I’m paying to force seven thousand strangers to see a photo of my late husband having fun with his dog. Tumblr Blaze is totally worth it. XD

The best way to get me to put my back against the wall and refuse to do a thing is to tell me that I have to do it.

You didn't "resist propaganda". You trusted propaganda from people who got the vaccine but told you not to.

I’ll always love John as the big spoon cuddling Rodney.

You know this is true.

You can tell when someone’s frame of reference for “normal people” is more “people at the church sponsored ice cream social” and less “people on the bus”

Y'all

Im not on tiktok and never have been, but I downloaded RedNote just to see what is up, and I am witnessing something truly amazing

The Chinese user community is giving the American tiktok refugees an overwhelmingly warm welcome, meanwhile the American users seem to have collectively agreed that not only will they not let the app be taken over with English and they will provide Mandarin subtitles for everything, they are LEARNING MANDARIN. Ive scrolled through so many videos of Americans offering greetings in Mandarin to try to acclimate to the new environment and be respectful, and speakers of both languages are posting lots of tutorials on language basics and internet slang in Mandarin

My God, there is an AMAZING outpouring of curiosity and delight among everyone to learn about each others cultures and daily lives. People are posting videos of landscapes, cities, towns, and natural areas in USA and China, posting recipes and traditional foods, vlogs of everyday life, and reaching out to find people with similar hobbies.

And it's not just young people! There are loads of videos from middle-aged American guys who have come to post about fishing or motorcycles and are now happily chatting with Chinese users sharing the same interests using Google translate

One American guy who was like. in his 60's had a comment on one of his videos that was like "Red Neck?" and he replied "Yes!" and I just about fucking lost it

Also the Chinese users love, and I mean LOVE, Luigi Mangione. He is apparently broadly adored in China. There is SO much fanart and SO many edits.

There are many threads initiating Chinese users to ask questions of American users about the USA, and vice versa, and everyone on both sides is clearing up a lot of misconceptions. Some of the questions I saw a lot from Chinese users were: "Is it true that American parents kick you out of the house as soon as you turn 18" (not often, but sometimes) "Do you all really wear shoes in bed" (NO!!! Apparently a lot of characters in American sitcoms are shown lying in bed with shoes on which I never noticed before!) and "are there really guns everywhere" (yes).

For the most part Chinese content creators seem just overwhelmed by the sudden influx of hundreds of followers that are super enthusiastic about what they're doing. A lot of them have made posts about how initially they thought the uptick in follower count was some kind of error, or that there was some kind of joke or prank, but then they realized the interest and enthusiasm was genuine and now they're welcoming all the newcomers.

I found several posts by Chinese users saying that this felt like a really profound historical moment, where these previously separated worlds are suddenly smashing together and suddenly there is freedom to learn about each other's cultures and connect. One of them said something along the lines of "This is a 21st century Tower of Babel and even though I'm an atheist I hope God lets this tower stand." OUGH MY HEART.

The app itself works a little bit like a video-based version of Pinterest. It's not really my thing so I probably won't be on there long term but it's been amazing to see what's happening.

Hel I think your real superpower is not the ADHD itself but the fact that you regularly complete your ADHD hyperfixation projects before losing interest/getting distracted by other projects, a skill that boggles the minds of less productive ADHDers like myself.

I must not stray from the hyperfixation.

straying is the mind-killer.

straying is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I will face my hyperfixation.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

Where the hyperfixation has gone there will be nonsense.

Only the next project will remain.

She’s a terrific writer.

What do you see as the best thing you have ever written? Answer and share the love with 3 other writers 💕

This is hard to answer because the best story I think I've written changes depending on whether I am judging it by

skill

popularity

creativity, or

the fun I had writing it

My 'desert island' fic would be The Long Dark, but I have a huge soft spot for 5 Things John Sheppard Keeps In His Tac Vest. The most skilled ones are the drabble fics, red pens and blue skies, because for someone who writes wordy prose keeping it to 100 words is hard, but I'm confident that they make cohesive story arcs despite them being a series of small scenes.
