fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

Amen, Father.

Keep reading, friends. 📚

Remember when COVID vaccines were first available? Remember how they saved lives and helped us move toward normalcy? Remember how relieved and grateful we were? Remember how amazing our healthcare workers were? Remember how science rescued us?

OLIVER: "Gaza is starving is a sentence that's objectively true, but it's also slightly misleading because it's too passive — Gaza is being starved by Israel."

This is a rare pair that I wish would be more explored

Jinkx Monsoon mocks J.K. Rowling’s transphobia in a recent interview with Ziwe

He said, each of us is broken
She said, well that's the greatest thing
In total, fragile imperfection
The dark is how we let the light in

Pansy reading Skeeter’s latest speculations about the Chosen One’s sex life, after Harry literally just fucked her brains out.
The article amuses her, because she knows that she’s got the Chosen One wrapped around her finger and that she’s the only one Harry has ‘sexual relations’ with.

I'll for sure concede that we should never assume malice where negligence/incompetence/apathy are possible.

no, I said I wanted a tradewife. like a union electrician

I started reading a fic that I had on my TBR but it seems very familiar and I can’t recall whether I have actually read it or if I started it before and DNFd. My brain is mush guys, mush.

Header text: "HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS!" This is followed by a couple example urls, with a red square highlighting the sections with source identifiers. The rest of the text is as follows: Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity. When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers. Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

Sometimes I’m jealous of my employees. They’re truckers and have lots of waiting times. Do you know how much I’d read if I had that? Like “oh, the docking bay is broken, it’s gonna take a while”, no probs, I have this 900k ff to read, take all the time you need

I genuinely don’t know how you guys find the time to write fabulous works of fanfiction. Like you have SM accounts, discord servers, subreddits, handle fests on top of your lives and some of y’all have kids! Sometimes even finding the time to read is hard for me. You’re truly marvelous

The Rite is so beautiful, it fills one’s soul with light. If you have time after, its companion fic The Promise is just as worth it.

Omg! I feel like I can’t keep up with these amazing works by everyone. It feels like I put it in my TBR just yesterday and now it’s finished already 🥺

something remarkably cruel about intercepting a boat & kidnapping an unarmed crew whose only goal was bringing humanitarian relief & aid — trying to break the siege of a people who have been devastated by bombs + starvation

fuck isr*el & all of its supporters.
silence is complicity.
