An update on me and this blog.

Hello guys. I know I have been MIA for a long time now. To be honest, I don't even use Tumblr casually anymore. I am almost about to graduate law school and even with the Covid situation 2020 was very hectic for me. I had back-to-back internships, projects, field work for legal clinics and no time to even read fanfics let alone write them.

Unfortunately, this is going to continue for the first six months of 2021 as well, at least till I sit for my placements. Hopefully, from August everything will slow down.

To answer all the anons and asks piled up in my inbox for months, I do want to continue and finish lifeline, for the sole reason I like writing that story and I have an ending in mind for it. I don't keep up with bts (or k-pop) anymore and they don't inspire me to write new stuff either, but I aim to finish lifeline anyway.

As for the other stories. I have decided to discontinue Days of The Week series. I don't have the mental bandwidth to imagine scenerios for the other guys.

I'm making Baby, You're Bad public domain by my own choice. I really like the idea behind the story that I came up with and I would love to see it expanded. This can be done in two ways and I'm giving permission for both.

1) Any fanfic writer is free to take my idea, build upon it and write their own story from start to finish.

2) Any fanfic writer can use the first chapter of Baby, You're Bad that I have written and continue the story from there on, using the first chapter as the start. (Do give me credit for the first chapter if you do)

Please keep in mind that this permission is only for the story Baby, You're Bad.

That's all. I hope you're all doing good. Hopefully I'll be back in August.

Weird peeve time. Calling lab grown gemstones "fake" is stupid because it's the same shit just not formed naturally. An artificially grown diamond is the same shit as a natural diamond it is the exact same material bro it's all fuckign carbon

[tlirsgender]

It's carbon it's pretty and it didn't involve slave labor what's not to love??? Hi I'm having geology opinions tonight apparently. And I'm right

[tlirsgender]

There is so much bullshit in the diamonds industry to be mad about tbh. It also ties into the bullshit of the wedding industry as a whole but we don't have the time to unpack all that

[val-ritz]

not even going to lie, the day i learned i could get like 15 lab grown rubies the size of dimes for $20 is the day i spent $20 on rubies, and i have never once said to myself "man, i wish this cost $1,600 and the lives of eight children to produce"

gendering strangers is a bad habit gendering strangers is something we have to unlearn gendering strangers is something I’m still working on not doing gendering strangers is harmful

please please please unlearn what society has taught you train yourself to say “they” until told differently by the individual

[porygons-deactivated20150402]

Trans people work very hard to be gendered correctly by strangers. Don’t erase that by falling for posts like these. Gendering strangers is natural and okay.

[dykedekuremade]

Do not gender strangers. 

There are people who do not abide by the gender binary. Do not gender strangers until you find out their pronouns.

[forgottenpasta]

This post is very English language specific, this won't work in many other languages. Plus, this discounts people who do not like to be called "they". I have a trans friend who hates when people call her they instead of she. she considers it misgendering.

As I've said before, we should be allowed to hunt men for sport.

[mariacallous]

Holy fuck this is one of the smarmiest and condescending things I’ve seen written this year.

Does the writer of this have a doctorate of their own, by any chance?

[kendallroy-deactivated20210425]

[chronicallyedelgard]

Also love that research into retaining community college students by meeting their needs is “unpromising”

[year-of-the-terf-deactivated202]

Here’s the full piece

[greenwire]

the author, unsurprisingly, barely has a bachelor’s degree. he skated by because of adjunct work and a massive inferiority complex against tenure eligible faculty

and I hate to be THIS kind of phd but a doctorate is not just a terminal degree but THE terminal degree. The convention is that you list your degrees from least to most advanced, which is why if you have a medical degree and a doctorate of philosophy, your professional title is Jane Doe, M.D., Ph.D. Because phd is more advanced than md. It’s the same with juris doctor too. A doctorate degree requires that you contribute to the field in which you received your dr, unlike a medical degree or juris doctor, which require that you learn existing knowledge about human systems and pathology, or existing laws.

