In 2019
I will not apologize for who I am. I will not soften myself to make my existence easier for you to swallow. I will live and I will be happy because they dont want to see me happy.

me: okay time to jump into the action scene
me: don’t say it
me: don’t say it
me: don’t say it
me: don’t say it
me: don’t say it
me: don’t say it
me: don’t say it
me: don’t say it
me: … “SUDDENLY”
My go-to fixes for this:
- but before [Character] could [verb], ACTION!
- [Character] was about to [verb] when ACTION!
- but no sooner had [something] than ACTION!
- but just as [something boring], ACTION!
- BANG!/CRASH!/BOOM! ACTION!
- “Character dialogue starting some sentence about–” ACTION!
- Character’s internal monologue starting some sent– ACTION!
- Narrator starting some– ACTION!
- … ACTION!
Why extend your readers the courtesy of a ‘suddenly’ except to vary sentence structure?

And so many white people were in her mentions saying “well he shouldn’t have a MacBook” as if this is a fucking Mac vs Windows joke
Fuck the police and fuck the white people who think this is a joke. We can literally be killed over ANYTHING
Police need to be held accountable for their actions.
