a surprising number of people see the term "social construct" and think that it means something is not real when it actually means something is so very real because it was created by us and is constantly enforced, often violently

I just spent a few minutes looking at the maps of where flock cameras are in my area, and when I found a restaurant or store I know with one nearby, I wrote their corporate site to let them know I’d not be going there again until the cameras were gone.

It didn’t take long but it felt like some tiny bit of good to do. Pit the corporations against this shit, they have far more power than I ever will. Just a thing for spare time if you feel the need to DO something but can’t find a way. Worked for me at least.

If you do- Be polite, send nothing that police could call a threat, and maybe remind them that Flock has been caught using these to spy on children and such. Why would anyone take their family to a big corporate owned restaurant when that’s happening? Things like that.

Be safe and stay sane.

[facts-i-just-made-up]

Not a joke, not unreality, and likely not an original idea but if anyone needs a way to pass a couple minutes it feels good. Fuck this bullshit to hell.

i actually never ever want AO3 to be censored bc nothing is more fun than reading the tags on a fic and going “huh. didn’t know there was a market for that.”

squinting at a tag and trying to decide how badly I want to learn a new word

i like when a piece of media says that an all-powerful character "sees humans as insects" because that really could mean a lot of things. maybe they view us as insignifigant and will squish us under their boot. maybe theyre actually studying and cataloguing us for their thesis paper. maybe theyre campaigning for human protection because we're an important part of their ecosystem. maybe they see a human and go "ew ew ewwwwww someone get the cup and get that FREAK out of my house." .

You know, I think some of the people who don't like Martin treat him in a sort of similar way to how some people treat fictional women

Like, "how DARE him have flaws, not behave perfectly while being at his lowest AND not being the Best Boyfriend Ever while going through the LITERAL APOCALYPSE"

[candyskiez]

I love willing guard dogs <3 I love characters who devote themselves to someone to an all consuming and unhealthy extent and are aware of it and decide they don't care. I love when characters will tear the world apart for the ones they love regardless of whether or not they have any feelings about it. I love when a characters morals mean nothing next to the person they love. I love when they are fully capable of taking care of themselves and want to be owned and doted on anyway. I love when they brutally murder someone and the other looks at them with silent approval and they preen just a little, knowing they're doing a good job. I love. Guard dogs <3

[candyskiez]

I love when they look to their companion/handler for instructions on what to do subconsciously. I love when they're covered in blood and burying their face in their chest saying they're so glad they're safe. I love when they could be free and choose not to be, because why would they ever want that when their Person is right here? I love when someone refers to them as that persons attack dog and they don't even deny it. I love horrible toxic and mutually obsessive attack dog and handler dynamics hello hello hello-

[spin-the-wheel-polls]

you were almost turned into a vampire, but before you could be fully turned, the vampire was staked. This left you with a vampire weakness, while still being human.

Spin the wheel to find out your weakness!

How much does this effect you?

Nothing changes

It's inconvenient but I can deal with jty

It will be hard to adjust but I'll figure it out

I don't know if I'll be able to live like this

Maybe I can find another vampire to finish the turning?

I might just kill myself

Results/other

Remaining time: 3 days 3 hours

thanks @theemmjay for submitting this poll idea!! Seriously it's such a cool concept I love it so much

[troutfur]

Ultimately, you can like or dislike any character for whatever arbitrary reason. It's neither activism nor a moral failing, don't let the internet convince you otherwise. On the other hand, if you consistently find yourself lacking any interest in the, e.g., female characters of the media you engage with that may be a sign of some unconscious biases you need to examine.

[troutfur]

You say "be aware of your biases" once and all of a sudden your notes become filled with the most un-selfaware people on the whole website tripping over each other to justify themselves.

writing c!techno dialogue: a(n un)helpful guide:

finally succeeds at something after multiple attempts: first try [chat/phil/whoever else witnessed this]

gs at the ends of words? don't need those. put them in a jar for later.

he says people's names a lot, chat. either at the ends of sentences, or sometimes, chat, in the middle to split it into more manageable chunks.

when explaining something: well y'see,

at all times, there is an uncountable number of voices of dubious origin telling him to either a) commit murder or b) do a barrel roll, both of which he really doesn't want to do.

everything is for the bit. especially when it doesn't work or was the voices' fault.

anything can be funny if you say it without obvious emotion in your voice.

orphans are an acceptable target for when the voices finally get to him. so are baby zombies. especially baby zombies.

potatoes are the perfect food and must be brought up at the slightest glimmer of an opportunity.

they need to add a dust emoji. applications: to express that you have been ground up into dust. when you can't speak and you are coughing up dust. when you are dry and crumble into dust. when you are old and covered with dust. when a villain attacks your home and everything has been reduced to dust

[dogpuppy]

[eraserheadadult]

the situation with harry potter is kind of unprecedented in some ways imo because it is maybe the largest media franchise in history to be created & owned by a single person who still has direct creative control over it. who is also a billionaire with significant cultural/political influence. like the usual "no ethical consumption under capitalism" type excuses shatter on impact when the bigoted author in question is logging onto twitter every day saying explicitly that when you buy the tim hortons ravenclaw donut she is using your donut money to fund the genocide of trans people. like with big franchises usually there's at least a little more diffusion of responsibility than this

[eraserheadadult]

yknow what i mean it's usually like a journalist uncovering that a completely offline faceless ceo at Franchise Corp was funneling funko pop dollars into an anti abortion lobby or something. jkr is just online 24/7 like if you buy tickets to my wizard theme park you are helping me destroy the enemies of western civilization you are uplifting the voices of women who menstruate
