yes yes we all know about the Edmund Fitzgerald, rest her soul, but did you know about the ship laden with explosives that sank in the mouth of the Thames in 1944 and could explode at any minute and which attempts to disarm keep failing

I am gonna need the person at the FBI who is writing the cover up stories to read a different detective novel than the one the devoured in middle school where the killer carved his message onto bullet casings, you know, for variety

Getting intermittent "SSL handshake failed error code 525" on #AO3 with lag. If you're also here because you noticed slowness or failure to connect: this is your reminder to always load an entire fic before you start reading so you don't get caught by the next chapter not loading in case of issues

I cannot possibly be the first nerd with a hyperfixation interest on potions and alchemy to want to make a MTG deck around this theme, that is not statistically possible, this game is thirty years old

So why the fuck is there literally only one reddit post on this topic?

TOTD: The "bisexual means same and different not male and female" to "I'm queer because I do not have the time, patience, or crayons to explain this to you" pipeline is real

I guess “White Party” was just too on the nose?

Anyone know how to reliably root a pixel 7a? If they're trying to force AI as a security update then I'm no longer concerned about breaking what I have left of the warranty so I don't have to have that

Improvements This security update includes improvements that were a part of update KB5058499 (released May 28, 2025). The following summary outlines key issues addressed by the KB update after you install it. Also, included are available new features. The bold text within the brackets indicates the item or area of the change. [System Restore] After installing the June 2025 Windows security update, Windows 11, version 24H2 will retain system restore points for up to 60 days. To apply a restore point, select Open System Restore. Restore points older than 60 days are not available. This 60-day limit will also apply to future versions of Windows 11, version 24H2.

Seeing as windows have decided to break their own toy, anyone know of something like Ghost that can create a SRP that won't delete itself after 60 days on Windows 11 (24h2) since this patch tuesday release?

If you're able to call a man who started the morning with one name by a completely different name because he stood on a balcony and told you he picked his new one, then I don't wanna hear shit about how not deadnaming trans people is hard from now on

The Pope should "avoid appearing to take sides in these old ideological battles"

With your whole ass chest? At your big age? And you were paid to write this?

Honestly, just between you and me, if I was trying to make an insane point about how boys "prefer digital characters to real women" I would not be using as an example the one recent RPG game whose fandom is (relatively) extremely queer and female demographically.

I agree, which is why I'm pulling my punches on the off chance they're ignorant/immature and not actually malicious. They won't alienate me from the cause, my principles are firm, but they are showing that they aren't trusted allies right now, but that doesn't mean I don't hope they'll learn in time

Is the relevance in the room with us?

I did, not for me, not my genre. Ditto Heinlein. John Kendrick Bangs wrote one of my lifetime faves and Shakespeare is still funny though ⚖️

And I literally said multiple times that I don't put any money in JKRs pocket anymore and haven't pretty much since around the time Cursed Child dropped.

Judging by the people who have been coming for me for saying I write fanfic and have tattoos from years ago, apparently there's some super secret currency that they think she gets from anyone engaging in any way with any HP content at all. Makes me wonder how many have read Lovecraft or Heinlein tbh

*You're

Yeah, that IS how little I care what you think of me and how I live my life so now I'm going to mute you without actually reading more than your spelling error, then go fuck my transgender spouse to test out a new position for Sev to be in in my next fic, toodles!

The beauty is that they think I care what they think. You know me, I don't mind being the bitch in other people's stories for standing up for myself because my principles matter more than optics. They'll learn and block me because they're too ashamed to face themselves, same MO different dipstick

It's almost like what we do and say on social media is actually not all that relevant to how we act and the moves we make offline, just like you trying to moralise at me like you think you know me or I should care

This is by far the funniest thread I've been in in years, keep sending the clowns

I'm British, keep trying 😂

I figure they blocked once they realised that they weren't actually getting a rise or a grovelling apology for their attempt at Activism 101 homework. I didn't check but I assume they're idiot kids who don't remember web 2.0 and the Restricted Section cease and desist

I didn't see that bit, honestly it's hilarious to me how quickly they had to build a strawman because a split second glance at your (or my) bio would disprove them

does it take work to be that stupid or is it natural? If AO3 made money off my fics I would write so much more to fund them. I donate to them. They pretty much singlehandedly saved fandom and free fannish expression online because they fought back JKR was sending cease and desists to fanfic sites

Yeah me too, as if it's such a loss to have someone that dim remove themselves from my remit 😂

Who profits from my kinky snarry fanfiction posted to A03? Who wrote those fics?

Oh yeah, I did, that's a left-wing mixed-race non-binary queer immigrant who is married to a trans person writing gay sex. I'm sure she adores me(!)

I'm right there with you, I swear turning 30 just made me so much less willing to put up with that nonsense (and we both know I was hardly open to it before 😂).

Glad to see you pop up on my feed though, hope you're keeping well! 💚

You don't know shit about me but here's a start: I don't go telling strangers off on the internet because I willfully decided to misunderstand what they said in the first place. So I'm giving your words the same consideration you gave mine- none- and responding accordingly (by mocking you).

Thanks for the support Zilla, I don't think this person is literate enough to have noticed my pronouns TBF. Maybe they should read more fanfic and practice that way 😂😂😂

No one is buying Rowling's shit based on me bitching about her and writing kinky fanfiction about a character she obviously despises. Have fun telling yourself that though, I think I'll put Sev in high heels and frilly knickers for me next fic, I bet JK would love that(!)
