Finally playing Ghost of Tsushima (and writing fic about the sad wet cat samurai, obviously) and am just consistently blown away by how damn PRETTY this game is.

if you as an American Jew do not want to be used as the excuse for Trump's destruction of civil liberties and basic democratic protections, the time to speak out is right now

“Write the fanfic you want to see in the world” is great and all until you you have to face the cold reality that Google Docs is your most used app every week

I have learned my blorbos can take revenge on me for the shit I put them through by saying the exact things that I, the author, needed to hear from a friend or loved one at some point in my life and I won’t notice until I’m already a wreck.

It’s my birthday today! If you could repost my artwork, it would be the perfect birthday present!

friendly reminder

I don't like "Your first draft will be shitty" as advice, because it's a really negative framing.

I prefer, "You have the freedom to be messy creating your first draft."

Anyone crafter knows what their room looks like mid-creation. Writers should be as free to be as exhuberent and messy.
