instant revenge

[headspace-hotel]

My opinion on virtually all internet discourse is that social media is catastrophically bad for having conversations about anything that matters.

People speak of online "spaces" but online does not have physical space in it and that is the problem.

It's like if all the conversations people ever had in public had to take place in a huge warehouse-sized room where everyone could hear and see everyone else at the exact same volume and with the exact same clarity no matter where they were standing.

Some people are seriously discussing political action. Some people are goofing off. Someone is panhandling, someone is venting to their friends about something awful that happened to them, someone is giving a speech about a topic that interests them, someone is crying about the pain in their life, someone is just thinking out loud to themselves, a bunch of people just want to watch movies or hang out with their friends. Someone is trying to sell some junk. A bunch of people are passing around newspapers.

And all of these people can hear and see each other perfectly so that they don't even know if they themselves or anyone else is in an intimate conversation with people who sympathize, if they're having a town hall meeting, if they're attending a lecture, if they are behind the podium giving a lecture, if they're hanging out at the bar with friends, if they're in their friend's car, or if they're just in a public park watching the clouds.

If someone who thinks they're in the movie group makes a comment about the movie, the people who think they're in the audience at the lecture hall will think the movie watcher is the lecturer behind the podium. So, they will turn to their friends and say "wow, get a load of that guy, they just said..." but the people who think they are at a town hall meeting will think "wow, this is clearly an important concern," but the person who thinks they are crying to their friends is like "Seriously? We're talking about a MOVIE when my life is falling apart?"

The truth is we are not at the bar or in a lecture hall or in a public park or in a town hall meeting. We are in the Warehouse Where Everyone Can See And Hear Everyone Else. And that's why everyone is so stressed out and pissed off all the time.

hello Iris! besides your own fics (which are incredible, btw), do you have any favorite dm ones? can you share with us? :-)

Hello there! I tend to read a lot of @hummingbee-o0o, @arabellatheauthor, and @lexdelioncourt lately. They’re friends of mine; I also enjoy their DM work. I used to compile long rec-lists in past fandoms, but I feel like it’s been ages since I’ve had the bandwidth to do that because my teaching load has increased, I’ve been writing a lot, and I’ve been involved in labor-intensive fandom projects over the past couple years.

(And thank you, re: my stories. There are few things I love more than writing!)

i'm sorry this review of lestat's album is so fucking funny

the year is 2035. the new beauty standard is for women to cut their ears off, as ears are a masculine trait which make the face look too big and hearing isnt necessary as it doesnt align with being demure. evil feminists say perhaps this is unnecessary and ears are natural. women are agressively proclaiming they are cutting their ears off due to sensory issues

Something a bit more experimental than usual that I had a lot of fun working on and! My full piece for the lovely Heritage minizine!

The pose was inspired by Michelangelo’s Pietà Bandini (but make it mutual feeding 🩸)

I understand the urge to comment on recent trends in which people seem to want increasingly sanitized media compared to the recent past, but when you say things like "people used to just shrug and move on when there were books and movies that made them uncomfortable" it's like...well. actually people used to convict artists of obscenity in a court of law.

We're at the "JK Rowling is personally funding litigation to try and destroy AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL" stage of rabid UK terf brain.

Screenshot via Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net on bluesky

Tldr Amnesty International, global human rights organisation, published a report called 'A growing threat: the anti-rights movement in the UK'. In it is detailed, amongst others, a whole bunch of transphobic groups and organisations, including Beira's Place, JK Rowling's trans exclusionary sexual violence support service. JK Rowling threw a shit fit and got Amnesty to take the report down by threatening libel. This was obviously not enough, because you can't appease a fascist, so now she's going to bankroll a bunch of lawsuits anyway through the JK Rowling Women's Fund.*

You can read an archived version of the report here, please save it and share it.

*Not so friendly reminder there is no way to engage in the wizard books without enabling this shit.
