The Crocodile Hunter style of writing involves chasing after cool-looking ideas that wander by and tackling them into submission.
I don’t recommend it for the long-term because it’s exhausting, but if there isn’t at least a LITTLE bit of Crocodile Hunter in your writing, I’m probably not going to read it.
Actually, I think by this sort of model I’m the crazy accidental rehabber.
You know, the one who seems like a normal person until you visit her house and realize she’s got things in there there’s no WAY are legal to keep as pets, as well as a house (which she had designed, pulling out most of the bottom floor and adding an extension) full of the more domestic types which are mostly well trained.
Mostly.
Plus the man-killer in the backyard she insists is an old softie really, plus the man-killer in the other half of the backyard that even she admits is a hell- beast.
And she didn’t really have room for that last rescue but it looked at her and was SO SAD, so she took it anyway.
…. Yep. That’s me.

#oh look an original post #based on a conversation I had this afternoon #though that particular instance didn’t mention romance #he just said stuff that was obviously dancing around ‘religion’ while maintaining plausible deniability #(he’s Catholic and he thinks I’m Jewish) #((*don’t* start in on not having to be capable of awe to be Jewish)) #((you don’t get to decide that Judaism should be important to me)) #(anyway that’s probably why he thought he ought to be super vague about it) #(because Christian normativity and/or supremacy is insulting) #(and implying that the best parts of life are things I’m not capable of is…not? somehow?)

Y’know people say shit about social media along the lines of ‘OMG no one cares what anyone had for breakfast’ and like.
I do? I care. I’m pretty sure a lot of people care. I want to hear that the people I care about are having delicious breakfasts or saw something odd at work or flirted with a cute barista. Or just any little thoughts they have that they feel are worth sharing.
I’ve always kind of assumed that’s how you’re supposed to feel about your friends.

#hmm #for the most part when I hold myself to overly high standards #they’re the same overly high standards by which I also judge everyone else #yet I feel bad about *making* such posts but like *reading* them #I think it’s a mixture of the same worry of being a cliche that makes me self-conscious about using my smartphone in public #and the worry of boring people or (for the more TMI stuff) making them uncomfortable
I don’t know anything about fortresses, but I could tell you about nuts.

Snakes are amazing! High five (/tail?) to all the snake fans. The species in this comic are gray-banded kingsnake, smooth greensnake, baby black racer, and timber rattlesnake. They’re not to scale vs the people – most are pretty small.

Make deals with the devil while you’re still a child. Contracts signed by minors aren’t legally binding and if satan tries to take your soul he can be prosecuted. Enjoy your perfect grades and lifetime supply of chocolate.
