This end up

beginning to suspect that if I ever want to have a published novel I will have to actually write a novel, which is frankly ghoulish

I know I have a novel in me but it seems to be lodged in like. I don't know. my appendix.

at some point your story will rupture and cause you unbelievable pain until it is taken out into the world

why is this so moving

the shop owners are well aware of its value

Truly I hate the fact that if you’ve got memory problems people just assume you’re dumb. Like sure it’s great to be able to list off perfectly memorised bullet points at a moment’s notice, but I don’t really think that’s an adequate way of assessing that person’s learning. That doesn’t tell me you’re knowledgeable on the subject, it tells me you’re really good at dot points & flash cards. Can you define them in your own words? You can remember them but do you understand them?

Please keep interacting with this post because when I come to tumblr to procrastinate, this shows up again in my notifications and guilts me into writing again

i hate when rich people condescend with the whole 'money can't buy happiness' argument like listen. just because buying your fourth car didn't fill the void in your deluded disconnected-from-reality life doesn't mean not having to worry about food/ bills/medicine wouldn't greatly improve the mental health of literally everyone else on the planet

Another way of putting this is that money doesn't buy happiness, but relief from financial worries ABSOLUTELY buys happiness, and there is a dollar value on that.

Nobody should buy GTA til they free Arion Kurtaj

What with GTA VI going up for pre-order i'd just like to remind everyone that rockstar conspired with the UK government to lock an 18-year-old away for life for hacking them.

i must say, i am a huge fan of when a book is in the middle of a very exciting plot containing many interesting problems when out of nowhere for a few pages it's like, "hey by the way, real quick, here's a detailed explanation of the city's water filtration system! i'm telling you this for a reason and you should worry about it. anyway! haha okay back to the plot" and you just get to be Scared for a while

I dont know who needs to hear this but your full body commissions are worth more than $20

This is also, btw, how the US drastically reduced drunk driving in the US. Telling people they shouldn’t drive when intoxicated made absolutely zero difference. A slogan-and-ad-campaign for “Friends don’t let friends drive drunk!” changed drinking culture. Going after the bystanders is quite often the most effective thing to do in any social change.
