Choosing To Allocate Spoons To Hanging Out And Having A Good Time At The Cost Of Perfectly Completing

Donald Trump signed an Executive Order to defund libraries!

SHOW UP FOR OUR LIBRARIES! 📚 CONTACT YOUR CONGRESSPEOPLE!

Ok, I feel like I have to say this and I don’t know if it’s going to come off bitchy (I’ve been called this before for my opinion on this site...) or if anyone is actually going to read this and take this to heart or if I’m preaching to the choir! But I feel as if a lot of writers are giving up writing their pieces and it kills me because I’ve literally been in that same place.

I always hear people saying that the hate they receive is what helps drive them to stop doing something they love. I hate that. I hate that no matter how much love someone can get, it doesn’t matter if people continue to hate on them! I, for example, am so happy that I have enough motivation to ignore most of the hate I’ve received.

Look, I don’t care if you reblog or ignore this but if you are by chance reading this then drop a comment in your favorite writers inbox or ask box and let them know you appreciate them. Like, comment, and reblog their beautiful works. Make their notes increase as much as you can and let them know they are doing a great job. It always makes my day and I know it makes others day. Dont pester them with demands for a part 2, tell them you loved the first part and WHY! Most times when writers are asked for a part 2 they have no idea how to expand on it because they don’t know what you like about the first one. TELL THEM.

Share the love and stop the hate. Share their work. REBLOGGING IS YOUR FRIEND, REBLOG TO LET OTHERS READ THEIR WORK!

Ok, I’ve said my peace. Thank you for listening! Please share this so others can read it.

I see a lot of posts saying "teach boys about consent".

While that is true, a lot of parents will do that and fail to see how their own actions are the problem.

If you've spanked him, he's less likely to understand consent.

If you've forced him to sit on Santa's lap, he's less likely to understand consent.

If you've forced him to give hugs and kisses to family members, he's less likely to understand consent.

If you've grabbed him in order to force him to sit still, he's less likely to understand consent.

If you've labeled him as "too sensitive" for not wanting to be touched, he's less likely to understand consent.

If you've assumed he's okay with something because he technically allowed it even though he felt pressured, he's less likely to understand consent.

If you're only going to criticize his actions but not your own, it won't work.

I'm not even like deaf or hoh but if you're adding subtitles to something I think you should always transcribe foreign languages too. None of that [Speaks Spanish] shit. You don't need to translate it to english. But you need to at least give the option for a deaf person to read it and understand it themselves. I don't care if it's not important to the plot. I don't care if it's just them saying like Okay or Damn or whatever the fuck. Write it down

Let’s do this #EthicalMemes

ai covers make me so uncomfortable dude. like i know hearing characters or creators sing songs is cool cause its like wow youve never heard them do that that sound cool but like man if that was my voice and people did that id be fucking ill. that would make me so anxious that people were using my voice to make whatever they wanted to hear even if it was nothing malicious. ‘wow that sounded so good, x has so much potential if they did this!’ well they didnt. because they didnt want to. and it wouldnt sound like that anyway cause its fucking ai. but you made them do it anyway i guess

Abortion Access Resources

Abortion is still legal in some US states, despite the Dobbs decision.

Hey, everyone, it’s a horrible day here in the United States with Roe and Casey being overturned. But rather than lose hope, let’s keep the fight going because there’s a lot of incredible work being done on the ground. 

Here are some places you can donate to, and some further info:

Independent Clinics: Abortion Care Network Abortion Funds:  National Network of Abortion Funds, funds by State, Midwest Access Coalition

Information on Medication Abortions (abortion pills)

State by State trigger laws map with Roe being overturned 

RewireNews  (legislative tracker) and the excellent Boom! Lawyered podcast for repro rights news and analysis

New Handbook for a Post-Roe America: The Complete Guide to Abortion Legality, Access, and Practical Support by Robin Marty. Also! Consider requesting your local public library for this book if they don’t have it in their catalogue yet. 

Let’s be kind to ourselves and each other today, but let’s not lose hope. The fight continues.
