We went to a Harry Potter parody last night that had this scene:

Snape (Alan Rickman voice): Take your seats.

Students: *ignore him*

Snape (Alan Rickman voice): Settle down.

Students: *ignore him*

Snape (yelling at the top of his lungs): Sit down and shut up or I'll rip your tongues out!

Students: *scramble madly for seats, silent*

... And now I'm 100% convinced that this is canon from Snape's first year teaching :)

Tonight on My Husband Doesn’t Know How to Baby Talk

“Ma’am, are you aware that these, right here are your hands? They belong to you. And you get to decide what happens with them. So when you use these hands to pull your binky out of your mouth that is not necessarily a dad problem. I’ll fix it obviously i just want you to acknowledge it’s not my fault”

one weird thing about being the target of mass harassment over a long period time is how random it becomes. there are things you can predict—old smear campaigns popping back up because you’ve spoken out about a controversial issue, or because you’ve recently been particularly active and visible. that is always a risk; I’ve learned to mentally prepare myself for an uptick in harassment before starting new projects or posting about certain issues.

But. But. a lot of times it has nothing to do with your actions. which means you can’t predict it, you can’t prepare yourself. you are always on edge. because you can do everything right, or nothing at all (and the first will piss off way more people than you would expect), but once trolls have set their sights on you, there is nothing you can do to prevent being targeted again and again, years down the line, for the same old shit. this is how harassment culture works—it enables the harassers, ad nauseam. because at the end of the day, it’s about other people’s actions, other people’s whims. you can tread on a tightrope, anxious not to step on toes or invite discourse, but eventually someone who already hates you will remember you exist, and will take the opportunity to drag you through the same traumatic shitshow you’ve been through before, as many times as they are allowed.

and I wish I had a solution to share. but I don’t. this will keep happening and happening for as long as we, as a community, enable it.

we live in an age of constant misinformation and normalized harassment. please be careful how you treat other social media users, be careful what accusations you believe, and remember there is a human being on the other side of the screen. read critically and with doubt.

[The squad is trying to con some random guy]

Regis: Um, Dettlaff, why are you pretending I’m this guy’s family?

Dettlaff: We need money!

Regis: You’re scamming him?

Dettlaff: I was thinking more of flat-out stealing from him?

Regis: What?! No way!

Dettlaff: Why not? We already stole Geralt!

Geralt: Hey guys.

Regis: No, we didn’t. Geralt can think and talk for himself, he can do whatever he wants!

Geralt: I wanna steal.

actually I don't particularly give a damn if people do good things for the "wrong" reasons

[lillymoid]

I can't believe staff deleted all of their initial @/postplus blog posts and just pretended that the survey and the encouragement-of-illegal-fanfic-monetization backlash never happened. As if they don't know how their own site works?? As if those now-deleted posts aren't still floating around in 100,000 different reblog chains and even more mocking screenshots?? As if we, the gremlin userbase of this hellsite would ever forget how they initially approached the whole mess???

pls say something soft and warm and comfortable

mayhaps the shadows mean you no harm. they drape around you like a well-worn cloak, they act as blanket and swaddle when even light fails you. 

do not fear the quiet shadows, that shift from corner to corner, seeking only a soft place to settle. let them creep into your room at night, and sit mildly by your bedside, whispering you to sleep.
