2. also enjoy getting a shiner from a pizza.

So some #mentalillness talk... 

I had a really important agent interested in my novel. She suggested some revisions, and I addressed them, and I sent it back. And I got nothing for a year. Poked her a couple times early, got an "I'm working on it," then my life fell apart. Poked her again recently, she'd asked someone else to look at it and they ended up in the hospital and it had fallen through the cracks.

And, like... I feel like that's me now. That's just my life.

So some #mentalillness talk... 

When you're already dealing with derealization/depersonalization, it really doesn't help at all to send writing submissions and job applications out into the ether and never hear so much as a rejection. Am I even here? Am I a silent voice screaming into the void? Is there any point to any of it? I need to make money to support myself and I get so hopeless sometimes, like I have to scream and scream and I'm still never heard...

So here's some thoughts on politics:

The US has a two-party system, and changing that is nearly impossible. But our "left-wing" party is weak. And it's weak because it's run by and full of cishet white men with nothing on the line. They aren't fighting for themselves the way the right is.

And THAT. THAT is what there's a hope of changing.

We need to demand they nominate women, and better, women of color. Gays and lesbians and trans folks and all kinds of queers. Only then will they be strong.

"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all gay here. I’m gay . You’re gay ."
"How do you know I’m gay ?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”

I can't sleep so here's some validation:

Your problems are "enough". You don't have to earn anyone's approval to feel bad about something going on in your life. We all have problems, and yes some problems are bigger than others, but they are still just as important and vital and painful to us when we're experiencing them.

Take the time you need to experience your pain. Name it, process it, and then take care of yourself. Give yourself permission to treat yourself with love. You deserve it.

mastodong.social isn't taken, if anyone's trying to build a nsfw instance

just sayin'

Okay, so I am a long-time player of death knights in . And I just love how unrepentant their new class mount is. Not only is it a skeletal dragon, your seat is a COFFIN and the reins are A PAIR OF RUNESWORDS STUCK INTO A PILE OF SKULLS

it's so bizarre that everyone's judgment of mastodon's success uses the same rubric as twitter's success.

for me, marginalized ppl feeling loved, cared for, and supported in a radical, restorative space is a success and I don't think forbes will ever understand that

I wanted to take a nap but SOMEONE decided it was time to meow for half an hour

(it was my cat)

I don't know why, but there seem to be these trends in the manuscripts I'm sent to edit. Mistakes that suddenly become common and then fade away again. The most recent seems to be an allergy to past perfect tense. "HAD" IS NOT AN OPTIONAL WORD YOU CUT FOR BREVITY.

i'm so glad that this sort of infrastructure exists because like, i feel like i can post shit here without fascist bastards trying to make me feel bad lmao

@Firstaide Very useful! Thanks, I'll give it a look! :D

@Firstaide The list on github has little blurbs for each one, but I'll have to look into that one too. To me that's way more important than whether they support IPv6.
