A Message to my Followers who are going to be impacted by Hurricane Florence.
This hurricane is dangerous.
Please, take it seriously.
It is not just a thunderstorm.
Take it from someone who went through Katrina and saw the damage a hurricane can do when it sits and builds.
It changes entire landscapes.
It kills.
Get gas now. The gas stations will begin to either run out, or put a limit to how much gas you can get. Get it now while you can, because I remember distinctly the way the abandoned cars looked on the highway while we were evacuating.
Once that storm hits, the gas stations will shut down. There will be no gas for a week, at least.
You will be stuck in bumper to bumper traffic. Make sure your car is in good working order. The amount of cars left behind on the highway is astounding.
Bring your pets in case of flooding, don’t leave them behind or in a shelter.
Take a picture of every single thing in your house the way it is. Ever dresser. Everything. If it floods, this will help with the insurance.
Power will be out for a week, possibly more. Take anything that will spoil, eat it now/bring it with you/throw it out. You don’t want to come back to a house that is 80°+ inside with spoiled food. It smells disgusting. I know from first hand experience.
Pack as much clothes + whatever else you need as you can. You don’t know what you will be returning to, if anything at all. I hate to say it, but there were so many homes lost in Katrina in mg area to flooding & I didn’t even live in the Soup Bowl.
From what I’ve seen, the outer bands are strengthening. They’re red at this point. This hurricane is getting stronger, and it’s well built. There are no winds to tear it apart. It’s eye is holding together, and that’s terrifying. A well built storm like this one can ruin lives. It’s not a joke.
Please, please stay safe. Evacuate ASAP if you’re in the direct line.
Don’t wait until it is here. That is how you get killed. Do not evacuate in the middle of it. Don’t wait until last minute.
It is always better to be safe than sorry.
Please stay safe.
Listen to the news. Follow their advice.
Leave while you still can, before the highways get clogged up. Go as far in-land as you can. Leave the state entirely if you have to.
I just love female muses so much. Reminder to all writers of female muses oc or canon that you are doing amazing work and are talented as fuck, and your collective giant middle fingers to the rampant misogyny in the rp community is just the light of all fucking life.
It’s LGB AND T honey and if you can’t do the whole acronym then yes stay home no one wants to be around you
He really said that like someone would miss him or his bum ass boyfriend
Trans people are the reason you fucking HAVE Pride you fucking noodle
Reblogging for the noodle comment
But also repeating THERE WOULD BE NO PRIDE WITHOUT TRANS PEOPLE
KNOW OUR HISTORY
Trans people are the ones who fought and died (and I do mean literally died) so we can walk our glittery selves down the streets voguing and Lady Gaga-ing And waving a rainbow flag and kissing our partners in public.
Support the entire community, specifically the ones that FOUNDED the community, or get the fuck out, there is no room for you here.
If your comment on one of my fics ever looks like this I’m going to go full Samara and come crawling through your computer screen to murder you.
readers like this are what make writers stop writing all together.
“sorry life sucks but you have to realize that the readers feelings are more important?”
FUCK OFF
When you see writers say “i hate readers” this is the shit they are talking about.
As a writer myself, I can honestly say that this comment was ruder than saying not to just say ‘update soon’. Like there are nicer ways to show how much you love it?
I know that I will get things that just say ‘update soon’ since I’m posting it, and I honestly don’t expect an epic poem as a response, but I would like more than those two words. Even if it’s as simple as saying “Oh my gosh I love ths so much, I can’t wait for more” it’s so much nicer than simply saying ‘update soon’. The tone is different and it shows that you care for it more, it shows more that you like this story versus the needy, rude tone of just two words. I quit writing for a while after I had someone always comment ‘update soon’ on the chapters of a fic I wrote. At the end, they gave a long comment at last, but it amount to ‘I hated this story, these characters were all ooc, but it was nice to see my favorite pair as the main plotline’.
Like I don’t comment on every new chapter my faves post, but I sometimes make myself focus my fangirling into a coherent-ish comment/reply/etc. So Readers, please try to give more than those two words if you comment. I promise it means so much more. It may even help the words come faster.
“Free market” capitalism does NOT care about raging forest fires, it does not care about endangering firefighters, it does not care about people dying due to lack of healthcare insurance. Unregulated capatilism cares only about making profits, apparently at any and all costs.
Thor and T’Challa are the protectors of the lesbians, Bucky is the protector of the gays, Valkyrie and Steve are the protectors of the bisexuals, Deadpool is the protector of the pansexuals and Loki is the protector of the trans, genderfluid and nb peeps siri send post
MCU Loki is one of the most beautiful, deep, tragic, meaningful, full-of-potential character in the whole cinema history. Really…they could do anything with him. His own movie(s) could be an epic event. Something to remember.
Yet they’ve chosen to belittle him, little by little, stripped of his dignity and power, until cut him down. Completely ignored. Killed like a poor extras who doesn’t have any matter. With an unjustified violence and brutality.
It’s like to have a huge, solid golden nugget, shining and precious,…and use it as doorstop covered with dust…
