Tai is wrapped around Younger Tai, both showing a wall of protection and a cage to keep herself in check.
Younger Van seems more concerned about her future older self than vice-versa, showing how far Van has strayed from the path.
Lottie cradles her younger self in her lap like a child, showing that she’s found compassion for her past.
Shauna looks irritated to be holding herself, like her own sorrow is a burden.
Natalie looks to a future that is gone.
And Misty doesn’t even acknowledge her own presence.

I don't particularly like the term "sex pest", I feel like it kind of undersells the severity of knowingly or habitually violating people's sexual boundaries. Like "pest" invokes, you know, "pestering", annoyance, right. But the problem is not that such a person is annoying. And, cynically, I think the reason that this term has gotten so popular is precisely because it allows people to conflate something very serious, like habitual violation of sexual boundaries, with something not-serious, like being annoying. This allows you both to defend friends from serious accusations and sully your enemies with non-serious accusations with much greater efficacy. Better to be straightforward about what someone has done, so that there is not need for euphemism, implication, and inference. Lay the thing plain so that it can be seen for what it is.

This devastating flash flood caused the death of 72 people so far. And the fact that we are intimidating and imprisoning climate justice activists who are pleading with world governments to DO FUCKING something about impending ecological disasters... it's beyond dystopic.

found 3 fleas on tortellini and 1 on astro today. ☹️ 0 on solea though but she’s big.
i’ve been neglecting doing flea meds so apparently it’s time to get back on it.

not to derail the low income writer thing, but I’ve actually had this discussion before, many times, in smaller writing circles, with how so much of the current writing and publishing “climate” does not adhere nor even acknowledge how difficult writing (or any creative outlet tbh) can be for people to pursue - even as a hobby - when your energies are sapped into simply surviving, into struggling through life, working full-time, perhaps even balancing multiple jobs, or care-giving children, elderly or sick family, with little to show for it beyond the absolute minimum. how the current economic living crisis has been inevitably crushing creatives, and potential creatives, when there are so many limitations, not just financially, but in time and in energy
advice akin to “those who want to write will find the time” is insulting to those who are already running ragged just trying to get by, whether due to jobs, brain fog, illness or a combination of all the above and more. “get up earlier or stay up later” doesn’t take into consideration how much people are already sacrificing everywhere else. how out of touch a lot of it is, mostly offered by those who are already successful, or from those who have the luxury of time
most low income writers are self-publishing their work already prepared for a significant loss, after cover art, marketing budgets, editing etc, and so, some low income writers will never be able to justify self-publishing at all. and money aside, other avenues aren’t exactly easy either, patreon subscribers, for example, look for discord access, social media presence, weekly or bi-weekly updates, asking for more time and more energy from the author. simply the way readers engage now, expecting immediate sequels, long series, multiple books published a year, constant engagement, this entire set-up is making it almost impossible for low income writers to keep up, and it goes way beyond the monetary limitations.
