if you're waking up like me thinking "where do we even go from here?"

you:

build community & involve yourself locally

learn self sustainability skills

choose kindness

protect others & yourself

join or build a mutual aid group and/or network

find time for small joys (the arts, cooking a meal you love, spending time with loved ones, etc.)

my other grounding technique is remembering that the earliest abolitionists & the earliest suffragists had no proof that the world would ever make possible what they fought for and indeed many of them did not live to see it come to pass. and yet they did not succumb to despair so it would be disrespectful to their memory to let it overtake me

few things more humbling than the realization that you really do write the same fic(s) over and over again

Our fandom forbearers did NOT suffer through Anne Rice, strikethrough, and other bullshit for fucking ACOTAR and Harry Potter fans to fucking ruin it for all of us by selling fanfiction. I am not losing novel length yaoi epics because some of you don't know how to act in fannish spaces and yes I do blame the booktokification of fanfic but I also blame those of you that treat fandom like content to consume and not a community to engage with.

Nothing ever ends poetically. It ends and we turn it into poetry. All that blood was never once beautiful. It was just red.

The stars are all looking at you, at you alone; all the stars do is look at people in love - that's what makes them so charming. You are in love, aren't you? What silent delights I would drink in from the night air, beneath these stars, beneath these diamonds, if I knew I were loved!

Annnd I'm drafting a Whouffaldi fanfic for the first time in seven years. Sometimes your fandoms never go away. 💜

Saw someone wearing a shirt that said "Heaven sent, hell bent," and even though it didn't have any Doctor Who designs, all my Whouffaldi feels came rushing back.
