#be kind people

Oh joy, I just got the kys messages about wonkytoons. I haven’t even said anything about this crap but know what?

Fuck off. I don’t know what happened to make you so butt hurt that you’d target random people and say such disgusting things but listen to me very carefully.

This kind of behavior will never make you happy or make you friends. All it will do is, at best, annoy people and make them avoid you. At worst you could actually harm someone. You’re lucky I’m not someone who cares about this shit because someone could actually take it to heart and hurt themselves and that would %100 be on you. You are a spineless coward hiding behind alts to bully people because of your injured ego or whatever.

If you’re so upset that you resort to this, get off the internet, go touch grass, and get out of this fandom. We don’t want people like you here, and I say that with my full chest. I will never tolerate bullying.

If anyone needs to talk because they are being affected by this bs, my messages are open. Stay safe, be kind.

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. 💛🦊💚✌️

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.

i can't express how absolutely important it is that when you make an edgy, brooding, badass character who's tough as nails and good at fighting and whatever, you HAVE to give them at least one reason to become completely helpless and pathetic. you have a panic attack quota to fulfill.

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.

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
