...bc yeah, THIS.

Tumblr post by user kalira , dated Oct 20, 2024:
I say this very gently and with much love, and I say it not only as a writer myself but as someone who has been privy to many 'but how can they not know that work is amazing! 1 love it! I gushed about it to every friend I have and recced in x, y, z servers and [...]'

The writer or artist doesn't know this.

They have no way of knowing that you found their work beautiful and lifechanging or even just a bright spot on a bad day or that you think about it every day or that you told all your friends about it, and those things are great but we have no way of knowing them! You may not be doing it intentionally, but you're excluding the writer or artist from the community feeling of fandom that you are carrying on (that is so great! fandom is a community! continue to talk and play!) even with their work.
Please, please just drop a line even that is "oh gosh I absolutely love this work, I screamed to every one of my
friends about it when I first read/saw it!" even if you don't
have the spoons to share more of the specifics that made you flail at your friends or what you said in private. (Though if you do, we will love you forever for it.)

Last round of edits have begun for the final book in my trilogy and I am EMOTIONAL. But seriously, taking a break tomorrow to go paint leaves on the window of a queer bookstore? WHAT IS MY LIFE??? (I love it!)

Me taking weeks long hiatus just to come crawling back on here after watching Dracula A Love Tale because it destroyed me in the best of ways and left me like this

40% of Republicans think the COVID vaccine killed more people than the COVID virus. One in four believe that QAnon is real.

No matter how far they radicalize, we are told over and over again that the people being rude to them are the problem.

Hey, this you?

Gavin Newsom agrees with anti-trans talking points on yet another MAGA
podcast

California Gov. Gavin Newsom speaks at a press conference in Oakland in 2024

The California governor spent more than four hours on the Shawn Ryan Show talking about, among other things, trans athletes, gender-affirming care, and "the whole 'pronoun' thing."

When fairytale creatures escape into reality, an orphan w/ trust issues must rely on 2 ppl who know the original story: his privileged ex-bf & a girl who bleeds ink. If they can’t get ahead of the plot, they’ll be trapped in a world of monsters. #PosterPitQ #F #YA #posterpit

Selwyn rarely accepts help.

The orphan knows people are undependable, but as soul-eating creatures attack his town & time freezes, he must lean upon the mayor's son (his ex) & a paper-made girl who bleeds ink in order to save all he loves & himself. #PosterPitQ #F #YA #PosterPit

The amount of relief I feel that agents seem more active on here than Twitter. Thank you. 😩
