Dropping into tumblr in 2025 because you miss all the fanart (after leaving when yahoo bought it) is wild.

Like, what is up with all the ads? Why are there no gifsets on my dash? There are whole new settings options...

[parkerspicedlatte]

If you see this on your DASHBOARD please re-blog so that the previous blog knows they haven't been muted!!!

I weirdly love that there are crotchety fandom elders around who say shit like “in my day, (insert fandom term) meant this specifically, but now you kids just use it to mean any old thing.”

It seriously gives fandom such a sense of heritage and family, like yes grandma, tell me more about how you had to write fic uphill both ways in the snow when you were my age.

you darn kids and your drabbles that aren’t exactly 100 words

In the OLDEN DAYS antis had to stand in front of your HOTEL ROOM DOOR to stop people from buying photocopied zines with the wrong ship in them.

[poiregourmande]

me: you’ve already used this exact turn of phrase two paragraphs ago, that’s too repetitive

me, an intellectual: if I use it three more times it becomes a motif

I want to title the novel chapter I’m working on “how not to be expectant when you’re not expecting”, but since there is a 0% chance of any pregnancy in this book maybe I should save that. I could boringly hi for “great expectations” instead.

Language learning

So, I’m learning Moroccan Arabic (nothing like standard Arabic, FYI). I had a tutoring session today with a woman who speaks no English. It was our second meeting. At the first, there were a lot of charades. But I’m between meets, I made the mistake (?) of revealing my Spanish is waaay more passable than she initially believed. This time: 75% Spanish as she explained grammar rules. On the one hand, I understand the grammar things now. OTOH, I learned more Moroccan vocabulary the first time around. I guess my tutoring sessions are now two for one!

Why You Should Actually Be Terrified Right Now

Stripping citizens of their passports is a precursor to genocide.

It’s what happened to Jews in Germany in 1938 when their passports were declared invalid. That is what is beginning to happen here, now, to Hispanic citizens along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Oh, is it bad to compare the GOP to Nazis? Well, if members of the GOP do not like being compared to Nazis, they should consider not behaving exactly like Nazis.

Hispanic U.S. citizens, some of whom were in the U.S. military, are not being allowed to renew their passports. This is reportedly happening to “hundreds, even thousands” of Latinos, according to a report in the Washington Post. They’re getting letters from the State Department saying it does not believe they are citizens. The government claims their citizenships are fraudulent. “I’ve had probably 20 people who have been sent to the detention center—U.S. citizens,” Jaime Diez, an attorney in Brownsville, told The Washington Post.

The Washington Post also reports on ICE officials coming to citizens’ homes and taking their passports away. This is an escalation from a few months ago, when Americans were detained by ICE officials just for speaking Spanish to one another.

The administration is currently launching an effort to take citizenship from people who they suspect of fraud in obtaining it. Fraud in these cases is exceedingly rare. The last time the government tried to strip people of their citizenship was, according to Columbia Professor Mae Ngai, during The Red Scare of the 1950s. As Ngai remarks, McCarthyism is not typically remembered as a good period in American history.

There is good reason to believe that this could portend still worse things to come for the U.S. Hispanic population, unless people begin to speak out loudly, and fast.

First, they came for the Hispanics and I did nothing.

Then they came for (fill in the blanks) and I did nothing.

Then, when they came for me, there was no one to do nothing.
