Fandoms stopped being a fun escape from reality when people started spreading the belief that you should prioritize purity over pleasure and the art you create must be a reflection of your moral standards at all times.

rakastan ku ei-suomalaisis teoksissa jollekki super badass mystiselle hahmolle on koitettu antaa joku sellanen hieno mysteerinen nimi ja sit se kuulostaa iha joltai keski ikäseltä suomalaisen miehen nimeltä.

I feel like this is an unpopular opinion, but more people should read incomplete/unfinished/in-progress fanfics.

I've noticed this huge trend where creators on tiktok and tumblr who will be explaining how to use Archive Of Our Own to new users and they always say "and make sure to scroll down and click completed only" or how people will go out of their way to mention they only read completed fics 'because they were traumatized when they forgot to check the dates and didn't realize this fic hadn't been updated since 2012'.

The thing is - I think by not engaging with and/or actively avoiding writer's WIPs readers are potentially adding to the aggregate of abandoned works. Now this obviously isn't the case for all abandoned fics, anything from major life events, to loss of interest, to getting busy can be a reason for a fic getting abandoned - but at least on some level I just know that writers are quitting while they're ahead when they aren't garnering any response or feedback because reading WIPs has become unpopular. If you're worried about reading something that hasn't been updated since 2012 then you can use the date updated function to sort out old fics.

Anyways, support your favorite fanfic writers by engaging with their WIPs.

this is a picture of a stack of bricks. it’s located at a construction site in new jersey.

if you do a reverse image search, you will find this image currently being posted on multiple social media networks along with the claim that violent protests in LA were planned by some nefarious conspiracy and that these pallets of bricks were dropped off at strategic locations near protests in order to fuel said violence.

often, when a picture like this is posted, the conversation is immediately flooded with commentators who readily accept the image as hard proof of what is “really happening” even though it is simply a photo of some bricks with no stated location or context (as for how i know the bricks are in NJ, see the link ill drop in the comments below)

there’s no AI trickery here, these are real bricks, and the people sharing the image don’t have to do any work to “prove” that these bricks have anything to do with the protest, because a pre-existing crowd of accounts is already there to support the narrative and shout down contradictions.

this is of course just a drop in the bucket. the misinformation war is huge, and pales in comparison to the physical violence that victims of ICE and other state forces are going through today, but all of these elements work together.

i am hearing from people in other parts of the country that LA is “on fire” (it isn’t), that local authorities have told law enforcement to stand down and join the protests (they haven’t), that there is widespread looting and rioting (there isn’t). there is zero justification for the national guard or marines being sent here, that is entirely a political stunt; albeit a disgusting and dangerous one. i have also seen people sharing videos of soccer fans and claiming they are protestors, sharing pics from other protests in 2020 or even in other countries, and claiming that its current footage of LA

you are being lied to. that’s not new, but the speed and scale of it is. as usual, the reality is that the majority of violence is coming from the authorities, and the widespread use of deceptive media is being used to turn the people against a justified protest. don’t fall for it.

Remember when I told ya'll last month to be ready to start looking for a Discord alternative?

Yeah things aren't looking good for discord.

Well shit, the Republicans brought a certain anti-online porn bill back to the table.

The Interstate Obscenity Definition Act.

This should alarm you guys.

Wow, now there's a bot going around on Ao3 telling people that the "moderators" will delete works from "deprecated" fandoms and impose bans.

Fearmongering bullshit, but it's fearmongering bullshit that seems to be taking advantage of the recent spotlight series in order to trick authors into deleting their fics.

Just. Why.

What the hell does anyone get out of making these bots.

Earlier this week Stephen Miller was screaming inside the White House about ICE only going after criminals instead of raiding “7-11’s and Home Depot’s” where the working class is.

Today ICE rolled up to a Home Depot in Los Angeles in military vehicles tossing flash bang grenades to scare off the public. In Los Angeles the police and county sheriffs as a matter of policy refuse to cooperate with ICE so the storm troopers were on their own. Wolf got out and the people of LA mobilized into two very large protests and marched on ICE HQ from two different directions and merged into one massive protest. Parts of the city were shut down as several thousand angry citizens protested in a very loud manner while the ICE Gestapo hid inside their building.

An estimated 10% or one million people in LA County are believed to be undocumented and most work, pay taxes, and are good people. They helped battle the wildfires in large numbers. To illustrate the cruelty and injustice of ICE storm troopers they abducted the mother of a decorated member of the LA fire department who has been here for thirty years and promptly deported her.

First it was Minneapolis and the citizens battled them in the streets and forced them to retreat, then it was San Diego, and today it is Los Angeles. We the people are sick and tired of fascist Trump and his Gestapo and we are finally fighting back.

PSA TO ALL READERS while wandering around a mall today I was ensnared by a powerful force that bade me enter a place called Barnes & Noble. in a daze I wandered the displays and was compelled to even pick up several books that this force attempted to foist upon me at great personal cost to myself. it was only through great strength of will that I was able to fight off this befouling force by withdrawing my cellular device from my pocket and logging into my library account to place requests for the same books at no cost that i was able to escape without grievous harm. truly it's crazy out there, stay safe and remember that libraries are always there to provide aid as you fight against such forces of darkness
