Same people who have donated more than $ 13 million to Trump, who actively defunds public land trusts and national park services that keep these places from becoming luxury condos or data centers.

"Connectedness to nature" while poisoning the land and actively contributing to the displacement of other bald eagles and disrupting ecosystems that dont have the pleasure of being internet famous. Its just sick and they should feel ASHAMED. They should spend the rest of their lives begging for the forgiveness of others and dismantle their own company if they care so badly about saving 1 pair of bald eagles.

make friends with artists. commission somebody. learn to draw yourself. ask for a beta read. try a writing partnership. fandom spaces are communities, so engage with them! it is about the journey and the fact that we all love something enough to create and build together about that thing.

I entered a fiction contest with my novel in which a male vampire grapples with guilt over leaving his family for immortality by becoming a better parent to his orphaned human assistant. He can't undo his past actions but he learns.

The contest feedback said: "What if his original wife and child were murdered instead and he has to get revenge on their killer."

No! That's not the story! That absolves him of wrongdoing and ends his wife's story with her death.

My way leaves room for adult relationships that are messy and complicated, not just a man inflicting violence because of violence done to a woman. In my version, the man grows as a result of the plot, which is unrelated to his original sin of being kindof a dick. My way leaves open the possibility that the woman in it has a whole other life, separate from the man and his terrible choices.

Bodily autonomy (like abortion, anti draft, etc) -> “The government shouldn’t be able to force anything on my body I don’t want.”

Anti surveillance -> “I don’t trust big government/big tech (big brother if you’re feeling frisky) with the ability to spy on me and my family.”

Immigration -> “Next to all of us immigrated at some point, I don’t see why the elites get to decide who’s allowed to be where. What’s to stop them coming for me?”

Climate Change -> “Big oil shouldn’t get to determine whether or not I get to go places. I don’t want to be dependent on some big business to survive.”

State Violence -> “I don’t want the goddamn secret police breathing down my neck! I trust my community a whole hell of a lot more to help me than I do the state!”

give them a variety of exes. give them relationships that shaped who they are but did not last. give them people they tried very hard to love but it didn't work out. give them situationships that taught them things. give them something deep that was real but could not endure. things that hurt. things that ended amicably. people with whom hot passion cooled to warm affection and became undying friendship.

Think about it. Gods are fueled in part by mortal belief and prayer so Gods need to cultivate widespread mortal civilizations to maximize their following and thus their power. But the longer a mortal civilization goes on and the more advanced it gets the greater the possibility that one or more mortals will catch a case of the Old Hubris Shudders and take a swing at usurping the Gods, dethroning the Gods, banishing the Gods and cutting off their access to the Prime Material, or otherwise table flipping the divine balance of power.

If you're a divine being that's bad, so what do you do? You employ the good old Tower of Babble strat. Frequently.

Mortal societies getting the magic-tech version industrialized and starting to question the infallibility of their agricultural pastroalist deities? Wide spread famine will fix that right up. Elves building a continent spanning empire and the Emperor starting to crave immortality and worship like a god? Smiting the Emperor is a Standard Action and toppling his Empire with a rain of jaguars is a Bonus Action. A particularly rowdy group of wizards start planning to raise their city into the heavens where they might potentially be a threat? Turning all the wizards into undead and punting the tower into the Underdark for good measure nips that problem right in the bud AND creates a fun dungeon location for some mid level adventurers in a few centuries.
