You have to rest in your own desire to create.

But, because I see statements like this turn into a sort of general notion of “it’s bad to want validation or attention or engagement”, and to me, that’s not what this means.

It’s perfectly valid to want people to like and engage with what you create. In a general sense, when you create anything, you do it to share with other human beings. Art, craft, food, anything you create is a way to connect with others through our shared humanity.

And wanting someone to like you fanart or read your fanfic is part of that.

And I'm not talking normal stuff like being overly ambition, or lack of planning, not finishings

Tell me the stupid stuff.

look at her!! she is so cute!!! i want to cry!!!!

The 18th-century witnessed a strange proliferation of sea-themed pulpits across Central Europe:

:looks inside:

Trans men are asking to be included in discussions about abortion access, where they, transmascs, and enbies are THE most vulnerable group.

Trans men from the global south are talking about their specific vulnerabilities and the horrific violence they face.

Trans men are asking the rest of the community to please care more about the fact that their hormones are a controlled drug and their identities are already on a controlled drug registry that can be very easily cross-referenced with agab to Pick Out The Trannies.

Trans men are talking about how TMOC have been specifically targeted for sexual & physical harrassment because of their transmasculinitiy in detention centres.

Trans men are asking the queer community to stop claiming they have made 'no historical contributions' when 1) they have, and 2) they have been violently erased, institutionalised, and forced into marriage throughout history, and even those lucky few who went stealth were often discovered through forcible outing.

Trans men are begging the queer community to stop spreading transphobic lies that predatorjacket them as dangerous, violent rapists.

Trans men are mentioning that they are often ENTIRELY banned from playing on men's OR women's high-level sport teams, because those teams are allowed to 'make their own decisions' on whether to permit them while using a banned steroid, which usually, you guessed it, means they can't compete.

July 15, 2026 - Activist group "Everyone Hates Elon" installed a guerrilla ad parodying Meta's advertisement campaign for its dystopian surveillance glasses for perverts and stalkers, near Meta's London headquarters.

The lenticular poster changes Kylie Jenner to a They Live style monster with Meta's true message: "WE'RE ALWAYS WATCHING". [link]
