the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

This is an awesome use of what is probably a master's degree if not a doctorate and I am 100% thrilled that she shared it even though it was embarrassing and she squeaked.

I bring a real “human lives are more important than animals. Yes, even than your doggo” vibe to the function that the people airlifting dogs out of warzones really don’t enjoy

whenever i see a post that says shit like "there is no trans agenda we just want to live in peace" i roll my eyes like speak for yourself amiguita because transphobes have an agenda and they are very very organized and focused in pushing it forward and if we cannot get organized and focus to fight back then trust me nobody's gonna do it for us. "there's no trans agenda" okay well maybe there should be!

[swiftrunnerfelidae]

The trans agenda is "we would like to be alive and not harassed and we want the people who want to get in our way of this to not get in our way of this".

[txttletale]

people saying shit like this is literally what the post is about!!

[taraxippos]

There is definitely a phenomena where people try SO hard to avoid anthropomorphism they end up looping around into this quasi-religious stance that humans have some essential non-biological quality that sets us apart from other animals. Like being so cautious about how you describe emotion experienced by a nonhuman animal that you go "that animal is not 'happy' it's just demonstrating a response to positive stimuli and receiving chemical reward signals" as if that's not also what human emotion is at the fundamental level.

I feel like a very important part of worldbuilding for any universe with a magic system is asking yourself ‘how would people use this to do crime?’
