hey y’all, I see people praising amazon prime for treating their queer rep well (and why it would be a good home for OFMD)

Let’s not forget

Paper Girls (Axed after one fantastic season)

League of Our Own (Also axed after one fantastic season)

Both were popular. Both had amazing queer rep (primarily lesbians) and Prime still axed them.

I’m not saying OFMD wouldn’t fair well on there (they only need one more season after all), but don’t put Prime on a pedestal as this great LGBTQ- friendly platform. They’ve treated us like trash too.

#ofmd #renew as a crew #amazon prime #paper girls #league of our own #league of our own was basically OFMD but with baseball instead of pirates #it was good #paper girls was so so good too #I’m sad about paper girls now. augh #our flag means death #oh and not to mention Amazon is an absolutely trash company

i'm so happy i decided to take a leap of faith and start over (again) because i've finally found something i'm both good at and enjoy doing and i just. i love my job so fucking much.

#i woke up this morning feeling so tired and sad #not wanting to leave the apartment at all #but then i thought 'what if something really fun or amazing happens at work today'#and it might not have been the most eventful shift but meeting all the patrons lifted my spirits so much #all the kids that come directly from school to to hang out in the library #the guy who wanted to print a few papers and thanked me for helping him understand how the app works #the mom who wanted me to just. give her a book because she wanted to read something but didn't know what to read #and this teenage girl who did her two week work experience at the same time as i did my internship #who gave me the biggest smile when she realized that i remembered her #and my co-worker who told a colleague from another library that i'm really good at what i do and that she trusts me completely #(that same co-worker also got so incredibly happy when i told her i could work next sunday after all)#i'm so grateful that i ended up doing my internship at that library #and that i somehow ended up working there too #going back to work after years away was honestly terrifying but i feel so safe there #i'm sure i'll end up working somewhere else next year #but i couldn't have gotten a better place to start

Just saw a TikTok complaining about fanfics that didn't have "enough dialogue" because "reading more than three sentences" was hard.

I'm not against heavy dialogue-oriented fics; they are fun, but... that's a script. You want to read a fucking script, hope you know that. A writer isn't "bad" because they are... you know, writing. Just say it isn't your thing and move on, but categorize something as "bad" because you lack the ability to fucking read... ain't the author's problem; it seems like a "you" one.

#im training myself into a descriptive writing style and reading that was a slap in the face... it's not that i dont like dialogue but #i need to convey feelings showing them as I want to I can't have that just with dialogue I WISH I was good enough to do that tho #because there's people who can but im not so-#the other day i saw a girl complaining about a book having WORDS what the fuck is WRONG WITH YOU #SHOW ME FEELINGS SHOW ME METAPHORS SHOW ME YOUR SOUL IN WRITTEN WORDS #I JUST THINK people aren't reading as much as they used to... just a thought after seeing people on booktok #like... you have books.... for what exactly? pretty colors? covers? just to say you have them for the aesthetics and go home #???? god ... the art of the written word is beautiful and unique to humans it lets out your soul and your spirit in paper bringing your min #into the physical word and you are just gonna call it BORING what the HELL IS WRONG WITH THAT AAAAAAAAAAAAAA #KAFKA WE REALLY ARE IT NOW #in a world where everything has to be fast and immediate we should look into art as something worth waiting for... idk man my thoughts #maybe im just too dense with my feelings with creation and ain't that deep but to me it is actually...#ive wanted to be a writer since I learned how to read not because I liked to write but because my soul gets a little lighter when I do it

have a sketch dump

#i really like all of these but putting them by themselves would be too much #rip van winkle #hellsing #zorin blitz #they're placed as if it has some sense to it #keep in mind that it's only like idk 10% of rip sketches i have #(ok it might be a bigger percent actually but i wanna be dramatic about it)#and only nearly the half i draw is saved #that girl artistic choices #ok so good night everyone i share the time zone with #off to write my term paper eat щи and listen to пошлая молли

8, 11, 13 and 37 for the asks! ❤️

8. What cleaning product do you swear by?

I'll use Clorox/Lysol wipes for pretty much anything that's not someone's body or meant to be eaten off of.

