Thank you, bc “well damn lady I Coke’t remote the clouds” didn’t make a lick of sense
Pros and Cons of making things
Pro: Thing
Con: Make
i think the best thing about gen z is their dedication to self care and by this i mean when john mulaney performed at a college and he took a sip of water the crowd would start applauding and someone yelled at him “hydrate before you die-drate” therefor confusing an already confused man even more
I went to a Hozier concert where he sent his manager out afterward to apologize to fans waiting to meet him. She was like “he’s not feeling great and he’s got a migraine and he’s really sorry” and everyone was like TELL HIM TO GET SOME SLEEP and like, sent her back inside with three dozen Zennial/Gen Z lesbians (okay and a couple of Millennials, I wasn’t the only one) giving her migraine tips to pass on.
The kids are getting back to the idea that we’re a community and should take care of each other, and I really love that.
wow i didn’t even realize this. like just last night, bernie sanders was holding a rally and sounded tired and a little hoarse. almost every comment was a variation of “donate so bernie can take a nap and have some water.”
i love that we’ve started romanticizing taking care of ourselves instead of hurting ourselves.
Writer: There Was Only One Bed…
Smut fans: *gasp!!!!!*
Writer: So They Spooned All Night And The Brooding One Allowed Themselves To Feel Vulnerable For The First Time In Years And The Chirpy One Got Some Quality Snuggles
Fluff fans: *GASP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Alternatively:
There was only one bed and so they lay there together, only inches apart physically but it may as well have been miles for neither could muster the courage to tell the other the true depth of their feelings and so they lay there sleepless in their mutual pining
Angst fans:
You are so goddamn right
When you’re writing as fast as you can type at three a.m. because you’ve been hit with Writing Inspiration™ after a month of staring at the lone word “The” on your doc:
Fanfic Readers: Wow! Look at this well written plot and detailing the author put in! All these little subliminal messages they put in to hint at [insert theory here]! They’re a genius!
Fanfic author: I’m sorry, I did what?
Fanfic author: yes……that is…..absolutely a thing. That I did. Purposefully.
literally real life though
CALLOUT POST @ ALL WRITERS

Your book is going to be great; just put one word in front of the other.
Until we hit a plot hole.
Nope. No negativity - you drop into that hole, see what you can learn from it, clamber out and finish your draft.
You can edit a bad book, but not a blank page.
what you don’t realize is that it’s not a plot hole at all. It’s a hiding place for a massive plot twist. They’re easy to mix up at first
(Slams the table) OooooooOOOOOh!!

René Descartes: *thinks*
René Descartes:
i taught swim lessons and preschool, do y’all wanna hear the most ridiculous white kid names i’ve ever seen?
- i’ve met at least a dozen children named some form of “jackson” but the best ones were “jaxon” and “jakson”
- a parent who i really liked named her son “jaycob” because she was worried people wouldn’t pronounce it correctly. when someone accidentally spelled it “jacob” she would loudly and obnoxiously ask “WHO’S JAH-KOBE?”
- two siblings named “thor” and “tiara”
- i once had a classroom with four girls named “brooklyn”
- if you sent me a list of popular boy names, i could guarantee i’ve met every single one of them
- twin girls named paisley and brinley
- a girl named reader
- a boy named rocko
- keighleey
- kayde
- kolten
- if it can start with a “k” instead of a “c” i have met that child
- brittalynn
- i taught a swim class with three girls named “london” but only one of them was spelled “lundon” and i know my boss did that to me on purpose
- a couple named all their kids after places in arizona: tatum, payson, and hayden
- and speaking of hayden, i’ve seen: haydon, heighden, and heydon
- according to some white people, there are sixteen different ways to spell mckenzie
- lakelyn, blakelynn
this is white culture
I had a student named Branch.
I once had pair of siblings named Hunter and Tanner. I really wanted them to have a sister named Fawn.
I had a Clark and Ophelia that were a bit unusual in the naming department.
And I had every single imaginable version of a girl’s name staring with “Mad-“ and every single imaginable version of a boy’s name ending in “-aden”
Mom’s a teacher. So far her best/worst white kid names:
- “Damion with a Y” according to the parent. Daymion? Damyon? Nope. Damiony. The Y is silent, said parent
- A girl named Free. Maybe not that bad on its own, but the girl’s last name was Love
- A boy named Calup because his mom couldn’t spell Caleb
the y is silenty
Okay so this Friday is Friday the 13th, a full moon AND the 50th anniversary of Scooby Doo.
I’m going to go harder than I’ve ever gone before. It is my time.
Saturday is the Harvest Moon! Watch out for cat creatures!
