YES IT'S WRONG. He's not "with" Gabrielle, it's sexual abuse. Like, it's explicit that it's abuse and not consensual.
The fuck?
Look, dislike him for how he treated Claudia or Louis. That's fine, that's whatever. But you hate an abuse victim who, as of this episode is still actively being abused? What, you hate him for what Magnus did to him too?
Today is the eighth anniversary of my mother's death.
I thought it was the ninth but sometimes time is funny like that and you think something is longer than it actually is. In those eight years I've mourned her and tried to stand on my own and in the last year I've come to see that the person I was led to believe was my "big protector" was just as much of an abuser as everyone else in my life.
I used to love my mother. I saw her as brave for everything she had endured in life; sexual and physical abuse, ritual abuse, domestic violence, being in and out of children's homes as she tried to run away from the abuse... But the truth is, she wasn't brave. Bravery would have been to actually get the psychological help needed to heal instead of re-enacting that trauma over and over again through her children.
Bravery would have been leaving my father the second I told her that he threw me in the corner, not staying until his abuse affected her again. Bravery would have been making sure my sister and I never saw him again, not constantly sending us back to be mentally and in some cases physically abused. My mother was a coward and worse, she spent years... Decades making sure I was too. She enmeshed herself in my life, stole my money, my independence and what little humanity I had so I couldn't survive on my own, all while saying she was my "Big Protector".
She protected me alright... From the world, from having friends or people who care about me. Protected me from the career I'd always wanted. She made the world a scarier, lonelier place, even after death but I'm free of her now.
At least I'd like to be. I want to be free of her and have my own life without her umbilical cord wrapped around my neck like it has been since the day I was born, suffocating the life and light out of me.
Rest in Piss Barbara, you won't be missed anymore.
general situation update and help post because i am losing it. im a disabled trans man that has been financially struggling for a while around some serious medical issues and interpersonal circumstances, i was homeless in 2023 and have been trying to get back on my feet ever since, but have really struggled with skyrocketing energy bills and grocery costs. I make $940 a month that is capped by the federal government, while my rent for my current 1 bedroom now averages at $1125 a month minimum and I cannot keep up, my mom and step dad have a possible solution for the time being that would be indefinite but also way more stable and much cheaper for me not only in terms of paying less than half of what im paying in rent now but also moving costs in general, and have made a gofundme to help cover the costs of this possible option as i have to figure out something by november, there are more details on the fundraiser itself here
my name is Aidan and I have struggled with disability and poverty for many years. … Aiden Crider needs your support for Help Aidan Move to a
if you enjoy my art at all or like what i post, and would like to help me move, i would deeply appreciate it. i am unable to work a typical job due to disability, the constant stress and tenants rights abuses on top of costs i just cant afford anymore, my financial well being is worse than its ever been and, and the constsnt hustling to cover rent and bills is taking a serious toll on my already unstable physical health.
my Paypal.me: one of the easiet way to help outside of gofundme
Kofi: another easy way to help outside of gofundme
i do not like the waiting game but i currently have 2 different listing agents at separate companies helping me out to find a suitable townhouse rental as my mom and i work out the other option, writing up a more indepth update on gofundme specifically, but general consensus is to find a suitable/affordable place before november to then fully move out in early november to then be ready for hernia surgery mid-november, and i am stressed
A Plea from the Heart: I Am Fatima, and This Is My Story
My name is Fatima, a teacher from Gaza. I used to work in a small school I loved dearly, planting hope in the hearts of children and teaching them that tomorrow could be better. But the war took everything away. My school was bombed, I lost my job, and our home was reduced to rubble. Yet, I refused to give up. I set up a small tent amid the destruction and continued teaching children, showing them that knowledge is a light that cannot be extinguished, even in the darkest times.
My husband, Akram, was my partner and pillar of support. But he was severely injured in an attack targeting civilians. His abdominal injuries are so severe that he can no longer work or even lift basic items. Every day, I see the pain in his eyes and feel the weight of helplessness, but I try to stay strong for him and for our children.
