So this is more me venting, but also showing the power of community. Anheuser-Busch recently dropped their sponsorship of Pridefest in StL. As a (former, but now in location only) local company that had been a sponsor for 30 years, this was a big blow to the organizers.

As a result, a lot of local bars are boycotting Budlight products (selling giving money from current stock to local queer orgs). Since Anheuser-Busch hasn't been owned by the (still local) family in like over a decade, I doubt the current owners care that the city that didn't abandon them during the that ridiculous queer-phobic boycott is now turning on them for this ridiculous decision.

And in case someone tries to get on my case about how stl pride was super corporate and tg pride is better, yeah, I know, but it was also the largest and most visible celebration during June for queer kids to easily be able to get to and see. It has its issues, but this is still a problem for everyone if it can't happen due to money issues.

been doing a LOT of analog note-taking / journaling / planning lately (new years' resolution fulfilled! yes!), and I've slowly but surely started writing mostly in cursive again.

that said, I'm old (almost 35, ew) so I have questions.

if you want to RB this and put you age / locale / whatever else you think is relevant in the tags, that'd be very cool

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!

This is your permission to not think about the horrors for a bit. You can put it down now. They’ll be there tomorrow
