    rosario is no easily distracted woman.   recipe books are piled;  they are not splayed.  honed attention dissects the library book one at a time---  though, of each, there are many .    i know you urge to chide how sharing is caring.  so before you do,  consider how haunted the cooking isles are.  rose is,  perhaps,  the lone woman in phoenix to refuse google for kitchen aid.  ---  no,  she doesn’t want to hear about rebecca’s rustic shepard’s pie that keeps the kids happy!  featuring the half hour of scrolling past vain anecdotes before that subpar formula.      maybe she’s a pessimist...   at best, a dedicated one.    the one she flips through now?   obscenely littered with pictures.  is she a child?  with a huff,  rosario’s grabbed it from the spine,  the groan of her chair's dismissal demands eyes.   gliding towards the aisle from which it came for the sheer insult of it.       what was that about distractions?  the woman she can no longer call her best friend presents like a ghost,  unassumed and unseen by the rest. a moment of hestiation before rose is trespassing on shaky ground.  surging down the aisle.  moth to a flame.  what do you say in the face of betrayal?      for rose,   it’s:          “ ...ora? “      she can tell you anything about all the other things she does.   but don’t ask her about this.  she who examples instant regret brilliantly.

   when she runs,  she doesn’t run at night---   &.  this doesn’t surprise you!  she detours through a cemetery though...   that might.   and if i told you it’s where her daughter is buried?   the reader has left the chat,  probably.   although,  it isn’t like anybody knows.   her grave reads  𝐆𝐀𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐖𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓,  after all,  and sid throws none more than a kiss to the air when she passes it.  yeah,  she’s got the time to stop and chat.   no.   she won’t.    not to a headstone,  at least.  but nora reed isn’t that.   she exists at peace here,  seemingly so with stretched legs,  paper-back in hand.  all of this and surrounded by graves;  is she a little too content?   who’s to say?   certainly not sid in her tank and yoga pants  ( which make her ass look incredible, in case you were wondering ),   hair stuck to sweaty forehead  ( not so incredible,  but we don’t talk about it ).          “  good book?  “  questions from behind,  followed by sid’s boisterous laughter when nora is,   on impact,  startled.

    at first,    rose laughs at the idiot in the rain.    the one who appears, first, like a speck of something.   it’s a something that won’t be moved by the demand of her windshield wipers.  oh,  and it’s yellow.  a persistent yellow,  who begs to be mocked.   so yes,  she’s laughing.   and then she’s stopping.  and then she’s slowing.  now rose is the fool,  rolling down her window and hollering as if she can possibly be heard under a roaring weather,               “   NORA !   YOU TOTAL LOON,  GET IN ! “

its funny to me that The Sims is listed as a “casual game” because I have never known a single person who has had a casual relationship with The Sims

Related to your wiki, this has some information compiled: abortion.cafe

It was put together by @norareed on Twitter

Yep! That's a good resource, it's on the list for me to go through and check out each source.

Which is a really handy time for me to say this to anybody out there looking for tools:

If a purported abortion resource tells you that garlic douches or rubbing raw, cut-open-garlic on sores will treat genital warts you should not trust literally anything else that resource says.

This is NOT a criticism of the information on abortion.cafe, this is something entirely else on a different list of resources that I'm vetting.

There’s so much wisdom in this thread and all its subthreads…

Some parts from the threads that had an impact on me & made me think:

but watching the right shows and retweeting the right tweets doesnt by itself do anything, and neither does being sufficiently worried. emotions are morally neutral.

telling people they have a moral obligation to be aware or to be worried is counter productive — unless keeping people as passive consumers is your real goal.

people always do this thing where they’re like “YOU DONT GET TO LOG OFF. YOU DONT GET TO LOOK AWAY FROM THIS” like you can purge the sin of privilege by wearing the hairshirt of witness even if that puts you in a position where you’re too tired to do anything real (from @NoraReed)

some word lists for bot-making

After a couple years of making bots, I’ve made a fair few wordlists that I thought other people might be able to make use of, so I decided to release them. These are provided under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License; if you want to use them commercially, please contact me and we can work something out.