If anything, medical doctors should be calling themselves physicians and stop trying to steal the title of doctor since they can’t seem to share. And pretentious undereducated men should stop projecting their insecurities onto women who have accomplished more than they.

[appropriately-inappropriate]

“Nobody should call himself a doctor unless he’s delivered a child”

Well, someone ought to tell that to the neurologists, anaesthesiologists, optometrists, cardiothoracic surgeons, oncologists, and gastroenterologists who have MD after their names!

As for “delivering a child”, last I checked she’s delivered at least one more child than you, kiddo, so sit down, and suck on your binkie.

When you bullshit an essay and manage to get a good grade.

[justsomeantifas]

call me ignorant but i genuinely don’t understand why sports have to be split up by gender.

[robobun]

@ everyone in the notes talking about physical performance: if that were the case, then sports would be divided by physical performance. that’s a thing you can measure. that’s a thing that varies by individual. a weak man and a strong man would be an unfair fight in boxing/wrestling/MMA, which is why they divide those sports up into weight groups based on physical performance. but they also further segregate them based on gender. chess is segregated by gender for no reason but sexism. if it’s actually about skill and physical ability, then measure those and separate people by those metrics. don’t do some bullshit gender segregation and pretend like men and women are inherently on different levels no matter their individual abilities.

Remember that time a teenage girl struck out Babe Ruth? That’s fucking why. Men are afraid of being beaten by women.

[amuseoffyre]

Remember that time male swimmers were pulled out of training because Kate Ledecky was leaving them ‘broken’ by swimming better than them? Remember how she didn’t even notice, because she was busy actually training?

[notanadult]

Shooting is a sport that has no reliance on strength and so any allowance for gender variation is irrelevant. The last time there was a mixed competition (1992) a chinese woman named Zhang Shan won it.

[murderxbaby-deactivated20190102]

It’s often presented as for the benefit of women. After all, they’ll be heartbroken when they‘re hurt or bested by men.

Projection is a hell of a drug. 

[dick-graysons-left-butt-cheek]

[yungcrybby-anonymousbosch666]

this is why they drug test Serena like crazy. the believe no woman should be that good. let alone a black woman. and black women have always been considered “manly” and less feminine.

[iampikachuhearmeroar]

also can we talk about how surfing is segregated as well? like how the dude who won this years international surfing cup or whatever was given $30,000 worth of prize money, while the woman who won the women’s comp was only awarded like $16,000 of prize money???? or whatever it was. but I know it was either half or less than half of what the man won. like why can’t they get the same prize money and when they’re competing internationally in the same competition? they surely have the same level of skill and talent.

[yungcrybby-anonymousbosch666]

the pay gap in sports between men and women is fucking insane.

[torukun1]

The pay gaps, not to mention lack of sponsorships for women athletes who don’t look like models is insane. If you weigh over 250 pounds, no one will sponsor you. It’s why most female Olympic-class weightlifters live in poverty/out of their cars.

Reminder that in international (and usually national too) womens athletics anybody with 5m/mol of natural testosterone or higher is disqualified. (See legal case of Dutee Chand vs IAAF.)

Do you or somebody you know have PCOS? You are banned from international womens athletics because you are supposedly in posession of an unreasonable advantage in sports.

Folks disqualified for hyper-androgenism in womens athletics.

Francine Niyonsaba

Caster Semenya

Dutee Chand

Margaret Wambui

And more

-

Why are those disqualified overwhelmingly black and brown? Because testing is case by case when an athletes performance “raises suspicions”. They overwhelmingly test athletes of colour, for being too fast and not meeting white expectations of femininity.

Racism and intersexism(discrimination against intersex people) in sports is abject evil. Desegregate sports.

“Mazzucato lists twelve crucial technologies that make smartphones “smart”: (1) microprocessors;(2) memory chips; (3) solid state hard drives; (4) liquid crystal displays; (5) lithium-based batteries;(6) fast Fourier transform algorithms; (7) the internet; (8) HTTP and HTML protocols; (9) cellular networks; (10) Global Positioning Systems (GPS); (11) touchscreens; and (12) voice recognition. Every last one was supported by the public sector at key stages of development.”

