You should only write in present tense with extreme caution.
not because it's bad or anything but because if you do it even once you're going to be editing the bits where you shifted tenses out of your writing for the rest of your life
#*hides face*#listen present tense for me just hits different#do i have to edit allllllllll the thousands of words Gabe and I write every week before we post chapters? yes#will that stop me? no

Shearing half a sheep seemed a simple way to show a season's growth of wool, but photographer Cary Wolinsky was wrong. The half-shorn sheep tended to lose their balance and topple to wool-ward. It took many tries before merino sheep number 30 “became our hero," Wolinsky said.
#the implication that they tried this with 29 other sheep KILLS me#makes me absolutely hysterical inside imagining them being like ‘bring in the next one’#the determination in that is itself the funniest fuckin thing#sheep

With Mother & Father’s day coming up, please remember you are not required to be grateful to abusive parents. Please remember,
Don’t break no-contact.
Don’t let family guilt you into breaking no-contact.
Don’t feel guilty for living w/ them as an adult, you’re doing your best.
Don’t feel you’re betraying yourself if you have to give ‘appeasement gifts.’
DO put your mental & physical wellbeing first, as we know they won’t.
Maybe get yourself something, so many of us had to be our own parent anyway.

“but it wasn’t that bad”
did it hurt? did you feel scared? unsafe? were you embarrassed? humiliated? terrified? did you feel confused on why? does it keep you up at night? do you avoid being in a similar situation? did you cry? did you want to cry? who told you it wasn’t that bad?

