A family member of mine is in a lot of pain and it's killing me to watch. They have a disability with their spine and desperately need a new mattress because the one they're sleeping on now is really hurting their back it's the worst mattress ever just a bunch of springs
I need to help them get a new one and mattresses are expensive so please if anyone could help out it would save their life and we would greatly appreciate it 💕
Anything would help! My goal is to hit $1,899 so a little would go a long way
This is my pay pal -> donate
If you could reblog this, that would be appreciated too!
You guys are so kind you're gonna make me cry!!
We're already a quarter of the way there!!
$460/1,899
Please share!!
To everyone who has generously donated so far thank you SO MUCH!! It's honestly bringing me to tears how far we've come in just a day!!
And to everyone who's given advice for where to get mattresses, thank you as well, I am aiming to get them a mattress to specifically help with their disability
$553/1,899
i hate how you get desensitized to the cool stuff in your WIP if you've been writing it for a long time so when you read back over it you're like "this isn't as cool as i thought :(" but it still is! you just read it too many times
Gotta recirculate this post periodically just cuz
Just don't read the post too many times.
Oh god oh fuck
this applies to academic stuff as well! your research is amazing!!
floating down the river styx on an inflatable donut and high-fiving all the lost souls i pass. i’m on vacation
my dad took some ancestry tests and eventually found out who his father was (and that he has 5+ siblings who are also finding all of this out) and honestly it's been pretty bizarre and emotional so far, naturally
but one of the biggest changes for me is no longer having to give the whole spiel of "oh i know i'm racially ambiguos but hey there's a whole story behind it because this that and here's my father's backstory"
like no i... i just have a grandpa from Nigeria now
...that's way less mysterious >:(
Creepiest monster thing alive: moves like that
this little girl: 😊☺️😄😄☺️😊🤩

tip: you can associate fictional characters with favorite songs. but watch out
[plaintext: tip: you can associate fictional characters with favorite songs. but watch out]
“Well it’s not just mainstream music, aren’t ALL songs about sex and relationships if you really think about it—“ Absolutely the fuck not. I just listened to a song about being buried alive and one about pirates battling a giant squid. Listen to more weird music immediately
One under-appreciated breed of fic writer are the ones who hyperfocus on logistics to the exclusion of all canon shortcuts, and thus usually strike upon an awesome way to flesh out the worldbuilding or characters.
Like, I’m not necessarily talking realism here since often it’s still pretty far from realistic, but more like, “someone has to be running spies in this fantasy kingdom, and we’ve seen the whole royal court, so which background character is it? How does that change these three major interactions?” Or “real life historical nobility did in fact have some things to do that were like jobs, how does this human disaster cope with running an estate?” Or “there’s no reason for a sci-fi robot detective to know how to whitewater kayak, where’d she learn?” Or “if this guy is serving the emperor directly he has to be way high up in the space empire servant hierarchy, why is he doing this menial task for someone else? What’s his motive? Does he perhaps have the secret space telepathy?”
Anyway I’m always DELIGHTED to find a fic or writer who asks these questions because the fics themselves are universally bangers.
person who knows how logistical things works has picked up the cannon, hefted it thoughtfully, and put a single chalk mark precisely on the problem.
