A bit late to the party, but can we bring back hairsticks as an accessory for persons with long hair? They're so pretty and stylish!

I mean, look how many different styles there are! And they come in so many colors and types of decorations, you can pretty much match them to any outfit or updo.

And they come in wood and acrylic too, if that's more your bag.

And they're lovely simple (very very pointy) hair accessories.

And nothing else.

I was watching a video about civilians doing CPR to save strangers’ lives and a Dane in the comments talked about how in Denmark we have Heart Runners.

They are civilians who volunteer to drop everything when someone nearby had a heart attack and run to their location to help. Some are directed via the official app to run directly to the person and start CPR while others are told to get a nearby defibrillator and then run to the person. Up to 20 nearby Heart Runners will get the alert just in case some of them are unable to do it immediately. It’s the dispatchers at the emergency department who send out the alert while also sending an ambulance. Heart Runners often get to the person before the ambulance and keep the person alive until the paramedics show up.

What I want to know is who came up with this idea? Because plenty of Dutch people said they also have something like it in the Netherlands but I can’t seem to find anything about where this super helpful system started?

I’m noticing an increase in new fic writers on AO3 who…uh…mayy not know how to format their fics correctly..so here is a quick and VERY important tip

Using a random fic of mine as example..

The left example: ✅✅✅

The right example: ❌❌❌

Idk how many times I’ve read a good fic summary and been so excited to read before clicking on it and being met with an ugly wall of text. When I see a huge text brick with zero full line breaks my eyes blur and I just siiiigh bc either I click out immediately or I grin and bear it…it’s insufferable!

If a new character speaks, you need a line break. If you notice a paragraph is becoming too large, go ahead and make a line break and/or maybe reconfigure the paragraph to flow better. I’m not a pro writer or even a huge fic writer but…please…ty…

in light of Trump's inauguration speech declaring multiple national emergencies that require him to take god-knows-what executive actions immediately, I'd like to remember this chapter of "On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder:

The manipulation of the Bible to hurt others is sickening. All true Christians should be like Mariann Edgar Budde and never like Trump.

Do not let anyone shame you for being part of the LGBTQIA+. Especially not a Christian.

Hey y'all. Here's something for you.

If you’re an American federal employee and got an email saying “it’s ok to quit your job.” Do not, for the love of everything, quit your job. This is purely a scare tactic to get rid of as many people as possible without legal consequences.

you have inherent value simply because you exist. your worth to the world around you is not dictated by how well you fulfill social norms.

you do not need to be "productive" to be appreciated. you don't need to change how you look to be loved. you don't need to censor yourself for your story to be heard.

there are more people on this planet than you could possibly know that would love to be in your company, exactly as you are now - people who would want to be your friend, hear your truth, see you smile, or explore life with you.

it's okay. you're okay. you may not feel okay, your life may feel like it's in shambles, the world may feel beyond fucked up... but you, as a living, breathing human being - you are enough.

anyone who tries to tell you different is just repeating and believing a lie - probably a lie they were told about themselves, too. it's not a reflection of you. ok?
