First you procrastinate on the task because it is not a big enough deal to get done urgently. Then you procrastinate on the task because it has become such a big deal that doing it is overwhelming. You would think that this implies a middle point where it is just big enough of a deal to get done easily, however the inherent perversity of the universe's causal geometry prevents this

saw a grown woman on tiktok snidely calling gen z the christopher columbus generation bc someone’s fifteen year old son ‘thought he’d discovered weezer’. newsflash every generation finds out about the music of the previous generation at some point it comes free with being fifteen. being annoying about music also comes free with being fifteen. a kid saying yeah i’ve just found this band nirvana have you ever heard of them should be a thing of joy

#i get soooo excited whenever i see kids and teens start to learn about pop culture like this #i love it #bc it means so much that they're growing up #and discovering things #and experimenting #and have developed this really precious skill of joyful learning

Now a Pulitzer Prize winning book (don’t fact check this, just trust me)

You should be reading Nobody Ends Up Dead in a Bathtub, Everyone Keeps Their Organs! Why? See above.

It’s a good story if I do say so myself. And if you read it, you’re a cool kid. Don’t you want to be a cool kid? This is something called peer pressure, and it usually works.

But for real, if you read Nobody Ends Up Dead then you’re going to go on a good adventure with good characters I guarantee you will love. Not to brag, but it is a pretty good story. There’s funny one-liners, a cute plot, and relatable characters that have been developed for years. Just heed warnings at the beginning of chapters. NEUD deals with some heavy topics such as eating disorders.

NEUD updates every Friday! OR it’s entirely available right now–start to finish–on Patreon for only $4.

Honestly this goes for every facet of life. Your anxiety can quickly quiet itself if you start being more generous and kind to other people.

If you stop gossiping you don't really feel like others might be talking about you behind your back. If you stop judging outfits of strangers you're more likely to wear that dress you've had in your closet for a year or wear that lipstick that's about to expire in your bag.

If you confront your own toxicity, you can start making peace with your own existence.

I think if you're concerned with how your writing is going to be perceived than the best place to start is to think about how you view other people's writing

if you're overly-harsh with books--if you deem things problematic and unproblematic on a whim, if you criticize drama, if you analyze them to make them sound as awful as possible, if you write off entire authors or books based on what someone told you--

you are going to believe that the whole world thinks like that

if you think that it's normal behavior to tear someone else's writing to shreds, you are going to believe that you are vulnerable the same treatment because you've convinced yourself that this is how the world works

and the reality is--most people who come across books they don't like or disagree with will just put it down and forget about it in a few months. you will not really matter to people who don't like what you wrote

even if we talk about the more extreme side of things and look at book bannings and challenges, it's not even that the general consensus around books have changed. it's small groups of people doing a lot of bad work. you will find more uptight people who still don't support censorship than you'll find people who want to wipe out libraries and school collections (not to say that that isn't scary or wrong)

people aren't mean by default. if you think there's any overwhelming amount of people out there looking for things to hate on--you need to take a good look at the people you're around because you might have just surrounded yourself with the wrong people