Our eldest, Manar, is four years old, and she’s missing out on her childhood amidst this devastation. Our youngest, Ibrahim, was born under bombardment just a year ago. He has suffered greatly due to the lack of milk and proper medical care. Yet, sometimes, he smiles, and in those brief moments, I find the strength to keep going.
We now live in a fragile tent that doesn’t shield us from the cold or rain. Every day is a new battle for survival. I write these words while holding my children’s hands, with nothing left but my faith in God and the hope that your kind hearts will hear our plea.
Please help us provide milk and food for our children, ease Akram’s pain, and rebuild even a small part of the life the war has destroyed. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a big difference in our lives.
I ask you to share our story and be our support during this harsh and unforgiving time.

I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and ignores me. I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and does not support me with a single word or a small donation, and ignores me.
Did you see this? Shall I tell you what this is? Yes, I will! They buried him under concrete... A young man from Gaza, trapped under the rubble of war and cruelty, trying to erase his existence. Even in death, the occupation robbed him of dignity, his body covered in cement as if this weren't just destruction. This is a brutality beyond words. In Gaza, people aren't just fighting for survival—they're fighting to be remembered as human beings. How much more horror must this world witness before it chooses humanity?
Now, if you want to help, my nephew is sick and needs urgent surgery. We need 700 euros for the operation, and it will be up to you whether you will help or if my nephew will end up like the young man in the picture.
Two people have donated 20 euros each, but we still need 680 euros for my nephew's surgery. Please don't let us down. Donate, donate to save my nephew! 🥺💔
Isn't what I've lost enough? Isn't it enough that I lost my mother, the most precious thing I had, because of the occupation? They prevented her from traveling, and she was sick with cancer. Or should I tell you about my brother, who was martyred in this war? He was the father of my nephew, who needs surgery. He was killed by a bullet to the head. Or my uncle, who was martyred, and half of my relatives and friends. I'm trying so hard not to lose my young nephew too. Please donate, don't let us down. Donate, donate! 💔😭
Guys, we still need 665 euros for my nephew's surgery. Please, please don't let us down. Donate, donate! I don't want to lose my nephew. Donate, donate! 💔😭
That number may seem small to some people, but for my family, it feels like an impossible mountain. We are painfully close to getting the medicines my parents urgently need, yet we are running out of time.💔
I am exhausted from watching my parents suffer and from feeling powerless to help them. Every day that passes without their medication fills me with fear. I keep wondering how much longer they can hold on while we struggle to raise this final amount.😔
The cruelest feeling in the world is knowing that the people you love are suffering while the solution is so close, yet still out of reach. We only need $360. Just $360 separates my parents from the treatment they desperately need. We are not asking for a miracle. If just 15 people donate $25, we can reach our goal today. Fifteen people could change everything for my family.😔💔
Since yesterday, not a single donation has come ,I keep refreshing the fundraiser, hoping to see even a small donation appear. Hoping someone will care. Hoping someone will understand that behind this number are two human beings who are in pain and a family terrified of losing them.💔
If you can help and choose not to, please know that this is not just another post for us. This is our parents' lives. This is our fear. This is our desperation. We are not asking for luxury, comfort, or anything extra-we are simply trying to keep the people we love alive.
Please, don't leave us alone in this moment. Help us reach the last $360 before another day passes that my parents cannot afford to lose.🙏💔😔
My mother’s condition has worsened, and she has been taken to the hospital. She is suffering from dangerously high blood pressure and must take her medication every single day. We are still missing just $212, but right now that amount feels like the distance between hope and another medical crisis 😔
I am terrified watching my mother suffer while knowing that her condition could become even worse if we cannot afford her medication. Please, I am begging you, donate whatever you can. No amount is too small. Every dollar brings us closer to getting the medicine she urgently needs and protecting her from further complications.💔😔
Please don’t leave us alone in this moment. My mother’s health cannot wait. 🙏💔😔
For those of you that don’t know this is the sweet and loving kid that is the current voice of Gumball for Cartoon Network. He has a youtube channel and in there you will not find anything like this, because as I said this is a very sweet kid but he just goes completely ape shit when he saw the opportunity to kill James Charles
And for those who also don’t know James Charles is a racist piece of shit who uses his sexuality as a cover to excuse his racism. Also he doesn’t consider trans men real men.
