Captor Appreciation Blog

I just think they're neat.

This study is being done by Dr. Lisa Littman, Dr. Kenneth Zucker, and J. Michael Bailey. The same people behind the “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria” and other Transphobic pseudoscience. Do NOT give information to them via ayagdos, they have a long history of retractions and reported misconduct.

Report this ad wherever you see it. The fact that staff allows this kind of shit yet still turning a blind eye to everything else is just pure hatred.

Burden of Proof:

Scientists Behind the "Social Contagion" Myth Are Recruiting Trans Young People For Study, Community Leaders Warn

The project is called AYAGDOS—brought to you by the same names behind “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria” pseudoscience.

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access

ICE raids are set to start as soon as tuesday (JAN 21, 2025) in Chigago so make sure you know your rights, your community, and your plan.

ICE MUST have a warrant to search/enter any property. they will lie and manipulate you to allow them on the premises but if they arent holding a valid document in their hands they cannot legally do anything

They may say something like "our warrant is in the truck," tough shit, have them bring it to you, DO NOT FOLLOW THEM ANYWHERE. Do not leave your property if confronted.

If you are taken, say nothing until a lawyer is present. The exception is if there are bystanders present/filming, then you should shout your name and whats happening

If you are witnessing a raid in your community, wait to warn others via phone as the cops may be monitoring nearby communications and may use that to select their next targets. Warn by code or word of mouth

escape if the opportunity presents itself, but dont be stupid.

Reminder that it has been confirmed by ICE director Thomas Homan stated in his interview that Chicago will be ONE of the cities targeted Tuesday. If you live in a blue sanctuary city, consider either evacuating temporarily, finding a safe place to hide out, or stay home and DO NOT open your door for ICE. Stay strong and stay safe. And remember “LA MIGRA”

Sollux Voice Actor Needed!

We're looking for someone to voice Sollux in a fancy readthrough (audio drama, if you will) of the chatlog-style fanfic One of Our Submarines! A no SGRUB AU in which Sollux is helmed and invited into a secret network of Sufferer-following helmsmen. Prior read is not required, but it is an excellent fic and you should definitely check it out! (Whether you are interested in this role or not, wink.)

Sollux's role in this story is major! While there are no restrictions on who can audition, please be aware that this is a voice that necessitates quite a bit of range.

The only requirement is that it is asked you have a Discord; one is not necessary to audition but it is where discussions and putting together of the project take place.

How to audition?

You can hop into this project's Discord server and put your audition up there in the appropriate place, or message me on Tumblr with a link to your audition!

Lines are of your choice, you may read anything from canon or from the fanfic (there are some good ones right in chapter one!). Here is a random canon quote generator.

Thank you for your interest!

Other open roles are the rest of the Beta Trolls and some noncanon characters, including chapter one's co-star whom we also need a VA for! You can find out about more roles in the Discord server, or casting calls may come out as needed.

[lj-writes]

You wanna talk “coping” in fandom? Okay. Let’s talk about the mental health of fans of color. Let’s talk about how racism causes persistent emotional stress that negatively affects mental health. Let’s talk about how people of color who try to deny the existence and effect of racism can suffer lower self-esteem and internalized self-hatred as a result. Let’s talk about how even everyday microaggressions can pile up and cause depression, anxiety, and physical symptoms including pain and fatigue. Let’s talk about how a study of Black Americans found that distress from racial discrimination may contribute to age-related diseases like heart disease and diabetes.

Every single issue fans of color have discussed–the racist stereotypes, the fucking slavery and Holocaust AUs, the fetishization, the whitewashing, the erasure, the demonization–has been about their mental health. Every single step they have taken, from elaborate search filters to massive block lists, has been about getting some breathing space in a fandom that is relentlessly hostile to them.

So if you’re so concerned about the mental health of fans and the means they use to cope, why are you disregarding entire groups of fans who are trying to cope?

This is why it’s so disingenuous to answer discussions of fandom racism with “But what about coping?” Even leaving aside the fact that not all coping mechanisms are useful or healthy and that coping through racism is a pretty wtf proposition in itself, this response makes assumptions about mental health that are easily countered by research–that mental illness is necessarily an individual issue, and that discrimination like racism is not a significant, society-wide threat to the mental health of people affected by it. As though mental illness has a certain look that doesn’t include fans of color. As though fans who are outspoken about racism in fandom are posturing for moral high ground about an issue that harms no one. The “coping” response erases the mental health issues of fans of color, something they face all too often in real life.

I was this close to uploading this screenshot yesterday instead of the one I ended up posting but then I decided I’d treat y'all and let Mituna Captor do something in two’s like he was destined to do.

T-minus ~24 hours until the zine is released!

[captorappreciation]

Hello everyone! I apologize for using this blog to promo a project I've been working on when the blog is still, currently, inactive, but I really think that a lot of you here might be interested. (This is @rhythmic-idealist talking, hello ♡) The Distant Past zine is a collection of works from a fantastic group of creators, centered around the Homestuck Ancestors. It's been a long and rewarding several months working on the project, workshopping with each other, and trading thoughts, compliments, and critique, but we are FINALLY ready to release the zine tomorrow, October 18th! Definitely give @distantpastzine a follow if you're interested—and also, hey. If you're still here, after an indefinite radio silence this long, thanks for sticking with me.

[captorappreciation]

Our queue sure is empty!

Whoops. I'll fix that when I can, thank you for bearing with me.
