Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Hey, Throwaway, why are you working on writing multiple short stories tonight when your partners on a group project most need them rather than weeks ago?

Simple: self-sabotage.

You know, maybe I should treat myself and get that new racing game? It's only $80.

*spends $80 on windshield wipers*

Uh huh. I see.

Helium, floating, and floating away. Ever since you ended the blueberry one with your sona going blue and saying "unless you're really into it," I just kept imagining one on floating ending with your sona inflating, getting a high pitched voice, and floating out of frame saying the same.

I’ve started reading and watching stuff that’s not web pages, news, or YouTube videos for the first time in way too long. I feel considerably less stressed right now. Nice to deep dive into someone else’s reality for a while.

I think your problem is attempting fucking sleep in the first place. I’ve never tried, but I suspect sleeping and sexing simultaneously may be impossible. Have you tried splitting the two, having sex then sleeping?

Sounds like society never had a little brother or sister looking over their shoulder during computer time. Yes, I was only playing games, but it was still uncomfortable!

Me: why do the four-legged semi-autonomous tanks have child-like voices and curiosity?

Also Me: all art is an excuse to see what you want to see. Someone just wanted it that way.

Me: well, I want to see more Bato awkwardly smiling before pulling people through windows.

I am not immune to propaganda. Hellboy, Indiana Jones, Sound of Music, Looney Toons, Star Wars, Kamen Rider, Hellsing, the Rocketeer, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Metal Slug 3, Spider-Man, and X-Men all taught me that the nazis were the bad guys, meant for ridicule.

So I was watching a walk through on YouTube, trying to figure out how to get a piece of loot in Destiny 2, when I heard a Discord alert. Took me a while to realize it wasn't me, but rather the player I was watching. We need customizable alert sounds.

Popeyes has better food and its location distribution is nigh-identical to chick fil a, you definitely have an alternative to the homophobic chicken

Oh since we're talking about boycotts, way too many of y'all still eat at Chik fil A and shop at Hobby Lobby, two companies whose profits are literally dedicated to killing trans people

I did some volunteer work recently and the group bought us Chic-Fil-A sandwiches. I ate it so it wouldn't go to waste, but I don't see the appeal. Limp and zero crunch. Personally, I much prefer Zaxby's.

You can have non-homophobic AND much better chicken sandwiches!

There's just something about the last song of an album that ties it all together and takes it home. This one is the last song of Syndicate and whatever the rest of the album is like this is just the perfect song to end with!

Y'all should really check out The Midnight's new album. I've been mainlining everything that's been released so far, and I contribute that to just being a writing machine with Molly's stories lately.

Fun fact Google suppresses auto results for "generative AI addiction". At first I thought the word addiction wasn't ad friendly but no, AI addiction is the only one they hide

Good morning. Have a tune that I've been listening to on repeat for the past couple days.

"Bluesky is so boring I'd rather stick with X/Twitter!"

Dunno about you, but it's been nice not having hundreds of transphobic and fear mongering posts shoved in my face every moment I glance at my phone like whenever I try to look at art friends post on Twitter

Now is not the fucking time for kink puritanism. The fetish content you enjoy, no matter how tame, sexual or not, is currently under threat from the right. Get your head out of your ass, we have bigger problems than people wearing diapers or whatever.

Hmm. I want to inflate an elf character in stories and/or commissions, but what can I do with an elf that I can't do with a human?

Apropos of nothing: my goal in life is that when I eventually kick the bucket, nobody’s first reaction is “good riddance.”

Unless, of course, they were a jerk who was annoyed by my presence, actions, morals, and/or politics. In which case, I guess it can’t be helped.