11. What's something you saved up for and then regretted buying?

Our king-size bed frame looks great—and was the result of a lot of searching for the exact look—but is not of the quality we'd expected given the price (which was admittedly an on-sale find at Pottery Barn Teen, of all places, but still). It kinda wiggles and squeaks a little even just climbing onto it, and last year one of the peg legs straight-up broke off seemingly spontaneously.

13. Which filter are you most likely to go "eh, it's probably fine" when you find out you need to change it?

The little charcoal filter in the coffee machine, which I honestly didn't even know needed changing until my mother-in-law brought it to my attention a few years ago.

37. Do you still listen to the same music you listened to in high school?

Not exclusively but definitely. There was an incident recently where something brought up Good Charlotte and led to Boyfriend and I belting out every word to "Waldorf Worldwide" while trying to bathe our toddler, who will surely wear the same look on her face as a teenager when I assume this will happen again, because evidently those lyrics are never leaving me at this point.

#hondagirll #ask meme #adulting #listen up 'cause there ain't nothin' funny / i wanna hot girl and a little bit of money #i wanna little house where my band can live / 'cause i'm tired of moving every other weekend #fun story: i got to (phone) interview the bassist from good charlotte once in high school and it was a top-tier teenage Moment #i was a 'correspondent' for the teen section of the local paper which was a super-fun (albeit unpaid) gig in its own right #i forget the details but somehow one thing led to another and the kickass (adult/actual journalist) section editor pulled a string or two #while the band was coming into town for a concert (that i already had tickets to!)#i don't remember the details and that was now 20 years ago but WHAT A TIME #another awesome article was when i interviewed the local rocky horror shadowcast at a bar i was definitely too young to enter at 17 #the people were SO fun and nice and i came home positively REEKING of smoke despite never having touched a cigarette in my life #i really did think i might want to be a journalist for a bit there

actually scratch my last post. teen sassy going to the olympics...summer 1992,,,, bringing rebecca with her to spain to a) have fun and b) get rebecca's mind off of the previous september

#sassy being there when they caught paul still stands out to me #sassy inviting rebecca to the olympics in SPAIN with her i know they were two teenage girls having a good time #sassy just doesn't seem like the person to carry it into her adulthood bc. she's sassy.#i think way too much abt sassy collins btw #sassy giving up swimming because not to be cliche but. it was probably Not her dream and instead her parents/coach's #and she wanted to go to school to become a therapist so it was an act of rebellion to give up swimming #she studied at the bar where rebecca worked btw. always was right there with her books and papers

. anyway after writing the tags 4 this post i told my research partner i will no longer follow his dreams lmao. still helping w it but i need to engage in research that i find satisfying

#i think ive been waiting for something for a while and i will spend the next year waiting for it too #i thought i felt panic but i have decided to read it as anticipation. the thrill of rejection or of moving forward or the latter as #a result of the former. i left you with your backpack unattended in the cafe because on fridays i am done #putting my life on hold for another whim-without-a-warning #this cross country service is delayed by 26 minutes so i will grab a bucket and start shovelling the water away from the tracks #everyone is moving on in some different way and im sorry if you think im mean for telling you getting so drunk will disable you from #recording your brainwaves effectively but it seems like you think i owe you an awful lot. one year ago in four days my friend got me hegel's #science of logic for my birthday and i thanked him for proving to me the existence of things this is what i do he said #and then he will spend the rest of his life breathing philosophy and i dont want to spend the rest of my life #breathing someone elses dreams i wait for the moment of realisation. this is now a 30 minute delay. i was supposed to worship beautiful #things and that is what i will do. i think i have a best friend and i know i have a lover and i know to #restrict my love the way you have. im sorry. i hope you understand when i tell you. i am now sitting on the floor in the luggage section of #this incredibly busy train and i saw a photo of her with her boyfriend and her hair in braids smiling like a fool this is the #except a week ago you told me you almost took too much this time to live. you are a beautiful girl with a beautiful soul and you know you #have already changed the world and it somehow was not enough. now you are smiling without any makeup on next to him #and yesterday you cried in an airport in the states when you were too full of love. this is the most extraordinary human being i have met.#tomorrow he heads off to princeton while his best friend heads to harvard. he goes there to make the world a better place. he is the most #extraordinary person i have ever met. the issue with human beings is that we are incredibly good at almost dying and keeping going.#you try to kill yourself and publish a paper and give a talk. you negotiate the seperation between your own parents and submit another #phd application. i am surrounded by extraordinary people with extraordinary minds and incredibly broken happy hearts.#i only see you smile when you talk about robotics. i still dont know how manifolds work and i love the concept anyway. i dont know.#i do know that i refuse to live unsatisfied.#you can keep drinking. im going to drink this reality up #i think i was a horrible person and i refuse to engage with that mentality again no matter what it takes.

