having adhd and being a creator is like being on a timer. oh sorry you have this art idea? well you have approximately 12 hours to start it and 6 hours to finish the task or else you will lose interest and inevitably move on. oh you have an idea for a one-shot? well you’d better finish it in a day unless you want to banish it to your wips forever. ding dong bitch

As someone who has been the only poc in many primarily white spaces I often get asked "How do we get more poc to join us?" Which is kinda a fucked thing to ask and place the burden of figuring out on some random colored in your group but like lucky them I am actually passionate about increasing diversity in all spaces. So I see a bunch of people asking "what can we do about tumblr being so overwhelmingly white?" Of course just like in those other spaces they're placing the burden on others to figure out but let's discuss it.

Just inviting poc to join is not enough, they left for a reason. What needs to be done is fostering an environment that actually feels safe and inviting for those from ethnic and racial minorities. For starters, you see that post by, for, or about poc? You don't need to respond with some manner of "I'm white but..." Also show interest in cultures that aren't your own without prefacing it with how white you are.

Stop mocking aave, it isnt "genz slang", that shit is so embarrassing

Stop being condecending, holy shit the attitude of some of the people here reminds me of every white kid at my old pwi the way you look down on other people who don't have access to the same information you do. If you're an asshole to all the strangers you meet online and the poc on this site are already feeling unwelcome for other reasons, you are the one running them off the site

Stop assuming everyone around you is white. Its becoming like a self fulfilling prophecy atp

Uplift and share around the actual voices of poc on here, and not just on posts about racial justice but just in general. If we feel seen we're more likely not to leave and new poc joining the site won't feel as isolated

Stop being weird about random poc, if you find yourself commenting on a picture of a black woman, stop for a moment and ask yourself "would I use these words for a white woman? does it feel dehumanizing or objectifying?" (Y'all can be so weird about hot black people)

Seriously stop talking about how white you are, idc if you're trying to prove you're "one of the good ones"

Don't use racism as a " gotcha" when youre having your online arguments. It shows how little you actually care about racism as a societal force and you just treat it like a buzzword to shut up the other white people here

Make friends with poc, not just on here but like everywhere in your life that you can. So many people on here don't have any friends who are poc. I get it, maybe you grew up in a bougie white neighborhood where the only poc you saw where the landscaper but like its 2025, there is no longer any excuse. Go talk to people online, I am sure that whatever your interests are there's some poc out there who shares them (and this doesn't mean go seek out poc as your token friend, it means when you do meet poc online treat them with respect and dignity and maybe they'll give you the honor of being your friend

Lastly, care. Care about poc. Care about our pain and struggles. Care about things you have never and will never experience. Care about those victims of police brutality, of genocide, the people being thrown in fucking concentration camps and being ripped away from their families. Show compassion because those are not random hypothetical people, those are the people of color you're asking to join this site.

I think more characters should have moustache hairs and moustaches. Not just cis men btw. Stubble and chin hair too. And sideburns. And bushy eyebrows

[failboyshitstorm]

ok this is sick as fuck

[failboyshitstorm]

what are considerations nonblack creators should keep in mind when writing Black characters as romantic interests/ships with Black characters? (assuming all the 101 stuff like "don't write Black men as sexually aggressive tops" and "don't write Black women as sexually aggressive tops either" is already on the board.) or even just stuff you would personally like to see?

I don't really know how you want me to answer that first one, because that's a broad question that is answered by every lesson I've ever written 😅

Stuff I'd like to see more really is secure, gentle, and happy Black masculinity that isn't threatened by Black women. Like ofc he's not perfect, but if there's one thing I can give Mr. CBC credit for, is that we have never once had a Gender Role issue Ever. Like at no point has "well as a man I need-" EVER come up when being confronted with something, and I respect that so much. He is not intimidated by me, not by my degrees, how much money I make, me being opinionated, nothing. So much of Black womanhood is being forced to belittle yourself, or being treated like you're an arrogant bitch if you dare... Like and respect yourself. I love seeing Black women characters be loved wholeheartedly, Gomez to Morticia type shit.

why isn’t anyone allowed to be wrong anymore? it’s okay to be wrong. being wrong, and realizing you were wrong, is how you learn and grow.

Found a book that summarizes literature and literary figures in text form, and the Byron one might be the best thing to ever happen.

I love his hands. All the ways. The Professor really knows how to put his anatomy lessons to practical use. A personal grievance with Ficbook: this drawing didn’t make it past moderation because of its “sexual content.”

Let’s bring Flash development back so 14 year olds can create extremely violent and greasy minigames about eviscerating Labubu and upload them to Newgrounds.

This is my GTFO of Texas GFM. I’m gonna copy/paste below what I said about it on BlueSky:

I’ve no idea who to tag or send this to other than like one person so anyone sharing would be much appreciated 💕

Ideally I’d leave Texas with $10k but that would be too much to get in such a short time 😔 the car I’m looking at is $7k but I couldn’t get one last year so not expecting one this year. My main focus is going to be on being able to leave Texas. I know some people have much smaller goals but I’m going to a high living cost area and taking all my debt with me. I mention it in the fundraiser, but I do have people I really trust where I’m going and I have a friend who’s been shopping around for jobs & living spaces I could apply to. Min wage is just under $18 but taxes are nearly 20% 😭 I don’t expect to be cohabiting for more than a month but you never know. And I plan on splitting living costs with those I’m staying with until I get my own place as I’ll be there in their own home eating food, taking space, using water and electricity… it’s only fair. But if this goal is met, regardless of how much I’m able to save on my own, I’ll have a great head start on being able to take care of myself and live 100% on my own for the first time. I also realized I didn’t include my phone bill… luckily it’s $12 a month for my device and I send $20 to my grandma (I’m on her plan) every month, so that would be easy to take care of on my own.

I will be saving up as much as I can but my currently monthly bills total to just under $1500 so it would mean the world to me to have just a little bit of help, even just a share. Need to GTFO of TX.

Again, thank you to anyone reading this and my GFM page and extra thank yous to those who donate/share 💞

To the person anonymously writing slowburn office lady yuri in my DMs

I don't know why you've chosen me for this harassment campaign you've embarked on. I don't know why you feel that my DMs are a better medium for this story than, I don't know, posting them on a writing website?? Or on your own blog??? And most importantly, I don't know why you are laboring under the delusion that I can't report you just because you are sending the chapters anonymously -- I can in fact, and you would be IP banned.

I'm issuing you this ultimatum right now:

Stop sending me your slowburn office lady yuri

OR

I will report you

OR

Send me the next chapter within 24 hours, because are a fucker for where you left it off, and you have not sent a new chapter in several days. I need to know whether, when they were the only two in the office late at night after a brutal crunch week, and the stars could be seen in the sky due to a power outage on their block, and they talked about life, they actually do kiss or if that's another fakeout, of which you have done MANY.

My patience with you has worn thin. Stop sending me this story, or send me more, or I will report you.

Good night.
