ICYMI, there was fear that companies were scraping public AO3 fics to train their AI without the consent of AO3 or its users. That fear has been confirmed.
AO3 has written about what they’re doing (and what they’re not able to do), and they recommend restricting your work to AO3 registered users only. [Instructions here]
This gross misuse of the archive by techbros is why I’ve locked down my fics for the foreseeable future. I recommend the rest of you do the same.

Chapter Six Politics and Pride
“If you wish for the entire North to rally behind the cause for independence, then by all means, continue in this line of thinking. It is the North that must punish its own traitors, or you risk war all the same.”
“So we are to both act upon this and not. By all means, tell us what sort of logic you are attempting to persuade us with.”
“Forgive me, I did not realize that I needed to explain the intricacies of politics to the Hand of the King,” Elyse hissed.

SORRY I NEED THIS
What is going on with the world??
In a move that has sparked outcry from archaeologists, historians and locals, the Peruvian government has approved a multi-billion international airport near the famed site of Machu Picchu, Peru’s single most important tourist destination. Bulldozers have begun to clear millions of tons of earth for the project, which will be located in Chinchero, a picturesque Inca town.
Building the airport in this location will destroy an ancient landscape, one shaped by the Incan people with terraces and routes.
Critics also suggest that planes flying low over the nearby village of Ollantaytambo and its archaeological park filled with ruins and a massive Inca fortress with large stone terraces, would cause incalculable damage to fragile Inca ruins there and destroy the peace and beauty of the area.
The new airport will make access to the site much easier, and thus encourage greater numbers than ever before to visit.
But Machu Picchu is already overwhelmed by almost double the limit of tourists as recommended by UNESCO. [see also India’s Taj Mahal - an incredible site simply reeling under a relentless, ineffectively managed tourist, both domestic and international, onslaught]
It’s the constant battle between protecting the past and profiteering from it.

Just as a heads up, this is still happening. The most recent article I can find on it is from when Hyundai E&C helped break ground back in Dec. 2021 (find here), and I can’t locate anything that mentions it being called off since, so… yeah. Looks like this is still an issue.
Because some people seem to have forgotten.
This also does not include a) older media where an openly lgbt character would spell cancellation for the series or b) foreign media that cannot show open lgbt relationships due to censorship
^^^^^^
wow almost like everyone saw this coming and it was grossly irresponsible to get rid of the recommendation in the first place
We need to start objectifying wizards. We can't slap them on the ass though they only have 4 hit points they may perish
i hope you die, i hope we both die, hand on unslappable ass.
Continue✨ Keep going✨

ITS DECEMBER!! 🎄 YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!!
Of course
The only reason I’ve even HEARD of it is because a couple Early Reader book adaptations arrived for the Children’s collection at the library. And just from that, I want to see it? It looks super cute! :O
Hell, I'd be hype for this even if it weren't a true story!
For people who don't know who the Chevalier St George was:
- he was the son of a french aristocrat and an enslaved Senegalese woman called Nanon
- he actually had a relationship with his mother, which was pretty usual for children in his situation. I haven't been able to establish whether she was later freed or not, but I think she was because she left a will, suggesting she owned property
- his father legally wasn't allowed to make him his heir because of racist laws at the time, but he acknoledged him as his son and gave him a rich person's education and opportunities
- he was one of, if not the, greatest violinists of his generation, played first violin for the Paris opera and was violin teacher to the queen before the revolution
- he was in line to be composer and director of the opera but a famous dancer who was pissed off he didn't want a relationship with her started a petition to get his appointment blocked
- he knew Haydn and commissioned the Paris Symphonies from him
- Mozart's father tried to make him go and see St George perform because he thought it would be good for his musical education but Mozart was (it is speculated) jealous of there being another young music prodigy, and refused to go
- he was ridiculously handsome . Look at this, my guy is pulling off a powdered wig, do you know how hard it is to look good in a powdered wig?!
- he was considered one of the greatest duelists and swordsmen in france
- he fought a duel with the Chevalier D'eon, who at the time was living as a woman (we have no idea if D'eon was afab or amab but they made their reputation as a man and then later switched to presenting as a woman)
- he wrote incredible concertos and unbelievably terrible operas. The longest any of his opera's ever ran before being shut down was a couple of weeks. Some one lasted 1 night. He kept writing them.
- he joined the revolutionaries to otherthrow the king because they (falsely) promised to abolish slavery and emancipate all enslaved people
- he was a fantastically successful soldier and lead the first all black regiment in europe, which came to be known as the regiment st George in his honour
He's legitimately one of the most interesting figures in french history, and certainly one of the most romantic, and I'm so glad he might finally be getting the recognition he deserves!
I need you guys to listen so bad, but I’m at least glad people on Twitter are starting to talk about this. The government of Canada is expanding Medically Assisted Death to cull the poor and disabled, and now suicidal and mentally ill (these are usually interchangeable of course here). It is EUGENICS and every single disabled rights organization is against it.
Disability payments are $1,200 a month. The average one bedroom apartment rent in the Greater Toronto Area (greatest pop. area by far here) is $2,000 a month. People with mental illnesses are on months long waitlists to get even a single publicly funded session. Weeks to get privately funded care which costs at least $200 a session. There is no housing here for disabled people. We are in one of the worst housing crises in the world right now.
Doctors are now offering MAiD unprompted to young suicidal people. This woman is 21, a health practitioner literally suggested she kill herself.
This is one of the worst Disability Rights Violations we’ve ever seen in Canada. The government is killing us because it is cheaper than funding healthcare, cheaper than giving people housing and food and basic human rights.
