if it's good enough for you, then it deserves to be made. don't let anyone else decide if your story is worth it or not.

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

I see your “whumpee is embarrassed of their clingyness” and raise you “whumpee feels guilty about their clingyness.”

Maybe caretaker hasn’t slept in days taking care of a sick whumpee. Caretaker finally falls asleep and whumpee gets worse, but tries desperately to keep quiet so they don’t disturb caretaker, as much as they want the comfort because they’ve kept them up for days already and they don’t deserve it

Or maybe whumpee overhears caretaker turning down an invitation to stay and look after whumpee, and whumpee lashes out in an attempt to get them to go because caretaker deserves to have fun

Meanwhile caretaker is so confused where this all came from because whumpee is sick/hurt??? Of course there’s no where else they’d want to be??

HEAVY on that last line!!! caretaker would never ever want to leave whumpee's side and they don't know why whumpee can't grasp that!

Dude it is SO FUN and EXCITING to see a reoccurring reader. If you've commented a handful of times on an author's work, I guarantee that they recognize you. You can't imagine how many times I've excitedly informed my friends "the person with the funny cat image commented!" "- anon is back!!!!" and the friends've recognized who I was talking about because I talk about my commenters so often LOL. We love you all!!!

fun thing about herding and/or generally neurotic breeds: they are really good at following rules you have instituted, but they will also make their own Dog Rules they will follow stringently whether or not you like it

So I actually work with people experiencing homelessness.

Yes some of them do drugs. Yes some of them became homeless because of addiction. But many of them became addicted in order to deal with the pains of being homeless.

Some of them haven’t touched drugs at all. Some are homeless because they let a friend stay with them in an act of kindness, then had to leave because their guest created an unsafe environment.

Some because of an injury preventing them from working. Do you know how much money you get from the government for things like that? Not enough to live on.

Some of them because they were being abused and all the DV shelters were full.

I met someone the other day, sober for 30 years, only became homeless because he filed the wrong benefits form when he got laid off.

It can happen to anybody, and we as a society need to stop assuming we’re better than them, because all it takes is one accident, one wrong financial situation, one shitty partner, to end up there ourselves.

Also, being addicted to drugs isn’t an excuse to treat people like dirt. One mistake doesn’t make you “deserve homelessness��. And if you think it’s “their choices, their problem” I urge you to try and learn some empathy, it’s a skill that will take you far in life

"But most homeless people are homeless because of their own choices. Just look at how many are drug addicts."

Fuck off. Seriously, fuck all the way off and then some.

We live in a society that causes people so much trauma that it's close to impossible to cope without using drugs, then treats them like moral failures if they use drugs.

Homelessness is traumatizing. If using drugs helps them cope with the needless trauma inflicted on them, then they deserve to be able to use drugs with zero judgment.

Instead, direct your judgment at rich people who get richer by underpaying their employees. Direct your judgment at landlords who own multiple homes for profit while contributing to the increased cost of living. The people enforcing and benefiting from the system are the moral failures. The victims of the system are not the moral failures.

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

if you're subscribed to Microsoft word, you probably received an email recently saying they're upping their prices. Like, a lot. ($9.99/month instead of $6.99)

guess what though? you can log into your account, click Cancel Subscription, and get the option to continue your subscription at the same price WITHOUT their bullshit AI.

That's right, the new, higher price is actually a different subscription that includes AI that everyone is being opted into by force! What a cool and fun product that clearly everyone wants.

you can also choose to buy Word 2024 without AI for a single lump sum that will be yours in perpetuity, with no updates, for one computer.

Check your subscription if you need Word for work! Don't get duped into paying for something you might not even want

via NYPost: Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing to launch a “big f–king operation” across sanctuary cities — including Chicago and New York — immediately after President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, multiple sources told The Post.

Starting Jan. 21, multi-day “ground operations” will be launched across cities that have served as safe havens for migrants because the local authorities do not cooperate with the federal government when it comes to immigration issues, sources said.

reminders for today:

if you or someone you know might need it in the next few years, purchase plan b. the shelf life of plan b is 4 years, and we might not be able to access it as easily as we can now in the days ahead.

if you are larger/plus size: go online and purchase ella instead of plan b. plan b is less effective if you aren’t under 160 pounds.

if you can, purchase books that project 2025 is looking to ban.

mass deportations are starting. if you see ice vehicles or agents, yell ice raid and la migra as loud as you can.

if someone asks who you voted for, keep your mouth shut. they’re fishing for traitors.

if anyone, anyone at all asks about your neighbors or their legal status in the us, you know nothing. don’t be the reason that their family is separated.

if anyone asks about your religion or lack thereof, keep it vague. this administration will look for any excuse to persecute you.

your friends are trans or queer? for the next four years they’re not. don’t expose anyone’s status as a trans or queer person to anyone else, even if you think you can trust them.

did someone you know get an abortion? no, they didn’t. they were never pregnant.

in short, don’t be a snitch, and keep to yourself these next four years. we’ll make it through this even if it seems hopeless at times.

we can survive this. we’ve survived before, and we’ll survive again.

Your honor I think you'll find that my message "I am going to kill you with a hammer tomorrow morning as you leave for work I know your routine and I will catch you" did not have "/srs" attached to it
