i hate when ppl complain abt hot glue guns like sorry u havent gotten to know ur beast. its like a horse you have to have a bond and work together
honestly being bonded to my hot glue gun is 90% of the problem
I touch the chair and it starts vibrating violently and smack me in the face and I ragdoll to the other side of the room
there must be a better place you could be doing that

If the ocean ever disappears DONT GO LOOKING FOR IT… go in the other direction
i know this sounds like a shitpost but isn’t this like, real advice regarding tsunamis
Yes this was about hurricane Irma it is not a shitpost
This is actually really good advice so let me elaborate a bit: if you notice the tide is retreating very quickly at a very odd time of day, get as far away from water and as high up as you can. I live along the ocean and a long time ago we had a small tsunami and a relative of mine tells me how her father saw the tides retreating so he just picked her up and just ran, which probably saved their lives.
So yeah DONT LOOK FOR THE MISSING OCEAN just run away
ocean not lost, ocean is actually winding up to kick you very hard in the nuts.
Whole-heartedly BEGGING writers to unlearn everything schools taught you about how long a paragraph is. If theres a new subject, INCLUDING ACTIONS, theres a new paragraph. A paragraph can be a single word too btw stop making things unreadable
Ok So I’m getting more notes than I thought quicker than I expected! So I’m gonna elaborate bc I want to.
I get it, when you’re someone who writes a lot and talks a lot, it’s hard to keep things readable, but it’s not as much about cutting out the fat(that can be a problem) so much as a formatting issue.
You are also actively NERFING yourself by not formatting it correctly, it can make impactful scenes feel so, so much better. Compare this,
To THIS.
Easier to read, and hits harder.
No more over-saturated paragraphs. Space things out.
@s1ld3n4f1l WAIT WAIT WAIT SO TRUE LITERALLY LITERALLY
Yes, please!
I've been reading a new (to me) writer in a fandom that I'm newish to, and I desperately love their work, but they do tend to make very chunky paragraphs.
Not to the point of wall-of-text, but just to the point that my ADHD brain starts skimming to the next break.
Which is a very good way to miss important details and context.
I don't know that there's any good way to let an author know how difficult it is for people with my disability to read their work. So I never bring it up in comments.
But, damn, I'm sure I've missed out on good stuff in fics because my brain just couldn't parse the long paras, not to mention the fics I've straight up noped out of because I could tell it was going to be too hard at the time to be enjoyable.
Which is a very

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
okay so like- I saw this post and actually did it and my writing looks so much better now-
I started doing it about a quarter of the way through one of the fics I was writing and I can actually see the switch over
it looks nicer and easier to read
thank you op
It also seems to me that, for one reason or another, shorter paragraphs are needed in 1) works to be read natively on screens rather than on paper; 2) fiction as opposed to non-fiction.
Interestingly, newspaper paragraphs are extremely often just one sentence.
The longer I live the more I realize I just wanna be well fed and bottom nude all the time

Fuck all the studios hoping that ignoring the WGA strike will make all these pesky creatives just go away so they can continue to devalue and automate creative labour, but ESPECIALLY FUCK ZASLAV.
Fuck that guy.
I am OBSESSED with people telling me how they met the love of their life. Just found out my director met his wife through a misdirected email - that’s fate right there.
“I saw her last name was Jewish - and I’m Jewish, so when I corrected the email I told her Shabbat Shalom with a smiley face — this was the very beginning of the emoticon era, you understand. She had a watermark of a dog rescue at the bottom of her email, and I love dogs, so I found her website and there she was — all these videos of her rehabilitating dogs and talking about the organization. I fell in love with her just from those videos.”
😭😭😭
“I asked if we could meet for coffee, told her I was looking for volunteer opportunities — which was halfway a lie — and she said ‘okay, but just so you know I have a boyfriend, so this is strictly business,’ and I was so disappointed, but I did want to meet her. We sat in that coffeeshop until they turned the lights out on us, and she broke up with her boyfriend the next day.”
MULTIPLE people in the notes have told me how important these tags are to them so here’s to keeping it in the main post.
HEY PHOENIX-AREA TUMBLRITES
Do you want a cat?
Meet Marmalade.
Marmalade was rescued last week from a park near my job. He was dehydrated and starving, and literally hopped in my car of his own accord to get the hell out of there.
A vet visit has determined he’s roughly a year old, healthy, and unneutered. He’s both super-cuddly and playful, and has approximately as many brain cells as his fur color would lead you to expect.
Alas, if my landlord found out we had a fourth cat, we’d promptly get evicted. And so I turn to you, Arizonans of Tumblr, to find this darling boy a forever home. I’ll be crossposting this to my Facebook, but I have significantly more reach here, so please help me find his forever family!
Jumping in your car all on his own indicates the presence of at least 3 active brain cells, on the high side for such a fine orange boy.
@ arizona and hinterlands folks (SoCal, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado) this cat may be local enough for you! Big western states' residents' sense of scale is broken!
@ OP unsolicited advice which might or might not be relevant to you presented pressure free and with hope that *someone* benefits from seeing it.
my family has been in this kind of situation before (with matching dogs) and have had success buying time by sincerely gaslighting the landlord. ("I don't know what you're talking about/where'd you got that stupidass idea/the thing the neighbor says they saw is literally a stuffed lion, chill out/We know the rules/do you seriously think we'd jeopardize our home for a random cat? FFS you should know better." Helps if you have a cis man on hand to get a little aggressive and a lot offended about it.)
OP's roommate here. We're already over the cat limit by one, but they're all gray so.
We simply cannot afford a fourth cat.
Yep. We’re already gaslighting the landlord. Of course that’s not two short haired cats. It’s one. You just saw him in a funny light, that’s all.
Also of concern is that two of ours have active feline herpesvirus (the third is immune). While this isn’t a fatal disease by any means—it’s the cat version of the herpes that gives you cold sores—we don’t want to spread it needlessly to another cat. So it’s also in Marmalade’s best interest healthwise to be in a different forever home. He’s currently quarantined to my bedroom and bathroom, but it’s simply not fair to ask him to do that long term.
If you are going to have literally no criteria for being queer, then how can you say that anyone isn't? How can you refer to any person in any context as cis/straight?
If someone tells me they’re queer I believe them. If someone tells me they’re straight I believe them. This isn’t that hard
What so like a cis het allo person can just call themselves queer now?
What problem, exactly, are you so concerned about? I don’t know if you’ve noticed but queerness is still very much marginalized, it’s not as “trendy” as people try to act, and straight people aren’t tripping over themselves to call themselves queer. And if you’re worried about being “tricked” by “infiltrators”, like, you know those people can just say that they’re gay? Like they can lie? They’re not going to try and “sabotage” queer spaces by saying “hey I don’t have any marginalized orientations or identities but I’m still totally queer”, they’d just say “hey I’m super gay, love people of the same gender”
What, concretely, are you worried about happening? What’s the worst thing that could happen due to inclusivity? Because the worst things that can happen due to gatekeeping are very well-known, and I’m much more scared of that
It’s less that it’s trendy and more like, I like having my queer-only spaces. Also queer is a bad word. All our words are bad words. They aren’t oppressed, and for a cishetallo to use a slur as their identity feels a little demeaning to me. Like I dont hate them of course but the A was never for Ally . It’s not queer to be normal
Interacting with them is cool and having them at pride I’m not opposed to but as a person who’s queer it does feel like they’re kinda dressing it up
Im gonna be honest Ive never seen people like that but like, I’m allowed to not like it
I’m not going to distrust and exclude people because of a problem you made up. If someone tells me they’re queer, I believe them
