Sooo tiktok is back, but since its a ploy to get gen z to try and ride trumps little small dick I aint buyin it and neither should you. Trump plans on having mass deportations starting in Chicago, Illinois and New york. He isnt a good guy and hes not on your side. Hes not there to help you, your friends, or your family. Unless you’re a rich white billionaire. Please stay informed, and stay as safe as you possibly can. Its only the start of year.
I had thought about if Luffy had recruited the Strawhats in a different order and they got to see different crewmates origins/events leading up to becoming pirates, and well-
Zoro's whole first-meeting ordeal might have left a different first-impression with Sanji
THIS AU PLEASE
The sheriff of Butler County, Ohio, one Richard K. Jones, who gives “Yosemite Sam meets diabeetus,” legit wrote a letter to DJT — cc’d to Elon, no less — saying that immigration visas were “too confusing” for local law enforcement.
Then held a Facebook Live/press conference to… apparently brag about how unintelligent he thinks law enforcement is.
“Sheriff Richard K. Jones reports a letter has been written to President Donald J. Trump imploring him to modify the current language on immigration visas to make them more comprehensible to law enforcement personnel. “There’s roughly one-hundred and eighty-five different visas in this country, and too many interpretations of which one means what. Just too confusing,” states Sheriff Jones.” Butler County Sherrif’s Office Press Release
Dear Mr. President, In the recent months I have grown concerned with the substantial number of visas that are being disseminated in our country and the perplexity that these visas may have on our law enforcement. With roughly one hundred and eighty-five different visas in this country the verbiage in these documents may be confusing to ICE agents as well as our law enforcement as a whole. While ICE enforces immigration laws within the United States, as you know, the process of issuing visas fall under the U.S. Department of State. ICE agents or local law enforcement may not always have the knowledge concerning the specific nuances of different visa types. As a six term Sheriff, voted in by the citizens of Butler County, Ohio, I implore you to modify these visas to more simplified, comprehensible categories to alleviate any confusion moving forward.
Of course, behind the cringe is the simple fact that we’re looking at a bully who is so unintelligent that he has to ask who the “bad guys” are. A bully who knows who the bigger bullies are, and thinks that there is absolutely nothing wrong with displaying both his lack of intelligence and his willingness to bully others to the public at large.
And judging by the comments on his post, he’s sadly right. via ideatrash
Orion!!!!!
Today, I am overwhelmed with despair 😔
I want to say thanks for every support, but the donations have been minimal, and my family's need is urgent ‼️🙏🏻
We are currently in a critical situation—if we can just make it through this phase, things may improve 🕊️
I want to remind you that my husband is in the north, and I am alone with my children in the south 😔
Communication is bad; the last time I spoke with him, he described the situation as catastrophic and stressed the need for significant improvements as a first step 🙏🏻
I sincerely hope that my family will never be left to face this struggle alone after everything we've endured 😩
Your contributions are what can help reunite us in a safe and livable place 🕊️
I urge everyone to donate, no matter how small, or at the very least, amplify our plea by sharing and engaging with our message 🙏🏻
Please don't abandon us— we are utterly exhausted 😔
🌟 Our campaign is vetted by 🇵🇸 @/gazavetters List at #291

We’ve all got our comfort words—those trusty adjectives, verbs, or phrases we lean on like a crutch. But when certain words show up too often, they lose their impact, leaving your writing feeling repetitive or uninspired.
1. “Very” and Its Cousins
Why It’s Overused: It’s easy to tack on “very” for emphasis, but it’s vague and doesn’t pull its weight.
Instead of: “She was very tired.” Try: “She was exhausted.” / “She dragged her feet like lead weights.”
💡 Tip: Use precise, vivid descriptions rather than vague intensifiers.
2. “Looked” and “Saw”
Why It’s Overused: It’s functional but flat, and it often tells instead of shows.
Instead of: “He looked at her in disbelief.” Try: “His eyebrows shot up, his lips parting as if words had failed him.”
💡 Tip: Focus on body language or sensory details instead of relying on generic verbs.
3. “Suddenly”
Why It’s Overused: It’s often used to create surprise, but it tells readers how to feel instead of letting the scene deliver the shock.
Instead of: “Suddenly, the door slammed shut.” Try: “The door slammed shut, the sound ricocheting through the empty room.”
💡 Tip: Let the action or pacing create urgency without needing to announce it.
4. “Said” (When Overdone or Misused)
Why It’s Overused: While “said” is often invisible and functional, using it in every dialogue tag can feel robotic.
Instead of: “I can’t believe it,” she said. “Me neither,” he said. Try: Replace with an action: “I can’t believe it.” She ran a hand through her hair, pacing. “Me neither.” He leaned against the counter, arms crossed.
💡 Tip: Don’t ditch “said” entirely; just mix it up with context clues or action beats.
5. “Felt”
Why It’s Overused: It’s a shortcut that tells instead of showing emotions.
Instead of: “She felt nervous.” Try: “Her palms slicked with sweat, and she couldn’t stop her leg from bouncing.”
💡 Tip: Let readers infer emotions through sensory details or behavior.
6. “Really” and “Actually”
Why It’s Overused: They add little to your sentences and can dilute the impact of stronger words.
Instead of: “I really don’t think that’s a good idea.” Try: “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
💡 Tip: If a sentence works without these words, cut them.
7. “Walked” or “Ran”
Why It’s Overused: These are go-to movement words, but they can feel bland when used repeatedly.
Instead of: “He walked into the room.” Try: “He strolled in like he owned the place.” / “He shuffled in, avoiding everyone’s eyes.”
💡 Tip: Use verbs that convey mood, speed, or attitude.
8. “Just”
Why It’s Overused: It sneaks into sentences unnecessarily, weakening your prose.
Instead of: “I just wanted to say I’m sorry.” Try: “I wanted to say I’m sorry.”
💡 Tip: Delete “just” unless it adds essential nuance.
9. “Thought”
Why It’s Overused: It tells readers what a character is thinking instead of showing it through internal dialogue or action.
Instead of: “She thought he might be lying.” Try: “His story didn’t add up. The timelines didn’t match, and he wouldn’t meet her eyes.”
💡 Tip: Immerse readers in the character’s perspective without announcing their thoughts.
10. “Nice” and Other Vague Adjectives
Why It’s Overused: It’s generic and doesn’t give readers a clear picture.
Instead of: “He was a nice guy.” Try: “He always remembered her coffee order and held the door open, even when his arms were full.”
💡 Tip: Show qualities through actions instead of relying on vague descriptors.
Final Tips for Avoiding Overused Words:
1. Use a thesaurus wisely: Swap overused words for synonyms, but stay true to your character’s voice and the scene’s tone.
2. Read your work aloud: You’ll catch repetitive patterns and clunky phrases more easily.
3. Edit in layers: Focus on eliminating overused words during your second or third pass, not your first draft.
