SERVICE DOG PSA

So today I tripped. Fell flat on my face, it was awful but ultimately harmless. My service dog, however, is trained to go get an adult if I have a seizure, and he assumed this was a seizure (were training him to do more to care for me, but we didn’t learn I had epilepsy until a year after we got him)

I went after him after I had dusten off my jeans and my ego, and I found him trying to get the attention of a very annoyed woman. She was swatting him away and telling him to go away. So I feel like I need to make this heads up

If a service dog without a person approaches you, it means the person is down and in need of help

Don’t get scared, don’t get annoyed, follow the dog! If it had been an emergency situation, I could have vomited and choked, I could have hit my head, I could have had so many things happen to me. We’re going to update his training so if the first person doesn’t cooperate, he moves on, but seriously guys. If what’s-his-face could understand that lassie wanted him to go to the well, you can figure out that a dog in a vest proclaiming it a service dog wants you to follow him

From the Library of the Petrova History Commission

My cowriter and I are working on a social media fic with an unusual framing... It's in-universe hosted on the lovechild of the Internet Archive and the Library of Congress, because internet history is worth preserving too. It's the modern form of a museum displaying old letters.

It's been so much fun figuring out CSS/HTML formatting to get everything working on Ao3, and I'm really excited to share the rest soon!I even went through all the effort of keeping it compatible with Reversi so that dark-mode lovers don't have to get flashbanged:

It's even slightly interactive, to feel like you're really scrolling through a government website trying to get what you need for a research project. I love research a lot... dunno if that actually appeals to anyone else.

This was intentionally manufactured by Facebook. Facebook implemented it’s “accountability culture” starting with its rule about only using your real name and photo on its service and encouraging you to disclose other information in your profile, and from there it just got normalized. It was entirely to gather data for advertising purposes, but now we associate that level of openness with “accountability”. Entire generations are now being raised with this as the norm. Privacy is no longer a priority, or even really seen as an option.

This is to your detriment. Your privacy protects you from predators of all kinds. You really should be guarding it carefully. Disclose what you feel is important on a case by case basis, but even your mental health status and beliefs are exploitable by big business and small-time bullies and abusers alike.

Even if you’re not overly fussed about what people know about you, just understand that not everyone has the luxury of feeling the same. Some people have stalkers and abusers they’re trying to evade, or don’t want to attract new abusers into their lives by being that vulnerable and open again. Some people have extreme social anxiety. Some people are protecting other people in their lives. Some people just don’t want their grandmothers to find their smutfics. Some people are Internet privacy advocates who keep their details private as a political statement and as a matter of principle.

You are not entitled to anyone’s information, and you do not owe anyone yours. You are allowed to just be an anonymous username until you feel safe to disclose more.

I have only ever had artwork, animals or characters as a facebook profile image, you know like what’s normal and sane and just plain fun, but you would not believe the hostility that generates. Facebook strangers assume I’m a bot, a troll or just up to something nefarious.

Notes on Puppet operation

[writers-solace]

I don't think Tolkien is a good fantasy writer because he scored the highest at some objective Best Fantasy Book Test that every fantasy writer has to take, I think he's a good fantasy writer because he created a world based on things that he was interested in. I feel like a lot of fantasy writers think that they need to create a whole language for their world because Tolkien did and obviously his books are the best so they have to emulate him, but Tolkien did that because he was a linguistics nerd. I think the lesson to be learned from him is not that you have to include elves and deep history and new languages, but that you have to write endlessly about the things you are a huge nerd about and use those things to create your fantasy world

What do you MEAN the glass, the porthole, the only way Simon was able to see out into the world and into the blood ocean was made from scavenged parts of Filament Station? The only way Ava and the rest of the crew saw him was literally through his biggest regret, the reason he ended up there. And he pleads for someone to listen when he says Filament Station wasn't supposed to end that way, but he cannot be separated from it.

The only way he's able to be viewed is through the remnants of a station where 62 people died, and the only way he can see out is through the ocean of blood. And only when he chooses to break that glass is he finally choosing freedom in a way he fought against. He just wanted to live, and it was too much to ask for.

"I just want to live, is that so wrong? Why doesn't anyone else want that?" as "Why doesn't anyone want me, Simon, to live? Why did they weld me into this death trap with limited oxygen and no food or water, where other people have died before? Why is the commander so reluctant to even lift me out of the ocean?" AND as "Why doesn't anyone want to live? Why did my brothers get mad at me for trying to stop the bomb that would kill us all? Why were they fine being part of a death cult? Why did they view death as its own divinity? Why are even the stars dying?"
