Writing Caty

well maybe you should blearily wake up at 5:08 in the pre-dawn light and find the sleeping soft tiny mammal body of your cat just inches from your head like a miracle too beautiful for speech, and you should rustle one hand out from your blankets to rub fingertip circles across the warm eggshell dome of her little velvet-wrapped skull and on the bristly patches just where the cups of her ears begin, and as she inclines her head into your fingers and purrs without ever opening her little eyes you should feel a love so tender that you understand how that love could have reached out from the fireside into the inky spangled nights long gone to reach her, and then you'll feel better

if you’re not paying attention to trees and how they sway in the wind then what are you even doing

you should get a second evening for reading fan fiction. And you should get an extra day in the week to do arts and crafts.

I like when there is a series of animals doing similar behavior and one of them is our good friend Household Cat.

"we live in an uncaring universe." sorry the special planet full of beauty and animals and food literally growing out of the ground isnt good enough for you. i guess

anyway you should always remember that all those foreigners you see dying on the news are just as real people as you are who have just as much interiority as you do. there is nothing about you that makes you more important and it is by pure chance that you are not in their position. in fact, this holds for all of history. every person, no matter the horror of the fate that befell them, had just as much interiority as you do. i feel like some people haven't fully internalized this.

writing is just sitting in front of a computer and making up problems for imaginary people while ignoring your own. fun and casual hobby.

I feel like more people need to understand that other people can be aware of political news and be taking political action without posting about it or talking to you about it, "why is nobody talking about X", "fascinating how so many people are silent about Y" idk I don't use social media to have nuanced political discussions and share political news

the best blogs are the ones where 1 girl talks to herself constantly

everybody needs to read more. read all the time. read every day. read read read

some of yall need to go back to like preschool level 'girls can do anything boys can do' feminism bc we are regressing into feminine = frivolous = weak = nurturing and masculine = power = force = competence at the speed of fucking light
