Writers: If only I knew why I wasn't feeling good today Body: You never sleep, you only eat snack foods, and you live on coffee. Not to mention your daily crippling anxiety Writers: I'm probably just tired, need some more coffee

No, Law & Order is copaganda because Dick Wolf explicitly said this was the ideological aim of the show. He’s long said one of his goals was to boost the image of the prosecutor. Profit and consumer demand is one motive yes, but ideological motives also exist. And they matter.

You're a writer. Few other people would dare stumble so deep into the ultra vicious literary world so nakedly in search of an audience and validation. You've already made it this far against every odd. Of course you won't make it. Live más.

I was so intrigued I had to check if this was real and track down the source. It is real. It's from a 1966 issue of a magazine called "Transvestia" which, despite the name using a term from an earlier time, was a genuinely ground-breaking trans magazine. vault.library.uvic.ca/collec…

As for the *emerging" writers, you're already here. Just start calling yourself a writer. You're good. You're beautiful. You'll totally make it. Try not to cry as you get gutted by how difficult it is, it draws attention from the roving gangs of discourse

Learned today that the Dwarf Fortress community came up with a mechanic so ethically horrifying—a system for mass-asphyxiating mermaids to profit off of goods crafted from their skeletons—that the creator himself said “absolutely not” and nerfed the value of mermaid bones

we criticize hollywood for lazy tropes but our two main antagonists right now is a former kgb agent with a penchant for poisoning and an emerald mine heir who wants to live on mars. if these were bond villains they’d be dismissed as caricature
