rolling badly is something that can be so good for developing your character, actually

Putting this as its own post because it deserves to be its own post.

If you want to be good at any kind of art you have to take the part of your brain that tells you “everything must be a wholly original idea formed in a perfect clean room environment” and you have to rip that synapse out of your skull, put it through a shredder, stomp on it, light it on fire, then pour it into acid, because it’s a liar and will never ever help you.

its really crazy how people love to blorbopost about how their blorbo is a War Criminal Scrunkly but those same people will act like you ate their dog if you so much as imply that scrunkly has any textual relation to sexual violence

me: I have GOT to get weirder!

also me when I do get weirder: *visibly shaking* I'm going to be killed with hammers by everyone for being a freak.

PLEASE for the love of the universe read anti-colonial science fiction and fantasy written from marginalized perspectives. Y’all (you know who you are) are killing me. To see people praise books about empire written exclusively by white women and then turn around and say you don’t know who Octavia Butler is or that you haven’t read any NK Jemisin or that Babel was too heavy-handed just kills me! I’m not saying you HAVE to enjoy specific books but there is such an obvious pattern here

Some of y’all love marginalized stories but you don’t give a fuck about marginalized creators and characters, and it shows. Like damn

bro notions of authorship in american folk music…

that’s where it’s at, the uncertainty of not even knowing whether YOU are the author

I was reading an article on Wikipedia about Mangoes and this picture hit me:

[ ID: Screenshot of a photo in a Wikipedia article of a mango tree planted in the backyard of a house, surrounded by white walls. Sunlight shines on it. The caption reads: "Mango tree in Palestine". /End ID ] (ID wrote by @tortiefrancis <- added from his reblog after the post was posted)

Do you think this tree is still there? Walls of the house and the family who was taking care of it and eating its fruit still alive and safe?

I will never forget this genocide, I will continue to talk about it.

We will never forget this genocide, we will continue to talk about it. Spread the word, donate, protest.

To all people in Gaza: I love you and I hope your home will be free and able to rebuilt itself soon. As Palestine. I hope you can plant trees and enjoy their fruit in peace.

Help Palestine. Free Palestine.

you are good even when you are unemployed.

you are good even when you need to rely on others’ help.

you are good even when you are depressed.

you are good even when you are hurt.

you are good even when you are scared.

you are good even when you are overwhelmed.

you are good even when you are not tidy.

you are good even when you are confused.

you are good even when you have difficulty performing tasks.

you are good even when you feel like you’ll never measure up to being an adult.

symptoms are not morality.

idk maybe a weird ask but any advice on how to enjoy romance books without being bummed out by discourse? i know they aren’t the pinnacle of literature or anything, but the recent stuff people have been saying about romance not counting as books has been kind of discouraging. have no idea why i’m asking this, i just wanna read my silly gay romance in peace without feeling guilty i’m not reading Super High Brow Literature. currently my main method is reading out of sheer spite, but any other advise is helpful. it’s not even just online, i get this irl too.

hey man in the most respectful way possible. who gives a shit. reading is for fun and guilt is for catholics. do whatever you want forever.
