I'll make a better post bout it later but from here on out I'd rather not have minors interacting with me. Ones already following are fine. But I've had a surge of people under 18 following me and I'd rather not. Not like I post super adult stuff but just a personal preference. Thank you! ✨️

overthinking again and depressing myself. it's probably PMS but it sucks and I wish I could be dumb and callous and mean sometimes so I don't feel like this

Okay but I was going to be annoyed about the lack of Barney in the most recent episode but the reasoning they gave more than made up for it. He's such a sweetheart!!!!! And burping in Spanish, of course! I'll forgive Moe for calling his bf a jerk. I hope they'll do that more often, just give him a funny aside instead of phasing him out entirely if you don't know what to do with him!!

the rubber duck

For anyone curious what they mean by the rubber duck, rubber duck debugging is a tactic used by programmers to figure out bugs in the code. To do it, they explain the code, verbally, line by line, to the rubber duck until they find it. 

It’s also very useful for writers, and I’ve used it multiple times with rubber ducks, stuffed animals, and my friends.

I literally cannot count the number of times I’ve gone to someone and told them ‘I can’t figure out what’s wrong with my story, please let me explain it to you’ and that was all it took. Sometimes they ask helpful questions like ‘did you remember to feed them’ or ‘so is this all on the same day’ but other times I don’t even need that, it just figures itself out as soon as I try to explain it to someone else.

It’s one of my go-to pieces of writing advice. You’re stuck on your story? sit down and tell me/someone all about it.
