writing tip:
if you push buttons on a keyboard, letters will appear on the screen. and with that power you can do anything
Fantasy, sci-fi, and fanfiction writing | any pronouns | call me waltz

As someone who has been on the Internet longer than many of you have been alive, I cannot emphasise enough what a good idea it is to block fools, bores, and drama-starters ON SIGHT. That means, on the FIRST sight. See the take, do not wait.
You are not a court of law. You are not required to hear them out, argue, nor give them a second chance. Block them. Nothing bad will happen to them without you! It's fine! Goodbye forever! Prevention is better than cure.
My fellow aunties will be with me on this.
Today is a good day. A trans girl is trying on a skirt for the first time. She is growing out her hair and toying with a new name and asking her friends to try out she/her pronouns for her. It’s always a good day when the world gains a new trans girl. Remember this.
And a trans guy is cutting his hair. He is toying with a new name and asking his friends to try out he/him pronouns for him.
It’s always a good day when the world gains a new trans guy. A new trans person. Remember this
and a nonbinary is messing with their hair. They are toying with a new name and asking their friends to try out they/them pronouns for them.
It’s always a good day when the world gains a new nonbinary. Remember this.
and a xenogender is messing with thier hair. Xi is toying with a new name and asking thier friends to use xi/zem/zir pronouns for zem.
Its always a good day when the world gains a new xenogender. Remember this.
Having confidence in your writing abilities is just as much a skill you need to cultivate as actually writing is.
It's normal to doubt yourself, it's just important to learn how to look past your doubts and recognize that letting yourself worry about the possibility that your writing sucks will never make you a better writer. The only thing that will make you a better writer is writing, so stop worrying about whether you're any good and WRITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think u should start writing your original story btw. I want to read it.
addition: I understand wanting to wait until things feel Right to write. but as someone who also contends with adhd and The Situations there is not going to be a time where it magically feels perfect to write. "I'll do it someday / later / when..." is an endless delay. you've gotta crack open a document and write something even if it sucks ass because if you don't get your brain used to the habit it's not gonna stick. the time you can start is Now.
A group of queers of all types is a pride
A group of aces is a deck
A group of aros is a quiver
A group of trans women is a code-camp
A group of enbies is a byte
A group of bi people is a tandem
A group of pan people is a panic
Thank you for coming to my wilderness documentary
Nearly blocked someone for a vaguely annoying reply they made in 2017 then remembered 2017 was 9 years ago. They will live. We can change *opens their blog* nevermind they got worse. Guards
the argument goes "AI doesnt create new problems it just massively exacerbates problems that already existed for long before!!" like yeah?? that is also bad??? "machine of heres all your previous problems multiplied by 10000" also not good!! i think the problems multiplying machine is horrible even if all the problems were already here before
yeah people were lying and making bots to post content online and stealing stuff and making things up and plagiarizing and putting out slop and surveilling people and bombing civilians and rejecting insurance claims and exploiting labor thru infernal contracture and wage theft and so on and so on and so on but the fact that with AI you can do all that but a million times more is super fuckin bad idk
bbefore generative AI was loosed on the public, My mom did not have the ability to make AI deepfake videos and photos, but now she and every other random person on Facebook can do that without any oversight or consequences.
This is in fact a new problem.
“Creative people have trouble recognising their skills as skills, because eventually they feel like second nature. This stuff really is valuable, if it wasn’t, people wouldn’t be stealing it. Creativity doesn’t feel special or unique until you realise people have to plagiarise it.”
