Or you could just not use the site; I've found dissecting things for their tropes actually decreases my enjoyment in the end. But more importantly, decisions like these are good reminders that sites that won't let you in without demanding unnecessary data aren't to be trusted.

Blocking Access to Harmful Content Will Not Protect Children Online, The UK is having a moment. In late July, new rules took effect that require all online services available in the UK to assess whether they host content considered harmful to children, and if so,

When platforms are forced to block “anything that might harm kids,” the result is overreach. A real rights-respecting solution to keeping people safe online is one that's built on user control, privacy, and smart design, not censorship. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

New Crow Time update [1/3]

there’s a popular digital guide written and used by police that recommends sharing links with URL tracking elements to capture people’s IPs.

Linkumori is a browser extension that purifies URLs before trackers can log you.

Fix this: I hate that you can't block bigots without deleting every rebuttal to their bigotry you made when it breaks the thread. There needs to be a way to push back against Nazi bullshit, and then prevent the Nazi from interacting once you've made your point without erasing all the work you did.

...I did kinda go off in the alt text, didn't I? :)

Some idiot proudly displaying the fact that they censored a library copy of the groundbreaking graphic novel "Gender Queer: A Memoir" by Maia Kobabe in order to shame their recorded queer experience. The graphic novel page begins with the title "Interest in erotic gay fiction has been so prevalent in my friendships, one could mistake it for a prerequisite." In the second panel, a group of friends are sitting together in college watching the TV show Supernatural. One asks, "When did you first ship Sam & Dean?" and the other responds, "When Dean pushed Sam against the bridge in the first episode!" However, this censoring idiot has physically covered "Sam" with masking tape and written "Cas" [even though that makes no sense in the context of that ship's history, FFS, Cas didn't come in until Season 4]. They then proudly explain they "HAD" to censor it because the original sentence contains incest and it's "Nastyyyyy". And I guess they think their opinion gives them the right to tell other queers how to tell their history. This is embarrassing, juvenile behavior, and it's HARMFUL. IDGAF what you ship - editing someone else's real, lived queer history because their experiences don't match your sense of propriety is appalling on every level. Good job doing the fascists' work for us, and I mean that sincerely. When we tell people they can't talk about their queerness unless they lived it according to our standards, we deny them the right to be real and authentic. It's no different than some asshole editing a queer couple to be straight to suit their sense of appropriateness. Fucking grow up, support queer peoples' authentic lives, and recognize that fantasizing about fiction does not in any way equal reality.

FFS, kids, don't do this shit. Not only are you CENSORING A BOOK, you are censoring someone else's real, recorded queer history. This isn't something to be proud of. It's pathetic. We have to fight hard enough to keep copies of Gender Queer: A Memoir in libraries in the first place.

I feel like werewolves maybe ought to invest in stripper outfits that tear apart intentionally and easily and can be put back together afterwards

Once upon a time, in 2023 to be exact, a pair of friends decided to host a fairytale-themed bang. It would welcome all fandoms and probably be quite small! Or so they thought.

I spend half my time mad at Tom for being an asshole and the other half noticing how all his behaviors are the patterns of someone trapped in the middle of a triggered, unending trauma response with no one he can let help him out of it because the act of trusting someone is one of his triggers.

Happy #wincestwednesday!

Sorry, I absolutely should have confirmed before posting this. I mentioned I was looking for information before publicizing it, but that is absolutely not the same as getting your permission before going ahead.

(Note: The D- censoring is by me, to make sure this thread doesn't accidentally get muted by Wincest filters to mute the word.)

"I won't deny that working closely with D- shippers isn't high on my bucket list. But it is not my intention to exclude anyone who has ever typed the word 'D-' without malice from the challenge."

"I am very likely to decline submissions for people whose primary OTP isn't Wincest/J2. I want this to be for Wincest shippers, not people who occasionally dabble and are fine with their primary focus being a ship that excludes Sam as a part of the show and devalues his relationship with Dean."

"We've reached out to a number of people, but we ARE open to people asking to be included....We're checking what people have written, but we are absolutely open to at least considering anyone whose primary focus is Wincest. And tbh that is more important to us than quality."

For the record, this was the clarification I received:

I heard rumors of a ship purity requirement - never having written the D- ship :) - so I reached out to the mods, and have been told that is not in fact the case. There's no gold-star shipping requirement, and in fact one of the people already accepted has written D-.

This can lead to legitimately hurt feelings, so decide if it's for you before you apply. I'm not being mean - rejection letters suck on a good day, and getting one can leave me in a funk for a long while. But it still seems like a cool project that would appeal to a lot of y'all.

What this means is it's a fun opportunity, but you should approach it like submitting for an anthology. Space is limited, and you aren't guaranteed entry. The editors are the ultimate authorities of whose work is included, and you may not agree with their choices.
