I’ve never understood why people get so caught up on if stories on the internet are true or not.

Obviously if it’s spreading misinformation, about a specific person, about a thing in the news, ect, that’s one thing

But just those funny stories? The ones that even if they’re made up are purely to entertain others and Maybe just for the writer to get a small dose of internet fame? Why do people get so upset or immediately claim it’s fake?

If you didn’t like it, move past it. If it doesn’t harm anyone then shut up and scroll. And if you did like it? Why question it at that point. You received what the post was trying to give you, Enjoyment. And the likelihood of you remembering that story enough for it to have a Huge impact on your life is minimal. So why do you care if it’s fake or not?

In that scenario both you and the poster get what you want. You get entertainment, the poster gets the happiness of being seen on the internet. Stop making something that could be purely good into something that leaves everyone upset.

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk

#Editortalks #rambles #let people live their lives #damn #being known on the internet is a great feeling #that’s like 90% of the reason I post #knowing that people know I exist #that people can hear my thoughts and think they matter #and if for some people that feeling comes from these little stories they made up?#I think that’s okay #entertainment #hot take #?

Deadline: March 1st – May 1st, 2024 Payment: $50 Theme: Writing that attempts to salvage something pure from the collision of warmth and cold, that says what it can about the world it finds itself in. A Note on Our Aesthetic We believe there is beauty in scars on smooth skin, in the small fissures where things begin to break apart. Sundogs are not the sun itself but phantom stars appearing on the horizon, illusions produced by the play of the sun’s heat with crystals of ice. They shed their light all the same. Many are tinged with color. We look for this same quality in poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. We want writing that attempts to salvage something pure from the collision of warmth and cold, that says what it can about the world it finds itself in. We seek a diversity of voices speaking from visceral, lived experience. We like truth we can stare at until our eyes water, words so carefully chosen we want to reread them as soon as we have finished. Schedule We publish two issues a year, September 1 and March 1. We accept general submissions for poetry, nonfiction, and fiction between two reading periods, and the first 300 submissions to each are free. We also run a collaborative writing contest in August. We also accept visual art all year. General Submissions: March 1 – May 1 General Submissions: October 1 – December 1 Collaboration Contest: July 15 – August 31 Payment We are thrilled to finally be able to say that, starting with issue 17, we will be able to offer our contributors a small payment of $50 upon publication. Practical Matters We are grateful to be a part of a literary community that is taking action against systemic racism. We will also be donating submission fees from our current reading period towards Black-led organizations and anti-racist collectives. In the next year, 25% of our submission fees will be donated, as well. Thank you in advance for helping us work together for change. The best way to know the preferences of our individual editors is to read the journal. Our genre editors also take over our Twitter from time to time to discuss work we’ve published and why. Check it out at #editortalk. Sundog Lit is serious about representing the literary scene and supporting diverse and underrepresented voices. We want to hear from women, people of color, queer and trans writers, and every community who pushes our world away from the oppressive status quo. This is our commitment to literature; hold us to that standard. One submission at a time, please. We happily accept simultaneous submissions, though please withdraw immediately if accepted elsewhere. If part of a packet submission, note the withdrawal in a note on Submittable. We do not consider previously published material nor do we accept email submissions. Please address your submission to the appropriate genre editor, and be mindful of correct pronoun usage in your cover letter. Genre Specifics Summer Collaboration Contest Writing doesn’t have to be a lonely business. Sometimes teamwork is what makes the dreamwork, so this summer we want to see what you’ve created with another writer (or two or three⁠ — there’s actually no limit) for our annual Collaboration Contest. Between July 15 and August 31, submit your wildest, most inventive work of any or mixed genre. Just keep your hybrid masterpiece to 1,000 words or less. Winners will receive a $300 prize and all the glories of publication. Refractions For our blog, we accept short-form work that fits a given topic or theme that asks you to see–and write about–familiar things differently. We want you to play with perspective. A little distortion, in our opinion, is a good thing. Please check Submittable for the current prompt, which we will change up on a quarterly basis. Fiction We want muscular prose, authenticity, and a real beating heart. Play with form and show us the humorous absurd. Submit short stories of no more than 3,000 words or up to 3 flash fictions of less than 750 words each in a single document.

Nonfiction We are cool with traditional personal essay, memoir, etc. We LOVE us some experimental, research-driven stuff. Segmented. Lyric. Essays written in a bowl of alphabet soup. Surprise us. Play with form and content. If you hybridize some poetry and nonfiction, send it our way. Submit a single piece of no more than 4,000 words or up to 3 flash essays of less than 1,000 words each in a single document. Poetry We want vivid, vibrant poetry. We like prose poems or straight poetry with prose elements. We like traditional poetry. Submit up to 3 poems in a single document. Visual Art We’re looking for beautiful, fascinating, devastating cover art for our upcoming issues. Submit up to 6 pieces at a time. Via: Sundog Literature.

I’ve been meaning to re-read the Alex Rider books for a while and two weeks ago I finally did. I’ve started making some spreadsheets to track various information and later do a comparison through the series. I’ll be sharing the information to the wiki when I’m done if they allow that sort of thing

#alex rider #am i allowed to tag this #i need more people to talk to about alex rider #editortalks

What if I started doing art for this account again? 🤭

I’ve gotten back into a Ben 10 kick, but I was also reminded that Alexmis exists... and there’s also Tangled and Generator Rex. Difficult decisions. There’s just so much drawing to catch up on

I wish tumblr had a poll function like Instagram or Twitter

Now I'm curious! Have you ever drawn a rat /mice? Also sorry if you did and I forgot, my memory is lagging :')

Sorry for such a late reply! I haven’t drawn them before, but I did a few quick doodles!
