Just Procrastinating

if you are a parent, or may become one, or you are otherwise likely to arrive in the situation of caring for a child while they eat, promise me this: if a child doesn't like a certain food or food group, you will ask them WHY. and specifically, you will pay attention to either confirming or ruling out "it makes my mouth itch" or "it makes my stomach hurt," both of which are medically important info that children may not provide unprompted. which i know because this PSA has been brought to you by "i spent my entire childhood and much of my early teens eating peas and lentils while wondering why everyone else liked the Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation so much, like were they a bunch of legume masochists or something, before i finally realized that Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation was in fact a sinister demon appearing only to me, and her true demonic name was: Legume Allergy"

It’ll be almost impossible to find this post unless it wanders across your dash.

It wandered across mine. I shall help it travel forward.

this is not a place of honor

Oh hey post of Ozymandius, good to see you again standing on your feet in a desert where no one remembers you

Everyone passionately defending the em dash from being stolen completely by AI has also had the side effect of teaching me that I’ve been using it wrong. I was doing this - with a normal-sized dash and spaces between - rather than the larger dash with no spaces. So that’s cool I guess

Buddy road trip comedy but it’s one or two people helping a selkie cross the country in search of either her old seal coat or a way to get a new one.

HELLO this is a reminder that if you don't mark a bookmark private I CAN see it on my stats and I CAN see what you've commented on the bookmark so please for the LOVE of GOD do not RATE my fics out of five stars unless you are doing it in a PRIVATE bookmark that I will never see. Maybe you think that giving a fic four out of five stars is FLATTERING. It is NOT. It feels too much like a GRADE and I do not want to be GRADED I just want to hear about it if you cried, laughed or came. And what parts of the fic made you do those things. THAT IS IT!! thank you.