A silly Jalim drabble because my brain is bouncing the two of them around like the old DVD logo.
++++++++++++++++++++++
“What is that?”
Pausing with one foot lifted to step into the bathtub, Jason looks over his shoulder at Salim. “Huh? What is what?”
Hanging up fresh towels for them, Salim has a troubled pinch in his brow and a frown tugging his lips down. He points. “Down the back of your leg. It’s bright red.”
Jason tries to twist himself to see it only for Salim to have to rush forward to steady him before he falls on his ass. He lets Salim guide him to the full-length mirror behind the door, then, and sucks in a breath when he sees what Salim means. “Well, shit. No wonder it’s been itchin’ like a dog covered in mange.”
Salim winces. “What did you do?”
“Fuck if I know.” Jason casts back in his memory for an explanation and only one appears, making him wince. “Wait. Dammit. When we were at Maggie’s and I played hide and seek with the kids in the woods, I bet I brushed up against some poison oak or poison ivy or something.”
“That was two days ago,” Salim says, concern filling his voice now. He bends down to retrieve the clothes he’d just discarded and starts redressing. “You didn’t think to say anything about it on our entire flight home? Or yesterday when we got back?”
“You were jetlagged! You weren’t conscious yesterday for me to tell! And it’s only- ehh, okay, don’t look at me like that. I admit it, it looks pretty gross.”
“We are taking you to the doctor.” Salim says.
“Hold on, but we were gonna have a nice bath and fool around and- Aw, damn it. This is what I get for being a fun uncle.”
—————————
“At least it’s only a single pill,” Salim says, attempting to soothe Jason as he drives them home. He reaches over to set his hand on Jason’s knee. “It is just to help get rid of the rash, since the cream they gave you before didn’t work.”
“Yeah, yeah, I know,” Jason grumbles.
Salim purses his lips sympathetically and drops it for now. He understood why Jason was upset about it. He’d really wanted the cream the doctor had originally given him to work so it wouldn’t come to him having to take any sort of medication, especially something he’d never had before. But he’d scratched himself raw twice now and Salim couldn’t bear to watch him suffering anymore.
The rest of the drive is filled with the silence of Jason’s stewing about it.
But when they get home he dutifully takes the pill, downing a whole glass of water with it. Then he throws himself down on the couch to be grumpy about it.
Salim gets busy making them a nice dinner. Something he knows Jason really enjoys, to help lift his mood again.
He’s halfway done when Jason pads into the room with an odd look on his face. “Darlin’, something is off.”
Stirring the gravy he has thickening on the stovetop, Salim pouts down at it. It looked fine to him. “I followed the recipe exact- Jason!”
He has Jason in his arms the next second, keeping him from tipping over and crashing down onto the tiles. Salim lowers him down gently, patting his cheek. “Jason! Hayati, can you hear me? Jason?!”
For a couple of seconds Jason’s eyes are rolled back. And then they slip open again, slowly focusing up at Salim, clouded by confusion.
Salim presses him back down when Jason tries to sit up. “Hold on. You fainted. Stay there for a moment.”
“Fainted?” Jason repeats, dazed. Sweat has broken out along his brow.
Brushing it away, fingers slipping through Jason’s hair, Salim nods. “Yes. Take some deep breaths with me.”
They sit together on the kitchen floor until Jason’s breathing is calm and even and his eyes are alert once more. He winces. “Fuck. Must be that medicine I took. I think it said it can make me dizzy.”
Salim frowns, worry etched all over his face. “It shouldn’t have been that strong, though.”
“It probably ain’t all that bad for most people, but the most I’ve had in the past two years is a para- parasesa- the British advil.”
“Paracetamol,” Salim supplies with a small shake of his head. It made sense, though. It reminded him of the first time they’d gone to America and he’d taken a benadryl because the allergens there had kicked his ass. The benadryl had promptly kicked it harder and left him sleeping for two full days.
Very carefully, he helps Jason back to his feet and over to their dining table. “I’m sorry, love. I should have kept an eye on you.”
“Not your fault, babe. I’m already feeling back to myself. And no itching, either.” Jason met Salim’s gaze and grinned, reassuring. “And, damn, that smells good. Are those biscuits in the oven?”
“Yes,” Salim answers, finally giving Jason a smile in return. “Since you decided to bring a bit of Texas home with you, I thought it was fitting.”
Jason snorts. But his grin grows. “In the future I’m gonna leave Texas right where it is.” His gaze becomes so soft that Salim can’t help but come over to him, because he knows that look. It’s Jason’s, ‘come here so I can kiss you’ look.
And it’s exactly what Jason does.
“Thank you for taking care of me,” Jason murmurs against Salim’s mouth.
“I always will,” Salim hums back.
They kiss a bit longer before Salim finally pulls away and murmurs, “Now let me finish this and then once we have eaten how about we run a bath?”
“I like the way you think.”
—————
“Salim?”
“Mm?” Salim straightens up from placing the plug in the tub.
“What in hell is that?”
Salim’s stomach sinks for a second. He goes right to the mirror to look himself over. But he finds nothing. His eyes meet Jason’s in the reflection, bemused. “There is nothing-“
“Wrong. It’s your sexy ass.”
Jason’s loud snickering is muffled by the towel suddenly thrown in his face and Salim trying to keep the amusement out of his voice as he says, “Jason, get in the tub.”

If you genuinely, truly, absolutely, cannot bring yourself to vote for the president of the united states, please just show up for elections anyway and vote for your congresspeople and local representatives.
Please.
Just.
If you cannot bring yourself to vote for the president because he's so disgusting of a candidate you morally cannot bring yourself to cross that line, then PLEASE vote for your congresspeople and local representatives who can block, defend, or present new bills, actions, acts, etc.
These are the people who can actually confirm or deny or impede horrendous acts when they happen.
Like. This is the bare minimum. If you cannot vote for the President, please just still vote for someone.
Change doesn't happen if you don't vote for the people willing to enact change.

I saw this question posed on tiktok, but I think Tumblr would really enjoy it too.
If a fae creature offered to give one million dollars for a bone chosen at random, how many bones would you allow them to take?
Light clarifications; The fae is not the one choosing the bones. The bone is taken at random. Each bone, no matter the size or importance, is worth a full million dollars. You must also declare the exact number first, you can't go bone-by-bone. You either say 2 or you say 10, you can't work your way up to a higher number. The bones are removed instantaneously, and the money is given immediately as well. You will not get in government trouble for acquiring the money.
Tell me in the tags/replies how many bones you'd let the fae take. And as always, reblog for bigger sample size.
#my THORACIC VERTEBRAE i am FUCKED#actually no wait put a metal spine in me take away my thirty year-old back pain#this was just the worst of the seven#why did I choose seven???? HUBRIS
