So I’m Sure By Now Most Of You Have Seen The News Story About The Patriots Using Their Team Plane To

so i’m sure by now most of you have seen the news story about the patriots using their team plane to fly ppe into massachusetts from china (or at least if you’re local to new england you probably have).

it’s being shared on the news as a heartwarming story of a football team stepping up for their local area, but it’s also absolutely a sign of how truly and deeply fucked the federal response to this has been.

some background: massachusetts has received somewhere in the neighborhood of 17% of the ppe requested from the federal stockpile, and not one single ventilator. we requested 1000 of those and have now had to up our request to 1400. we have repeatedly been outbid by the federal government and now, most recently, had shipments of ppe that we ordered straight up seized by the feds in new york.

So I’m Sure By Now Most Of You Have Seen The News Story About The Patriots Using Their Team Plane To

so, in desperation, our governor set up A SECRET DIPLOMATIC BACKCHANNEL to essentially beg china to send us badly needed equipment and make sure the federal government couldn’t seize it this time

So I’m Sure By Now Most Of You Have Seen The News Story About The Patriots Using Their Team Plane To

florida has received multiple shipments of supplies in this same time frame, on time and unmolested by federal authorities. the difference? governor ron desantis is buddy buddy with trump and florida is a big swing state for the election. states that get on trump’s shit list are having to beg, borrow, and steal so that more people don’t die.

this is deeply, incredibly fucked and i don’t want anyone to ever forget it.

A Message for Writers (who lack motivation)

Dear Struggling Writer,

How beautiful is it that we get to create, that we, as writers, get to make worlds and characters and stories? That we get to weave and string together words into any way we wish?

I hope you remember that.

So, I heard you’re struggling. It’s okay. I think we all do a little bit, always. Read on for what I hope will spark a little motivation in that heart of yours.

I’m going to tell it to you straight.

The only way to write is to write. I know… shocking, isn’t it? I want you get whatever it is you use to write, a laptop, a piece of paper, a notebook, whatever, and I want you to open your document. Go ahead. I’m waiting.

Your characters are waiting for you, too.

While I wait, I’m going to give you a few reminders because you’re here for a reason and I want to help.

STOP COMPARING YOUR FIRST DRAFT TO FINISHED WORK!!!! This, I think, is probably one of the most important things to remember when writing. Your work isn’t going to perfect the first draft, so stop comparing it to that book on your shelf. You’re in the very beginning stages of your novel (the first draft or two). You’re still getting your story out, and you haven’t had the chance to polish it and edit it. Please, no comparing.

Just start. I know it’s hard. I know. Trust me. START WRITING. How else will you tell your story? I know it’s difficult to continue. Maybe your story isn’t everything you wanted it to be. Maybe you’ve been struck with a new shiny idea. It’s hard to stay focused. It’s hard to stay motivated, especially when this story that you’re writing, that story that you’re becoming familiar with, isn’t so new, isn’t so mysterious. Really, all we can do it write.

Create a writing schedule. Write everyday. Write as much as you can. Treat it like it’s your job. When you get into the rhythm of something, it’s easier to keep with it. But, don’t forget to take care of yourself. You can take breaks.

Change something up. You usually write at night? Try waking up early to write. You usually write at your desk? Write outside.

You have to believe in yourself.

Writing is hard. Neil Gaiman says it best: “This is how you do it: you sit down at the keyboard and you put one word after another until it’s done. It’s that easy and that hard.”

I really suggest taking a look at V. E. Schwab’s YouTube video “On Shiny New Ideas.” This really helped me a lot. It changed my mindset completely.

Quick Writing Messages:

your characters are waiting for you

you create entire worlds and complex characters. that’s so cool. be proud of yourself.

one day, you will be someone’s favorite author.

only you can tell the story you’re writing. it’s your story. it’s being told with your unique ability to write with your personal take on it.

there’s no right way to write.

it’s okay to feel unmotivated. it’s okay to take breaks.

writing is a long, tedious process. be kind to yourself.

write because you love it. write because you get to be and see and experience hundreds and hundreds of different things. we are royalty and thieves and teenagers and mentors and teachers and lovers and haters and masterminds and heroes. writing is the coolest thing ever. enjoy it.

you can do it.

I really hoped this help. Now, go write that story of yours. It won’t be perfect, nothing really is, and it will take a lot of work, but at least you’ll be doing it. It doesn’t matter how much you write—one word or a thousand—go do it. GO WRITE!

Signed,

Another struggling writer

P. S. Here’s a quote. “You fail only if you stop writing.” - Ray Bradbury

Holy smokes its magic!

Anodization in action. This is how we safely change the colour of your jewellery, no paints, sprays or coatings - just electrical voltage. For you nerds out there the eltrical voltage is changing the thickness of the oxide layer, which causes it to refract light at different spectrum levels, thus giving the appearance of different colour. Anodizing is completely safe for fresh and healed piercings and for long term wear. You can also change the colour of your already anodized jewellery to a different one further down the spectrum and have faded jewellery re-anodised. At @thepiercingurge we provide this service free of charge so you can look that extra rad without breaking the bank.

I feel like this is important.

If you see anyone discrediting the rebellion in terms of destruction of property ‘vandalism’ discrimination by race, creed, know that this only serves the very forces that you are trying to dismantle. Solidarity is the key ! Dividing and dismissing people who are standing on your side only benefits the government. Do not fall for these tactics ! A lot of celebrities and so-called progressives have been spouting this ‘I’m not with them’ propaganda for days now and it unconsciously erodes the unity of the rebellion.

“external forces are responsible" is designed to create a feeling of community exceptionalism by building an endogroup where the narrative is “we are better than this - OUR group wouldn’t act like this”; this is to delegitimize the rebellion against the state and isolate individuals .”

Let’s just take a moment of silence for all the wasted potential for our non-canon ships, crack ships, ships that were done dirty by the writers, dead ships, ships that could have had it all and ships that should’ve been endgame but were ruined at the last minute.

2D Cravings

Hi! Here is a blog that I honestly needed to work on for any writing I do. When I'm not trying to drown my sorrows in tea, you can find me writing on Ao3. I'm a English graduate who got a job to fund her 2D boyfriends. I love art, gardening, traveling, and my cats.