If you haven’t heard, today PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome has been renamed to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. This change reflects that this is not a reproductive “problem” but a whole body disease.
(Text: PCOS affects an estimated 10-13% of reproductive-aged women. It is estimated that up to 70% of women with PCOS worldwide do not know they have this condition.)
The Lancet link about shift to PMOS. Spread this to everyone who works in health care now. People with uteruses and ovaries are in agony - yes, the whole body suffers a crisis every fkn month - and health care should help
“how to recognize AI in fanfic” — hey so this is another not-gentle reminder that AI stole from us. it’s using OUR words and OUR sentences and OUR styles.
writing “long” paragraphs is not a sign of AI — it’s a common narrative choice many writers make both in fanfiction and in traditionally published novels, and AI stole it from us.
using an em dash is not a sign of AI. it’s a stylistic sentence choice that’s been an option in place of commas and semicolons for a very long time, and AI stole it from us.
long sentence structures are not a sign of AI, but are yet another stylistic choice writers often make to create a cadence and tone that mimics the flow of poetry, and AI stole it from us.
“YA narrative breaks”? i don’t even know what the fuck this means, but i can guarantee that AI stole it from us.
italics are once again a stylistic choice that many writers love to use to create emphasis, and it’s a more stylistically acceptable and traditional form of emphasis than bold or underline text. oh, and just to be extra clear: AI STOLE IT FROM US.
stop creating fandom witch hunts over AI when you know fuck all about what it means to sit and write a story, and to spend hours fiddling with sentence structure and dialogue to get the exact right tone. writers will stop writing out of fear that their work “sounds like AI” — IT DOESNT! AI STOLE FROM US! AI SOUNDS LIKE US! — and after a while, all that will be available on AO3 is shitty AI-generated fanfiction.
because yeah, people are going to continue to use AI to write fanfiction whether you “call them out” or not. but making a laughable thread on X that uses asinine criteria is not going to fix that problem. it will just push the real writers out because people will accuse them of using AI when they haven’t, and they will (rightfully) stop writing for spaces that attack them.
I can definitively prove that every single "marker" of AI has been present in my writing since the year of our Lord nineteen fucking ninety seven. Fuck AI.
My family is homeless and we're struggling to keep ourselves afloat while we look for work. These last couple of months have been especially miserable with us being sick so much and mental health being at an all time low. This has been dragging on way longer than I thought it could and I'm feeling close to giving up.
I'm asking around for help covering food, medicine, and temporary shelter while I try to get us out of this situation. We've been getting plenty of likes and shares but barely anything has been coming in these last few weeks. I don't know how much longer we can keep going like this without support. Anything helps.
There also needs to be a button for “this is the 5000th time I’ve read your fic because I’m having a horrible day and this is the only thing in the world that always brings me happiness.”
Honestly though, comments like that are gold to me. I love to write and a comment telling me that something I’ve done has improved someone’s life even in a small way? That’s impact. We live in societies that tell us over and over we have no value and nothing we do is ever good enough. So for someone to post a comment telling us that we improved their lives with our stories? That tells us our effort had value. We writers set out to improve the world in tiny ways, offering random acts of kindness in the form of a few minutes’ entertainment, and comments tell us we’ve achieved that little goal.
You can totally come back and leave a comment under that comment a year later! I’m glad to know you are still enjoying it and want to know if you’re doing okay.
There is no higher compliment than a re-read. The longer the time that has passed, the higher it is. It means a story resonated and stayed with someone.
