-> file: fediverse/4601 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────── @user-1710 my strat is to write a page or three whenever I feel called to it. They don't even have to be in sequence, just, "here's a scene with these characters in it" or just writing down notes like "what if the jewel encrusted sceptre was haunted by the ghost of christmas past" or something. in a couple years you can look back at the directory on your desktop and think "wow this all sucks, I'm gonna write it from scratch now that I have time" and that'll be part of the process. Gotta get the useless stuff out of the way. Also... if you don't mind pen and paper, keep a dream journal and just, write for 15 minutes every morning. Not necessarily about your dreams, but just about whatever's in your mind. Try and aim for two pages per morning, if you can. Helps a lot. Sometimes you'll find yourself writing longer than expected, and that's okay, as long as you fill the two pages with whatever morass is clogging up your creative machinery, you'll be able to make something when you do decide to write. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4602 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────── @user-246 on reddit you subscribe to subreddits on fedi you desubscribe from reply guys opt-in vs opt-out, that decision was made by Twitter, and then Mastodon kept it because it's what people knew. frankly tho, opting-out is kind of the dream of the internet? you can talk to ANYONE, how cool is that, right? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4603 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────── @user-1713 Don’t be fooled. Casting doubt about rigorous peer reviewed science doesn’t mean you are just “asking questions,” it means you are a conspiracy theorist. or it means you're so remarkably ignorant that you shouldn't even be in the room where people are talking about this. Unless your questions are very basic. "can someone explain to me what XYZ term means?" or "how long has this particular application method been in common use?" that kind of thing. Even still, either do some basic research or relinquish your decision making power until you understand. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4604 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────── @user-246 collectively identifying an entire instance as a single person is a useful and crucial engagement pattern that I believe helps unify the fediverse. Can also fracture it, but oh well?? I heard that some instances defederated my instance recently. I wonder why? Oh, some drama with some person, gee that's kinda like abandoning a third space in IRL public because someone who worked there abused their partner. Like ditching the Beatle's conception of heaven because the guy who sang that song did rude things to his wife. Like did you hear John Denver once cut his wife in half with a chainsaw? I heard it was her mattress, ooooo scary. Isn't he the guy that sang about peace, love, serenity, harmony? what's that all about? ah well he's defederated from life now, can't ask him a damn thing, can we? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/695 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────── If your work is organized for mass-market appeal, it means you want everyone to read it. If your work is scattered and distracted, then only the sage would learn from it. So speak your mind, and let the words flow forth. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4605 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────── I want to cry and I know why should probably have gotten my estrogen prescription refilled back when it ran out in october ah, well, the queue for planned parenthood is fifty feet high better start stockpiling production capabilities to be deployed when the time is right ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4607 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────── @user-1352 yes I would like that very much. would you like my contact details so we can discuss deets? here's my signal: (303)396-7678 ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────┴───────────┘ |
