Sunny, but just as in name

the thing about "birds are dinosaurs" is it forces people to confront the idea of dinosaurs as like a part of natural history, a biological animal clade that really for real lived and breathed and were sometimes strange and sometimes small and sometimes peaceful and sometimes ugly, and not as Cool Monsters or a metaphor for Progress. and people don't like that. they say no, actually, when i use dinosaur i mean "weird stupid extinct giant lizard lizard monster" and birds aren't part of that category. and i say. you shouldnt use dinosaurs that way. go suck a baculum.

fandom loves nothing more than to look at an interesting story and boldly ask the question: what if we made it boring instead?

I think part of getting better is complete ego death. Like you’re not above setting a timer for 5 minutes and focusing on a task. You’re not above doing a very simple 3 minute workout to start. You’re not above reading for 10 minutes a day when you first get out of your reading slump, even if you used to read for hours. You’re not above starting slow and then building up to where you want to be/where you once were. What you are above is total inertia. Doing something really is better than doing nothing. Radically accept where you are, radically accept your limits, and go from there. Don’t let your ego get in the way.
