Every time a piece of media introduces a male character who’s overworked and lost his childhood due to the amount of pressure that was put on him to be the strongest I’m like oh okay. So he wants to be a housewife.

My mother works in PR and has for over 30 years. She is exteremly good at her job and worked with some really important people and writers and in her own words "most of their careers would be over yesterday if they had to do their own PR", but she's also pointed out that this is actually something she and the people she work with have to ask themselves a lot, because there's a balance. Readers like connecting with authors and certain types of audiences are better reached in certain ways. In her own words "it means much more if an author directly talks to their readers rather then through a third party but you also need third parties to talk to readers". It's a balance. There's also a lot of ways for writers to reach out to readers. I say this not to discredit the above concerns cause they are valid concerns but there's hope for the misanthropes of the writing world yet!

circling back around to the issue of writers being expected to do all their own goddamn marketing via social media these days, because it completely nixes the possibility of writers being weird shut ins, off-putting eccentrics, or misanthropes. 80% of the literary canon was written by weird shut ins, off-putting eccentrics, and misanthropes. if you weed out everyone who’s the wrong kind of insane to maintain a twitter presence, who on earth is left

OKAY WAIT so I've been journaling and I like to put stickers on the pages and I told my mom this and she just called me and went "I'm at the store and they have stickers. Do you want the k-kaw-kawayi (kawaii) or Hat soon Miku (Hatsune Miku) stickers?" 😭😭😭

the 5 hours it took to go thrift shopping and try stuff on was worth it because now I have funky gender shirts, some jeans (a miracle. never could find any that fit right, but we found some today!! 4 pairs even!!), and some funky gender shoes that I am kicking my little feet about so hard
