Archive locked my fics given the recent AI nonsense. They're still there, just gotta be logged in to see them

[gatesofminrathous]

there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.

[sabertoothwalrus]

if someone makes a post venting about fandom racism you can reblog it without

asking the poc around you to keep you in check and call you out

saying “as a white person…”

saying “fellow whites, we need to…”

mentioning your whiteness at all

saying anything. like. just say nothing!

shut the fuck up

[veliseraptor]

coming back online to share some important news: per this reddit post, the Annotated Mountain Goats will be taken down soon due to the local hosting for it ending. if you aren't familiar with tAMG, it's been an incredible resource for tMG lyrics, explanations, info, banter, etc. for many years, created and maintained by one person, up until the project was discontinued and the site was left in an archival state in 2017. presumably, someone out there will pick up the thread and bring tAMG back online someday--in fact, there are already people continuing the good work, like More Annotated tMG-- but for now, if you want to know for sure that you'll have it, i advise saving a local copy. here's a zip of it that i snagged from a friend and put on google drive, which you can download and unzip, navigate to the folder, open any html file, and navigate with the files on your local computer the same way you would as a website. the site is fully archived and navigable via the wayback machine, as linked above, but wayback has gone down before; as an archivist, i say: the only way to be sure that something will continue is to do it with your own hands. carry the torch!

‘The biggest rollback of disability rights in a generation’ – Charities respond to Supreme Court ruling

The uk Supreme Court has just done a major rollback on disability rights and is putting more disabled people in danger

[roboticutie]

Under this new ruling, multiple vulnerable groups will be impacted across social care and healthcare sectors. If an autistic person with high support needs, someone with a serious mental illness, or a person with a severe learning disability is locked in a care setting and sedated, but does not actively protest, they will no longer be considered "confined" by the state. They will lose their automatic right to independent reviews, a legal advocate, and protection from closed care cultures.

This ruling states if someone is sedated and does not instigate a complaint regarding their circumstances while ACTIVELY SEDATED, then they have no right to legal checks and balances to preserve their wellbeing??? Is this correct??? The UK is falling apart.

[flowercrowncrip]

As far as I can tell from reading the statement by Mind and the BBC article, this ruling states that people who don’t have the legal capacity to understand why they’re being physically or chemically restrained/ kept in a locked care home or ward etc. are still able to give “consent” to that treatment in a way that it doesn’t count as a deprivation of liberty.

So if someone is chemically sedated, doesn’t understand that’s what’s happening, but doesn’t complain then they could be seen to be “consenting” to that treatment. That’s true even if they don’t know what the medication is, what the effects are, how long they last or that there might be other options.

Because the presence of “consent” means that a restriction wouldn’t be considered “Deprivation of Liberty” it means these people aren’t entitled to deprivation of liberty safeguards, which including having independent checks to make sure that any restrictions to their freedom is proportionate and that they’re not being abused in that setting.

One of the reasons the ruling was made is that it placed an “undue burden” on local authorities. Basically local governments were like “hey we’re massively failing our legal duties to protect incredibly vulnerable people from abuse, any chance you could let us off so we don’t have to do it?” And the UK Supreme Court agreed with them.

i really really hate how normalized it is to tell people to kill themselves

auto immune disorders happen when the immune system ignores regulatory factors and begins attacking healthy bodily tissues, due to what scientists refer to as "sheer love of the game"

Happy Belated Birthday to Katie Ledecky, who has turned every list of women’s long distance swimming records into a joke about Katie Ledecky.

i love that we and cats share pareidolia (seeing patterns where they dont exist), but instead of seeing faces in everyday objects like us, they see snakes

that computer cord? snake. string? small snake. cucumber? short fat straight snake

[yiffmaster]

snake pareidolia is one of the strongest things in human minds too! people report freezing mid-stride before being consciously aware of a snake in front of them, and the same happens with coiled rope, etc. in humans and other primates. it’s even been proposed that the need to detect snakes was a factor in the development of primates’ insanely good color eyesight

[ehlbee]

It’s because snakes are wonderful and we must stop and admire them at any cost

[bebsi-cola]

it's ironic that ableds love using disabled people for inspiration porn but hate actually giving the vast majority of disabled people the tools and accommodation to facilitate disabled people doing more with their time. it's almost like the point of it isn't to inspire but to create a false narrative that disability can be overcome with strength of will because look at these people who did it! now stop asking for help

me, quietly whispering to the ao3 page of an author who doesn’t even know I exist: I am obsessed with you

[newskyillusion]

me, whispering to the ao3 page of an author who hasn’t updated anything in four years: I think about you often and I hope you’re alright

[azrielgreen]

me, whispering to the ao3 page of an author who wrote one life altering banger and nothing else: I hope your pillow is cool and your skin is clear and you find money in a forgotten jeans pocket

[jezebelgoldstone]

me, whispering to every single person on this post: please leave one singular comment saying literally any of that
