I can just imagine ghost Johnny watching Ponyboy instantly not stay gold not even a week after he dies.
He just watches as Pony breaks off his pop bottle to point it at socs and give the biggest sigh. Like, “Bro did not do what I told him to.”
Then you have Dally cheering in the back for Ponyboy. Idk parallels or something 😭

In Yourself
Love is the endless call That burrows as the rabbit, Or soars as the sparrow hawk; Do either know what They're searching for? Are they happy? I have a name, and a Body, and a purpose, I've Been told, one day I'll return And in that time, I must've gone and been Something great. My hands are filthy From tending my garden, And the weeds only return.. Why do I bother? Well, To feel the pleasures Of earth beneath my hands. To witness the snails Cosy amongst the bluebells, The worm poke out His curious head And bury himself Back beneath the soils. What about the moth That died before he flew; The woman without child, it's Such a shame, we say, The purpose of life Is to create more. Pay no mind, we say, To the cold hands that each Winter barely feed, Or the ecstatic joy Of the dog free in the grass, The pleasures of his wild body. I say give much attention To the desires of your body, The sacred one, And to your inspiration, Maybe your guilt, The gentle voice of intuition. You can't deny the point of life. The one life only you Can control, your own, Mustn't fall through your grasp; Hold it dearly— Trust in yourself.

the reason I don’t write much even though I like writing, is the same reason I don’t sing much even though I like singing.
I don’t like the sound of my own voice.

I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word. Sometimes I write one, and I look at it, until it begins to shine.

Write! Do not let your hands or your heart become weary. There is always something at your core because always the fountain of your life flows. Close your eyes and look inside, know what lies within, the color of your heartbeat, the song of your silence, the depth of everything you hold true and dear. Taste it now, bring it from the deepest recesses to the light. Now fly, write, paint yourself on the page because you can, because it is your birthright. You are a poet of the soul eternal.
e.v.e.

WHY DO I?
On the outside I look fine My toxins reside within I can't let people see it because I have this need to be perceived as someone who always wins Shaming myself daily for thing's out of my control Why do I hate on myself so much? Why can't I forgive my own soul? ~BX

[Transcript of a conversation on Bluesky]
K.B. Spangler @kbspangler.com
One holdover that's stuck with me from Trump's term in office is how few people actually call in. My congressman's office said they were BOGGLED at how many calls they had gotten on a particular issue, so I asked how many...
They replied, "Seventeen."
jamie quinn 🏳️‍⚧️ @threnody.bsky.social KOSA is moving through the senate right now, where it has significant support. but nothing's final until it's final. if your senator's a democrat, call & email. use this script. it's timed to 1:00 and it won't take long. even with enforcement moved to the FTC, this bill is too easily weaponized.
[Embedded Text Image Transcript]
My name is _ and I'm one of your constituents. I'm calling to urge you to vote NO on KOSA - the Kids Online Safety Act. The bill's sponsors claim it will protect kids by placing a duty of care on online platforms to prevent anything that could be harmful.
The power to decide what's harmful has been ceded to the FTC. FTC leadership is made by presidential appointment. Current president Lina Khan may proceed fairly, but what happens when the next Donald Trump is in the Oval Office? What if it's Trum himself? Do you trust a Trump appointee not to abuse this enforcement power?
KOSA claims to protect kids, but it's poorly designed and, given time, it will absolutely and without question, harm LGBTQ children, adults, and anyone who needs information on reproductive health or abortion.
KOSA author, Senator Marsha Blackburn, said she introduced KOSA in part - and I quote - "to protect minor children from the transgender in our society." The Heritage Foundation proudly said they'll apply pressure through KOSA to block information about abortion, reproductive health, & LGBTQ issues.
Vote NO on KOSA.

So, yes, your voice does make a difference because if everyone else is thinking "Well, my voice doesn't matter so why bother" then you and sixteen of your online buddies can go ahead and straight-up boggle a congressman.

Seen a couple posts on the dashboard lately about writing with ADHD. So, for the ADHD and neurodivergent folks who like writing but struggle sometimes... check out StimuWrite.
You can set it to make little sounds as you type (or leave them off), and emojis pop up in the corner. You can change the background, dark and light themes, set your word goal, and it gives you a percentage and total word count at the bottom. Though it’s more meant for getting a draft written up, so it doesn’t have spell check or anything like that. You’re meant to just copy and past what you write here into Google Docs or Word or Scrivener or whatever else you use and go from there. Honestly love it when I'm struggling to get words down, though. And apparently there’s an update now for StimuWrite 2?👀
Anyways, give it a try if it looks like it may help. It’s currently name-your-own-price.

Normalize seeing someone's lack of effort as their lack of interest in you regardless of what they tell you. Giving you all of the right words, but none of the right actions is called manipulation. When a person wants to be with you, they prove it.

To all my writers who have a tough time with smut terms and not knowing which ones to use, I have found the holy grail for us.
This reddit user, who I've recently found out is @kjscottwrites here on tumblr, took a poll of 3,500 people and went really in depth with asking their favorite terminology, along with actual pie charts on what the readers preferred to see in their smut.
Check out their post with the link to the Google doc here!

i love studying. i love writing. i love reading. i love learning languages. i love doing mathematics. i love wandering over some particular sum and trying to come up with formulas to solve it. i love physics. i love biology. i love chemistry. i love history. i love literature. i love learning.
not to achieve the perfect grades ever. but it just amazes me that there's so much to know and learn and write and read about in the universe. my curiosity wouldn't get enough of it.
