Btw much as I love to make fun of twitter and reddit's business decisions, I have 0% trust in tumblr's management to not go a similar route so this is your gentle reminder that you should regularly go to your blog settings to export your blog. That's a fancy way of saying you can download a backup of your blog so if everything goes down you'll still have a backup of your posts & convos.

by far the funniest thing about reading fanfiction as a political professional is that I can always tell exactly who has and hasn't been to a fundraiser or gala based on how they write them

Oh my gosh. I just found this website that walks you though creating a believable society. It breaks each facet down into individual questions and makes it so simple! It seems really helpful for worldbuilding!

It was a long time coming: An incomprehensive list of similarities between antizionism and transphobia:
An obsession with deadnames: Transphobes tend to insist on calling trans people by the name they had before they transitioned. Antizionists tend to insist on calling Jewish people who Hebrewfied their name or just changed their name to a Hebrew one, by their old name.
"If you want your own representation so badly, why don't you make it yourself?" *representation exists* "omg why do you have to shove it into our faces all the time??"
"One of the good ones", tokenization on the greater scale of hate - Queerphobes will look for transphobic LGB people to use as tokens, and nothing more. Similarly, antisemites will look for antizionist Jews to use as tokens. And nothing more.
"Your existence doesn't add up with my beliefs, so clearly you just don't exist / you're not who you claim you are"
"Actually zionism is the real antisemitism slash the reason antisemitism exists" / "Actually trans people are the ones giving a bad name to queer people"
"They are coming for us": "Trans people want to turn other people" / "Zionists want to take over the world"
Pretending to care about academic sources but actually disregarding most studies made (studies showing Jewish indiginity over the levant / studies showing the results of transgender healthcare)
"Why would you need to be defended? You are already the most protected group on the planet!"
Obviously a lot of Nazi background for both rethorics.
Pretending to care about children, oh but not THOSE children: Transphobes basic off of "protect the children" because "trans people are trying to turn out children trans", ignoring how untreated dysphoria leads to higher suicide rates among trans youth, or how a trans kid is literally murdered for being trans; Antizionists claiming to care about kids dying but cheering on when Jewish kids are being fucking murdered.
Refusing to listen to the targetted group about their own fucking experience (because clearly they're lying to achieve some secret agenda).
This might be a small thing but demonization of a flag to extreme extents: "The star of david is problematic because it appears on Israel's flag" / being "suspicious" of anything that's colored using the same scheme as the trans flag (or any queer flag in this case)
Hating on an identity trait and/or claiming it's not actually an identity trait, thinking that claiming enough that people don't exist will make it true ("Israel doesn't exist" / "there are only two genders")
Treating an identity trait as an ideology (being Israeli equating to an "evil" ideology / being trans equating to an "evil" ideology)
This one is pretty universal but telling people to kill themselves
Telling people their very existence actively causes harm
Being nosy and not minding their own fucking buisness (antizionists actively looking for posts made by Jews/Israelis to send them hate, transphobes actively looking for posts made by trans people to send them hate).
"Why make it your entire personality???"
you lot are welcome to add more
edit א:
"i identify as a toaster" / "it was promised to them 3000 years ago"
edit ב:
"cis is a slur" / "goy is a slur"

i do think theres something sad about how largely only the literature that's considered especially good or important is intentionally preserved. i want to read stuff that ancient people thought sucked enormous balls

it’s the way zohran’s win is being celebrated as a great progressive moment meanwhile some of the main demographics he did worst with are black voters, jewish voters, and those who make less than $50k

Seeing these stats made me feel like the paranoia I've had my whole life was justified. This isn't even considering the rate increase in 2025 yet. It's not that we have a "victim complex," it's the fact we are consistently gaslit in regards to our worries while used as political pawns. I despise when people use antisemitism as a shield from their own ignorant/hateful ways of thinking, yet we need to understand antisemitism is a shapeshifting virus and actually listen to our Jewish friends and family.

The fact is the mass consolidation of wikis and fan sites into single sites was basically a trap to force those communities to deal with the eventual enshittification of the platform that absorbed them. Some of us had the foresight and hands to see this coming and avoid this, but others are now trying to escape and stand on their own at last. The UESP isn't alone, Indie Wiki Buddy has a pretty good list (and extension to help you find them).
Are there any other independent wikis/fan communities that you care about still out there? We'd love to hear about them.

There should be a fanfic writing game called the showrunners challenge where someone writes a story and partway through someone else can play things like "actor leaves after 4000 more words" or "topic now too politically sensitive due to unforeseen world events" or "lost rights to that reference"
