incorrect good omens, with quotes from my maggot-infested discord server.
Thank you @lxvenderjewel for the idea TRULY iconic.
These are just the screenshots I already had saved. There's so much gold in that server.
Thank you very much @patoslover @queermarzipan @good-usernames-were-taken @howmanyholesinswisscheese @voids-ideas and Crist the Corinthian idk your tumblr username but yes the saucy boy.
I'm so pleased with myself. If any of you are tempted to join the totally normal server, the link is in my pinned post, at your own discretion.

Alright, I once again, generally don't make posts like this but i'm going to go ahead and say it.
If you are only talking about or caring about the trans community when talking about how horrible JK and the new video game is; and you are ignoring/glossing over the jewish community, when the entire point of the game is genociding a race of jewish caricatures because they did blood libel, i fucking see you.
You are not our friend, and you are not our ally. Yes, the trans community needs help and deserves to be angry, and yes, rowling is also a TERF. But jewish people told you she was stinky well before rowling was outed, and to see us being written out of the narrative that is quite literally about us is incredibly shitty and gross.
I implore everyone on both sides to look up common jewish stereotypes and caricatures, and statements used against them.
When you write your posts discussing how bad she is, or why you shouldn't support the game, or decry a streamer for playing the game, don't JUST make it a trans issue. Make it BOTH a trans and a jewish issue. We are both being hurt by this, so don't fucking erase us. I'm getting really annoyed seeing all these posts online and games media only discuss that she's a terf and using that as the only reason to not play, when there are other very good reasons to never touch it!
The only people i see mentioning that this is also harmful to jewish people, are other jewish people. And i see that. I recognize that. I will remember it. Y'all say that if you had lived in X time period you would have done Y, or you're such a great ally to marginalized groups, but when push comes to shove, you pick one group who is hurting over the other. You choose to help and be angry for the group that gets you the most ally points and internet clout.
I'm not asking for much. All i want is that in discussions about JK, and the shitty wizard video game; you include jewish people in the discussion and in the list of people being hurt by this game. It's not fucking hard.

Finger guns
Hey folks
I don't have much to say other than this is an official hiatus announcement.
My muse is nonexistent and I have lots of other things taking my time.
I'll poke onto here occasionally, make some ic comments and maybe respond to drafted threads (assuming those I'm rping with want me to) if I REALLY get a spark of inspo.

I reblogged it earlier but I'm glad the Something Awful Forums 9/11 thread was archived because it's an incredibly important slice of internet history. For the record I think 9/11 was thousands of personal tragedies for the direct victims of the attacks but one big national farce that led to America's ongoing slide into fascism, and the nationalism and remembrance around it is a joke especially in the wake of the same amount of deaths every fucking day in the US during the height of coronavirus.
Nevertheless I think it's important that if you do not remember because you were too young or just didn't exist on Sept 11, 2001 to read the Something Awful 9/11 forums to get an idea of what the internet was like at the moment when America changed to 24 hour news cycles and renewed hyper-nationalism not seen since WWII.
This all happened before Twitter, Facebook, before Discord. Before smart phones. Before most people had cell phones. When a lot of people still had dial-up internet, even. Some people in the thread were relying on radio because internet and TV weren't keeping up.
It was a live event of internet denizens reacting to the biggest national event (and among the biggest international events) of the past 25 years. It was also a slice of what the internet was like at the turn of the millennium. Not only that, but people accurately calling out who was responsible, and what would result before the attacks even finished.
Keep in mind that the links that follow contain images of the event, lots of Islamophobia, people calling for the Middle East to be nuked, people blaming Palestine, casual racist and homophobic language (this was Something Awful after all), etc etc. They preserved the first 17 pages which spanned about 24 hours during the events. It's the origin of the "WATCH BUSH START A FUCKING WAR" screenshot.
Links under the fold. I've also annotated the pages with notes regarding the timeline and any posts of interest. Note the thread was preserved in Pacific Time even though the page says times are Eastern. That's incorrect. Post timestamps are 3 hours behind Eastern Time, which is the time zone where the attacks occurred:
Page 1 - Note the first post was edited to include images of the second attack. The thread started after the first plane hit. Second plane hitting the WTC happens here too.
Page 2 - Poster accurately calling out Bin Laden was responsible at 9:14 AM EST
Page 3 - "WATCH BUSH START A FUCKING WAR"
Page 4
Page 5 - First official acknowledgement it was a terrorist attack.
Page 6 - Pentagon hit
Page 7
Page 8
Page 9 - Commercial flights grounded by FAA (Federal Aviation Administration)
Page 10 - First mention of towers collapsing at end of page
Page 11 - More reactions to collapse of first tower. People thinking it was a bomb or yet another plane. Rumors about a fourth plane just missing the White House (these are false and predate the actual 4th plane crash by minutes)
Page 12
Page 13 - By this point there's just rampant speculation about more bombs at the WTC, the US Capitol building being hit, etc (all false). Remember this is all just people reacting to TV news and radio and the rumor mill via phone, AIM, IRC, and maybe text messages.
Page 14 - By this point internet news sites are overwhelmed
Page 15 - Second tower collapses. First acknowledgement of the fourth plane that crashed in PA.
Page 16 - There's an abrupt time jump in the threads, I think it was the result of admins pruning the activity or the SA forums going down. This page starts on 9/12 even though it is page 16. American flag signatures and ribbons start appearing.
Page 17
