Anyone else ever hit that level of depression, where you aren't sad or angry or anything you are just bored. Nothing excites you and everything just feels pointlessly the same?

There is a reason they framed it as "descended from a slave owner" as though her family owned slaves, rather than the truth of her ancestor was raped by a slave owner.
Just queried an agent who had THIS question on their form:
What is one special item you would bring with you on a spaceship? (required)
That is a required question. I get that some agents want to come across as fun but the process is BRUTAL for writers and this doesn't help.
When a Beta Reader or Editor says a scene in your book is unrealistic because of how cruel it is and would never happen in real life...but that scene is a real-life memory from your 8th birthday.
So I just got a rejection from an agent I don't remember querying. It didn't even show on my QT list that I ever Queried that agent.
Why? Because that query was sent THREE YEARS AGO.

The irony of him asking for a PlayStation since he constantly says video games are for losers.
And of course, he wants a haircut, the world can see he isn't "bald by choice" like he claims.
Agent: I am looking for adult horror.
Me: Here is my book it's adult horror.
Agent: Yeah this isn't what I am looking for.
Me: Why?
Agent: I am really only looking for YA fantasy right now.
EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
So I got one of the shortest rejections today.
"I'm going to pass, good luck finding an agent."
Sigh...this is their form rejection that they send to everyone and I know that it's probably not intentional but it sounds condescending as hell.

The best bit is that in 1993 Scarlett Johanssen was 9. This picture is from The Black Dahlia in 2006...when she was 22 and is set in 1947.
The second picture is a Ralph Lauren men's wear ad from 1984.

Medicine isn't just gender bias is also racially biased. African American people are less likely to be prescribed opiates than white people because "Blacks are genetically prone to addiction".
Yes actual medical schools in the US STILL teach this.
@ask_aubry
This is ironic given that she is simping for a demographic of men that will have nothing to do with her because she isn't a 16-year-old girl, and believes that women lose value as they age.

Well, the issue is that landlords try to make a big deal about how much they "contribute" trying to make themselves seem like exploited victims being taken advantage of by renters when in reality they do very little and are up to their ears in debt that renters pay off.
Me: I hate this new form rejection where agents claim they "don't connect with the MS".
Editor: You realize that most agents are spoiled city kids living in NYC and your books are about regular people living in rural America. They can't "connect" to anything outside their clique

Can we just admit that "West Coast" is code for "liberal aka women who aren't oppressed by conservative religious cult members" and they just don't like any woman they can't control?
I sent my last Query today. Aside from one or two agents who are currently closed, I have sent queries for my WIP to EVERY agent who lists my genre(over 200+), and not a single one has bothered to read my book. The industry is just too broken for anyone to hope to succeed. I quit
Holy crap, not only did I finally get an agent for my Pitch query, it's an agent I have been waiting for months to query(she has been closed) so fingers crossed. I am so happy I might not have to drink to numb the pain.
Remember to keep your pitches up for agents to look through
So...yeah that just happened...I am really confused by this industry.
I can't get an agent to so much as piss on my work despite following all their rules, but a small Press sees my old mood pitch from last year and asks me to submit my query to them.

In Christian mythology, there are 13, and she is mixing religions, as Baal and Baphomet are not from Juedo Christian mythology. And Leviathan is a dragon(not demon) mentioned in the book of Job.

The company you know as VW today was founded in 1948 by Major Ivan Hirst British Army Officer, as part of the British intervention to rebuild the German Auto industry.
It has nothing to do with the VW company founded by the Nazis that was dismantled by the german people in 1945.

"For decades no network would touch...“Mr. Birchum” for fear of offending the wrong people."
During that time they made Family Guy, South Park, Brickle Berry/Paradise PD/Farzar, and other irreverent shows.
This show was passed over for being generic boring and badly written.

This happened when Netflix became the first streaming service. Piracy took a massive drop, until Streaming turned into Cable 2.0, and Piracy went back up.
Agent response to my post: We don't like what you posted!
Me: So you are going to change how you do things and give everyone a fair shot?
AR: No we are going to block you and tell everyone to block you and make sure no agents read your queries.
Me: That sounds about right

Dan Crenshaw only started wearing the eye patch BECAUSE people didn't notice his glass eye. People couldn't SEE his injury so he couldn't play up his injured vet angle.

1900s Women: Oh wow I'm pregnant but I need to drink, smoke, and take tons of drugs(Xanac and thalidomide) just to get through my hard day of being a housewife and my husband beating me.

But that was not until the roughly 500s and didn't enter into Christian general dogma until Dante's Inferno and Paradise Lost. Pure inventions and assimilations by the Church of other religions in order to conquer the peoples of Europe.

Nickelodeon would like a word...
No, they are not "trying to make a model" they are trying to turn their kids into passive income and exploit them.
The world of child entertainers has its roots in child sex trafficking and is STILL to this day: selling kids.

Shin Chan is one of those series that continues to baffle me. It was great but its also one of the shows I point to when people say you can't make irreverent cartoons these days,
Also Funimation had a hate boner on for abridged content...given that their ShinChan was an abridge.

That was Edmund Burke's whole philosophy behind the modern Conservative movement of the 1700s. "Pick me" hard enough and simp for the rich and maybe they will let you their house pet instead of their field slaves.

It's absolutely exploitation, and no the kids do NOT enjoy it. This isn't new and has existed before social media and the internet.
No, I don't use Instagram.
And admitting you use Instagram to perv on kids is not the flex you seem to think it is.

If I have a daughter I will raise her like a princess, a warrior princess. She will wear battle braids and see Nice Guys for the scumbags they are. She will slay her own dragons and rescue her own princess, or slay princesses and rescue dragons, whatever she is into.

Speaking as someone who was a model. No. You can not compare actual modeling with what child stars and careers are. That alone is a form of child slavery and really bad for kids.
6 years ago SMP released stats showing the largest base for "mommy influencers" are pedophiles.

S&W isn't pandering to the Proud Boys...they are just knowingly advertising for an apparel brand that purposely started making these shirts to pander to the Proud Boys after Fred Perry stopped making their polos because the Proud Boys used them as uniforms.

Hated by Elites? Tate was an Elite from the Elites.

Falsely accused? He POSTED PICTURES online and bragged about it.

No Cory doesn't this is a lie that his ex exposed as a lie. He tried to assault his Ex when she out lifed him,
Basically, Cory harasses women online whenever they mention ball kicking because he lost his testicles when a 9 year old hospitalized him with a kick to the nuts.
@ask_aubry
That is just not how any of that works.
Also clearly he has NEVER had sex with a woman because NO we can not feel if a woman has anything in her intestines, mainly because those are nowhere near the vagina, nor can we feel if there is feces in the rectum.
@ask_aubry
By feminine he means bimbo sexbots. Don't get me wrong I would crash those CPUs, but not all female characters need to be feminine and what he is considering "Feminine" is just blatantly sexual.

"I worked with" on Twitter is always 100% a red flag that you are just making shit up.
