The story workshopping process can be so unserious like today a girl (I’ve been told does not understand that her best friend has a girlfriend, not another female friend, and is therefore jealous of the girlfriend for being a fellow female friend) wrote her main character as having a hopeless crush on her best friend complete with homoerotic musings about best friend’s hair and then when the workshoppers go “yo. Homoeroticism!! Crush!! Lesbianism even!!” she goes. “Am I not straight??? Wow lots to think about. I thought that was like normal I think about my best friend like that. Anyways this was a story about my ex who did not kill me but I would not be surprised if he killed someone else haha” 😵💫 and you just have to roll with it like okay so true anyways how sexy should the car make-out scene with the serial killer boyfriend be exactly?

if you are new at being an adult/living on your own (especially if you started out adulthood or post grad life during the early days of the pandemic) and feel lonely despite having friends and people you talk to, please invite people to hang out at your place. this sounds like stupid advice but not enough people take it to heart. “oh we’re not that close” that’s how you get that close!!! I cannot emphasize enough how much your friends don’t care if you have socks on the floor or some dishes in the sink or a cramped apartment that doesn’t look very nice or some central activity to keep them entertained. invite people over. don’t limit yourself to things that cost money and exist only in public. let yourself be with people in the intimacy of your own home. the number of times a friend has come over and just started doing the dishes for me or I’ve sat matching socks while they folded their laundry on the floor. let them bring some snacks instead of venmoing each other for takeout. provide some tea or alcohol or whatever you like and can afford. you don’t need an excuse to see people. you don’t need an excuse to let them see you.

I was thinking about the overwhemed barista moral panic again and how there were people in the replies flexing working insane hours, and I'm sorry, but if you are a nurse, surely you know this shit is not healthy? Surely you know this is negatively affecting your life and that humans shouldnt be regularly working long ass shifts because thats not sustainable??
Captalism has rooted people's brains to shit that should be obvious
