any advice on how to not rot in the bed all day? 🥲 I have a remote job and don't even bother dressing up anymore. I want to get out of this rut but never seem to know how to do that... :(

hi! i think the best way would be to start small! you can try and separate work and home at home itself, like if you can keep a separate workspace and stick to that, or strictly maintain work hours.

you could also take your work outside — work from a cafe, a library if possible, or a coworking space, or a park. maybe if any of your friends work remotely or have a hybrid workspace, you could work together for the day.

also, since your work largely means you're at home, find time in the day to step out. take a walk, go for a run, or just go sit somewhere, but try and get fresh air and light everyday. it really does help. you could also get a hobby that needs you to be outside, like you could play something or swim or cycle, or if that's an option, go hiking.

check the notes too, for any ideas. i hope this helps!

When in a productivity rut, I often find the best thing to do is get out of your space. This could mean taking a walk, moving your work setup to a different room, or my personal favorite, heading to a coffee shop with my laptop to start the work day. Next time you are feeling a little sluggish, uninspired, or demotivated- try it out! ☕️

WFH Burnout is Real. Here's How to Beat It 🔥💻

Working from home sounded like a dream... until it wasn't. Blurred lines between work and personal life, zero human interaction (except maybe with your cat), and the constant temptation to raid the fridge? WFH burnout is a real struggle, but don't worry, we've got you covered.

Boundaries are Your BFF

First things first, set some boundaries, fam. Create a dedicated workspace (even if it's just a corner of your kitchen table), establish set work hours, and stick to them. And for the love of all that is holy, close your laptop when the workday is done. Your Netflix queue will thank you.

Find Your Flow

WFH can get monotonous, so spice things up! Take breaks to stretch, go for a walk, or blast your favorite tunes. And don't be afraid to switch up your workspace. Try working from a coffee shop or a co-working space for a change of scenery and some much-needed human interaction.

Why You Should Be Writing Short Stories (And How to Do It Right!)

Before you write a book, you need to write short stories. Here’s why.

You want to write better. You want to publish a book. You want to make money with your writing. It all starts with short stories. Many of the self-published authors I’ve worked with had a book idea, wrote it, and wanted to publish it. This is great—except that most of these people had never written anything before their book. A book is not practice. A book is the goal after you’ve put in the…

pls do nsfw modern linzin: Lin lost a bet, and as her punishment, she had to wear a toy while Tenzin controls the remote.

Teacher AU: work from home edition

Typhoon coming through Republic City forces the school to do classes online for a few days. No one knows that Lin is actually at Tenzin's place. Teachers are all having a meeting and their favorite one is talking

Raiko.

Lin lost a bet in the morning, and now she has something inside of her and Tenzin keeps buzzing it at random times. She tries to hold her face as much as she can as she adjusts herself. It's more infuriating because Tenzin can see the effect it has on her through Zoom ;)

He'll do it for a few seconds thankfully so that nothing unprofessional happens on camera. And so Bumi or Tarrlok don't bully them because they were sharp enough to catch on.

But then Tenzin holds it for almost a full minute and Lin accidentally presses the hand-raising emoji on the meeting. Tenzin instantly stops it.

Raiko: "Got a question, Beifong?"

Lin unmutes herself, jaw clenched. "Nope. Just accidentally hit it."

Tenzin smirks and shakes his head.

The meeting continues and it's beginning to grate on Lin's gears. With expertly and minimal movements, she grabs her phone and places it under the table. Eyes flicker from the computer to her phone as her fingers tap along the screen.

Bzzz. Bzzz. Bzzz.

Tenzin glances at his phone and opens it up.

His eyes widen and mouth salivates, and the remote loosens from his hand.

It's a video of Lin raising spreading her legs underneath the table, fingering herself. She's rubbing her clit slowly in circles, fingertips inching inside her center as the audio of the meeting plays in the background. Then Lin zooms in close enough for him to see how she's soaking wet, lace panties damp and he can see her dripping on the seat.

