I think it's a bit silly that a lot of people have to specify that mcshep is better, before talking about another pair like:

"Obviously mcshep is better BUT-"

Come on guys, the ship wars are over, our fandom is old now, so let's not walk on eggshells about our ships. It's just popular ships and unpopular ships, popular does not mean better. So, let's not hurt or judge others for not being mcshep shippers.

I have literally had people send me msgs about how they feel comfortable with me because I don't judge their ships, or that they had to anon because they can't deal with the potential backlash, that they are scared to post non-mcshep posts/fics/whatever. (I've been there before as well.)

So, if you don't add in that little note about mcshep being better, or if you just don't ship them in general. Then listen:

It's okay to like other ships. Do your thing!

And if people send you hate for it, then they can just go fuck themselves. 💛🦊💚✌️

Hii

I just saw your post about already receiving many many recs, just take it easy, all the good things (your stories) are worth the wait

Hope you’ll enjoy writting it as much as I enjoy reading them

💕💕 this is so lovely thank you!!!

I plan on keeping my requests open for a few days then closing them so I can write for the ones I have received before opening again.

I feel like it makes it so much more manageable and obtainable for me and means I can get more creative with plot etc (although, maybe people aren’t engaging with my stories with the plot too much haha)

Had a lot of fun playing this Splatfest! Won three 10x battles too!

Regardless who wins, be kind and congratulate the winners! All three teams did well, Team Shiver & Team Frye performed wonderfully! As someone who was on Team Big Man, I enjoyed this one!

I live in South West Florida which was devastated by Hurricane Ian two years ago and killed about 150 people.

Nobody evacuated because it was suposed to hit 2 hours north of us.

We were told Not to evacuate to keep the roads clear for the people in the danger zone north of us.

There's only so many roads out of Florida.

In 2018 Huricane Irma hit and my grandparents who lived in Ft Myers evacuated.

It took 14 hours and every ounce of strength they had to get to the georiga border.

There were no hotels, no shelters open for them. No where to rest or recover and they swore they would never evacuate again.

Irma barely touch their neighborhood and they felt they were completely physically and emotionally exhausted for no reason.

Hurricane Ian saw over 5ft of water sweep through their neighborhood.

They were 5mins from the bridge to Sanibel island in a neighborhood of age 65+ (more like 80+) it was all tiny manufactured homes and trailers and rvs.

Most of those homes are gone now. A handful of people died there in the aftermath from heart attacks and infections to wounds (the clean up process was heart breaking and dangerous) the surge waters took a while to receed.

The stories I could tell about Hurricane Ian.

Please have a heart and don't talk shit about anyone effected by natural disasters.

This week it is Florida, but the same applies.

It didn’t hit me until recently that people genuinely think Kamala Harris was a police officer because of all the people who call her a cop online.

Like I think maybe it’s important people should know she was a prosecutor. She was once a district attorney and later an attorney general for the state of California. And we can discuss how related that is to police work and how tied she is to the carceral system etc etc (but for fairness would have to include her record of pushing for lowering incarceration rates through programs helping former prisoners + her office refusing to jail folks for low level weed offense). But she was never a police officer. Like people should get that clear. Kamala Harris was never a police officer. She was a district attorney. She was never a police officer.

It really makes me sad when I realize that as a society we have decided to classify kindness, clean jokes, and real emotion as something meant for children.

Being grown up doesn't mean you have to be vulgar and rude and sexual. Kids shows shouldn't be just for kids. If the entire world watched My Little Pony at all ages I feel like this world would be a better place because people would know how to handle friendships much better and they'd solve their problems througb talking instead of violence

"Why do you watch kid shows rather than stuff for adults?"

Because kids shows have:

Clean humor that won't make me uncomfortable

Jokes that aren't related to sex, drugs, death or politics

Almost no mention of current events and things that I would like to avoid hearing about in my leisure time

Characters that like each other and treat each other kindly

Plots that hold morals, determination, teamwork and love in high regard, rather than being nihilistic about everything

Interesting and emotional plots that aren't slice of life or sitcom-based

Or drama that relies on real emotion and arcs rather than overdone melodrama and 'who's sleeping with who'

And creative settings and concepts that adult shows would be afraid to use for fear of seeming juvenile.

White people are miserable, racist losers period. They’ve even been getting mad at Japanese people for correcting them about Yasuke as well.

not to sound like a boomer, but I need some people to learn how to write emails in a semi-professional (at the very least) format so you're not cold emailing a business/potential employer/any other stranger about formal matters in the exact same way you'd DM a close friend on instagram

the formality/language can loosen up in the email chain once you've established a rapport and you match the other person if they're being less formal, but please don't have the very first email you send a stranger be written in all lowercase ultra-casual sms slang with no greeting or signature and a billion emojis

love when ppl defend the aggressive monetization of the internet with "what, do you just expect it to be free and them not make a profit???" like. yeah that would be really nice actually i would love that:)! thanks for asking

Incredibly alarming that talks of “peace” in Gaza seem to extend no further than a ceasefire. How do you think they’re gonna start off where they left off themselves? Their houses are destroyed, so many have lost mothers and fathers and brothers and children, they still have no clean water and no food. Any area Israel withdraws out of is an area it already knows has been rendered inhospitable. There was even a direct quote by some IOF soldier gleefully stating how he “wasn’t sure Palestinians could go back to their homes.” So what happens when the US “succeeds at negotiating a ceasefire”? Who will be responsible for helping the Palestinians rebuild all that they’ve lost?
