💡Tip for creators: Don't tell people what you're working on. Not because they might steal it, not because you're diffusing the hype, but because in a lot of cases, it actually makes you less likely to complete it. [thread].

HOW TO GET A COSPLAY GIRL TO DATE YOU:. 1. If you’re trying to bag a “cosplay girlfriend,” you are pursuing a fantasy, not a person, and you shouldn’t date anyone until you unpack that shit and learn to humanize women.

This is why "I can love HP without supporting her views" is a problem. Every time you watch her movies, play her games, buy her books, and buy her merch, you are padding her pockets. You're funding her bigotry. Even participating in fandom keeps her work relevant & monetizable.

I just learned about "to-do list debt" and it's blowing my mind, so I want to share it with you. To-do list debt is when you've built up a backlog of overdue tasks. Just like real debt, if you pay off your debts first and ignore today's expenses, you just stay in debt. [thread].

I am a cisgender woman. Cis is a value-neutral descriptor used to denote that someone identifies with the gender they were assigned at birth. #CisIsNotASlur — it's just an adjective. Calling it a slur is just an excuse to discourage acceptance of the complexities of gender.