"Wang, you good?"

Tenzin flinches and turns his phone over.

"Yup, I'm fine. I thought my dog was gonna throw up or something."

"Oh...ew."

A cough. "Yeah."

As soon as the meeting is over, Tenzin presses the remote and can hear Lin gasping and moaning. By the time he goes to the room she's in, Lin is crumpled on the floor and bent over on her knees. Tenzin grabs a condom and pulls down his boxers (he didn't need to wear pants doing wfh)

Tugging off those vibrating panties, Tenzin kneels behind Lin and spreads her legs before plunging into her.

Lin gasps at the girth and length stretching her before she could recover from the panties stimulating her clit. Tenzin growls, pushing her tank top higher and gripping her waist as he fucks her deep and hard from behind. He squeezes her ass and smacks.

"Naughty, naughty girl. Sending nudes in the middle of work."

"You...started it..." Lin whines, arching her spine more and relaxing her upper torso so that his dick thrusts deeper into her.

Tenzin snakes his hand in front of her, reaching for her clit and earning higher gasps from Lin. His speed increases, intensity following, and he can feel her clenching around him.

"I'm cumming, Tenzin!"

"I know you are, baby." And he presses harder on her clit, rubbing faster as Lin's legs quiver and shake.

The sight of her ass jiggling everytime his body collides against hers is erotic as hell, and he can't stop staring. But the wave of his own pleasure is building and he pulls out for a moment.

"Get on your knees," he commands, standing and walking in front of Lin. He pushes his dick between her breasts, and Lin immediately knows, squishing her breasts. Lin moves up and down while Tenzin thrusts in a slower rhythm. His breathing is uneven, and deep, low growls crawl out of his throat as hot, sticky white liquid erupts from the tip of his dick and splatters all over Lin's chest.

As the orgasm melts from his body, his cock is still hard enough and he spreads his cum along Lin's breasts.

"Next time I'll do it on your face."

Lin gazes up at him and licks her lips. "Only if you win the next bet."

Okay, serious question as a writer. How do you write as fast as you do. Pls give tips if you can. <3

hi!!!! it is really nice and flattering that you are asking me for writing advice. candidly i don't know if i have any actionable, technical tips, but i can tell you about my "process" so to speak (with the caveat that i am not a professional writer or a professionally trained writer. at best, i am a hobbyist writer and have been writing fics since i was like...16? so there's my resume for you):

the simplest way i can think to explain it is that i don't think when i write, which sounds a little counter-intuitive, but bear with me here while i give you the non-simplest way to explain it.

i will write and write and write whatever my brain tells me to or whatever my brain has been dreaming up the past few days a little bit like clearing a dirty faucet. one of my favourite books is bird by bird by anne lamott, and it's about writing, and one of my fav quotes from it is "the dream must be vivid and continuous", and NO she probably did not mean this about toxic yuri fanfiction but whatever. the reason i bring that quote up is that i am literally constantly, always, always thinking up new stories in my head, and have been since i was young (whether this is healthy or not is up for debate and also none of my business). by the time i sit at my computer in the morning for work, i have an entire world or an entire scene i want to write and i'll just dump it all on to a pages document.

(also worth noting i have the privilege of working in tech (fake job) and it's wfh (which makes it extra fake), so i'm sitting at my computer like 8 hours a day minimum already)

i think it also helps me to think of it in the sense that fanfic, at its core, is a little low-stakes for me comparative to other writing endeavours. i am not being paid to do it. i am not being graded on it. no one i know IRL is reading it. for me, all of that means there is a LOT less self-conciousness or mental blocking in that regard as well. i'm writing within an already-existing world with already-existing characters with already-existing, clear motivations, regardless of what universe they're in. plus fanfic in general is far more forgiving of egregious use of and dependence on tropes.

