i think we should extend a little more grace to people who were indoctrinated who have realized their way of thinking is wrong/harmful/problematic and are now doing the work to unlearn large portions of their belief system

hello physically disabled person reading this. it is not your fault that your medical supplies are made from a lot of single use plastic and you can continue using them guilt free. your health comes first. thank you for existing.

I feel like when I say ‘relatable’ what I really mean is ‘resonant.’ I don’t want characters who I feel are like me, I want characters who have emotions so strong I can feel them through the page.

Old WIP I’m probably never finishing. That visual of Bunny is Richard’s dream was so fascinating to me.

Nader @abdalsalam2000 is in Gaza during an internet blackout, he and his family are in serious danger and they can’t communicate it to the world because the internet is cut off and e-sims are very slow. He’s a 17 year old boy who is fundraising to support his family of eight, including his father who is sick with cancer and needs treatment. Please help me share his story while he is away. i’ve only briefly heard from him in the past few days, and the situation is extremely dangerous. He doesn’t have the ability to reach out to people how he usually would, so I hope you will help me share his story and do that for him while he’s away

€59,995 raised, they’ve almost reached 60,000!! Please keep supporting Nader

I want to share something urgent and important with you. My name is Abdul Rahman, I'm 23 years old, from Gaza, and I currently live with my two young sisters. Moments ago, the Israeli occupation forces fired a rocket near the building where we live, and the situation is getting worse.

My sisters and I need your help. We need donations to feed myself and my family while we survive in these difficult conditions. I ask you from the bottom of my heart to donate whatever you can to help me. No amount is too small.💔

Today, my friend donated 5 euros—can you match or even double his donation? Please don't ignore this request. My family and I need you now more than ever.

I started reading my comfort book again- how does it get better with each reread?!

Many such cases

Captions shouldn't be censored. If the video says fuck or cum or cunt the captions should say the fucking word.

[ferretsarefurryappendagedsnakes]

I hate when a tiny stupid thing pushes you over the edge and makes you freak the fuck out because it makes you look like a completely irrational tar pit of a human being. Like no I promise this is warranted just maybe not about that specifically I swear I'm well adjusted. Come closer stick your fingers in my cage

[ferretsarefurryappendagedsnakes]

clicking a pen over and over again is actually fun as fuck its a shame it makes everyone in a 30 foot radius want to kill me with a rock

Suicide

Eight years ago I lost a child to suicide. It changed my life forever but this information has to be kept to myself the majority of the time. Before I lost Tina, I never thought about what to say to people when they suffered a great loss. Like most people I would say I am so sorry when I would see friends that had lost loved ones in their lives. But just like Andy Warhol used to say that people have five minutes of fame in their lives, the truth of the matter is most people have about five minutes of sympathy for those that will live the rest of their lives in sadness all the while pretending that everything is fine. I am not complaining, but simply stating a fact. If a tragedy happens to you, you will find that most of the world forgets about it after the first few months. Most people never ask you directly how you’re doing because they figure enough time has passed so that you have healed, which is important to people in the world. Let me tell you something: you never heal from losing a child. The pain of that loss is like a low-grade fever and it’s there simmering along with you and your life for the rest of your life. How can you possibly forget? Its like having one of your fingers cut off and thinking you still have it. I went out to dinner with some old friends the other night, whom I love very much. They’ve been a part of my life for a very long time. I do notice, however, that even with people like this if I bring up my daughter’s name or want to talk about her there’s a distinct chill in the air and a nervous pull -back from the conversation. I want to say to these friends ”Hey! I’d like to talk about my daughter and I’d like to talk about stuff she did and how wonderful she was and how funny and how educated and how loving she was.”

I know if I did that it would make my friends uncomfortable and they would try to change the subject, thinking it wasn’t good for me to look back or to dwell on the pain of loss. They would be wrong. It is good for me to be able to talk about my daughter with certain people. I love to reminisce about the things that she did. I love to talk about how smart she was and how much fun she was and most of all how much I loved her. What I’ve learned in these eight years since she’s been gone is that it’s very tricky and that you have to be very careful who you discuss these things with because the majority of people are very uncomfortable with other people talking about loss. I’m writing this because I still think it’s important for people to know that those of us who have survived the loss of a child would really appreciate the opportunity now and then to be able to talk about that child without having others be so obviously uncomfortable. I’d love to be able to cry in front of people and have them be OK with that. I’d love to be able to show my grief to my friends and have them sit and hold my hand and just quietly listen without having to jump in and change the subject thinking it was bad for me to be dwelling on this. It’s not bad for someone to express the pain of this kind of loss. It’s really helpful to be able to have a safe environment in which you can do this. It’s so comforting to have conversations where you can reminisce about the person that you’ve lost and it’s so comforting to have people also join in and share their memories. Let me be very clear: you never get over this loss. It doesn’t matter if it’s been one year or 20 years the pain is still there as if it were yesterday. You just learn to hide it from the world.

If there’s one thing that you take away from this short essay, please don’t let it be pity. Let it be the understanding that for those of us who have suffered this kind of loss, sharing the loss and sharing the memories with people we love is how we continue to heal, and what keeps us engaged in life and in joy. Tina was a joyful person and I love to remember that. I will also always remember the strength of her love for me which sustains me now and will do so forever.

People still tend to lump JK Rowling in with the category of ~problematic artists~ and I need everyone to understand that is not the problem with her. She is not comparable to anyone who wrote a piece of fiction you hate, or someone who made rude comments in 2015 and has since learned better.

She is far more like Elon Musk. She is a radicalized person with an extreme amount of social and financial power, and for YEARS she has been using that power to try to influence her government into hurting vulnerable people, on purpose. And she has succeeded. THAT is the problem with her, and THAT is why spending money on her books is so dangerous, not because her books aged badly.

Critiquing her work is fine, of course (I personally was never a fan so I really don’t care) but you NEED to understand that fiction is not the main issue here. And I truly think acting like she’s the same as the rest of any giant list of ~problematic creators of the week~ waters down how dangerous she is.
