If this little book should see the light after its 100 years of entombment, I would like its readers to know that the author was a lover of her own sex and devoted the best years of her life in striving for the political equality and social and moral elevation of women.

“The Great Geysers of California” by Laura De Force Gordon, 1879, unearthed from a 100-year-old time capsule in San Francisco, 1979.

“Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all our letters could be published in the future in a more enlightened time. Then all the world could see how in love we are.”

Gordon Bowsher to Gilbert Bradley, 1940s

so embarrassing to get obsessed with your own oc but it doesn't fuel you creatively or motivate you at all you just sort of sit there. like yeah I've been thinking a lot about blorbo from my mind. no images of them exist in the world and they have maybe 3 personality traits so far. I would rather die than attempt to write about them. I've spent the last 48 hours rotating them in my brain though

Updated shots of my Keroppi collection as of March 2025!

This isn't exactly all of them, since I have a build-a-bear Keroppi plush on my bed and some small prints on one of my other walls, but I wanted to show off the main "section" I have on the top of my dresser!

I'll be sure to include the others later at some point later, But yeah! It's been a while! Keroppi updates are always good updates! This frog makes me so happy and my army grows stronger! 🐸

When I was a kid I kept failing classes because I'd lose my homework. I'd finish it, but between the dining room table and the classroom it would just walk away. Sometimes it ended up in my backpack, sometimes it didn't; sometimes I finished the homework at school and it got home in my backpack but wasn't there the next day.

To attempt to address this, my parents got me a neon orange folder to put in my backpack; it was my homework folder, all homework was to go into that folder and that folder only, and it was to only come out of that folder when it was being worked on. I was to put homework in the homework folder as soon as it was assigned and if I'd worked on it, put it back in the folder as soon as it was finished. The logic here was that using the folder was supposed to be automatic, and you wanted a bright color so it wouldn't get lost in the depths of a backpack.

I think I lost about eight of those before my parents stopped buying orange folders.

So it was very frustrating to search "how to be organized at work as an adult with ADHD" only to get a list that said "set alarms and write things down and try to make friends with a more organized person" which was immediately followed by tips to help your ADHD child stay organized and the one right at the top was to put their homework in a bright folder so they couldn't lose it.

If you have been harmed by the ADHD Tips Industrial Complex you may be entitled to a packet of fun-dip and a cactus cooler as consolation for losing your homework folder again.

FWIW I've started collecting ADHD tips that I've come up with or that I've found helpful and I've been writing them up on my website.

However many are as yet unwritten because. Well. You will never guess.

(each of those includes a description of the techniques; some include an explanation of why the work for me and some include links to other resources, like the Soundscapes page is linked under "Background Noise"; the to-do-list one describes multiple types of to do lists that I use in multiple situations)

Anonymous asked:

Anon from earlier but man you really wrote a 7 chapter long erotic fan fiction w over 8000 words of something so few people know about that you're the only one on the entire ao3 website. Youre a god damn legend man. Never stop writing please! #inspo frfr

Hello again!!! And YES!!! Being the first (and currently only one) to post an IMP INC fanfic on ALL OF Ao3 is quite the accomplishment! Too bad it was PORN LMAOOOO. I might write some SFW cute stuff with them later to even things out because it almost feels weird that the only singular result for “IMP INC” on Ao3 is my goddamn SMUT.

But then again, it’s Ao3. Would anyone even be surprised??? LOL

Go Girls Go! | First Dyke March in Washington DC, 1993

I attended Pride in 1995 in Atlanta and "Dykes on Bikes" was marching directly behind "Dykes With Tykes". This immediately created a huge stir among my group of onlookers! Because we all wanted them to join forces as "Dykes On Bikes With Tykes On Trikes".

These two groups were followed by Digital Queers--"We're here, we're queer, we have EMAIL!"

I doubt there was a single person at that march who hadn't been called a homophobic slur--and that includes our straight allies! But we defanged those words. We changed what they meant to us, because even gay or lesbian is a slur when someone screams it in your face.

This. This is solidarity in shared reclamation. "they can't say it"

They're SAYING IT TOGETHER as part of a UNIFIED FRONT. Rather than letting others tear them into disparate little bickering subgroups.
