Tim, powerpoint clicker in hand: Hey everyone. Today Damian pushed me, so I’m starting a kickstarter to put him down.
Everyone: …
Tim: The benefits of killing him would mean I’d get pushed way less 🤷♂️
If you notice me reblogging
a repost
stolen art
false information

here's a random word generator--whatever word it gives you is now the thing you are the deity of
im curious. put in the tags if you have siblings, how many and if you’re an only child, oldest, middle, or youngest. i feel like this tells a ton about you
“Our community was hit first. Asian restaurants were empty long before other restaurants. Even on the subway I could sense that racism was on the rise. On television one night there was a story about an elderly man who was collecting aluminum cans, just to survive. He was robbed and taunted. His bags were broken. His cans were strewn all over the street. And he didn’t speak English, so he couldn’t even ask for help. It broke me. Because in his face I could see the faces of all our grandparents. In our culture there is a tradition of: ‘Never speak out. Never ask for help.’ If our elders were suffering, would they even let us know? I decided to call a service organization focusing on Asian elderly, and I asked: ‘How many meals do you need?’ They replied: ‘As many as you can cook.’ We started preparing 200 meals per week in our little 300 square foot apartment. Moonlynn cooks beautifully and efficiently, so she lovingly banned me from the kitchen. But I still wanted to help in some way. So I found a black sharpie, and began to write on the plastic containers. Traditionally our elders are very reserved with their affection. I can still make my father blush just by kissing him on the cheek. But since I grew up in America, I have the privilege of being more direct. I found the traditional Chinese characters for ‘We are thinking of you’ and ‘We love you,’ and I wrote them on every container. I thought it was important to use the word ‘we.’ I never signed our own names. Because I wanted it to feel like a whole bunch of people, an entire community who cared. And before long that’s exactly what it was. We found ten restaurant partners within a half mile who helped us prepare culturally relevant foods. And over the past eighteen months Heart of Dinner has delivered 80,000 meals to our Asian elders. We weren’t able to personally write notes on each one. So we put out a call on Instagram, and 100,000 hand-written notes poured in from all over the world. We told people to go wild. Add as much character as you’d like. There were so many styles, and so many colors. But every note had two things, written in big, bold letters: ‘We are thinking of you.’ And ‘We love you.’”
every WEEK another reason to scream about afghanistan
Biden wants to steal the central bank's assets and give half of it to the 9/11 families??? what the FUCK????? 3.5 BILLION DOLLARS STOLEN FROM AFGHANISTAN FOR THE FAMILIES? what year is it I'm having a stroke
Hey, if you have no choice but to infodump, always use characters, never the narrator to tell things to the reader.
This way, if you got something wrong and someone points it out later, you can argue that this character in particular was lying/misremembering/was ignorant of the exact details. You, the author, obviously knew what the real facts were all along.
wrong blog, nice to meet you, im a fool
i was wondering if u could draw ur favorite bird? (like animal bird not hero bird) my favorite bird is a tie between chickadees and waxwings! (im a bird enthusiast, and i absolutely adore ur art style) :)
Thank you! I wanna answer but I don’t know what it looks like? I hear it a lot but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it? The only thing I know is it makes a very distinct sound, kind of like: “agugh agugh agugh.” Maybe you could help me identify it?
it makes sense but i still feel attacked
took a quiz thing and it gave me my d&d stats. the question is now, is this good or bad
In light of this sad post, I just want to FYI anyone that might be anxious about it:
I will never delete any of my fics for any reason.
1 - I take the Archive part of AO3 very seriously. I’ll edit and update, but not delete because in my mind it’s been archived once it’s posted.
2 - I’ve seen too many fics/authors I loved disappear, never to be seen again. If I posted it, then someone who loved it might have found it and someday get the intense urge to read again like I do for those fics, and I want them to be able to find it.
3 - What better way to get back at someone heckling you than to just stone-cold ignore their mean-spirited demands? To leave a fic up that infuriates the person bothering me so much for existing on AO3 at all? Even if it was really bad, I would just walk away. Make it written by Anonymous. Abandon it on the site. Comments can be turned off. Notifications can be turned off. An entirely new account can be made to start over with.
The fic can be orphaned.
For any author who is being bothered into deleting their fics/account, please at least consider orphaning your work instead of deleting it wholesale. Orphaning is a wonderful, innovative feature of AO3 put there specifically to thread the needle for people in exactly your situation. To bridge the gap of those who no longer want to be associated with a fic, and those who loved what you wrote and want to be able to revisit it.
An Untamed fic I really loved got the author a lot of harassment and they contemplated deleting it while they were still posting chapters because of the awful comments a handful of people were leaving with each update, but instead orphaned it after finishing. I have reread that fic at least five times since then. I don’t remember the author’s name anymore, just as they certainly wanted, but I still enjoy that fic and I know I’ll come back to it again and I’m so grateful that I can.
No amount of hate erases how much someone else genuinely loved what you wrote.
And there is ALWAYS someone to love it. Even if it’s just one person. Even when things are hard and the horrible people are very loud, try not to forget that they are there too.
Don’t make the hateful one the most important one.
Pip, they/them, nonbinary, panromantic, greysexual. This is sort of a junk blog, but its also my main one. I really use @woodwind-goddess so you should head over there
