I (26f) went to AZ with my bf (231m) to meet his aunt. To be clear, I didn’t know he was 231 or that:
-he was an alien
-a king
-his best friend was his ex
-I would wind up on his world solving all their problems.

AITA for not wanting to save his planet?

@Z3R0Gravitas @kate_the_purple Yes - immediately buzzes until it drops below (which can sometimes make it harder to get it down to the correct levels, but very helpful broadly)

[Meade reads (and writes!) @WR1TERatLarge]

@Z3R0Gravitas @kate_the_purple After a lot of looking into it, I decided my oura wasn't going to give me what I need. The only option that I found is getting a fitbit (versa 3) and downloading the 'alertme' app which you can set to go off at any hr. It's been a massive reduction in mental load.

@pamelarbishop Ugh, I'm so sorry. As an avid game person before covid, it is so horrible not to have the energy or brain power to play. I hope it improves for you.

[Meade reads (and writes!) @WR1TERatLarge]

Me too, please!

[Dianna Cowern @thephysicsgirl]

When I am better, I would like to be invited to everything, thanks.

Your uncle’s banjo performance? Count me in. Your nephew’s Bar mitzvah? I’m there.

Don’t worry, you have a couple years to get your invitations ready.

@chydorina When I have to be out and about, but also able to hear and talk to people, I find noise reducing ear plugs to be very helpful.

[Chalk Scribblers @ChalkScribes]

@LongCovidNews And even when they do believe you, spending time explaining what it means is just too much. And it's so hard for people to comprehend if you don't have it, even once explained.

[Chalk Scribblers @ChalkScribes]

Two days to go before Eugenia Triantafyllou @FoxesandRoses introduces herself with a reading and then tells us all about her writing. Guaranteed to fascinate anyone with a soul.

@DreamingTheMind So glad to hear you're on the road to recovery!

[Meade reads (and writes!) @WR1TERatLarge]

@AlisonAshwell @LongCovidNews Definitely the same for me!

[Meade reads (and writes!) @WR1TERatLarge]

@DreamingTheMind I got one early on in my long covid adventure because I read that for lots of people it can get rid of long covid. It knocked me way down. I've not recovered still.

I still would have gotten it knowing what we know. Always have to hope.

But no more for me unless I need to!

[Chalk Scribblers @ChalkScribes]

Do you need more fantastical darkness in your life? Next Wed, Eugenia Triantafyllou @FoxesandRoses will bring it to us online by talking about crafting and publishing her deliciously dark stories. Join us if you dare.

Struggling to figure out why your story isn’t landing with readers? Consider if the stakes are high enough. Stakes are key to making the reader care about the events of the story.

Here are 3 ways to raise the stakes & instantly make your story more compelling (an #amwriting 🧵):

@askamycollins Oh my goodness! I'm glad you're safe.