I’m just providing these as lists in txt files; I use delim.co to turn them into Tracery code.

body parts

goo

buildings that are full of secrets

unsettling gerunds

unsettling adjectives

cooking tools

ingredients

cooking styles

dishes (compiled from multiple cookbooks, mainly the Joy of Cooking, as well as suggestions from Twitter followers)

[jhameia]

So you have Twitter? Can you please recommend some good public accounts where there’s opinions, writings on any subject are posted? I’m want to follow some accounts like that to learn new things and also to develop understanding and knowledge in various fields

@SarahTaber_bww for threads about agricultural industry in America

@DelilahDawson for publishing advice

@katjexia and @jeanneatte_ng for the occasional thread on Chinese-isms

@fangirljeanne and @ebonyteach for pop culture commentary, especially fandom stuff

@DisVisibility for disability activism

I don’t know what @NoraReed’s deal is but lots of stuff there

idk those just off the top of my head

@norareed​ asked, 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐍𝐘:  what would a   ‘  happy life  ’   look like in your muse’s eyes ?

  sydney quin was meant to be a mother.  she was... supposed to be one,  permanently,  not for three years til the universe said BITCH, YOU THOUGHT!  mothering anybody else is AN ACT OF BETRAYAL.  sid does not intend to betray her daughter,  ivy.  and still.  nature can’t totally be shaken.  not for sid,  not with this.  so she sprinkles maternal love over friends,  and their hands she’ll hold without verbal prompt,  the dependency she has in answering a call no matter the hour.   all of this love has to go somewhere,  after all.    what i’m saying is sid doesn’t have to be a mother to unleash this instinct.  a happy life means friends to cry with,  bitch with,  dance with.  hands to hold,  food to burn and replace with the nearest takeout option.  ( it’s dairy queen,  if you were wondering.  )        out of this vein,  in a whole other body,  is the survival of her business.  she’s privileged enough where the financial aspect of it wouldn’t be a concern,  should it fail.  but it’s her project.  seeds of her own happiness are planted.  sprouted is the beauty and joy of others.   sid is not quick to let go of this dynamic,  even if the month of november watches her stretched too thin,  a woman scattered.        both are currently possessed by sid.      what’s missing...  a husband and a daughter.  the perfect life,  for sid,  has a mould. this mould is unattainable,   and sid has learned to be okay with that.  no,  she doesn’t have a perfect life,  but she has a happy one;  it doesn’t have to be imagined when it’s felt.    (  side note:   don’t tell sid,  but she’d loathe this ‘perfect life’.  to be tied down,  not working again, bound to the home?  it GETS OLD. she doesn’t know it,  but like the jeans that once fit,  this mould shaped by a 20 year old just doesn’t work for sid anymore.  and yet it’s what she knows & what she thinks she wants. )

a big list of bot-making resources

I’ve been talking about how easy it is to get started making bots for a while now, but I haven’t done a long-form writeup of all of the tools that I use that you might find useful. So here we go: a list of resources that I use for making Twitter bots.

Tracery Basics

Cheap Bots Done Quick This is the software that most of my Twitter bots run on. It handles the regularly scheduled posting as well as the replies

Tracery The language my bots are written in

Tracery Visual Editor

Another Tracery Editor

Tracery Interactive Tutorial

Non-Tracery Tools

Auto-fave/Retweet bots I use these for the honeybots

Zach Whalen’s SSBot

Word Lists

SCOWL Wordlist creator

Ashley Bovan’s Word Lists Includes words by syllable count, hyphenated words, words by parts of speech, and other lists

The Great Noun List

Corpora Lists of interesting words

List inspiration

The Noun Project I never use any of the Noun Project stuff directly, but they have a lot of lists of icons of various objects put in useful categories, which can be good for when you need to think about, say, common appliances, but it��s hard to name them all off the top of your head

Spellzone word lists These are for learning English, but can also be useful for when you need a bunch of words for certain things, like buildings, appliances, household objects, etc; I usually just keep a notepad tab open and write down a handful that will work for what I’m doing

Wordnik I often will pick a fun sounding word, look at what lists people put it on, and then look at those lists for more word inspiration

Text/List Editing Tools

Whitespace remover

Comma Delimiter Turns lists of words into code; use commas as separator and double quotes for Tracery

Find and replace In case the one in wordpad/notepad isn’t quite enough

Case Converter

Dolch Sight Words This is actually a word list for teaching kids to read fluently, but it can work well for basic bot vocabulary

Images/Graphics

Public Domain Photos

Vintage Printables This one’s particularly good for technical illustrations

Wikimedia Commons

Glitch’s game assets, PNG conversions

Miscellaneous Guides

Instant disposable Gmail addresses for signing up for Twitter

Hook, bait and camouflage: making a honeybot
