I couldn’t wait to post this commissioned fan art any longer.

It’s Abby and Carter from my story something might be found, a future fic in the ER fandom. Abby and Carter, now both older and wiser, get the timing right. 2020-2021 pandemic era. Abby’s POV.

There’s also a companion series of chronological one shots, spinning on that dizzy edge, from Carter’s POV.

There’s a Pride themed short story set in this verse, bonnie & clyde go to pride, though it may or may not be canon to the verse.

If what you’re looking for is Carby fix it fics for all seasons:

9/10: you left me in the dark

11: leave while there's still hope for escape (a fix-it set after s11e10 “Skin,” including the events of s11e12 “The Providers”)

Series finale (15): another vision of us (What if Abby came to the the Carter Center opening and not Kem?)

If what you want is canon adjacent Abby:

first rule of girls club S9 girls night out

i think i should be allowed to quit my job and write gross and smutty fanfiction all day and still pull in a salary. i think it's a reasonable ask.

[brawlite]

some key aspects of this post:

i want to write gross and smutty fanfiction all day

i do not want to turn that fanfiction into traditionally published work

i do not want to be paid for the fanfiction, nor do i want to be paid for the nonexistent fanfiction-turned-traditionally published work

i just to receive a salary

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

Everyone should be aware of nitter.net

for any address to twitter you can replace the “x.com” with “nitter.net” and you will be able to browse as if you have an account. Lifesaver.

Similarly, imginn.com works for most Instagram addresses. I still haven’t found one for Facebook.

You know how sometimes you catch yourself doing the thing that you always try to remember not to do and then the intense feeling of shame because dammit you did it again

Yeah

Jurassic Park was a massive part of my childhood and is still a big part of my life today. The news I heard this morning was genuinely heartbreaking. Sam Neill and Alan Grant will always hold a special place in my heart. Rest in peace Sam Neill, and my deepest condolences to his family.

“No, I don’t hate it.”

A small detail from a scene of “Dreamland II” I find intriguing is when Scully exposes Morris Fletcher as fake Mulder. Fletcher has just more or less dragged her onto the waterbed, and they are both lying next to each other looking at themselves in the mirror above.

“You hate it”, Fletcher/Mulder tells her, half question, half statement. There’s a significant little pause before she answers, in a pensive, (I find) somewhat sad tone: “No, I don’t hate it”. And this is revelatory, and I love it to bits, because it's so cleverly done, both visually and how GA interprets it. What she sees in the reflection is something unreal (and that’s what we see in mirrors, an inverted, alternative world, a possible threshold, think of Alice’s Looking glass), a wish: Mulder and herself together, in a bed = as lovers. But what’s meaningful, it’s what we see and hear there as well: not Fletcher, as in all the other body-switch scenes, but Mulder, speaking with his own voice. We get to see her dream-wish too.

Then Fletcher turns around, rests his face on his hand and says, “You hate it”. Scully pauses, knowing it is Fletcher but choosing to look at the “Dreamland” up there for two more heartbeats. “No, I don’t hate it”, she says in that melancholy voice and means, I wish this were real, I wish it were you here with me instead of this horrible man. Then sits up, slips back into reality (steels herself, I guess) and proceeds to unmask Fletcher.  

There is so much in this single sentence for me, it’s so subtly done and so precious to me that she reveals what she is longing for by saying it the way she does.

Wildfires in northern Ontario force First Nations to flee

Several wildfires are forcing members of a number of First Nations to flee their homes in northern Ontario.

“I had time to run home and pack a bag and get to the beach where the boats were waiting,” said a member of Namaygoosisagagun First Nation (Collins). “We literally had minutes to get on the boats and flee before it took our town. “Once we left my house finally after packing what I could in a pack sack, the fire was right behind our place. We had to run to the beach and once we got there, it was only moments before the fire had jumped over the (train) track and was coming for us.”

it has since been confirmed that namaygoosisagagun first nation has completely burnt to the ground. if you would like to help the community navigate an ongoing crisis, i urge you to donate to the anishinabek nation 7th generation, a registered charity seeking to improve the lives of first nations people. donations are going directly to members of namaygoosisagagun first nation.

Why It Is Not Surprising That There Are Old People On Tumblr, and Why We Are Surprised By It Anyway

I don’t know how the whole debate about the X-Files’ original demographic got started, so it would be foolish for me to enter into it. But I have been interested to see the information going around about tumblr’s actual demographic breakdown, and to discover that the percentage of people on tumblr under the age of 18 is comparatively small.

I’m 46. I can tell you why I’m on tumblr, and why it makes sense to me that a lot of people in my age range or slightly younger are on it. And yet I too had the impression, when I first signed on, that tumblr was basically a teenagers’ site, and quite frankly felt very weird about that at first. I’m going to talk about what ‘social media’ (we were not calling it that then) was like back in the 1990s when we first started using it, and why I think tumblr replicates some aspects of that experience, and how and why I think tumblr creates the impression that its main demographic is 13-18 year olds. This is all subjective opinion and you don’t have to believe any of it. But you know, old people, we are always trying to share our wisdom. We can’t help it. I know it’s annoying.
