@canarycanard
it would be so awesome
it would be so cool
edit: idk if edits show up like this on posts but like. i have an educational reblog on this post. and. it is linked in the comments for easy finding. also added tags for filtering because this is my first containment breach i kinda half assed the tags when i posted this. i might add more if i see others add tags that make sense or if yall ask.
reblogs were off
this and also the only difference between fanfic writers and writers who sell their own original works as careers is that fanfics arenāt monetized. thatās all.
being a āprofessionalā writer doesnāt mean your works are inherently better than fanfics. Iāve read so many fics that are more professionally written than some published books.
whether or not a piece of writing is monetized has nothing to do with its quality.
Iām glad that OP:
1) Figured this out.
2) Shared so others can learn from their mistake.
There's a tumblr post floating around somewhere that says "We think that if we get better at writing, it will someday stop sounding like we wrote it" or something along those lines.
Does anyone happen to have a link handy? I want to reference it in an advice post.
Was it this one? š¤
Yes, thank you so much!!!!!
sometimes people experiencing psychosis and/or mania will come up to you on the street and talk in confusing or upsetting ways. your job is to either have a regular human-to-human conversation with that person or politely leave. your job is not to call 911. do not call 911. you might kill that person if you call 911.
I don't even have the energy to screenshot and respond to your tags- what the actual fuck is wrong with you? "the cops are scared and rightfully so" "mental health calls are the scariest for cops" OH so this isn't about the safety of psychotic & manic people this is about piggy feelings?
and no, actually, this is not USA specific and no, actually, people from other countries should not ignore this post. police violence and sanism weren't invented in the US and they are certainly not unique to here. if you (or anyone) thinks that this bullshit doesn't happen elsewhere then you are not listening.

i think something a lot of people don't get is that years of mocking your child, even in jest, does in fact tend to get under their skin
a decade or two of even light verbal harassment is very much accentuated when it's an authority figure you are in every meaningful way subservient to

also saw some post earlier today about how gen z isn't doing cults anymore. That's simply not true. It's simply not true. There are actually more cults than ever and they are on the discord app. You don't understand. They are doing struggle sessions in fandom discourds
the reason that OP claimed there were no gen z cults was because there's no cheap real estate to have a compound on anymore which is such an annoying ass bsky.app millennial take like I can hear you smirking behind your latte. No. "second location" is an outdated model. people figured out how to leave all the time back then. Now your phone is the second location and leaving your Phone Cult is so much harder
Some cults I know have lots of gen z members, off the top of my head
redpill incels
their worse cousin, blackpilled incels
Zizians
Rationalism in general
extreme political movements in general (both the right and the purity culture obsessed, pro revolution left)
fandom purity culture
I know this isn't the focus of this post but it's important. There are scads and scads of well established cults like Mormonism, Quiverfull, etc, which are established enough to be seen as regular religions instead of high control groups. Many of these cults encourage their members to have a lot of kids, so while you may mostly hear from the people who left, for each one there's easily a dozen more who didn't leave. I know people my age (20s) who were raised in these cults and have siblings who are still invested in the cult.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
"Wellness" influencers. "Beauty" influencers. "Fitness" influencers. "Finance" influencers. If they're on social media telling you they have secrets only they've unlocked and they're your only salvation, that only the few truly brilliant people can see their vision, that they're the only one holding the keys to the future you've been dreaming of, all you have to do is leave behind any friends or family that contradicts them, don't question, stop thinking for yourself, do everything they say, all for the low low price of your happiness-- they're a cult leader.
Other people have touched on this more eloquently, but I love that Ryland Grace is at his core a teacher. A middle school science teacher. Sure, his background as a former academic is also critical to the story, mostly because something about him needed to catch Stratt's eye and thus result in him getting dragged into the project, but more importantly than that, he hated being in academia. The book makes it fairly explicit that he wrote his controversial paper and insulted a leading scientist in his field because he was burnt out and hated the environment and got self-destructive as a result, which is a far less rosy view of academic science than I would have expected (and, frankly, completely believable).
And then he left and became a middle school science teacher. And that turned out to be his real calling. He was bright and creative and a little bit brilliant and a genuinely good scientist, and he gave that world up to teach kids and he loved it. Even after everything, after the Petrova Taskforce and Project Hail Mary and Tau Ceti and ultimately ending up on Erid, his calling is to teach kids.
As someone who has dipped in and out of the science communication/science education world myself, it's so important to me that Grace loves teaching, and especially that he loves teaching kids. People really devalue science communication work, and there's often this unspoken assumption that the people doing it just aren't "smart enough" to become real scientists, so they do scicomm instead. And everything about Grace flies in the face of that -- he's perfectly capable of doing the science, but it's not what he loves the most! What he loves and values and finds important is teaching, and I adore that. It's so refreshing to see, and such a genuine love letter to educators, and to everyone who chooses to prioritize communication and education regardless of how specialized they may or may not be in their field.
His happy ending is to be a teacher. And that's so important.
people who don't use or spend time on tumblr don't really understand how solid this place is for creatives and how we could be living in artist utopia if they fully undid the nsfw ban. the tag system? the dashboard? the silly anons who will send you the most insane sentences known to mankind? having your very old, shitty art make the rounds again because somebody finds value from it and wants to show their friends? no other place even comes close
hbo max blocks screenshots even when I use the snipping tool AND firefox AND ublock which is a fucking first. i will never understand streaming services blocking the ability to take screenshots thats literally free advertising for your show right there. HOW THE HELL IS SOMEBODY GONNA PIRATE YOUR SHOW THROUGH SCREENSHOTS. JACKASS
somewhere out there is a guy who meticulously takes screenshots of every individual frame of his favorite tv shows and then painstakingly etches each one onto a roll of film which he puts into his old timey projector and recreates the footage as a silent film with his own lavishly hand-lettered dialogue cards and original score that he plays on his upright piano and charges audiences one shiny penny a play. at last, big media has finally outsmarted ol' Zachary Zoetrope
PSA for everyone who doesn't know, explained simply
this is NOT because of blocking screenshots, it's because of HOW streaming sites use your computer's hardware to optimise performance, which means the thing rendering the video and the thing capturing your screen aren't the SAME thing. so they can't talk together.
you can fix this by going to your browser settings, searching for "hardware acceleration", and turning that off.
This also fixes screen sharing to other screens. It has been GODSEND

ol' Zachary Zoetrope is back in business!
Longtime readers may be aware of how much I relish an excuse to bully a company, so I'm sharing the wealth;
Clothing company Patagonia is currently sueing drag queen Pattie Gonia for "irreparableā harm to their brand.
To be clear; Pattie named herself after the region in South America.
So Pattie is asking people to politely ask Patagonia to drop the lawsuit.
I'm extending the invitation to all of you, because sueing a drag queen for 'infringement' in the current political cultural landscape is vile. Especially a drag queen who has raised millions of dollars for non-profits, uses her platform to raise awareness for climate activism, and fully aligns with Patagonia's apparent climate-conscious mission statement.
They're claiming they're sueing for $1. They're actually asking her to stop using her name, and pay over $1 million in legal fees. They're straight up harassing her.
In contrast, drag queen Jan Sport has a Jansport bag line. It's that easy to just... work with a queen.
Anyway. Be respectful(ish), but feel free to be annoying on Patagnoia's socials, asking them to 'DROP THE LAWSUIT'
I think they have a twitter and tiktok too!
