Despite the odds, I managed to squeeze out 1,547 words. Now I'm having a bout of the ol' gastroparesis so I'm gonna crash. But hell yeah for achieving a little something today. #writing #writingcommunity #wip

Should I try writing or just let this heat consume me? #writingcommunity

Last night, I found something my ex had bought me and hidden high up on a shelf in a cupboard we never used. It's shaken me. But it's also a relief to know I hadn't invented the version of him that was good and did kind things. He was really in there somewhere. #dvsurvivor

Yeah, nothing's getting done today. Just gonna sit here uselessly and wait for someone to call and tell me it's all sorted. Fingers crosses they call me today

Currently 46,000~ words into my ya love triangle project. I'm getting real close to the business end. Just two in-universe weeks to go before shit hits the fan. Love this for me. #writing #wip #writingcommunity

Today's the day I get the restraining order against my ex confirmed in court. The hearing is still a few hours away. I'm gonna be in self care mode all day. I'm going to try and get some #writing in before the anxiety really takes hold. #writer #dvsurvivor #writingcommunity

Hello #writingcommunity I'm going to try and write a little bit before dinner. An easy, after work goal of 200. Let's see how it goes. #writing #writer

The internet is not providing me with sufficient dopamine today. Time to go insane.

It does also bring me profound joy knowing the United Australia Party is once again being yeeted out of existence. Time is a circle. #auspol

Based on a cursory glance at what #Dutton supporters say about him on socials, it seems they don't have a clear grasp on what his policies are. So 1. Accessing super early = bad 2. He votes against housing affordability 3. He isn't anti immigration Hope that helps! #auspol

Protests across the US? Hell yes.

Today's word count so far is 3,475. Been writing most of the day. Too tired to do much else. I realised that I managed to write my grandparents and their house (both gone) into my story, almost verbatim. Lucky they aren't here to take it personally 🩷 #writer #writing #wip

My ex was in my dream last night. He shoved me up against a wall. But he was also going bald. A fear he always had. Karma came straight for his scalp, girlie pops. Let's manifest. #dvsurvivor

I escaped an abusive relationship 3 months ago and when I tell you that my menstrual cycle is STILL out of whack since that day... The trauma still lives on in my body. I'm reminded of it every time I bleed. #dvsurvivor #dvawareness

Enough ranting about fem hate on tiktok. Time to get back to writing my ya fic where two #feminine #lesbians fall in love. Because people are allowed to be both of those things at the same time. 🩷🧑🀍 #writer #writing #wip

And ofc all the comments agreeing were specifically bagging out #femininity #fem and #femme #lesbians.

To be clear, they didn't mean they don't respect #lesbians who adhere to gender roles or impose them on #wlw partners. I watched it several times. They meant masculinity/femininity as literal concepts. They're made up, and if you're living outside of het, you can't use them.

I will pay cash money to stop seeing the verbal queefs that pass for #Queer Discourse on Tiktok. I just watched a vid of a young #wlw say she can't respect a #lesbian who thinks masculinity/femininity exist. As if masc/fem aren't widely used wlw identifiers. Go outside???

Might get back to writing after dinner. If anyone wants to play along at home. I've reached a part in my ya fic that I'm quite excited about. But I'm also SO TIRED. so we'll see πŸ˜… #writersky

i don't think i could sleep if there was a funko pop in the room with me

Today's thesis wc update- Word count: 654/500 Set myself 1 hr to hit my goal. Spent part of it raging at MS word for changing my font + spacing midway through a document. Stop trying to force aptos on me. This is a threat. #writing #writer #wip #thesis

Committing it to the sky: Today I need to write 500 words of my thesis AND get some research in. Unfortunately that also involves sending An Email. Offer me your thoughts and prayers during this challenging time, tysm πŸ™ #writer #writing #wip #thesis

Woke up at 3.30am, put on a load of laundry, cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher. Fell back asleep around 5am. Woke up again at 8.30 and now I have to deal with all that housework 4am me committed to. Smhhhhhh. Can a bitch not just rest???

Damn ok yeah. Ok hell yeah. I said to myself "hm, lets shoot for 750 words today. Lets try our best". And my best was an even 1800. Goddamn. Damn. Sometimes she does blow herself away. πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ» #writing #writer #wip #thesis

The L has been copped. Word goal: 360/750 I got too distracted trying to find my notes on one tiny little niche thing that I neglected writing. My B. There's still time in the day. I'll get there soon enough. #writing #writer #wip #thesis

First up: thesis! I'll give myself 1 hour, see how I go. Word Goal: 0/750 #writer #writing #thesis #wip

Writing goals for today: I missed my 500 word thesis goal yesterday bc of a meeting + CI flare straight after. Gonna aim for 750 today and tomorrow to compensate. I want to write 1000 words of my ya fic + get this chapter finished. It's Saturday, let's do it! #writing #writer #wip #goals

#chronicillness flaring so bad, I actually slept in. Taking the wins with the losses, I guess πŸ˜…

#peggysue endorses the legacy of settlement as a positive bc it reasserts a Euro/white supremacist view of #australianhistory and when he stands by Israel + Trump on Gaza, we should see it for the white supremacy it is. PS believes whites have a right to colonise. Bc he's a nazi.

The Liberal party notoriously criticised these movements bc they did not believe white Australians should feel guilt for colonisation. They (mostly) backed Howard's view of aus history that settlement should be 1. Celebrated or 2. Ignored. Thats why they love 26 jan sm. #auspol #aushistory

But Indigenous people didnt stop their activism. Deaths in custody. 1997 Bringing Them Home report. Walk for Reconciliation movement. The 2008 apology. 2016 Uluru Statement. Takes us to the Voice referendum. All of these emphasised colonisation caused harm. #auspol #australianhistory

Howard's solution to division was to make ANZAC the centrepoint of Aus history, flooding us w events and public monuments so we could unite as a nation under the ANZAC legend. That's why you know more about Gallipoli than any other event in Aus history #auspol #australianhistory

JH said Australian settlement was a net positive and anyone who argued otherwise wanted Aussies to feel guilty. He called them "black armbandists". This period of Aus discourse saw more Aussies believe in frontier warfare + genocide. It divided white Australians. #auspol #Australianhistory

To cliffnote the History Wars of the 1990s-2000s, historians debated if the colonial frontier was violent/ genocidal. The argument leached into mainstream discourse, particularly bc of a speech John Howard gave. #auspol #australianhistory #historysky

When he argued against a voice to parliament for Indigenous Australians, his main talking point was that it would divide Australians. He meant white Australians. This was a dog whistle. The division he was talking about was the history wars. #peggysue #auspol

Peggy Sue has to be seen to endorse Israel and Trump's plans for the Gaza strip bc he believes settler-colonialism is a good thing. A thread 🧡 #peggysue #auspol

Whateverrr, let's get some writing in before responsibilities hit. I'm about halfway through my YA fic rewrite. Finally getting to the business end of things. The will-they-wont-they plot is willening. #writer #writing #wip #writersky

This morning I got to sleep soooo late. I woke up at 5.40am! πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„ No, but seriously this whole deal of being jolted awake at 5am every morning by my own body clock sitch is garbage. Wth.

🚫Sexuality cancelled🚫 Mum said I can't be gay bc I would have been too repulsed to let a man touch me of I was. The nuance of comphet and coersion seem to be lost on her. #wlw #lgbt #lgbtq #lesbian #origuessnot

Girls, are we writing today? Are we making proud the ancestors we have who were denied access to literacy and education because of their gender? Or are we rotting in bed watching netflix? πŸ‘€ #writer #writing #writersky #booksky
