BOY ANACHRONISM

Writing a novel when you imagine all you stories in film format is hard because there’s really no written equivalent of “lens flare” or “slow motion montage backed by Gregorian choir”

Damn I made relatable reblog- bait post and writer Tumblr went hard with it. This is legitimately very good advice. 

For more neat tricks (aka figures of rhetoric) like epizeuxis and anaphora, read THE ELEMENTS OF ELOQUENCE by Mark Forsyth. It’s both educational and delightful, not to mention overflowing with wry wit. Great book. 

i love having friends who can communicate like adults it's so cool

I hope everyone involved in the design, manufacture, sale, implementation, installation, and use of flock cameras gets grabbed by the devil and taken to Hell without dying like Reverse Enoch

People who destroy traffic light cameras should be hoisted up on the shoulders of the crowd and acclaimed in triumph like ancient heroes

a surprising number of people see the term "social construct" and think that it means something is not real when it actually means something is so very real because it was created by us and is constantly enforced, often violently

i bet it feels good as fuck to intend to do something and then actually do it

there's an old anne rice interview circulating on twitter rn that i remember reading ages ago where she makes a pretty salient point about how submissive men who have bdsm fantasies etc will go to a sex worker and basically order the ala carte version of their fantasy to be performed in real life but women don't really have that same option and certainly not at the same point of availability so they read her horny books instead. and honestly that argument has been in the back of my mind every time people get on their high horses about the popularity of booktok romantasy novels or heated rivalry or whatever the "women are horny and we're upset about that" cultural property du jour is ever since. women, especially straight women, have so few outlets for their sexual desires, especially if they have a partner who doesn't share them, and i will never understand why "someone ELSE'S private sexual fantasy makes me uncomfortable and therefore they should not be allowed to engage with it, even if i am in no way being affected by it or even aware of it at all" is such a popular party line among allegedly progressive young people.

Ive been so back from overs that were so that you couldnt fathom

of course youll get tired of doing the same thing 8+ hours a day every day for the rest of your life for monetary gain, even if it’s something bearable. that’s why it doesn’t matter if you follow your dreams or not. of course whatever you do for 8+ hours a day every day for the rest of your life for monetary gain will inevitably become a part of you. thats why its import to follow your dreams. of course you won’t be able to make enough money or build a life either way. what are you. some sort of alive being

oh and you have to learn to weaponize “thank you for your understanding”. which means “there is nothing you can do about this so accept it”
