abortion 

lmao this women is talking about how she was arrested for preforming illegal abortions before Roe v Wade and the cop questioning her is like "oh I see you used to be a teacher, I used to be a teacher" and she's like "yeah I was a biology teacher" "well where did you go wrong" "where did *I* go wrong, what do you mean why did you stop being a teacher and become a *cop*?"

@bgcarlisle ah yeah that seems like exactly the right level of vagueness that fandom would run with for a joke

@bgcarlisle there used to be a joke in the star trek fandom that chocolate chess was the Vulcan version of a drinking game

….i can’t remember if vulcans getting drunk off chocolate is canon or something fandom just made up tbh

@monorail it took me like three tries to parse the spaces into “t-shirt cannon” correctly 😆

@sublingual even then I don’t see a huge difference between making a spreadsheet on like, graph paper and in excel

@sublingual if it helps dysgraphia which is a brain wiring issue that specifically effects writing verifiably effects both

Despite that ‘permission to use a computer’ is still the de jure accommodation for dysgraphia bc typing eliminates the ‘no one can read my handwriting’ issue, lets you have spellcheck, etc

@sublingual yes? I mean I guess it depends on context but generally?

@tozka never know when you’ll need to make a fort?????

thoughts on writing full-time, money 

@ljwrites yeah I do much better with academic writing than i do creative writing bc at least then I’ve got a structure & a defined set of limitations based on the source materials

Fiction just exhausts me immediately, people who do it full time are crazy impressive

A native Spanish speaker just offered to review this for me and I'm just like,

for both our sakes you don't wanna know what american foreign language education produces 😆

@rabbithearth @ljwrites @cadadr@weirder.earth foxg.love for gardening enthusiasts

@viv @ljwrites or for culinary enthusiasts!

I imagine the two groups don’t get along terribly well 😆

kink mention 

@pagrus @ljwrites one of the most terrifying instances

: character death but I don't think it's anyone people particularly care about

I'm not saying that writing emails to prospective employers isn't a valuable skill, I'm just saying it's kinda unfair to expect me to manage it in Spanish when I've never even tried it in my native language??