“Millions of human beings have laboured to create this civilization on which we pride ourselves to-day. Other millions, scattered through the globe, labour to maintain it. Without them nothing would be left in fifty years but ruins.

There is not even a thought, or an invention, which is not common property, born of the past and the present. Thousands of inventors, known and unknown, who have died in poverty, have co-operated in the invention of each of these machines which embody the genius of man.”

you know i wondered what it would be like living in Nazi times.

yesterday me and my family were discussing about how to move to which country, because we’re now seeing how Modi will be winning the 2024 elections as well and so we need a plan ready just in case we need to escape.

this is what is happening to my country. being destroyed by Hindu Nazis. please, someone help us. if the western media starts discussing about this, maybe something could be done, because the fraction of Indians ACTUALLY seeing through this propaganda is reducing day by day, while the govt stifles any and all voices of dissent.

please. i do not want to escape my own birthland as it gets destroyed. thanks.

[kaurwrites]

One of the characteristics of a democracy is that you can protest. That is currently not the case in India.

Young, old, men and women are protesting against a few laws that were created for the farmers.

The government is trying to push back the protestors by shooting water at them. At one point India had a water shortage. Water is also getting wasted. They had closed the road and ended up throwing tear gas at protestors.

This country must represent a democracy, but look what happens here. THOUSANDS of people are disagreeing with something, listen to THEIR voices and their suffering. Stopping them with water, road blocks or throwing tear gas is NOT THE WAY!

If you have a platform(doesn’t matter how big or small) please keep sharing to raise awareness. Please let us help the farmers in Punjab. We are all one and equal! I stand with farmers 🧡 No farmers no food

Angry Farmers Choke India’s Capital in Giant Demonstrations

Mewa Singh said he wasn’t going anywhere.

On Monday afternoon, Mr. Singh, who farms a small plot of land in northern India, sat in the back of a mud-splattered farm trailer, heaps of rice, lentils, fresh garlic and other spices piled around him, blocking one of the main arteries into India’s capital.

Part of an army of thousands of angry farmers who have encircled New Delhi, Mr. Singh vowed to keep protesting for however long it takes for India’s government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to reverse recently passed pro-market agricultural policies.

“Our land is our mother,” said Mr. Singh, growing emotional as he talked about the new policies, which he saw as part of an effort to hand farmers’ land over to big business. “It was passed on to us from our parents, who got it from their parents, and now Modi wants to acquire it and give it away to his rich friends.”

Even though Mr. Modi’s political party firmly controls the government, the growing farmers’ rebellion seems to have rattled his administration. In India, more than 60 percent of the population depends on agriculture to make a living. Farmers are a huge political constituency.

On Sunday, Mr. Modi’s top lieutenants hastily called a late-night meeting, and they have told the farmers that they were willing to negotiate.

But the crisis, which has snarled traffic leading into New Delhi for miles and cast a sense of uncertainty over the capital, has become a classic standoff of who lays down their arms first.

The Modi administration has indicated that it will not talk to the protesting farmers unless they move to a fairground on New Delhi’s outskirts and stop blocking the highways.

But the farmers have said that they will not move their tractors or trailers until negotiations start. They are digging in, resupplying themselves with food, fuel, firewood and medical supplies to stay put for weeks…

Many farmers said the new rules, which the Modi administration pushed through Parliament in September, are the beginning of the end of a decades-old system that had guaranteed minimum prices for certain crops. They allow farmers greater freedom to sell their produce outside state-controlled agricultural markets, but they also curtail farmers’ ability to challenge disputes in courts.

[lichrelly]

there’s an armenian genocide going on, the largest farmers protest in the world in india, violence by sars in nigeria and so much more and y’all really talk about the stuff which happens in the US huh.
