It's 2024 And I'm Playing DA For The First Time Gods Am I Weak For The Guys Trying To Kill Me The First

As a writer I need everyone to know that whenever I write "exchanged glances" my intent is this

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years

taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult

at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)

'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65

it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age

it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.

you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.

young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!

there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big

Today I am 42 -- officially the answer to life, the universe, and everything -- and I get to share this birthday with the release of CRITICAL ROLE: STORIES UNTOLD. Getting asked to contribute to this anthology has been a real career highlight and many many thanks to @criticalrole and Random House Worlds for the opportunity. If you're an audiobook person, the CR cast is narrating this anthology, so you know it'll be an incredible experience.

Happy release day to my fellow contributors. And to the Critical Role fandom, I hope you enjoy! 💜 https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/760753/critical-role-vox-machina--stories-untold-by-critical-role-aabria-iyengar-rory-power-sarah-glenn-marsh-and-more-foreword-by-liam-obrien/

Friends described living under the Trump Administration as being slowly beaten to death by a rubber chicken.

It still hurts. It's still painful. But you keep hearing a synthetic BAWWW every time it hits you as a constant reminder of how it's the stupidest possible way to die.

You're pissing...

i love when people rant to me like yes i am entrusted with your hate

Should I post my stories/update my chapters here on Tumblr along with ao3? A lot of people seem to do that, but my chapters can be kind of long and wordy, so I worry it’d be way too much.
