It’s not IQ bullshit, it’s not an inherent thing, it’s a cognitive degradation thing. It’s how adhering to a certain kind of ideology requires that you make yourself believe things that corrode your ability to perceive and think clearly and objectively about people and how people work

Sometimes not being into romance books feels like being The One Girl Who Did Not Like Sweet Valley High in my primary school class.

Yes the US has reached the ”nothing is true and everything is possible” stage. Refer to Russia for further information how it continues from there
Ultimately you're not supposed to believe it. It not mattering is the point. The bolder the lie, the greater the impunity. The ultimate victory for evil is not convincing you, it's the truth being irrelevant.
We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

Just so we're clear, and so a tiny handful of wankers online don't create the wrong impression, the vast majority of your European friends are incredibly impressed by Minnesotans' courage against both the ice and ICE.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.
1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.
2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

This is, almost unbelievably, followed up with a possibly even dumber story about Patel’s people vigorously arguing with British intelligence to try to get them to okay him tweeting a photo that was taken at Windsor Castle with a bunch of spooks whose jobs are state secrets.

I know a lot of fanfic writers discouraged by the lack of fan-to-fan interaction hate hearing "write for yourself" but what that really means is that you are writing a story YOU want to read. When you think of YOURSELF as your first (and most important) audience, the rest falls into place.
Fanfic and fanart is about having fun!
The first thought should always be to just write it for yourself, to feel the joy in your heart!
and then, AFTER: share it!
try not to "write for an audience" as you work, it will make you second guess and overthink

Good morning, Bluesky. Today for my #photooftheday I’m sharing a shot from a favourite place up in the north west most corner of the Highlands - Balnakeil bay - on an April day last year. Lovely #cloudscape in the wet sand.
Have a great Friday, folks.

Another absolutely smashing East Pointers gig. They’re so stupidly talented it’s not fair.
And so stoked @eyeofacat.bsky.social got to see them.
#TROP folks should really check them out cos they did the opening song for Charles Edwards’ “Under the Vines” Show which in turn got him Celebrimbor.

"why do you write?"
because if I don't write, the creative energy within me will then ricochet around my insides without an outlet, and I'll explode into a cloud of stardust that floats around haunting people by whispering tales of the writing that never was. You've been warned.
