You gotta include the other half of that sentence. I am not optimistic about the immediate future, ngl. But what can we do but try to get into fighting/surviving-shape?

@ReadFanon@hexbear.net I will remember your offer and rant to you about arabic books, which s probably going to be my identifying trait around here lol
I finally wrote down all the lit reccs I have been given. Thanks a bunch everybody.
historically, cruelty and hypocritical, self-satisfied power with a thin ideology paintjob have been the norm rather than the exception. We need to prepare and become stronger and smarter, because our day is coming, but we will miss it if we are not ready.
If I had a better answer, I wouldnt be posting online as much
I propose the Punkpunk Genre as the logical endpoint of the -punk conventions, where daring rebels rebel against rebellion and you pilot mechs made out of safety pins and broken beer bottles. That will be a shitty AAA game, please
I could be a vomit ghost if I wanted to
@GaveUp@hexbear.net Plurality, DID and systems are pretty badly understood, so it's a lot of self-ID and guesswork and introspections, I mostly had conversations with a more complex system (let's say for a better term, collective of personhoods) than me and a bunch of stuff clicked, they gave me great advice as well.
Coming out as plural. No, I don't have tik tok, No, I don't have a 10 year old alter. Yes, it sucks, Yes, I have a pretty mild version, no internal worlds or such. I can answer questions on here or DM
I will take a break from discworld for some time. Hogfather was fucking hilarious, though
out with doing bad, in with actively spiraling
Hi everyone,
I want to write more and hopefully get better, but I got really turned off from writing coms by what I heard and saw on Discord and 
. I am looking for a group where I don't receive unnecessarily caustic/bitter/passive-aggressive criticism for mistakes, especially since english is not my first language and I am probably not the most innovative/daring writer around (I just wanna write fantasy). If you need an example of stuff I take issue with, look at the r/writingcirclejerk mega and reccs for what turns me off.
I get that you have to show your stuff to other people eventually and get criticism for your mistakes, but I would prefer a space that is not so emotionally frustrating, lowkey to highkey transphobic/ableist etc etc. I get screamed at and have to deal with condescending assholes enough on the job/politics. I don't want that in something that is supposed to be FUN.
Do you have any recommendations for online groups or places that are relaxed, ND- and trans-friendly? They should still offer criticism and not white lie about things. Becoming "Better" means avoiding clear, objective mistakes, better structure, producing enjoyable, if not super groundbreaking works of fictions in the english language.
I don't want any "the world is hard, you have to be hard on yourself, you should suck it up" shit. There has to be a less gnarly way.
Thank you so much (insert unobtrusive, yet friendly heart emoji here)
I had like an interaction where I had some decent clues that a person only introduces their pronouns after they clocked me, e.g. other people didn't do pronoun intro before, the way the "ally in question" did it felt pretty artificial (I am willing to write that off on being paranoid).
The message is "I know you are trans, you are not passing, but I am graciously allowing you to exist in this group setting". Same goes for only doing pronoun checks in a group setting when you clock a trans person. I find it worse than assuming wrong pronouns and switching after being gently corrected. Maybe because I have higher standards of would-be allies than the average person. After all, allies are supposed to have my back, not just not having a 
moment when I pass by. On the other hand, I have it easy for being okay with being a semi-binary trans woman, so obv enby struggles are another thing, but clocking still stings like a bitch.
Pronoun checks should be normalized to a point cis people do it intuitively, but idk if we will ever get there. If you wanna chime in, when and how did you call that behaviour out or point it out, if you saw it? Did your response work?
