okay now I'm curious and I dunno if this is really such an archaic foreign thing to young people today or if I'm just out of touch

Please reblog, I'd love to see a lot of responses!

Sharing space is nothing new. Sharing bathrooms is nothing new. The reactionary outrage is so manufactured.

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

what annoys me about explaining evolution to people who don’t think it’s real is that everyone’s idea of how it works seems to be from this

Toastystats: TV fandom fix-its on AO3

I took a look at TV fandoms* that have a lot of fix-it fanworks on AO3. Tagging varies a bunch by fandom and the type of event fans are responding to, so I looked at a bunch of different types of tags. I'll be doing deeper dives into some specific fandoms in future chapters.

Click through to AO3 for more explanations, more graphs, and any corrections/clarifications. Also note that some of these analyses and the explanations of them contain spoilers for various TV fandoms.

*The character death analysis also includes non-TV fandoms, but these analyses are mostly TV-focused.

I need someone in my life who Follows Up. Who turns my question back to me after they've answered it. Who remembers what we talked about last time and checks in to see if things have changed.

I have no one who does this. No one thinks about me when I'm not in front of them. No one wonders if the thing I said I was worried about turned out okay. There is no "And what about you?" No "Are you feeling better today?" No "Hey, so how did it go?"

If you have this in your life (and I sincerely hope you do because it is the BARE FUCKING MINIMUM human beings owe each other), please take a moment to be grateful for it and maybe send someone a smile right now.

Double Income No Kids used to be seen as a kind of lavish lifestyle, now it’s like…a requirement to have any remote chance at financial stability
