I ain't a wimp when I get writers block I STRESS ABOUT IT FOR A WEEK STRAIGHT, and not to ChatGPT like a coward. I face writers block like a man, laying in bed hours crying.

There’s a spider in the corner of your window. Her name is Astrid. She’s saved you from contracting West Nile Virus in your sleep at least twice and is very proud of that fact. She knows this because those mosquitos taste a lil spicy.

Hey.

Don't post online about what protests you plan to attend.

Be safe. Be smart. Don't fall for the weird pressure to liveblog political actions when we live in a surveillance state.

And for fuck's sake, stop posting unredacted pictures of people at protests. It's not a fucking party. It's a political action and you could get someone killed. I have a personal friend who was doxxed and harassed for MONTHS in 2020 after their photo at a protest got passed around by neonazis. Do not be a part of that happening to someone.

The thing I dislike about alt histories where real life monarchs have been made both gay and unproblematic is that it seems to imply that gay monarchs have not existed in history but if they did they would be cool. Which isn’t true. They have existed and they were just as bad as straight people. And I think it is disrespectful to real queer history to pretend that queer people have never been absolute bastards

in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

  • is it SINCERE
  • was it CATHARTIC
  • was it FUN TO MAKE
  • is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly

its awesome theres a vampire on sesame street because you need to introduce children to the concept as early as possible

Support this small artist by donating to the fund to bring their deported father home:

Additionally, here is their gofundme:

Please note that I am not affiliated with this creator, I do not know them or their family. I just think that in a time this volatile, they have a very sympathetic cause to support. I hope they are able to raise what they need to bring him home and get the documents they need to keep him home.

UPDATE

The creator has raised the goal amount! According to their YouTube page, their dad is safe in Mexico and they are working on getting him home.

You can survive almost anything through the right combination of:

  1. Bitching and moaning
  2. Hater-ology
  3. Doing a goofy little bit about it
  4. Having a buddy say "that's so fucked up" at intermittent points (you can also be your own buddy)
  5. Destroying the cursed amulet you carry everywhere, why do you even have that thing

reminder that 30 isn’t old, it’s very normal to not accomplish everything in your 20s, and that it is never too late to learn that thing you’ve always wanted to learn. you’re always growing. that’s a good thing.

Who the hell accomplishes everything in their 20s? Who made that a thing?

I was 48 when I started my apprenticeship to become a tattoo artist. I was 50 when I married the love of my life.

You’ve got time.

I needed this right now. I’ve got time!!!

To anyone who needs to hear this, my aunt called my mom last year in tears and, as she talked about how things are going, she admitted that she didn’t know she could be so happy, and she didn’t know how good life could be.

She is 72. After a very rough go of things, she is now with someone who cherishes her (met him three years ago!), goes on bucket-list road trips multiple times a year, founded two nonprofits to help people who have been through similar struggles, and feels fulfilled.

30 isn’t too late. Neither is 40, nor 50, nor even 70.