worth noting as well that fic is the one and ONLY place i've been able to write as fast as i do... i've been working on a novel for maybe an entire year now, and in that entire year i've written about 30-40k words for it vs. the 250k+ words i've written for fuckin. rhaenicent. so if you're looking for tips for writing outside of the context of fic....shrug emoji. sorry.

hope this is helpful tho?? idk .sorry this was long. case in point with the 'writing and writing until i go 'oh wait. i should shut up now'' x

Whenever people talk about ‘kids don’t play/pay attention/read!’ The answers people give are always

- because of phonics not being taught

- kids are kids and naturally have short attention spans

- phones and unrestricted internet

- tired and overworked by an education designed to train them for capitalism

- underfunded and overworked teachers and parents

And while all of these are definitely factors, it doesn’t escape me that no one ever brings up covid in these discussions, and it kind of disgusts me.

Adults have completely and utterly failed these kids and refuse to do anything to protect them, so they’re getting reinfected over and over and over and over again with a vascular disease that causes compounding damage with each infection. Covid can cause serious brain damage and autoimmune dysfunction, leading to brain fog and fatigue. Children don’t have the education or power to keep themselves safe, it’s supposed to be the adults responsibility- and we have all left them to suffer and die and it’s so nasty seeing these posts that blame poor academic performance on anything and everything but the pandemic that continues to rage. We need to reestablish mask requirements, implement clean air in schools and public places, and normalize WFH/remote schooling. The bare minimum which seems nearly impossible to achieve in a society starting to tip into collapse.

hi katy! felt like sharing this, but after some months of job searching and not going anywhere, i finally have a place interested in interviewing me! it’ll be a hybrid job, with one day going to the office and five days WFH. i really wanna try and do well on this, do you, or any of the rest of your followers, have any interview tips to help prepare?

Thanks for all you do, you’re a wonderful person! And I hope you have a happy halloween! :^)

I'm so happy for you!! That sounds awesome and I really hope you get the job!

Anyway, I definitely recommend prepping for the interview instead of just winging it. I know that sounds obvious, but you'd be amazed at how much less stressful an interview is if you've prepared for it beforehand. Obviously you're not gonna know what questions they'll ask ahead of time, but when I was interviewing I looked up different articles about the most common interview questions and tried to prepare answers for them.

Also, when they ask you "tell me about yourself," don't talk about your love of anime or your knitting hobby. You want to give like a 3 sentence overview of your work experience and skills, especially how it relates to the job you're interviewing for.

You also want to make sure you thoroughly research the company and job description beforehand. They're very likely gonna ask why you want this position, and "I need the money" or "you have great benefits" isn't the answer they want to hear. For example, for my most recent job interview for the job I landed, I said that I was very interested in the position because it allows me to expand my knowledge of accounting and because the company I now work for is a not-for-profit doing important work.

If you can't think of anything flattering to say about the company's function, just focus on the job description and compliment their company culture. At the very least, you want to have it come across to the interviewers that you have looked into their company and are interested in what they do. Yes, I know it's stupid, but you have to play ball during the interview process.

Also, always have questions handy to ask at the end of the interview! It looks really bad to not ask any questions because it seems like you're not interested in learning more about the position. When I was interviewing I had a list of 20 questions in my Notes app I could ask and just picked out the best ones. Here are some of my favorite questions; you should aim to ask 3-5 questions.

How will I be trained?

What does a typical day on the job look like?

What other roles have successful employees in this position transitioned into?

What grabbed you about my resume?

Can you tell me anything about the team I’ll be working with?

What are some challenges I can expect to face in this role?

What do you like the most about working here?

Do you have an ideal start date in mind?

That's really all the big stuff I can think of. I definitely recommend looking up articles or videos on how to prep for an interview, but also don't overload yourself with information. It's important to come across as natural when you interview, and like I said before it's impossible to know what questions they'll ask beforehand so all you can really do is have some vague ideas about how to answer some of the questions that might be asked.

Good luck, and thank you for your kind words!
