“I Want A Relationship Where We Can Get Drunk At Midnight, Just The Two Of Us And Sit Up Talking And

Characters Bottling Emotions

@knightedwriter asked: “I have this character who gets into a stressful situation and has a history of emotional abuse. He bottles his emotions. I’m having a lot of trouble figuring out how he should respond to situations, especially as his stress builds and he starts to break. He’s not the POV character.” 

I’ve gotten similar questions more than a few times recently and I think there’s something to be said for characters who don’t wear their heart on their sleeves are harder to write about when it comes to showing emotion.

So the only all-bird rehab center in North Texas is about to shut down

I can’t even put into words how upset I am about this. Rogers Wildlife Rehabilitation has been open for almost twenty years, and is the only place in North Texas that takes in literally any type of bird if it’s been injured, orphaned, or otherwise incapacitated. They’re finally out of funds, and if they can’t come up with anything by April 2nd, they’re going to be forced to close their doors.

They’ve never turned away birds. Not when it’s a surprise 200 baby cattle egrets that’ve been orphaned because city planners thought they could cut down their homes and no one would notice. Not when it’s raptors with one good eye and in need of seven different antibiotics. Not even when it’s ducks that irresponsible parents won’t let their kids keep after easter. This is where anyone let me first get up close to birds. I mean, I’ve known I wanted to work with birds and wildlife since I was seven- I’m twenty four now, and halfway through an environmental science master’s and it’s a big reason I kept going.

I’ve been going to this place on and off for ten years, I was THIRTEEN when I started volunteering and seeing all the terrible things that happen to the birds that come in. Not just…hit by trucks, or caught in a hailstorm but parrots that have been left in foreclosed houses for weeks, and roosters that have come out of cock fighting rings and would otherwise be put down because the SPCA and humane societies don’t think they’re salvageable. There’s an emu that was raised there as a baby because no one wanted her. Her name’s Riley and I can’t even begin to comprehend what shutting the doors to the center would mean?

They don’t get government aid. They’ve been funded by the public donating and Kathy, the lady who owns the place, going through her retirement funds and savings and her social security to keep it running. She’s finally run out of money. Please,  just reblog? Even if you can’t donate anything- and I know it’s a lot to ask for poor teenage/college kids to donate money that they don’t have, or struggling artists I know but maybe someone who can spare something will see it eventually? They need $200,000 to keep open for a year to continue to help 4000 birds a year.

man what a brain barf

Hey, so, this might be an unpopular opinion, but no matter how bad the police are, anyway: Reform, not abolish.

A lot of people on Tumblr are talking about how awful the police are right now, and I'm not saying that no change needs to happen, but I recently saw a post outright calling to abolish the police force, and, well... That'd be a disaster. Guess who investigates when somebody's house is broken into? When somebody's pet is stolen, or somebody is kidnapped, or hell, in most cases, when somebody is hurt or killed? The police.

There definitely needs to be change. We need to change the way that police are trained all over the world, we need to fire all current police officers. But that's just to make way for a new era. And to prove it, I have a little ancedote for you all.

About a year ago, I (A 15 year old girl) was sexually abused and exploited by an older man online. I was 14 when I was coerced into sending nudes and doing sexual roleplay with this man for three months, and I had been groomed for two years prior. This man had a feeder/feedee kink, and my health still suffers for my unhealthy attitude towards food. I am hypersexual. June 22, 2020 is my one-year anniversary of getting out. Why am I telling you this?

Because the police helped.

They did what they could to find this pervert. They couldn't manage it, since he was in the USA and I live in the UK, but not for lack of trying. If there had been no police force to do that, I would be much further back in my recovery.

Granted, I might not fully understand. I am white. I'm not rich, but I'm not poor either (Well, my family is, anyway). I fully support the people protesting for their rights. I acknowledge that the police force needs to change. I acknowledge that police brutality exists. That the minorities that the police are abusing deserve better. But the way that people talk about the police, the military, and 'Bootlickers' really makes me nervous sometimes. We need a police force, in some capacity. Not the one we currently have, but something. So please: Call for reform, not abolishment.

Thanks.
