As it turns out, writing a story set in 2010 is really very difficult, because Brain says "Oh, if they can't get to the store they'll just order instacart" and then Other Brain says "There was no instacart in 2010 you dimwit"

My friends are literally the coolest people in the universe, and I wish I could go back and tell my nine year old self that when I'm 36, I'll have this whole community that loves me and my kid just the way we are. And nobody's afraid to say 'fuck' when it's warranted!

Renee Nicole Good was 37.

She was me.

We were the same age. The same race. US citizens. Legal observers. And they shot her in the face as she tried to get out of their way.

White people, do not be fooled into thinking they won't come for you too. Stand up now, before it's too late.

I wrote 3,000 words tonight to go with the 7,000 from the other night. I'm 24 hours into the timeline of the story, lol. This is not strictly smuff like I used to write, I'm trying my hand at tackling some heavier stuff.

I'm a daycare provider, I work out of my home (and no, I didn't commit fraud, get a hobby) - so if there's a general strike/walk out... do I just like, walk out of my house? I mean I can't just leave the kids there so do we all have to walk out? Just like go stand outside for the neighbors to see?

I... started writing a story that's been bouncing around in my head for somewhere between three months and twenty years, and once I started it all just sort of poured out and it's 7,000 words long already. Oh, and in story time, it's been... less than 24 hours. Going to bed so I can write tomorrow!

Me: I need a villain name.
*Searches for villain name generator*
Me: Hmmm. Brett. Like Kavanaugh? That could work.

All GlobalX planes are on the ground and for a moment it almost looks like peace... wish it would last.

I learned how to say "f*** your mother" in Spanish this week and I can't stop thinking about it. When am I going to have an occasion to use that??

There is a GlobalX plane inbound from Miami to Cincinnati. Columbus ICE detainees are being held in Butler County. It appears some are set to be deported as early as tomorrow. It terrifies me that they move this fast.

Anyone know how to resurrect a fandom? Because the stuff coming out of Hollywood now is seriously inferior to my pre-2019 comfort shows. I want to be on a site where everyone watches Bones and Castle and JAG. The good old days. SVU was better then too. We all just need to binge rewatch together.

When you have PTSD and you also love someone who also has PTSD, you gotta really know them, because your maladaptive coping mechanisms and their maladaptive coping mechanisms will definitely conflict at some point. Give each other grace.

I might just be exhausted. Was fighting with bonus kid #1 for like a month and that just sucks. We're fine, she's fine, we just both approach our problems like someone with PTSD. And she married a republican.

Started reading a story before the football game. Got distracted. Watched SNL. Remembered the story at 1 am. I'm on chapter 10 out of 51. I usually only do this when I'm trying to avoid thinking about something, but I can't figure out what that thing might be.

Reading fanfic that was written almost 20 years ago is like opening a time capsule. "I assume everyone knows about..." and then it'll be something that happened in season 3.

I also find myself wishing it were 20 years ago. This is my least favorite apocalypse ever.

Looking back at all the shit I absolutely lost my mind over in college when it was just spoilers, now, as part of a completed story, I feel silly. I really had a panic attack over a fictional character's family planning, then turned around and became a single mom by choice 😅

Warning: my old T-name was 'random thoughts'. This account will also be a repository for my random, usually late night thoughts. It's basically stream of consciousness.

Hopefully no one I know IRL will catch on so I can just shout into the abyss.

Who's a fangirl to follow around here? I need to get the politics out of my feed, it's my whole real life anymore and I'm trying to function via escapism here.
