Some people say that there are no stupid questions, which is blatantly false. Of course there are stupid questions, and if you have one, you had better ask it, before you go and do make a stupider mistake. Stupid questions are more important than intelligent ones. I’m willing to bet more people die because of stupid mistakes than because of intelligent ones.

Younger writers. Please, just know that you could not skip to different songs on a cassette tape, that’s CDs. With tapes you pressed fast forward or rewind and prayed.

Also, VHS tapes did not have menu screens. Your only options were play, fast forward, rewind, pause, stop, or eject.

Y’all are making me feel like the crypt keeper here, I’m begging you 😭

every holocaust memorial day, i always ask people to keep romani people in their thoughts, but this year i’d like to clear up some misconceptions that i see every year w/ a psa

romani people are not white. we’re south asian (from northern india), and each subgroup has a unique racial makeup of asian/white/etc, in different amounts. this is also why we vary wildly in physical appearance/skintone

we still face oppression. what we face, especially in europe, can still be constituted as attempted genocide, as we’re forced to live in hazardous conditions or to give away our children, be sterilized, etc just for the crime of being roma

the ‘g slur’ isn’t just an american issue. the reason some european roma prefer the slur is because, in many countries, there is no term for roma that isn’t a slur, and it’s either the g slur or the literal translation of the n word. i’m romanian, and if you used the slur in my hometown, you’d get slapped, since we just use ‘roma’.

we live in every continent across the world. some of the largest romani populations exist in south america, predominantly in brazil. they are no more and no less roma than their european counterparts, and they, like romani in asia, africa, etc all face unique challenges and oppression.

we’re the largest ethnic minority in europe, and yet have almost no political power, no land ownership power (in some places, we’re forbidden from owning land entirely), etc. with very few reputable charities- a lot of us reject charity by principle, as well as there being a general lack of education about us- the best thing you can do to help romani people is to just spread information, and help individuals when you can.

Readers, make sure you have all your favourite Ao3 fics downloaded.

Writers, make sure you have copies of all the fics you have posted on Ao3.

I don’t want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I'm a bit worried about it 😅

Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.

dont think about how agatha all along could be considered as a queer allegory. dont think about how agathas mom telling her shes born evil is the exact same thing so many parents have told their children after they came out. dont think about how lilia hating the witch stereotypes is the same way queer people who dont fit typical lgbtq stereotypes feel. dont think about how when lilia said i loved being a witch after so much time spent hating it is how queer people feel when they can finally appreciate and accept and love who they are.

Friday Fic Recs

One reliable standby in Merlin fics is whether or not Arthur knows about Merlin's magic, Arthur Finds Out fics are a classic for a reason! These recs all contain Arthur knowing and/or finding out. Arranged in descending wordcount order.

Five Times Arthur Pretended Not To Notice Merlin’s Magic (And One Time He Couldn’t) by idlestories - Merlin/Arthur

Once Arthur catches Merlin doing magic once, it's like he can't not see it. This one's really fun! I enjoy the variety in the times Arthur pretends not to notice. Each incident is a new experience and I enjoyed his internal struggle. Gaius is an entertaining addition. Overall, it made me smile.

Goodnight, I Love You by MerlinLikeTheBird - Merlin/Arthur

Merlin’s days and evenings blur together into one long, overheated, mess. He is tired. The setup for our promised "Goodnight, I love you" is really good. That isn't something that usually slips out easily and the back and forth between Merlin's responsibilities and Arthur is lovely. Something about Merlin half-delirious with exhaustion patting Arthur's head and calling him a good boy entertains me immensely. It's just really sweet and fun!

Matters of Convenience by Drag0nst0rm - Merlin & Arthur

Arthur liked to think of himself as a patient man. The bickering in this one is really fun. I especially enjoy the stage fright bit, it works great. Arthur gets to be observant which is always something I enjoy and he's just a little fuzzy with painkillers which adds to the experience. There's a lot to enjoy in this little one shot, it's fun!
