To be honest, both the sjw and the anti-sjw sides of tumblr need to realize that they could be wrong about some things, and need to be open-minded about other opinions and views that aren’t your own. There is nothing wrong with changing your mind and realizing you were wrong in the past.

It’s not even just that there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s that it is ESSENTIAL for making the world a better place.

When your followers have different beliefs than you but they still follow you

When your friends hold different beliefs than you, but you can respect one another and not ignore one another because of your differences

When you can follow people whose views are different than yours and not throw a hissy fit

Respect despite differing beliefs

Respect

When years go by and your views change for the better because of the mutual respect and discourse with your friends who hold different perspectives

Some advice for when you’re writing and find yourself stuck in the middle of a scene:

  • kill someone
  • ask this question: “What could go wrong?” and write exactly how it goes wrong
  • switch the POV from your current character to another – a minor character, the antagonist, anyone
  • stop writing whatever scene you’re struggling with and skip to the next one you want to write
  • write the ending
  • write a sex scene
  • use a scene prompt
  • use sentence starters
  • read someone else’s writing

Never delete. Never read what you’ve already written. Pass Go, collect your $200, and keep going.

This is the literal best writing advice I have ever read. Period.

Special note: “Kill someone” means kill someone in the story. Please do not kill random real life passers by every time you hit a block. My lawyer says misunderstanding writing advice is not an acceptable defense. See you all in 25 to 50 years.
