So the subplot of Holes is that Kate Barlow deals with the politically-sanctioned execution of her black boyfriend—who unlawfully kissed a white woman who was in love with him!!!—by becoming a serial killer who targets racist/sexist white dudes who harassed her, were rejected, then went after her boyfriend as revenge from the depths of the “friend zone”.

Go off Louis Sachar, let em know!

Don’t forget the main plot was a damning satire of the brokenness and inherent racism of the American justice and prison systems! Louis Sachar does not fuck about

OH MY GOD whyyyy did no one tell me you’re supposed to send thank-yous after interviews?? Why would I do that???

“Thank you for this incredibly stressful 30 minutes that I have had to re-structure my entire day around and which will give me anxiety poos for the next 24 hours.”

I HATE ETIQUETTE IT’S THE MOST IMPOSSIBLE THING FOR ME TO LEARN WITHOUT SOMEONE DIRECTLY TELLING ME THIS SHIT

NO ONE TOLD YOU???? WTF! I HAVE FAILED YOU. Also: Dear ______: Thank you so much for the opportunity to sit down with you (&________) to discuss the [insert job position]. I am grateful to be considered for the position. I think I will be a great fit at [company name], especially given my experience in __________. [insert possible reference to something you talked about, something that excited you.] I look forward to hearing from you [and if you are feeling super confident: and working together in the future]. Sincerely, @mellivorinae

THIS IS A LIFESAVING TEMPLATE

YOU ARE WELCOME

@quirkyquills

You can start with a template like that, but a big part of the follow-up letter is to either ask a question based on something you heard in the interview, or clarify something you said. In either case you’re meant to keep it short. Something like “you said that you encourage employees to eventually try to get certified. Since that’s something I would want to pursue, do you mean ____ certification?” or “I mentioned that I have experience using photoshop. I thought I should mention I also have experience using Clip Studio Paint”.

The follow-up letter isn’t just a formality, it’s a way to show that you retained information from the interview. It says “Not only am I eager, I paid enough attention that I can formulate a question or give additional information”.

That’s the useful information they get from it - that you’re eager and you took the interview seriously enough to remember it afterward.

Raise your hand if you’re terrified of YouTubers playing Hiveswap, introducing it to preteens and undertale fans, therefore prompting them to read Homestuck, creating new fans and another few years of toxicity, grey face paint, 7yP1Ng QU1RK2, shipping discourse, and bucket jokes.

Are you afraid of new people getting into the Fandom and being ‘cringey’ and bad? Then promise to yourself that you will try to teach these new people how not to be asses to others and help them when they make Cosplay.

New people joining the Fandom and enjoying it should be a thing of joy. No Homestuck veteran should hide in fear of the ‘cringey Homestuck fan’ coming back. First of all the concept of ‘cringe’ is awful and shouldn’t even exist, let young people be creative and have their pink and black and rainbow blooded OCs and silly fun with each other. And the actual hurtful things like not sealing paint or being dicks to each other over ships? We can help. We can avoid things going too far or becoming too toxic.

Let’s give it our best as a Fandom and not let this be a bad thing for anyone.
