when I see something dated 2019 I think “oh that’s not too long ago” and then I remember that 2019 was not only five years ago but those five years have somehow contained several lifetimes

people are saying do it scared, but you also gotta do it alone. you'll miss out on so much you want to do if you wait til someone will do it with you. do it scared and do it alone.

There’s something very nice about remembering fics you read years ago. Maybe you remember the plot perfectly, maybe the rest of the fic is only a blur aside from a handful of vivid scenes, but you remember the way it made you feel. And sometimes you dredge up the memory - the premise or a favourite scene or a few lines that stayed with you -  and your heart aches a little bit, the way it does when you think about books you enjoyed as a child.

To all the fanfiction writers out there: your work is beautiful and meaningful and it leaves an impact. I promise.

I had an interview scheduled for today at 11AM. I went in at 10:45, and the front desk clerk told me that the position had been filled before I even applied. I asked why the manager would schedule me for an interview if the job was never available, and she told me that the manager didn't; the "person" I had been talking to for the past 2 days was an AI program, not a human. The system automatically schedules interviews for everyone who applies, no matter how old the job listing is.

WHAT KINDA BULLSHIT FUCKERY IS THAT?!?

The thing people don’t realize about writing is that time spent just staring out the window is CRITICAL
