Be Most Excellent To Each Other

I am going to be a very brave adult human woman and go into my basement to change over the laundry from the washer to the dryer. I shall report back when my mission is complete.

towels retrieved and folded, last wash load for the evening (there is always so much laundry backlog) now in the dryer.

I’m an omnivore but a hot take of mine (albeit not a hill I will die on) is that it was counterproductive to turn vegetarian/vegan into strict identities and shame anyone vegetarian-adjacent who eats meat once in a while as weak-willed or a hypocrite. I think someone who has a pork dumpling every now and then still exhibits discipline and has more in common with a vegetarian than someone who eats steak and bacon every day and turning reducing meat into an all-or-nothing thing just discourages people

one of my coworkers has a sign up that usually says “SEE THE GOOD” but earlier this week the “GOOD” fell off and the spacing is really weird so every day when i get off the elevator i run into this sign that looks like it just says “SEETHE” and it’s like. yeah man. we’re at work. i WILL seethe, thanks.

“So this fic has been abandoned but you should read it anyways because…” hold up. Have you not been reading all promising fics regardless of completion this entire time

Today I learned that an alarming number of yall are filtering fic by “completed works only” which is WILD to me because some of the best shit I ever read was incomplete. Just like how some of the best friendships fade, the best experiences end, the best partners pass away before you’re ready. Nobody wants good things to end but they do and that doesn’t make them less meaningful. And sometimes a tree must be nurtured before it can grow
