Ok People (whoever Is Gonna See This Lol)

Ok people (whoever is gonna see this lol)

I’m gonna go back to posting regularly on tumblr. This site is close to my heart and them memes, so once a week (Atleast) I’ll throw in a bit of my nonsense to extend the expanse of this rabbit hole of brilliant bullshit.

I’m a poetry,writing oriented blog but lmao we post whatever we see and like and which makes us feel happy.

No theme we die like women.

Keep an eye out for some (hopefully) interesting stuff guys. I really would love some attention

*potato rolls away*

Some folks have this attitude...

…As if the writing world were divided up between “those generous fanfic writers who pour hundreds of pages into the world to entertain us all for free, praise them!” and “those rich media conglomerates who need to shut their privileged mouths” and completely ignore that the overwhelming majority of creators are in the middle.

Like, look, fam. I’m a traditionally published author. I won a high-profile contest and sold film rights to a short story and was invited to speak on a panel at a major convention. 

I also work a full-time day job and still have been eating out of my pantry since Thanksgiving. 

Most writers are not Stephen King or J.K. Rowling. Most writers are English teachers and fry cooks and insurance salesmen trying to cram their writing into any spare moment they can. If we’re lucky, maybe we can afford a nice website or plane tickets to go to a convention once in a while. 

So please forgive me if the “people who do it for the LOVE are better than those sell-outs who do it for money” argument leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. 

Support original fiction. 

Support marginalized creators. 

Support small presses and indie writers. 

Support stories outside of fandom.

BECAUSE IT’S NOT MEANT TO BE BRUSHED!! 

STOP BRUSHING OUT CURLY HAIR 2k19!!!

I hate this, because almost no one knows it. No one tells kids with curly hair how to actually take care of their hair.

You can’t treat curly hair like straight hair and expect the same results! You can’t! It doesn’t work! Curly hair gets its own routine! 

Okay, look, here’s the deal.

Your curls are… curls. They are MEANT to go together into a GROUP. They are not like straight hair which just hands out in one big… thing. Curls have groups.

By BRUSHING it, you are splitting those good-curl groups into separate strands, which, on their own, are STILL trying their goddamned best to curl, but now that they are away from their friends, they are only clinging haphazardly to each other as best as they can and creating tangles!

Here’s what brushed curly hair looks like:

Here’s what well-treated curly hair that has CURL-FRIENDS is supposed to look like (curl size may vary):

See how the curl is NOT only one strand of hair? It’s a whole group!

You know how you get those nice curls?

STOP BRUSHING.Give your curls back their curl-friends!

Okay, here’s the deal - you sit down. You look at this chart. Figure out your type of curl. (guesstimate)

And now you go to this website and you read about what curly hair actually needs to thrive, and you change your routine, and you promise me that you will NEVER disappoint your curls like that again!!!! 

Basics:

1) Curly hair is damaged by heat, lack of moisture, and sulfates in shampoo. 

 - No blowdrying - use a cotton towel or t-shirt to scrunch your hair and get extra moisture out, and allow to air-dry

 - Turn down the shower temp while washing hair. I mean it.

 - Try to find a better shampoo.

2) Curly hair NEEDS moisture, and it NEEDS leave-in conditioner.

 - Use lots of conditioner.

 - Use leave-in conditioner

 - Try to use water spray over chemical setting sprays. 

3) Curly hair does not need to be brushed, only combed with a wide-tooth comb.

 - Comb the hair through with your fingers while in the shower and detangle while you have conditioner in. 

 - Comb again with a wide-toothed comb after the shower if needed

 - If you need to, use a twist of some sort to keep hair out of the way, but don’t squeeze it too much - give it room to breathe!

More tips from smarter people probably exist but that’s the basic stuff.

PLEASE be nice to your curly hair.

Happy new year people

To everyone who reads this,

Merry Christmas people. And also Happy Hannukkah to whoever celebrates it.

Make peace with all you did, or tried to do this year. Rest. And believe you’ll start next year with extra energy!

All the very best for the new year :)

Haven’t seen the series, read the books or played the games yet.
