This has been a PSA.

Rb to give the person you rbed from a warm blanket and their preferred warm drink

I used to wreck myself every November trying to win NaNo, I'd stay up way too late, I made my caffeine addiction worse, and it'd leave me exhausted for the next few months (before that became my regular state). And none of it was even needed 'cause I write all the time anyway.

When I see people stressing over NaNo I tend to feel like they're hurting themselves and I get the impulse to be obnoxious. I don't want anyone hurting themselves but I also know that some find NaNo to be helpful and fun.

So I'll post some reminders than leave writeblr alone:

Take care of yourself through November

Maintaining your sleep schedule is important to staying healthy

Stay hydrated, highly caffeinated drinks can dehydrate you more

Make sure to rest your wrists and eyes and get up to stretch every so often

Remember that your brain needs a break sometimes too

Don't hurt yourself to make the deadlines

If you are hurting yourself, it's OK to just stop anytime, all the words you've written won't be wasted because you quit

In fact any words you write are never wasted

It's OK to not do NaNoWriMo

It's OK to do it with a smaller goal

It's OK to not win NaNoWriMo

Be kind to yourself

Whatever you decide to do, I wish you luck and love. 🍀���

Just to be clear, when I say someone is sexy, I don't mean I want to have sex with them. Sexy is just a term to me. One I use when I have a visceral attraction to someone but no interest in sex. Hope that clears things up.

(patronymics/matronymics or first/given names or surnames with multiple parts is not the same thing)

Honestly I keep forgetting middle names are a thing until americans or whatever talk about them. Is it common where you’re from?

it sucks that the money you get to spend on like rent and gas is the same money that you get to spend on records and plushies. there should be a serious currency and a fun currency

I would also like to know the answer to this question 🤣

i hope you write (i hope we both write)

[crystal-librarian]

people who do not write will never understand when we say the characters and the story have a will. at some point i am not even writing it i am just narrating whatever the fuck they do.

Voting as an Aussie and not getting the option to buy a democracy sausage at your polling place is just… upsetting

This post was made by a YES voter. “No” voters can fuckoff.

absolutely ashamed to be an australian tonight, I wish I was surprised by the referendum result but I am not and I am sorry and very sad for the message that this sends to our indigenous people, i really don’t know how we move forward from here

[crystal-librarian]

as an australian i am disgusted. to see my country so proud to be racist? im genuinely sick.

today, over 50% of australia have voted against giving indiginous people a voice in parliament.

THIS is what we talk about when it comes to australia being racist. its fucking casual, its disgusting. and people try to hide and say "well look indiginous people dont like it" THEY DONT LIKE IT? OR IS IT THEY DONT EXPECT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE WE HAVE LET THEM DOWN SO MANY TIMES?

this country needs to change.

This is a sad day. My heart goes out to all the Indigenous peoples who are hurt by these results. This is just gross. Right wing fearmongering, vile racism, and bold ignorance have won today. Check in on people. Comfort each other. Remember we are a community and we'll continue fighting as a community for better outcomes and more say and self determination from Indigenous people.

And for those who need it there's the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander crisis support line 13YARN on 13 92 76
