I am so so SO tired of the narrative that Americans only speak one language because it immediately assumes every American is white and monoracial. I know so few people who speak one language. Do y’all even go here?

Maybe my new career goal should be “go up far enough in the company that I no longer am required to do empathy training courses” /hj but a little bit /srs

One of the more frustrating parts of being in the corporate world is being inundated with mandatory trainings about empathy and effective communication, all while it is painfully obvious none of these are required after you hit a certain salary

I think it’s finally time I accept that there might be a possibility I might have ADHD and that’s why I can come up with billions of Great Things I Want To Do and rarely follow through on any of them, not because I don’t want to or lose interest, but because I just… can’t

Tangentially, my book marketing might be miles more successful if I were conventionally attractive. Alas, I am an obese brown woman with PCOS, so nobody is interested in what I have to say. (this is said in a neutral tone, I don’t need nor desire consolation over it)

I think I’m pretty good at accepting harsh truths of life, as good as you can expect someone to be, but this one’s hard for me: that no one will ever care about what I have to say as much as someone who is conventionally attractive has to say, even if they say nothing at all.

late night thoughts: nobody was making Wattpad covers quite like I was. The quality of the writing was dubious but I always ate up a cover and nobody could tell me I didn’t

People have always told me, “You have to learn patience” and I still don’t completely understand how that’s done. Have I gotten better at it, sure, but for a few years now I’ve plateaued, and still feel like a fairly impatient person

If writing wasn’t an enjoyable way to spend my time, for me, I’d have probably stopped a long time ago. It’s a good thing I don’t do this for a living.

I’m often in the type of sad mood where I genuinely have no idea what would make me feel better. But you know what always makes me feel worse? Having to hear “I’m sorry, I wish I could help, I’d help if I could” etc over and over again

"roblox game" has the same sort of connotation as "twitter artist" in my mind. it depresses me when a cool game is stuck on roblox in the same way that it depresses me when a cool artist only posts their art on twitter.

I’m reading old writing and it honestly makes me so sad how heteronormative it is. Everyone paired off neatly with children. I’m so glad I decided to tear that all apart in the rewrites. Some of these pairings make no sense!

To all artists around the world. Don't forget the OC you created when you were 12! Remake them! Give them a modern update! That character is practically your firstborn. So dig up that fossil and polish it.

tumblr is having a great one about this, little masterpiece of a post I'd say
first post reads: Pro-censorship wattpad refugees drama is so funny to me because when I started using ao3 as a kid I was a devout mormon and I thought that reading anything even remotely pornagraphic was a sin and would ruin my life. So when I was 13 and found ao3 I went "oh awesome I found a fanfic website with a filtering system so I won't ever randomly stumble into porn. This is great! I was really worried about seeing something I didn't want to see on the other platforms." I didn't read any smut online until like three years later. If a mormon 13 year old can figure out 'don't like don't read' wattpad users can too cmon you guys i believe in you. 
reblog reads: "you're less internet savy than a 13 year old mormon" is a diabolical thing to say to someone, I support it

I’ve talked a lot about losing motivation to write fanfic because it hurt my ego to be ignored (nice version), but I have found that writing secret, extremely self-indulgent fanfics that I never share with anyone is incredibly fulfilling in contrast

Your friends are not infallible btw. Acknowledging that they have intrinsic flaws that may make them off-putting to people who don’t know them like you do is fine, actually. Your friends are just as flawed as you are, maybe even more, and that’s perfectly okay.

It’s such a small issue in the grand scheme of things, but sometimes I want to reclaim the term “prude.” Yes, I am squeamish around sexual topics and I do prefer to be modest. Is there something wrong with that?

Circa 4 years ago I used to really enjoy drawing landscapes from the video games I liked. I eventually burned out on this style, but it was fun while it lasted. Here's some unfinished ones I have, just because I'll probably never actually finish them, lol
