this is my long writing meta quotes thread now 

« You can’t really go wrong if you’re going feelings-first. That’s a very fic thing, and obviously coming from fanfic, I’m a very feelings-driven writer, so feelings and character are the things that are gonna get you through a story, and if you’ve got the feelings and the character right, nobody’s really going to mind that much if they’ve seen a plot similar to this before, there’s no original plots really under the sun…but if you get the feelings and the characters right, people are gonna come along for the ride.»

wordle meta 

@rabbithearth i feel i’m doing quite well with arose / until though unfortunately hello wordl doesn’t save winrates (and I wasn’t manually recording every game) so I don’t have anything to back that up!

Sibling does route / daisy which i like

illness discussion 

@thesunshinesushi@mastodon.scot i very reliably get secondary infections after catching a cold — this is standard for people with even mild asthma. My record was six months, four different inhalers & three rounds of steroids to clear it up

Even if it 100% just a cold, please don’t give it to me!

Queerphobia, but also Dan Savage being an ableist shartstain 

@Jo
«In the interview with WTWO-TV, Medley said that gays served no purpose in life, and equated LGBT teens to students with developmental disabilities.

“It’s the same thing with my special-needs kids,” she said.»
