I write fantasy sometimes. Read my stuff here: https://www.wattpad.com/user/guerrillarain or here: https://guerrillarain.blog
The fact that I can’t eat and sleep at the same time is pretty homophobic if you ask me :/ I mean it’s 2018
reminder if you're on the west coast that it's really almost 1AM, not midnight, because we lose an hour tonight. Take that into account ^,,^
so can we permanently ban TERFs from the world?
I've made a deliberate choice against a quoting feature because it inevitably adds toxicity to people's behaviours. You are tempted to quote when you should be replying, and so you speak at your audience instead of with the person you are talking to. It becomes performative. Even when doing it for "good" like ridiculing awful comments, you are giving awful comments more eyeballs that way. No quote toots. Thank's
@guerrillarain why is your tea cup dissing you?
@guerrillarain *cries into tea* drinks tears
I got a new tea cup. https://witches.town/media/_1I9TD--B-uPx_9tfhs
@guerrillarain i learned cursive Latin, but only "normal" Cyrillic
when writing long form text*, i fall back to cursive, and it looks a lot prettier than my hastily written block text — which actually tends to look butt ugly especially on forms where you're *have* to use it 😹

I did learn cursive. I think it's pretty, but ultimately pretty useless. I wish we'd spent time learning something more useful in school instead.
Like I said in my previous thread, I'm not saying white American cultural attitudes are at the core of most if not all of America's constant problems based solely on my experiences.
That is what the data says. That is what history says.
If one cannot acknowledge that basic history then we're going to have a problem. That's just how it is.
I am extremely reasonable person, but no I'm not going to take your feelings as credible fact. Because they're not.
After leaving school I rarely wrote with a pen. I just typed on keyboards. By that time I had a computer and a dot matrix printer, and the rest is history.
@guerrillarain ugh... up till 8th grade we were forced to write in cursive and lost points if we didn’t. even in math/algebra. i hated it so much that i just lost the points and printed neatly. i didn’t like it because it was too slow for me, and we moved to a new state and the new state’s handwriting rules were uglier than the previous. we had year long penmanship classes and they were my worst subject for grades.
i don’t mind reading it (usually), but i don’t write it. fuck that shit :)
@guerrillarain Cursive. It's how we are taught in school in France. But most people of my age seems to have switched to non-cursive after leaving elementary school.
@guerrillarain I did the cursive in school for a while, then I stopped.. never done it again
