Nearly slid into a ravine, but I found this cool waterfall. Also, can we talk about how big and broad shouldered I’m looking these days? My BSC shirt used to look like a dress on me, and now it fits so well

Hey there! I'm non-binary and I recently came out, I don't know where to buy a good binder and I was wondering if you had any suggestions? Thanks :)

Hi! The best binders are definitely GC2B’s binders. I have two, a half-binder and a full tank that I wear all the time.

Can we stop pretending that being constantly negative about men and boys is cute, quirky or funny, because it’s really none of those things, it’s gross and mean.

That’s it. I want to be a gigachad.

My transition goals are to look so cishet that if the word gay is even so suspiciously uttered from my mouth some sjw will break into my house, skin me alive, and call me a homophobic cishet male misogynistic privileged asshole with a fragile masculinity and then run off to go make a text post about it on tumblr.

things I learned about writing from writers

Dickinson: don’t Be afraid To Capitalize—and—use dashes—Wherever you Want—

Faulkner: your story doesn’t have to go in any particular order or follow any conventional sentence structure to be powerful. Also, it can be a good thing if the reader has to read everything at least four or five times. Make them work for it.

Fitzgerald: don’t be afraid to kill off the hero of the story. Also, use vivid and colorful descriptions. The green light, the yellow car, the pink suit.

Hemingway: sometimes sticking to the plainest prose and the simplest syntax is the most powerful way to make a point. Especially if you combine this tactic with stories that can be read on several different levels.

Shakespeare: when in doubt, add some cross-dressing. 

Harper Lee: a six year old can make a hell of a protagonist. 

Steinbeck: writing can be an extraordinary vehicle for change. Use it.

Austen: male and female relationships and dynamics are timeless. If you write about this (and write about it well) your work will still be relatable to readers hundreds of years later.

I saw this on my professor’s door and I can’t even deal with the accuracy.

though I still love Chronicles of Narnia the older I get and the more I learn the clearer it becomes to me why it would have driven Tolkien completely insane

People understand me so poorly that they don't even understand my complaint about them not understanding me.
