Liberation to write where you're comfortable is an amazing thing... May this be the start of many more easily typed words ๐Ÿ™

Oh no, this is "does this get a comma or not" for visual art, isn't it? Don't go there, it's an abyss that can never be escaped--

So please, if you can, Iโ€™d love to have this thread list pro-Trans everything. Creators, craftspeople, writers, artists, activistsโ€ฆif you or someone you know deserves some celebrating, bring it the fuck on, okay?

Post links if you can.

Buy stuff if you can.

They hate when people stand up.

When y'all buy from indie authors, it impacts us profoundly. Especially if it goes outside the circle of authors trading a few dollars back and forth amongst ourselves.

You definitely should. I do so much iPad writing sometimes, and it can be a great middle ground when getting to a desk/laptop just isn't happening

No one considers light sensitivity, just throw more light on it and make it FFFFFF and not an offshade too while they're at it ๐Ÿฅฒ

DQ1 is so charming. I hope you enjoy 2 when you get it! They're both good times and have different strengths so looking forward to when you do ๐Ÿ‘€

Mine are almost all perma-set to near min brightness ๐Ÿฅฒ Even on my good days, I definitely have light sensitivity. I also have a lot of anti-flicker and low blue light equipment for similar reasons ๐Ÿฅฒ

Both are great, but are you going for 1 or 2? ๐Ÿ‘€

Richard. It's super hilarious that the man that is utter dumpster fire material and deserves to be dumped into the garbage bin wholesale is the one I always end up hearing about

Readers of the Blades trilogy will recognize The Sea Spirit - the ship Caron and the pirates call home!

The Dead Seas duology starts on the Sea Spirit, and it's an important location throughout. The design is based off a superyacht concept by Lazzarini Design Studio :)

It's not something I'd recommend doing, at least without proper form/rest breaks/stretches, that's for sure ๐Ÿฅฒ

Ideally, I work at my desk, however my migraines can make this basically impossible sometimes, so I have an ipad/keyboard combo that I write on the couch with that's easier on me. When that's too much, I write on my phone bc it's always w/ me & I can lay down while getting words in

Oh we passed that point like...almost two decades ago xD Back when I was 17, I wrote like 120k in a month on a macbook propped up in my lap. That said... I'm trying to do better! Esp when my hands/wrists *helpfully* remind me like today ๐Ÿฅฒ

Breaking news: doing the wrist/hand stretches I learned a decade and a half ago helps and I should do them regularly yet will continue not to do so. Like, follow, and subscribe for more ignored relevations like the above

(I'm so bad about stretching and it's starting to catch up to me rip)

He has four working paws but would rather exercise his vocal cords instead apparently. As one does.

I heard a rumor some people don't argue with ferocious beasts demanding to be picked up for scratchies every morning, but at this point I'm not sure I believe such a reality exists

She said I'd thank her later and for the record, I'm in my doctorates yet *still waiting*. Really would've thought I'd hit the thankful part by now

....does sarcastic renditions count?

Otherwise, my mom did, but my mom also said I needed pre-calc in undergrad and she lied there so I'm not sure why I believed her about grad school--

I've got two more sections in my lit review, then I finally got the full proposal ready to go. I ended up getting super delayed from some stuff but it feels good to finally be getting this at least somewhat under control here. Grad school is fun, they said
