It’s kinda sad that when someone shares a resource, inevitably some people will reply negatively. If it’s not for you then it’s not. You don’t need to say anything. Replying with negatives just discourages people from sharing anything in the future, and then you complain it’s all dead internet.

35 active fires, more than 1.5 million acres burning right now, 2 million acres burned this year. All I have are tears.

Feeling kinda glum and would love to have some funds to go out this weekend ❤️

It's my birthday month! And... I'm broke I'd really like to still be able to do fun things (and get a hair cut) this month, so if you'd like to help me do those fun things, here's a list of ways to support me Starting with the easy option: you can send me money via Ko-fi! Any amount helps 1/?

I love getting all my minerals in one breath.

If you're here from Zed's Pack, just an FYI on how my prompts work (quote). You won't see much from me with worldbuilding prompts until September, but for those that were here last year, it was apparently quite fun and useful. And it's actively in revision to be like my other two (so far). 😁

Hell yeah I made the list! Thank you! For people not in the know: I hold mine only quarterly because it takes a toll and I keep all mine conveniently right here for people! It will auto-populate with new cards once we're in a Quarterlies month (3/6/9/12). 💜

#JulyInterviewFic "Please, for all that is good in the world, be kind. Be *kind*. So many people going through so much that they never talk about. You never know what someone else has survived. We hurt each other so much... there needs to be a more compassionate way forward."

#JulyInterviewFic. (Answer in character as your OC) Question 31. Okay. Last question. If you could magically put a message in front of everyone worldwide, what would that message be?

Don't let the Ai discourse discourage you aspiring writers out there. Art is valued by its rarity, and the rarest thing in the world is the talent of a single individual. What can be mass produced for cheap has little value. You are an original. A one of a kind. A bespoke wonder. Never forget that.

Please be thoughtful of hosts when playing along with these games. They are challenging to put together and maintain and often run away with the number of responses. Game runners are humans with lives and need to make some hard choices about how to engage!

This is in the depths of Kira's "rules of engagement" and while I'm pretty sure don't have to highlight it for most people that follow me still, maybe it's a good reminder as we head into a new month with a whole bunch of prompt games about to happen. Guys. The notifications can be insane. 🧵

You! Hey you! Yeah, you… You’re fuckin’ delightful.

Portland: I want to give the gift of a photograph to someone for their anniversary. Where can I get one printed relatively quickly and at a fair price?

a nerd with a dirty sense of humor and a kind heart is the absolute ideal and no one can ever convince me otherwise

It's my birthday Sunday and usually I'd be like "maybe buy me a ko-fi if you can", but... this time if you can buy me a ko-fi, give it to Alec instead, please. Since I'm not able to and I would like for him to have a little breathing room right now. ✌️❤️

I've been spending a bit much, having to eat premade food a lot n extra painkillers and bus tickets and ubers and, i have outstanding comms i won't be able to finish and no real way to repay them Kinda a scary time for me and, more money would be less worry, but only if you can

Looking for sexy comic stories that are different? That have heart? That celebrate all of us? So was @ginabiggs.bsky.social, so she went and made a whole fuckin' site just for fun stories about fuckin' called @filthyfigments.bsky.social! by @jpawlik.com www.ohjoysextoy.com/interviewing...

Imagine if we just believed disabled people? If we trusted that they were the experts in their bodies? If we listened when they said they could do something, and supported them when they said they couldn’t. If we gave accommodations and assistance without judgment? That’s true inclusion.

In light of the twin earthquakes that hit Venezuela, a bunch of pornographers have combined our powers to bring aid to those hit by the disaster. PORN 4 VENEZUELA is a bundle of 24 erotic works worth $100 for the low price of $25. Get some good porn & help us help!💛💙❤️ itch.io/b/3793/

Be back in a spell. Keep your fingers crossed for me. #WeeknightWriters

A1: I'm well, considering the hole in my head. (It's just a flesh wound.) The post-Pride momentum that kept my spirits high amid The Horrors™️ came to a halt when I couldn't get out for walkies two days in a row. So I'm trying to find my groove and chomping at the bit to go outside! #WeeknightWriters

Q1: How are you holding up this week? (Or not holding, as the case may be) #WeeknightWriters

Hello #WeeknightWriters! I'm Kate. My WIP is now called (Burning) Strings of Fire about a fire investigator investigator, a man who holds a flame for the flame, and his brother who may or may not be a real boy. The writing week has been less-than-productive as wildfire smoke turns my brain to mush.

Weeknight Writers@weeknightwriters.bsky.social · 2w ago

Hello #WeeknightWriters ! Come on in, introduce yourself and your WIP, and let us know how your writing week is going! Or not going, that's valid too

Thunderstorms always make me think on the idea of having a soak in the late evening by candlelight while someone reads to me. Which feels like either a desire worth reviving or a fantastic experience worth writing about.
