Certain delis will sell prepared food covered by EBT but it’ll be cold. Just refrigerated to the point that you can’t eat it outright. Like a pre cooked spaghetti dinner with sauce on it. Hard potatoes wedges with chicken strips. Some of the EBT conditions seem spiteful. Unless you have an oven or microwave it’s not a good value. (WIC restrictions also seem weird too. But that’s another conversation. )

**Using the word ‘said’ is absolutely not a bad choice, and in fact, you will want to use it for at least 40% of all your dialogue tags. Using other words can be great, especially for description and showing emotion, but used in excess can take away or distract from the story.

Happy Writing :)
Fanfic is a good and healthy part of creative storytelling.
However some of you are depriving the world of great art. Simple because you’re busy working within the copyright of existing art.
This is coming from someone that used to spend years writing fanfic before officially publishing original fiction.
Please publish your own work too. It’s scary but you’ll be better off for it. Especially when your original story starts getting love too.
Nobody knew they needed certain story worlds until someone took the chance and started a new one.
You can still write your fanfics but don’t miss your true calling.
Bit weird that all the villains are kinky and the “good guys” are vanilla in the boys.
My breath ragged and my legs shaking as I struggle to keep standing with one arm on the shower wall:
“Are we done here?”
The 3 blade razor I bought from the dollar store:
“Not even close.”

Rant related to Doctor who
I actually miss Peter Capaldi. He immediately got backlash from the chronically online tourist fans for “being old”. But it’s the doctor. He’s already old. If anything him not hiding behind a young face anymore was some serious series character development.
Him regenerating into a young lady and then a young man afterwards seemed to be going backwards on this journey.
We still could have had a black doctor and a lady doctor but did they have to be young? I don’t think so. Yes I understand acting talent and all that but I’m sure they could have found someone.
People are obsessed with not aging and trying to stay perpetually young. If anything the doctor deciding to stop hiding from his age would be a defining character moment. Yes yes I understand “sexy doctor moment” and all that. But some of the sexiest moments from the doctor is when he’s showing off his empathy and thinking on his feet intelligence.
Doctor who tourists are usually drawn to stay longer than a regeneration with these moments.
But most important of all:
(Why is no one addressing the weird optical illusion that happened in the 14th doctor’s second picture. I’m so serious.)

Rewatching gravity falls since the first time it aired. Lots of setup in this series. Even season 1 did that well. Very impressive. If the series came back I would want Dipper to own the shack as an older man.
Being a writer is writing your story the way you want and then that one character insists on a different outcome. So you change that scene but then another character complains too. Now you have to decide what to smother and what to allow! That is so hard to do.
If this isn’t satire very good decision.
If you could call any show "The greatest show ever made" what would it be?
