i met a lot of friends through nanowrimo and would never have grown into the writer i am without it. i'd never come across any event that celebrated the joy and messiness of writing quite like nanowrimo. the first drafts of every novel i've ever written (other than the one i started as a literal child) were written during nanowrimo. i was a ML in my hometown for a spell and loved it. but the last few years have been like getting punched repeatedly in the face by an old friend every time some new controversy was unearthed. and now it's shutting down. idk. mixed feelings. if anyone still wants to write thousands of words in november together without the use of generative ai i'm down

reblog this if your blog is a safe space on april fools and won’t have any jumpers, screamers, or anything scary or anxiety inducing

Hi everyone it's trans day of visibility!! If ya feel like it, I'd love if you shared my work.. My name is Rachamim and I make personal queer fantasy work inspired by my Greek Sephardi background.

It's what always kept me going through my hardest periods of illness and instability and I feel very lucky to still be here sharing with y'all. If ya want links of where/how else you can support my work they're all here!! Thank you!

Her name is Katalin Karikó. Hungarian. Daughter of a butcher. Her thesis work became the basis of the mRNA vaccine technology. Read the article here.

My favorite bits from the article include how Dr. Kariko celebrated the fact that the vaccines that used her mRNA research worked

“On Nov. 8, the first results of the Pfizer-BioNTech study came in, showing that the mRNA vaccine offered powerful immunity to the new virus. Dr. Kariko turned to her husband. “Oh, it works,” she said. “I thought so.”

To celebrate, she ate an entire box of Goobers chocolate-covered peanuts. By herself.”

I sincerely hope she is recognized more than she currently is.

She won a Nobel Prize! (02 October 2023)

happy trans day of visibility, have a pigeon :]

i think we can relate to them a lot. there is no small number of people that will truly hate us just for existing, but remember that pigeons and doves are really the same thing and one is not less worthy of respect than the other. and there are also still people out there that love you more than anything! youll find your flock eventually

Happy Trans Day of Visibility!

Im sorry but it is so funny how people outside of tumblr view us. Like why are the tiktokers treating tumblr like some professional ass website you need to do extensive prep before you begin posting on. And the follower farming advice is so fucking funny to me when this is the website where people actively hate getting new followers

you didn't even type this. I watched you autofill it. you love me

were I to create an original piece of media I would create bait so queer in order to create a fanfic environment I like. I find you guys do your best work under duress.

I’d say “jeez can two people not be friends anymore?” and then I’d give one of them amnesia in which they only recognize the other above anyone else