Some days I'm pretty content with my childhood other days I'm ripping my hair out because it just doesn't add up !! someone is hiding things from me !! I don't trust anyone !!

#im studying 'family as a psycosocial context' rn and its been pretty interesting!#and i was talking to my mom an article with an evolutionary perspective #bc we've talked before abt how this area of psychology can come off as dismissive abt socioeconomic factors & put unfair pressure on mothers #so i brought it up bc the paper didnt define parenting in terms of good/bad which was interesting !#but then at the end i said something abt 'the article talks abt abuse which obviously isnt relevant for me'#and she wouldnt answer me but her eyes were all watery and weird and I DONT LIKE THAT #like girl 😟 i was coming to terms with the occasional childhood neglect but abuse ? dont even tell me that bc what #like i know things werent perfect for me growing up but i hate how weird my mom is abt everything #and she starts crying if we get too much into it so i feel a little bad bringing it up #i also feel like when i do get new information abt something in my past it always makes me have a crisis #so maybe its just not worth it ?#bc i do feel like im in a rly good place rn and i dont need to know if i was 'abused' whatever that means #what i do know is bad enough and makes me sad as it is #i think the reason i get so paranoid abt it is because i have trouble remembering the stuff that has been told to me #and some vague things i do remember have been refuted ? so i cant rly trust my own memory #but idk if i can trust anyone else either #i mean i do trust my mom generally but shes so emotional and guilt-prone that im not sure what to believe #what i do know for sure is that there is a lot shes holding back in terms of what shes told me #which i dint love tbh #personal

arts and crafts sunday: finished making my journal 👍

#this is NOT what i had envisioned LOL id thought the cover would be messier like junk journal patchwork kind of thing but i didn't rly have #the right sorts of fabric and it was too much of a headache deciding how to make it look SO i just used some pink satin i already had and #went for a simpler look . 10 year old girl ballerina core maybe #i should have tested how satin would glue first lol because it is very uneven and there are like raised bits around the sewing #(i sewed decorative squiggles across the fabric first)#i will maybe add a pocket envelope thingy inside the cover but i want to find some nice paper first #in those last 2 pics you can see the boards for the cover n spine #whenever i make books i usually use the cardboard backing from pads of watercolour paper i use lol.hashtag reuse and recycle #anyway .hopefully i wont like use a few pages and then abandon it. im envisioning doing collages in it and stuff because sometimes #its good to just cut and stick like you're in primary school again.

posting your artwork publically can be so rewarding and so motivating but most of the time it just results in psychological turmoil inflicted on yourself

#like oh my god girl help #im so sad and over my confidence to do with my art being paper thin and fragile but nothing changes no matter how much i like a piece #i hate the idea that artists only draw for interaction bc i definitely do not do that id have to be stupid to with the stuff i draw #but i also hate the idea that artists shouldn't want interaction on their work? like it's a very human emotion to want your work to be seen?#i just wish people liked my stuff more truly. im aware my style is specific and to a particular taste and ik that my work isn't the like #high flawless standard of most traditional art that gets posted. like ik that and like god i wish i had that skill level but i don't!!#i like what i do tho i just wish it felt like a lot of other people did idk maybe that's vain or something. I don't know!!#i wish i did digital art but i hate working digital lol #ppl don't believe me when i say that digital art is preferred over traditional online but i rlly believe it's true #and if your traditional art does well it's at the level of digital art flawlessness #im simultaneously like im too young to be crazy good like other people online but also im too old to be on the path to getting good. yk #i blame it on a small fandom sometimes but that's unfair bc art within small fandoms still does really well #idk i think im just a flop probably but also i think im insecure. schrodinger's online artist crisis #anyways sorry ignore this im just running my mouth don't pity reblog my shit or anything i don't want that #idk what i want but it's not that lmao #i think i want to be better at art and i want people to like my art. which i have like minimal control over.#being an artist is fun until the turmoil sets in

well darlings it is once again essay crunch time. I can't tell you how badly I want to sleep. but nevertheless the train chugs on........ it is only 1200 words so it is manageable it is manageable it is MANAGEABLE SONGBIRD............ it's only worth a fourth of your grade (WAILS)

