Wha... Wait... "A"??!?

A. One. Left out of the headline - because that would take a whole letter to specify! - and elucidated in the article. Yoink! Good news, a pause on a single shipment, but don't think we've lost our minds and intend to stop. And, giving me more Duck Soup flashbacks, the stated reason is that the BIG bombs kill too many people too fast.

"Good!" says the Rufus T. Firefly that lives in my brain. "Freedonia can't be concerned with putting these miserable people out of their misery! Let 'em suffer! Why, if it's precision you're after, we'll round 'em up and stab 'em to death with our knitting needles!"

Is that actually the reason? No. Pretty darn sure it's the protests and the election.

And Sanders is right there, in that political sweet spot he's allowed to occupy because he's a progressive who'll fall in line when the chips are down, saying this shit needs to stop but willing to call a genocide a "horrific war" for the optics. He's playing to stay in the room and keep doing the "harm reduction," but you'll forgive me for finding the strategy sickening under the circumstances.

"We're losing votes!" says Rufus T. Firefly. "Deploy the decoys and blow the Progressive Call!"

Harpo blows a kazoo that somehow goes, "UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE! SOCIAL JUSTICE! PEACE ON EARTH! NO NUKES!"

"Hey, boss, that sounds pretty good," says Chicolini. "Are we gonna do any of that?"

"What? Pfft! No!" Firefly brandishes a blunderbuss. "Just look busy and wait for a few leftists to land. We'll blow 'em away!"

Chicolini rubs his paws together. "Oh, boss, we're gonna eat like kings!"

"Shut your mouth! Filthy monarchist! We're gonna eat like Liberal Democrats with no accountability!" Aside, "Hand me my crown!"

All postmodern absurdity aside, it's the protests and the election. If you're visible (and if you're allowed, because some campuses are clearing out "outside agitators" who don't like genocides but lack a student ID) PLEASE STAY VISIBLE. MAKE NOISE. And I thank you from the bottom of my distant, sick, invisible heart.

“You shouldn’t self-ID as ADHD/autistic, you’re turning a very real mental condition into a trend” Ok then stop saying delulu. Stop speculating on which cluster C personality disorder the criminals you hear about on the news have. Stop saying “schizoposting” and “acoustic” and “is it restarted?” Stop using “psycopath” and “sociopath” as catch-all ways of calling someone a bad person. Stop saying “the intrusive thoughts won” when you bleach your hair and then turn your nose up at people who suffer from very real, very scary urges of physical/sexual violence. Stop saying “I’m so OCD” as a way of calling yourself neat. Stop treating BPD/ASPD/Bipolar as inherently abusive. Stop saying “OP I am living in your walls” without tagging for unreality. Stop diagnosing complete strangers you’ve never met on r/AITA with NPD.

You first. If you don’t want our disabilities to be treated like trends then stop belittling and minimising them. I’ll NEVER judge a person for trying find labels for their symptoms when an apathetic, racist, sexist, ableist healthcare system refuses to. But I will absolutely judge a hypocrite. Which a lot of you are

Whoever conceived and animated this moment, I hope they're doing well and thriving. This is S-rank romance stuff here.

In the spirit of encouraging people to comment on fanfics while also making it easier to do so, I feel obliged to share a browser extension for ao3 that has quite literally revolutionized the comment game for me.

I present to you: the floating ao3 comment box!

From what I've seen, a big problem for many people is that once you reach the comments at the bottom of a fic, your memory of it miraculously disappears. Anything you wanted to say is stuck ten paragraphs ago, and you barely remember what you thought while reading. This fixes that!

I'll give a little explanation on the features and how it works, but if you want to skip all that, here's the link.

The extension is visible as a small blue box in the upper left corner.

(Side note: The green colouring is not from the extension, that's me.)

If you click on it, you open a comment box window at the bottom of your screen but not at the bottom of the fic. I opened my own fic for demonstrative purposes.

The website also gives explanations on how exactly it functions, but I'll summarize regardless.

insert selection -> if you highlight a sentence in the fic it will be added in italics to the comment box

add to comment box -> once you're done writing your comment, you click this button and the entire thing will automatically copied to the ao3 comment box

delete -> self explanatory

on mulitchapter fics, you will be given the option to either add the comment to just the current chapter or the entire fic

The best part? You can simply close the window the same way you opened it and your progress will automatically be saved. So you can open it, comment on a paragraph, and then close it and keep reading without having the box in your face.

Comments are what keep writers going, and as both a writer and a reader, I think it's such an easy way of showing support and enthusiasm.

"it's okay, i can peel back the layers of you until i find the soft and gentle core of you you've had to work so hard to hide"? no. no, it's okay, i know you're hollow; i'm here anyway. you don't have to pretend it isn't masks the whole way down. whatever face you want to wear, i still love you. i don't need you to be good or unflinching or the antonym of violence. if i did, i wouldn't be here. i wouldn't ask that of you.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this is my understanding of things...

David Tennant: wears a shirt and publicly says trans kids have the right to exist. Otherwise continues to just do his thing as a beloved British actor with no social media.

The UK Right: has an absolute fit, tries to call him a pedo, but it backfires and gets one of their own fired

David Tennant: wears pride pins in public venues and is supportive of his kid. Otherwise continues to do his thing and has a massive year as a beloved British actor with no social media.

LGBT Britain: give him an ally award for... Not stopping being a good dad and wearing pins while on TV.

David Tennant: accepts award with grace and humility and understanding that the bar for allyship is in the floor, and says he wishes a right wing politician would shut up (presumably about trans people).

Rishi Sunak and the Tories: tries to go after DT for impinging on freedom of speech.

When the Tories go down in flames, can we credit DT? Just a little bit? For lolz?
