#Internet knowledge

[macwantspeace]

Parker Malloy quoting Tom Fell: "The internet’s where we come to have people condescend to us about things they learned yesterday. I’m an expert in nothing! I don’t remember where I ‘learned’ anything! I can’t focus at all, and I don’t even have ADHD! My most commonly cited sources are an article I saw, this podcast I listened to, and my friend’s friend who I was talking to this past weekend!" Yeah, a headline hits and everybody can explain ezzactly what's happening. Ten minutes later it all flips.

"Publishers accused the nonprofit of infringing copyrights in 127 books from authors like Malcolm Gladwell, C.S. Lewis, Toni Morrison, J.D. Salinger and Elie Wiesel, by making the books freely available through its Free Digital Library.

The archive, which hosts more than 3.2 million copies of copyrighted books on its website, contended that the library was transformative because it made lending more convenient and served the public interest by promoting "access to knowledge.""

I know it’s generally in good fun when making jokes about how young fujoshi in the early 2000s-2010s talked about queer couples (i.e. “yuri couple, yaoi couple, i see no difference love is love” or “if you police people’s identities you are not yaoiful at all”) but if you look at it from the lens of acknowledging that this, for many of them, is their first time even realising being queer was an option, it’s a very interesting study in realising that this is an attempt at inclusion from the perspective of someone who may not have ever heard of things like gender identity or sexuality beyond “boy” and “girl”.

college au

Meryl is NOT the first person Vash visited and Wolfwood has had enough embarrassment for the day

and unofficially wife-d up with paper rings (congratulations!)

Vash holding Wolfwood's hands, realising that it's not as calloused, no, in fact, it's soft. Unharmed. Safe. And he's holding it. Both of his hands are holding it. And those hands are exchanging something as fragile as a paper ring, far off from what they're usually accustomed of holding in the past...

(He's holding Wolfwood's hand, he thinks again. It's soft. He wonders if he deserves to hold them.)

Except it's no longer the past, Vash knows that, and now they're here, the flimsy rings weighing heavy with the promise of tomorrows he could never hope or dream of having before. It's so comical to the point of bringing tears to his eyes.

If anyone had seen him crying that day he's blaming it on the damned ring.

(a.k.a. the college/reincarnation au, "we deserve a soft epilogue" ending I desperately need)

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"

-Evelyn Beatrice Hall, The Friends of Voltaire

The first amendment allows us to say what we want, whenever we want, without our government punishing us for our words. KOSA, therefore, is violating our first amendment rights. It's mass censorship of the internet, and our right to freedom of speech is being suppressed BY THE GOVERNMENT. Our founding fathers created this as THE FIRST AMENDMENT, and clearly thought this was important. Oh, wouldn't they be disappointed to see what their descendants are doing now. KOSA, a mass censorship bill that will contradict our constitution as we know it. KOSA, which instead of protecting the kids is in fact putting them in harms way. KOSA, which will put so so many people in danger. And we can stop it, but we have to fight. We MUST fight

To hear one voice clearly, we must have the freedom to hear them all

Sir, a second woman has sat down in front of the viewer

POV: Uh, okay so there's two women and they're, like, looking at you, yeah? I'd mention that they're smiling seductively at you but we're already REALLY toeing the line of relatability here. This isn't a meme caption it's a cry for help-

It may not seem like much to anyone, but I really wanted to have Juno do this little thing with his hands. And now that I learned he actually does this sometimes, I feel a painful weight has been lifted off my shoulders (only for another one to take its place because this really good sketch got UNINTENTIONALLY CUT-OFF AGAIN).

At least the one hand you can see turned out just perfect. ( ;' v');

vicro shenanigans! from after the ps/steam demo release

[vicaly]

What have I been doing some may ask?

Hoarding Transformer one drawings and dead set on learning to draw Cybertronians and metal for the two week, that's what

There is only duck tape and saranwrap keeping this mostly cult of the lamb sacred place from being drowned out by my oldest hyper fixation unknown to the internet.

I grew up with the Transformers franchise. I have read comics, played with toys of them, kept said toys, and have seen SO MANY movies.

requesting statement of intent

[haveyoureadthisfanfic]

Summary: From a tumblr writing prompt "You have one super power: The ability to know without fail what the truth is to any asked question. You planned to help the world as a super hero. It took you six hours for the government to declare you public enemy number one and the most deadly super villain alive." The Soothsayer just wanted to help.
