"At the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, 12 Israelis were murdered and taken hostage by Palestinian terrorist group Black September. For Adidas to pick a vocal anti-Israel model to recall this dark Olympics is either a massive oversight or intentionally inflammatory. Neither is acceptable,"

Fic authors deserve more credit.

Story time: I started a book about 23 hours ago and just finished it. Also in that time I slept for 10 hours, spent time with family, was at work, etc. Anyway, I enjoyed the book (Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda). But it felt like it flew by, so after I finished I looked up the word count because what are pages? Pages are meaningless. I only function in word counts anymore.

The estimate I found was 58,580. My immediate reaction was “oh, that’s why. That’s nothing!” But what a shitty response. Because no. That’s not nothing. That’s a whole. Damn. Book. An entire novel! And Fic authors regularly bust out 30k, 50k, 100k, 150k words. AND THEY DO IT FOR FREE. WHILE WORKING AND LIVING THEIR LIVES.

So anyway, thank your favorite fic author today because they deserve it. Because they’re amazing. They’re the MVPs.

Contrary to popular belief, that is not a cat but a single brain cell.

What do you keep in your witch hat?

I was today years old when i found out that i was allowed time off to vote. Something no boss has ever told me.

The sheer number of kids who are straight up putting their real names and ages and location in their bios like "Natasha | 14 | Minor | New York, NY!" and occasionally putting their actual school or city in their tags just terrifies me like no stop stop stop remove that right now I cannot emphasize how unsafe that is for you I am begging you for your sake remove thst shit right now

Hello, you may not see this but me and my older sister always get heated up about a specific word: hurt. She says it’s grammatically correct to say, for example, “that hurted” but I keep telling her that “hurt” is already in the past tense. Thus, it would be “that hurt” but she disagrees and mentions most people use “that hurted”.

As a prolific writer, please let me know your thoughts

(Also me and my sisters were not really in the best of terms but for some reason we all decided to watch Good Omens together and our relationship became really close. Thank you. )

Grammar is both prescriptive and descriptive. "Hurted" was good English grammar from the 15th to the 19th Century (just as "hurtit" still is a valid past tense in Scotland). In the 19th Century it was decided that "hurt" was the only valid past tense of "to hurt" and "hurted" fell out of fashion. If enough people use it then it will become good grammar once again.
