I prefer Tumblr 2020 over Twitter if only that people here can have an honest-to-God debate about guro ethics, social welfare, war crimes, healthcare, world politics and eugenics, and not one of those blogs are worried about a brandname checkmark raining social media hellfire, instantly banning all previous content and discussion at the whim of a report.
Thanks for being the internet wildwest we deserve, now bring back the porn.
I just saw a writing advice post abt the âshow donât tellâ thing and it was good at first but then it deadass turned âthe sun rose over the cityâ into âYellow light spilled over the streets, soaking the grit from the rainbow puddles into the air.â but even longer and Iâm just gonna say it right off the bat, sometimes you donât need more words. Sometimes you can just say â[x] felt [y]â straight up and spare your reader from having to skip over your sudden need to jack off to your own vocabulary
the annoying thing about adhd is that like, most of the symptoms you canât even argue are âevolutionary flawsâ or âchemical imbalances.â literally itâs just that itâs not good for lining somebody elseâs pockets. being âdistractibleâ helps people notice predators or juicy berries out of the corners of their eyes. hyperfocusing on a task until itâs done is literally exactly in line with what an alleged persistence predator would need to do to actually follow through on hunting other animals. thereâs so many little things that are obviously beneficial to have outside of a fucking factory assembly line
