The agony of thinking you’re finished doing the dishes only to turn around and to your horror: the pot.

It really is wild that some politicians can stand there and say "yeah we're getting rid of a program that keeps quite literally millions of people alive specifically so we can cut taxes for people who are already richer than god" as if it's a normal political stance and not so cartoonishly evil I'm legit shocked perry the platypus doesn't break through the nearest wall the minute the words leave their mouth.

i actually never ever want AO3 to be censored bc nothing is more fun than reading the tags on a fic and going “huh. didn’t know there was a market for that.”

Few things in fiction piss me off more than when a character is very rightfully so angry at another character for something.

The other character did something wrong/bad and character A gets upset about that, often times even having the character specifically vocalize the exact thing chara B did and why that was fucked up.

And then it's just... moved on from. Either chara A rationalizes it down themselves and making it look like they overreacted or, worse yet, a whole different character makes it look like chara A overreacted, or the writer just fully sweeps the whole thing under the rug because they wanted the conflict but don't want to have to deal with the outfall.

Let characters be rightfully angry! Let them own their emotions!

I'm not even saying "and thus A should never-ever talk to B again", but how about having B actually apologize or better yet, improve their behavior, work for it. Give the whole thing a worthy payoff by working through the issue.

nothing pisses me off more than when i see a fic on ao3 talking about reach. "this ship isn't here but i added them for reach" "this fandom tag isn't necessary but i'm adding it for reach" "reposting for reach" STOP IT!!!! this is not tiktok this is not twitter this is an ARCHIVE this is not how it works!!!

So idk if this is the same thing but for years I've had random bursts of forgetfulness that last a very short amount of time. I forget where I am, how I got there, what I was doing, etc. My neurologist said it's actually brief migraines with aura, even though I don't actually have a headache. I think they're also called silent migraines.

ok so what's going on with that thing when you're in bed at night and all of a sudden you like completely forget where you are and you have to like... just chill for a minute or two until you remember

I fucking hate that the general response to RFK Jr's eugenist take on autistic people is "autistic people do pay taxes, autistic people do work, autistic people do date!"

Some autistic people don't and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life. Some autistic people do need constant help and support and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life.

Once again we're falling in the right wing trap of :

They make a hateful, fascist statement

Instead of focusing on the fact that it is hateful and fascist we try to show them that they are factually wrong

We throw our own allies and the most vulnerable of us under the bus in the process

We legitimise an only slightly less hateful, fascist view as we go

They have completed their goal of making us accept the still hateful, fascist second version, hurrah. What a victory.

Right now what we're getting to with that is that autistic people who can work and pay taxes are okay, and the others aren't. Fuck this shit.

Same thing happens with the people who are being deported ("they have a visa!", "they didn't even have a criminal record!" -> even if they didn't have a visa, even if they did have a criminal record, deporting them and detaining them in what's essentially a concentration camp wouldn't be okay, you absolute tools of fascism.)

Do you get it now? Without due process, everyone is at risk. How are you going to prove your citizenship otherwise?
