every writer knows the pain of having an idea that’s “too good” to write because you know you can’t do it justice

Time to feed unprofessional managers what they’ve been dishing out for far too long.

Also, like, I'm sorry but if you've set up a free shelter, and people refuse to go because sleeping on the sidewalk under a freeway bridge is more pleasant, that's fucking on you, that's not on them.

You really can't compete with sleeping under the overpass so you are going to force people into shelter?

Unspeakably cruel and stupid.

i'm going to hold everyone's hands when i say this: if a creator you love is Christian or Mormon and purposefully does not disclose their beliefs on politics or human rights, you need to assume it's for a reason 👀

and i'm sure that sounds harsh to some people but think about it: if they really cared about the LGBTQ community, or women's rights, immigrants, the environment, etc and they had a huge platform to make change, why would they be silent about it *all* the time?

literally the only argument you can make for them is that they don't want to lose followers and eyeballs, aka lose money, aka they WANT to appeal to people who might not give a shit about those things, including your humanity. and I would encourage you to ask yourself, how does that make them any better than those people?

edit: and yes I get that sometimes you just want a break and don't want political content. there's nothing wrong with that, and it's a case by case thing for sure. but in the case of absurdly rich, conservative lifestyle influencers, I just feel like we should want to know who we're giving our money and attention to.

also all the people that got mad at me for insinuating that Nara Smith's whole bit is rooted in truth....... not to say told you so lol but...

Republicans have indoctrinated paternalism to keep the next generation from questioning the flaws, deceptions, and ignorance inherent in conservative politics.

Today is going to be rough for so many people. It's going to be rough for you. There are things you can't change today.

But you can take care of yourself. Eat breakfast, drink water, take a long shower, put on clean clothes/favorite clothes. Checking in on the politics as needed, rather than wallowing in them all day. Put on a comfort movie or show, and watch that for a while. Focus on your job if you have to be there today. Reach out if you need help.

You can also check in on your friends- making sure they have eaten and had water and showered and have something comforting. Reach out if they might need help. The only way out of this is through, and we need each other to get there.

We will have a long fight ahead of us for the next 4 years. We would have had a long fight ahead of us regardless of who won; only the kind of fight would have been different. This is the fight we have: survival and damage control. Not the fight we wanted, but it is what it is, and we're still going to use tooth and nail.

Today is Day 1.

Today is checking with your clerk's office, if you mailed your ballot, to ensure your ballot got counted. Today is weathering the despair. Today is taking care of yourself and checking on your loved ones to make sure they have what they need to weather Day 1 with you.

Tomorrow is resolving to vote in the next local elections to aid in damage control, and planning the next steps.

Survival and damage control.

Hope is not a fragile flower, easily crushed beneath a fascist boot. Hope is a fighter with blood on her knuckles and dirt on her knees, and we are going to help her get back on her feet every time.
