don't like Star Wars.

One way or another, maybe our family is especially odd.

But I don't think normal is real.

We relate oddly, like everyone else.

I don't have aunties

I have aunts

Maybe you have aunties, but you're no more normal than I.

Merry Christmas.

SAY NICE THINGS TO PPL

Imagine an internet with only text and no images. Your online friends can never know what you look like. Tragic and dramatic.

Funny thing about growing up is you start to realize the current vibe of the place that you live is like a vestige of the vibe it had before you were born. We're on our way to a new vibe now and I was born in between. My dear hometown, pick one and stick with it.

Hey fun fact people care about you
