I hate beatboxing so much. I FUCKING HATE IT. If you make dubstep sounds with your mouth then I personally think we should be allowed to hit you with a really, really heavy truck.
People on twitter arguing that Disney owns so many things it’s “““impossible”““ to boycott them when they still only own a bunch of entertainment and media brands. How does anyone not know about things like 123movies or kimcartoon. No you won’t get viruses or malware, no you won’t go to jail, stop spending money on moving pictures that hundreds of people have already uploaded for free, come on, this is ridiculous. If it kills the industries, let it. They’re too big. They’ve already made so much shit that you can never watch it all in one lifetime. Nobody needs more actually.
hey @amalgarn i got you a mock up for that great new ask blog idea i gave you
Become bipedal some of the time
guys. guys I just had a fucking vision of the next tumblr meme
FOOD
Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food
grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread
different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.
some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit
SHELTER
Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment
sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it
Some churches offer short term residence
Find your nearest homeless shelter
Look for places that are open to the public
A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry
HYGIENE
A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.
Public libraries have bathrooms you can use
Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.
Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver
Local beaches, go for a quick swim
Some truck stops have showers you can pay for
Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet
Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket
OTHER
first aid kit
sunscreen
a travel alarm clock or watch
mylar emergency blanket
a backpack is a must
downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards
sleeping bag
travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror
swiss army knife
can opener
its just undertale canon that chara eats rocks
Reblog for larger sample size whatever
Pro-writing tip: if your story doesn't need a number, don't put a fucking number in it.
Nothing, I mean nothing, activates reader pedantry like a number.
I have seen it a thousand times in writing workshops. People just can't resist nitpicking a number. For example, "This scifi story takes place 200 years in the future and they have faster than light travel because it's plot convenient," will immediately drag every armchair scientist out of the woodwork to say why there's no way that technology would exist in only 200 years.
Dates, ages, math, spans of time, I don't know what it is but the second a specific number shows up, your reader is thinking, and they're thinking critically but it's about whether that information is correct. They are now doing the math and have gone off drawing conclusions and getting distracted from your story or worse, putting it down entirely because umm, that sword could not have existed in that Medieval year, or this character couldn't be this old because it means they were an infant when this other story event happened that they're supposed to know about, or these two events now overlap in the timeline, or... etc etc etc.
Unless you are 1000% certain that a specific number is adding to your narrative, and you know rock-solid, backwards and forwards that the information attached to that number is correct and consistent throughout the entire story, do yourself a favor, and don't bring that evil down upon your head.
hEY CREATIVES!
Are you stuck scrolling through reddit, twitter, tumblr, tiktok, any media site that gets money from the attention that you give it by granting you little scraps of dopamine whenever you actually find something genuine throughout the mundane?
I need you to pull up a playlist, any playlist. It can be an oc playlist, your world building playlist, mood playlist, etc.
Second, grab your notebook or sketchbook.
Third, get comfy somewhere, like the couch, your partner’s bed, etc (blankets and snacks may be crucial)
LASTLY, start your playlist and place your phone face down and just
Be bored. With your music. For 15 minutes.
Don’t pick up your phone, let your mind wander, and see where it takes you.
