Just an update to what I have been crafting recently.
A solid perfume locket
Four hair sticks, three with crystals and one with sun theme and glow in the dark orange beads
Quite a few earrings that are just charms O-ringed onto dangle earring hooks
Ghost in a jar earrings, necklace, and charm- made from clay and cotton ball
Tiny jar charms of "Jar of Dirt" and "Felix Felicis"
I've been working on some other things too but nothing totally finished or that I remembered to photograph.

I've read fanfics on ao3 since I was like 16. Then I grew up and in university, computer science degree, we've talked about open source software and the gnu public licence, how the freedom, independence and diffusion of knowledge passes (also) through that.
And in the meantime ads have spread to such a great extent on the web and so many more website are asking something out of you (money, information, subscriptions, cookies...) and everybody seems to have something to say about what anyone should write about and what is pure and legit and what isn't.
And it made me realize how noble and fucking cool archive of our own is.

there are no outsider POV severitus fics.
I can’t find any stories on AO3 where Severus raises Harry when he��s still a little kid, and he occasionally brings Harry to Hogwarts with him because (insert reason why). Harry essentially becomes a Cryptid at the school, and Snape either loses all scary points or becomes 1000% more scary to his students after they see this random 4 year old run into his arms. No one knows it’s Harry because why tf would Snape have Harry Potter.
I think it’d be even funnier to have Snape make up increasingly absurd reasons as to how Harry got the scar, in order to prevent people from making the connection if they ever see it.

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.

You know the Grimm version of Snow White makes more sense than most versions if only because in that version Snow White was like 7 years old.

My followers know I hate talking about politics and current events, and generally refuse to do so, but this is important.
A bill has been introduced in the US that would make all pornography a federal crime. Owning it. Creating it. Distributing it.
Tumblr media
Under this law, fanart of nude characters would be a federal crime.
Under this law, depictions of homosexuality or simply being transgender, would be considered pornography and a federal crime.
This bill is not going to pass.
However, the reason for this bill is to continue to push the "overton window". The reason for this bill is to make banning pornography seem more and more normal to everyone until they can actually do that.
And remember, they consider depictions of gay characters and transgenders characters "pornography" in any context, including platonic.
They have been working on this for a decade now and it has been working.
If you are one of the people in fandom who thinks that "nasty" porn on AO3 should be banned because it's "icky" or "immoral", then this mental scam is working on you.
Censorship is never about protecting people.
Censorship is always about control.
Do not let the rising moral panic affect your mind and make you weak to propaganda that lets others control you and control what you watch and read.
Do not fall for the scam.
When they say they are going to ban "pornography" it means they're going to ban anything they don't like by calling it "pornography" and they don't like you!!

Fell down a rabbit hole today and found this FANTASTIC list of FireWise plants for Colorado! It was developed by CSU to help people find safer plants to put around their homes when doing fire mitigation.
It breaks things down into different categories depending on the plant type, lets you know the common and scientific name, the water and sun needs, the size at maturity, elevations it grows at, and the month(s) it usually blooms. It also lets you know if it is a native plant, and if it might be poisonous in any way to people, pets, livestock, or wildlife.
Plus it has other tips for planting around your home if you are in a wildfire prone area.
Just a really fantastic resource.

His thought process would make an interesting basis for misogyny in a fantasy or sci-fi world or something.
It is a mythical made up world, why does the discrimination need to be the same? Make it interesting, make people think, maybe they will think about their own internal biases.
Got reminded again of my old coworker who was a massive misogynist but also trans inclusive. Told me he believed trans women are indeed women because "only women would be stupid enough to want to be women"
I wonder what he's doing now

Hi, I’m Mel Stanfill. I am a scholar at the University of Central Florida whose research focuses on fan studies, and I want to understand the opinions of media fans about the use of generative AI tools (like ChatGPT, DALL-E, and others), both in general and as part of the creation of works like fan fiction and fan art in particular.
If you would like to share your thoughts, please take this online survey that will take approximately 15-20 minutes and tell me what you think:
Please also reblog to help me get more responses!
