This is a post that’s not about animals, but instead about what this blog has brought into my life. Because I want to say thanks.

If you’ve been around since the beginning, you’ll know that this space is where I first learned to fact-check, and where I fell headfirst in love with doing it.

In the earliest WADTT posts, I repeated a lot of common wisdom and things I’d been told from single highly visible sources. I was fresh out of college and fell into the trap of feeling like an expert based on a discrete set of experiences. It was you, the blog readers, who pushed me to ask “why?” when I was told something was true, and question the sourcing for everything. As the blog grew, so did the depth and breadth of what I fact-checked, and the lengths I’d go to find an answer. My independent projects grew out of that, such as the cat data paper and the legislative analyses. But there’s more than came of it…

That’s all a long-winded way of leading up to saying that, because of this space, I work as a professional fact-checker now! WADTT was not just what sparked my passion for fact-checking, but also my first work experience. It is what got the first company I contracted with to take a chance on me - they actually knew of the blog!

I work mostly on science videos and articles, and recently, I’ve branched out into fact-checking non-fiction book manuscripts. (Did you know that most non-fiction books are less rigorously checked for accuracy than magazine articles?) It’s one of my favorite things to do with my time, and it is still incredible to me that it’s a real adult job and I get to do it.

I’m posting about it today because I want to brag, just a little, about this incredibly sweet article that was written by one of the authors whose manuscript I worked on this spring. She told me she was writing an article about the experience of fact-checking from an author’s perspective - I had no idea her praise would be this effusive. It’s so validating: I started here on Tumblr, with you, working to correct misconceptions about animal content, and now I get to fact-check things for a job and professional people value me as a fellow actual professional. Insert internal screaming here.

So yeah. This is a thing I get to do because of this space and the support and enthusiasm about it from everyone over the years. It’s amazing.

(Also! The book discussed in this article, The Possibility of Life, is amazing and I highly recommend you check it out when it’s published next year. It’s a look at about how we imagine alien life in science and in fiction, and what we can learn from comparing the two.)

4 days ago I asked about posting a hand reveal when I passed 400 folowers. A little late, and now over 700 of you are following me! Thank you one and all!

[monstersandmaw]

Just a little thank you post to the folks following this blog and engaging with my stories (and the other stuff I make).

There are rather a lot of you now, and I’m sure some of that count are probably bots, but thank you for being cool and chill and fun, and for making a lil writer like me feel safe and supported in my creativity.

You make me want to keep creating, and I just think that’s super neat.

.💜👻💜.

As Valentine's Day recedes from us for yet another year, I'd like to take some time to show appreciation for everyone here who takes the time to read some of the inane things I write on here, and maybe even likes, reblogs or comments some of that stuff.

Appreciate every single one of you. Thank you for being here <3

Preview Events!

Alright, gang, two things are going to happen fairly soon: I'll hit 1,000 followers AND celebrate 1 year on Tumblr 🎉

In honor of these milestones, I've decided on two things: Sharing and Caring, of course!!!

For March, we'll have 'Something Old' to finish out my noob phase here. I'll have more details when the time comes, but it's basically a reading/reblogging fest of things you all have previously written and posted that didn't get the response you'd hoped for. It's time to bring it back out into the light, dearies!

Send me your niche faves or comfort fics (either written by you or others), and I will comment and reblog as many as I can! (Specifics to come but keep in mind restrictions of length, what my audience reads, etc.

For April, it's time for 'Something New' to start (my) next year off right! These will again be things you write and want loved on 💚💜, but officially, I have not decided on a prompt or list, so stayed tuned.

You can start sending me links now by ask or DM!

Happy reading and writing, everyone!

Special shoutout to the ninja-magnificent @darsynia for these stunning graphics. You'll be seeing them again soon... 😉

Thanks for 1700 guys

2023 WOTY + 1 Year Blog Anniversary

Photo by rüveyda Happy New Year, everyone! 🙂 I’m a little late in writing this blog post, as it’s about halfway through January, but I thought that I’d still share my new WOTY (word of the year) with you. But before that… Thank you for being a reader of mine, and continuing to be subscribed to my blog! ❤ On the 1st of January, 2022, I started my blog here on WordPress. I had no idea what I…

In a new moment of mother daughter bonding my mom and I just broke into the empty apartment next door. In our defense the door was unlocked and all the lights were on and we know for a fact they don’t live there anymore but. I picked the lock to the master bedroom and
