I'm hungover and somehow I still have to deal with other human beings instead of curling up into a little ball. This is terrible.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry. That sucks. :(

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks anon

In fairness I really have no one to blame but myself

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry to hear that.
It happens to the best of us. See:

Re: Whatcha doing today, FS?

Not much. Smoked a bowl, read a few chapters of the book I'm currently reading, watched the Oakland A's game. Gave my dog a bath. Pretty ho hum day.

Preparing for the next round of storms that are starting tonight. The flooding still hasn't gone down from the weekend ones so not looking great for people in the flood zone. I did buy some mini LED lamps so if the power goes out we can eat least navigate.

Dreading work tomorrow. My boss has been criticizing me A LOT lately and coming down really hard and I've been trying not to let it get to me but she said I was acting "butthurt" (her words) and we had a meeting yesterday and I cried. ;;; And she said she wanted me to stay if I wanted to stay and I do but wow, awkward. I'm going to try to act normal tomorrow but huge yikes.

Dealing with the second day of my period. Meh.

Recs Thread

[(Anonymous)]

After the finale, I've been wanting some Jaime/Brienne fic or art. Anybody got recs?

Re: Recs Thread

[tabaqui]

Astolat at AO3. They are such an amazing writing, I read all their Jaime/Brienne fic without even having a clue who they were.

Writing question about race

[(Anonymous)]

I'm writing a story and really want to include a character that's based on a real person that I really admire and respect. But he's black, I'm white, and I keep seeing all this "white people shouldn't write about characters who are anything but white because it's racist" and I really don't want to be racist or offend anyone.

Thoughts?

Re: Writing question about race

[(Anonymous)]

what the actual fuck. no, no...white people only doing white things is how you get racism. fuckin tumblr I swear to god...

there is something to be said about coopting a culture that isn't yours under the mistaken belief that you know everything about that culture from the outside (habits, traditions, language, community, religious practices, etc) but that doesn't sound at all like what you're talking about. writing that a character has a different skin color is just normal writing.

Re: Writing question about race

[silverr]

If it's still about, check out the writingwithcolor tumblr. Excellent, excellent advice.

Re: Writing question about race

[(Anonymous)]

TBH I've never seen that opinion from a non-troll.

My rule of thumb is - if you are not part of a marginalized group, yes you can/should include characters from that marginalized group, but don't write about the experience of marginalization you don't experience (unless you are prepared to do a ton of direct research and be very open to criticism)

Re: Writing question about race

[(Anonymous)]

I would say that there's something weirder about white people who only write white characters. Who knows why people get so fucking weird about this 'stay in your lane' shit.

Do research on the character, read books with black protagonists and books by black authors (and maybe ask a sensitivity reader for feedback when you finished writing) and you should be fine.

Re: Writing question about race

[(Anonymous)]

My rule is that I don't write about the experience of being black (or whatever marginalization I don't experience), but I write about characters who happen to be black (or whatever) doing cool shit.
