Rest for the weary, right this way. It's a personal favourite of mine.

I hope you found what you were looking for!

Okay, not to be overdramatic but this is one of those things that makes me feel so in awe and in love with people. OP spent their time making this?? And it's delightful?? And full of compassion and curiosity about strangers on a hellsite. Take what you need, take a breath, enjoy this shared moment of human experience. I did. 💜

Over the last month and a half, Our Flag Means Death has consumed my brain, given me new internet boyfriends, and finally kicked me out of my creative slump. Every stitch of this piece was made with the kind of joy I haven’t felt as a maker in years, I’m just so happy!

There’s a tumblr post floating around somewhere that says “We think that if we get better at writing, it will someday stop sounding like we wrote it” or something along those lines.

Does anyone happen to have a link handy? I want to reference it in an advice post.

Was it this one? 🤗

Yes, thank you so much!!!!!

[ID: a tweet by elicia donze that reads “People hate their own art because it looks like they made it. They think if they get better, it will stop looking like they made it. A better person made it. But there’s no level of skill beyond which you stop being you. You hate the most valuable thing about your art. /end ID]

the universal experience

“So I hear you want to free Britney, and I just want to tell you, um, welcome to the disability revolution. We are so glad you’re here! Do you think it’s wild that she couldn’t remove her IUD? Well, it is still currently completely legal to sterilize women with disabilities. Under law. Do you think it’s bananas that Britney couldn’t even see her children? Well, it’s not uncommon at all. In fact, mothers with disabilities face removal rates up to 40 to 80 percent. ‘I can’t believe she couldn’t even see her own boyfriend?’ This happens all the time. It is very common for families of people with disabilities to control their relationships for them. That’s why many people with disabilities can’t actually marry. Because they can lose their benefits and their healthcare. It’s also completely legal to electroshock children, um, if they have have a disability. So, yes. Free Britney. But let’s also free everybody else. And let’s follow the lead of the disability rights movement, who has been shouting and fighting against these injustices for decades.”

This is so important. On Twitter some verified account was tweeting “can you IMAGINE a MAN getting treated like this? ME NEITHER.” and one person replied “disabled men, yes. all the time.” and they got shut down lol

y’all really recommend books like: title, there are gay characters, enemies to lovers, young adult, written by poc

not once do i ever see a summary

What more info do you need?

A SUMMARY

WHAT DO U MENA SUMMARY WHAT ELSE MATTERS ITS GAY POC AND ENEMIES TO LOVERS HOW OFTEN DO U CONE ACROSS THAT

i want to know what its about mainly. is it a romance? is there plot besides the romance? is it realistic fiction? sci fi? fantasy? historical? future? alternate history? whats the tone? what are the themes? what are the main characters’ NAMES?

I- it’s gay the gay

i value queer characters too. but i also want to know WHAT THE BOOK I’M READING IS ABOUT.

“GAY AND/OR RACIALLY DIVERSE” IS NOT A GENRE. nor is it an indicator of quality

do you know how many times I’ve been recommended a book solely because “it’s queer fantasy!”

do you know how many times those books have been so poorly written that I couldn’t finish them

Mostly, I want to know the tone. A 19th century war story isn’t gonna do it for me when I’m in the mood for a lighthearted austenesque romance - and those are both historical. A star warsy space romp isn’t gonna do it if I want to read about interplanetary political negotiations - and those are both sci fi. A fun gratuitious don’t-think-about-it-too-hard action story is not the same as a dark and complicated mob drama. A suspenseful thriller will bore me if I’m looking for a fast paced spy novel.

not providing a summary literally just shows how you treat marginalized people and their representation as this token woke thing that you can show off like a shiny trophy. no, people aren’t going to read something just because it has representation! that’s not how it works!

This is how people can hand you shit on a platter if they know the only requirement to get you to purchase their book is hitting a few character qualities and tropes

has this been done
