You can and should write fanfiction that isn't perfect. You can and should write whatever fanfiction you want. You can and should write fanfiction that brings you joy even if it's silly or goofy or weird.
Except for me. My fanfic has to be perfect and read like a novel and ruin at least one person's sleep schedule.
#me like yeah and then getting to the last sentences#I get it I really do but maybe try to do some writing you don't publish#like a functional sketchbook for your writing#as I say this I remembered artists online are even doing beautiful no mistakes sketchbook nonsense now to share on social media#which is why I had to add functional before sketchbook#sketchbook now had a skewed meaning#I'd suggest 750words but I think its still a paid service now unless you have a legacy account from before they charged for it#anyway I do think writing just for yourself can help a lot#with figuring out what you want to write and enjoying it with less worrying about if its good enough

decentralize and clean up your life!!!
use overdrive, libby, hoopla, cloudlibrary, and kanopy instead of amazon and audible.
use firefox instead of chrome or opera (both are made with chromium, which blocks functionality for ad-blockers. firefox isn't based on chromium).
use mega or proton drive instead of google drive.
get rid of bloatware
use libreoffice instead of microsoft office suite
use vetted sites on r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH for free movies, books, games, etc.
use trakt or letterboxd instead of imdb.
use storygraph instead of goodreads.
use darkpatterns to find mobile game with no ads or microtransactions
use ground news to read unbiased news and find blind spots in news stories.
use mediahuman or cobalt to download music, or support your favorite artists directly through bandcamp
make youtube bearable by using mtube, newpipe, or the unhook extension on chrome, firefox, or microsoft edge
use search for a cause or ecosia to support the environment instead of google
use thriftbooks to buy new or used books (they also have manga, textbooks, home goods, CDs, DVDs, and blurays)
use flashpoint to play archived online flash games
find books, movies, games, etc. on the internet archive! for starters, here's a bunch of David Attenborough documentaries and all of the Animorphs books
burn your music onto cds
use pdf24 (available online or as a desktop app) instead of adobe
use unroll.me to clean your email inboxes
use thunderbird, mailfence, countermail, edison mail, tuta, or proton mail instead of gmail
remove bloatware on windows PC, macOS, and iOS X
remove bloatware on samsung X
use pixelfed instead of instagram or meta
use NCH suite for free software like a file converter, image editor, video editors, pdf editor, etc.

#I think a lot of these suggestions are alright#I've seen criticism of ground news having that left right dichotomy that the US tends to try and sort everything in though#And that it will often categorized neoliberalist stuff as left#So just be aware even your bias sorter has bias if you use it#I'm not saying it's entirely useless but#tbh if someone already isn't aware of news bias it could instill a false sense of confidence if you take it all at face value#Anyway like anythinh you are suggested online you should evaluate all the suggestions here yourself not just trust blindly

Any conspiracy theory about people going missing in National Parks is automatically silly to me. Like "Why are National Parks such a hotbed of disappearances???" because they're full of idiots. You've got thousands of people who've never pissed outdoors in their life wandering around the woods/desert/mountain with zero experience and zero gear and zero understanding that this place can kill them. You don't see as many disappearances in wild areas because people don't go to them unless they have some background knowledge. Whereas you get tour buses full of old folks and suburban families shuttling people into National Parks 365 days a year. If you took the same amount of buffoons and dropped them in the actual wilderness the disappearances would be significantly higher than at the parks. Use your brain.
#Missing 411 content is I think only interesting to people with no knowledge of this type of stuff#Also btw the most consistent thing I hear true crime conspiracy podcasts or youtuvbers bang on about is when its a dissapearance of “AN EXP#that means very little in most cases where the explanation is a fall or an avalanche

hi knitting tumblr. um i don't knit but my aunt recently passed and left behind a bunch of extremely high quality yarn. i know very little about yarn and even less about knitting, so i'd like to sell it, and i'm planning on trying ravelry and local facebook groups, but i wanted to see if there's anybody local who is interested.
i live in southern ontario, but the yarn is currently in central ontario. if there's enough interest i could do a yard sale instead of transporting the yarn home? let me know and we'll see
i'm attaching some pics to give an idea of what i've got. this is only a fraction of it. please let me know if you have any interest or know anyone who would be willing to purchase some! i'd also appreciate any more advice on sites, communities, etc. where i could offload some of it.

We all love the “becoming the very thing you sought to destroy,” trope. but I have a growing fondness for “destroying the very thing you sought to become”

#I am in awe at the audacity of the screenshotted OPs propaganda attempt#“Why use your own rights that you have in the country you hold a green card in?” Are they serious?

Liberals are already telling everyone all the things they can't have in the future, which I'm sure will generate winning levels of enthusiasm
#This defeatist 'my party can do no wrong even when they refuse to do right' attitude needs to stop#Or nothing good will ever happen as people are too busy insisting its better than what the other side will do#All well the “good side” continues with a supposed status quo set up BY the “bad side” that gets worse each cycle#You can't get change for the better if you'll settle for anything wrapped in the right color bow

If you're in the US military or National Guard, and are given an illegal or unconstitutional order, the GI Rights hotline (1-877-447-4487) is there to help give you the support you need to do the right thing by refusing it. It would be good to think about this now before it becomes a live issue for you and it would be smart of you to memorize that number.

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence

The replies of that post have at least been a good place to find and block zionists btw, helpful tip!
The people who replied to me seem to all think you can't be educated on the topic of zionism and still be against zionism... they think everyone but them is stupid because they swallowed their own propaganda.
#is it antisemitic to criticize israel?#is protesting a synagogue hosting a sale of homes built in illegal westbank settlements antisemitic?#please define what you mean by violence and if you actually mean discomfort#discomfort with the knowledge you actually know people are protesting state violence and not religion

I'd take your post more seriously if you did anything to police the replies from this and other zionists OP. It seems less like a call for unity and more like a call for us all to shut the fuck up about genocide because any criticism of Israel is a "call to violence".
Not to be nuanced on tumblr but I think it’s possible to believe that there are severe human rights abuses happening in Palestine right now and also believe that it’s wrong to try and rectify this by instilling fear in Jewish communities via violence.
#i was giving this post benefit of the doubt#then i saw the replies#this and the person saying zionists are good actually
