I have 5 minutes to get out the door for a class that only happens once every year. I’ve already missed it once last year.

What does my 3 yr old daughter do right before the baby sitter arrives?

She flings handfuls of flour all over everything.

One day I will write a book about her. It will be glorious.

Underlined PSA

Figment, the recently closed writing website, has just launched (after a long delay) their long-awaited successor to figment known as Underlined, where users can post their work and receive feedback, supposedly.

DO NOT USE UNDERLINED. DO NOT POST YOUR WORK ON UNDERLINED.

Underlined’s terms and conditions contains a clause stating that the rights to all your work that you post on their website belongs to them!!!!

Underlined belongs to Penguin Random House. This is an extremely dirty trick for them to play on writers, especially young writers and children, who come to the internet to get feedback and will lose the rights to their work. Please boost!!!

For my writing friends looking for an online writing community, DO NOT USE Underlined. 

I went to confirm @greater-than-the-sword‘s post, because seriously publishers are still pulling this garbage?  And yes, they are.  If you want to check out the full terms and conditions, have at it.  They are full of writers’ nightmares, a few of which I’ll highlight under the cut.

Keep reading

Be aware guys

As someone who used to use Figment, I would really strongly recommend NOT using Underlined. DO NOT USE Underlined.

Who told you that goddesses were thin?

alethiometrix:

Brighid keeps the cows,

And cows are heavy work—

She’s all shoulders, hips, and thighs,

Strong for the lifting.

Her heart remembers the son she keened for,

And so does her belly.

 –

Stretch marks strike across Hera’s skin,

Lightning tattoos,

Fitting symbols of eternal loyalty.

Forever marked a wife, a mother,

Not a marble statue.

– 

On the shores of her birthplace,

Aphrodite comes up dripping,

Breasts heavy, hips rolling like waves.

In Mauritania she overflows:

Fat (no hiding from that word,

No shame)

Cascades from her arms,

Rolls over her middle,

Puckers her thighs.

On every beach she has cellulite—

She is goddess of beauty,

Not goddess of the impossible.

Everywhere, she is adored.

 –

Inanna, Queen of Heaven,

Feels no need to diminish herself

When the entire sky is hers to occupy.

Please bless me with another chapter of the straw saga. Im having withdrawal! 😭😭

I was working on it earlier this evening but this bitch got sleepy. But hopefully soon! Definitely this weekend.

Okay… I might’ve lied but legit I’ve been working so hard on it. There’s way more words coming out than I thought and I don’t wanna post something unfinished so just bare with me guys.

I so sorry!

Deep breaths! Take your time! You’ve got this!