#a girl can be so sleepy at this time of year #alas #well at any rate i shall be done with the turn of the screw for good after this paper. things to be thankful for #henry james is one of the authors on my growing list (forster is on the list too) of writers i appreciate but can't stand #because at the end of the day when you've still got 600 pages left to read before friday it's not so much about #liking the texts as much as it is about Get This Out Of My Head Immediately #i am...... simple girl #i want to get back to reading crime and punishment. and to a lesser degree women in love #because i also do not care for lawrence as beautiful as his prose may be #ANYHOW grumpy english lit opinions from songbird again..... im tired #(adventures in class)#slings and arrows of outrageous fortune in year 21

I’m going through it right now

#i'm remembering that even in high school i would cry in the shower about how much of a nobody i would become #i wanted to make an animation about an artist who kept throwing away sketches and art pieces because of the unsatisfaction #breaking down and opening drawers of drawings through the years and just throwing them everywhere #and the camera focuses on a very old crayon drawing. two little hands pick it up and bring it up to the artist #'look what i drew.' of course the lil girl is just the younger artist #the artist takes the picture and tells the lil girl 'wow it looks so good. i'm proud of you'#and the lil girl says 'im proud of you too'#and that the point where im crouching int eh shower sobbing #like i was imagining this whole scene during one of my showers #like right now. im not in the shower but im crying #im in the shower telling myself 'im proud of you. im proud of you. im proud of you. look at how far youve come'#'you have stacks of drawings that are taller than that lil girl. look at you'#well taller cumulatively if you like printed my digital stuff onto paper #oh well. im gonna go blow my nose pssh #this was supposed to be a warmup but im just wasting half an hour crying man #one day ill have my lifechanging moment. for now. ill continue to cry in the shower #doodles #egg king

i did actually try watching the thousand autumns animation a while back but i could never tell what was going on bc the translation was. not good. i couldn’t take it seriously bc they kept using “Evil Gang” unironically

#moi #i was also generally very confused about like #can the protagonist see…?#like before he got injured he could right?#and then he fell and bonked his head real good #and then he was like. fantasy ancient chinese legally blind #not blind blind but do NOT ask that boy to read. he knows it’s a piece of paper and that’s IT #but then other times it seemed like they were like ‘um. so forget about that for a minute.’#he was like some hot commodity bc he read a special book right?#and then Evil Gang Guy was like. aren’t you tired of being nice. don’t you want to go apeshit. i want you to go apeshit. PLEASE go apeshit.#and main guy was like no i like being nice actually. it’s very nice to be nice. you should try it.#& Evil Gang Guy was like hmm no but i will occasionally pop up out of nowhere & sexily sweep you off your feet. deal?#and main guy was like i don’t think those are related. and also please don’t do that.#and Evil Gang Guy was like too late i am already sexily sweeping you off your feet #anyway that’s what i remember about thousand autumns #also a bald guy and two girls that seemed lowkey like pidw wives

sometimes you will have a period of your life that is so good for your ego and so bad for absolutely everything else

#remember when i used to work full time and go to school full time i had the worst hair ever i chopped it myself in the bathroom mirror #i was turning in good papers like every week and girls wanted me #men too but like.#i'm not saying i had game that's never been true. but i was so fun and unhinged back then #anxious 100 percent of the time absolutely miserable but i had a social life i was making that misery work!!#why am i so much more fun when i haven't slept #where's that disgusting girl energy #i have a haircare routine now you know what i don't have a life and/or a job #hhjkkkklll #i think it wore me out maybe permanently which is so unfortunate #i could really use some of that ability to push myself through happenings and events at any cost rn. where'd she go she was so awful #this is me firing gunshots to keep the rent down btw #gotta be pathetic on main sometimes #actually this isn't my main but u get it
