Idk jokes that are actually funny?

"People I know that are organizers for labor unions don't typically tend to be rosy people. It is a hard grind. There is a lot of conflict to be navigated. Her hearing this thing like "I wanna be your pal!" She's like "yeah, fucking right." And then someone being like "here's my aims, I need your help and I think you need mine." And being like, "got it. Okay."" (Brennan in Adventuring Party)

Oh no she was suspicious of vampires! This must be about fake leftists! Yall....WHAT?

This feels like when dems put some charismatic person into an office with big promises about socialism and everyone gets excited and loses sight of the fact that this is a POLITICIAN. And it's experienced leftists saying "yeah but are they going to do anything different? Are they actually going to keep those promises?" Because they've seen this shit before. And then new people want to turn to those experienced leftists and be like "why aren't you gassing up the person we've chosen as our democratic savior? You must be a fake leftist!"

idk why no one helped my sister. I can't describe her pain; she cries uncontrollably and can't move or eat. She's been isolated from her friends. Her skin condition is severe and burns intensely. The medication is very expensive because it's not allowed in our country!!

Please don't ignore my sister's tears and help me provide her with medicine before it's too late.

GRABS you by the THROAT. stop using "narcissistic", "slow", "depressed", "bipolar", "schizophrenic" and the literal R slur (i'm not saying it.) etc etc etc as insults. I don't care if you're neurodivergent and doing this you're still an ableist prick

[houseofpurplestars]

Aaaand I'm still blocking folks for being like "stop complaining about the ai jokes its not that deep." Yall need to shut the fuck up and mind your business. Let people complain about things. No one expressing any opinion wants to hear your dismissive "well you just didnt get it so maybe you should go watch bluey cuz youre a child" like are you serious right now? Are you a teenager? Someone didn't like a joke and this is how you respond? To your fandom? The people who like the thing you like? Please grow the hell up.

We ALL got it. We ALL understand that vampires are bad guys. NO ONE is not understanding that.

I notice most of the human x Yautja ship content is female human and male Yautja which is 100% cool, but at the same time, there’s the untapped goldmine that is a giant alien huntress and her smol boy toy

Fandoms have a serious problem with how creators are being treated these days.

Fandom creators spend hours of their free time to create something to make fandom thrive...for free and for the love of the game.

And what do they get? A wholeass heap of fuck all. No reblogs, no comments, no nothing. And people are surprised that creators are dropping out left, right, and centre??

"Why is there no long fic anymore?" "Why did my favourite writer stop?" "Why is my favourite artist not posting anymore?"

I implore you to ask yourself: "What's the last thing I did to support my fandom? Does my favourite creator know they are my favourite? When was the last time I left a comment under something?"

[jackabbot]

i know i say this often but i cannot say it loud enough: people who comment on fics, people who reblog posts and engage with fanworks are the people who generate community and without them fandom would be nowhere, so truly thank you for your presence, you make the world go 'round <3

[ao3-anonymous]

I just saw an anon come into a gif-maker’s ask box and start with the phrase: “I’m trying not to spam your inbox with reblogs, but” and then go on to say how much they love the gifs.

But I’m still stuck on that opening phrase because…what? I am so confused by how people view interactions on tumblr & AO3 these days. Let me make it very clear for anyone who is unsure:

CREATORS WANT YOU TO INTERACT WITH THEIR WORK.

The limit does not exist on how many of their works you can interact with in a certain period.

If you like every fic they’ve ever written? Then feel free to give them all kudos and even leave a comment on every single one if you feel inclined! If you’re going through someone’s blog and you vibe with every post, like/reblog to your heart’s content!

As long as you’re not expecting something back from them or adding a ton of irrelevant comments, it’s not spam! It’s what this is all about!! I’m not even much of a creator and I still feel a huge sense of pride when I see a ton of notifications in a row from a person, as it clearly shows they thought my blog was worth spending time on.

And if for some reason a creator is annoyed by this (unlikely), they can manage their own experience (turn off notifs, not look at their notes, delete the fic, etc) -- so don’t deprive the majority of creators because of some imagined annoyed person. Fandom is a collaborative effort and we all must participate!

‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ trust me, if white people know you aren't safe to be racist around, we'll notice! Your ACTIONS will speak for you!

image one: tweet.

stop worrying about whether black people know you're a safe white person to be around & start making sure white people know you are not a safe person to be racist around.

image two: tweet.

If there are Nazis at your event and you don't condone it, ask "what have I done to attract Nazis?" And follow that up with "how do I immediately and without question alienate and offend all the Nazis currently comfortable with me" and then do it. Stop being strategically naive.

No they aren't. They are full of non-flammable electronics. Anyone trying to burn one down is likely to do minimal damage before a fire suppression system kicked on, and before they got caught and arrested.

Remember kids, research and proper planning are the cornerstones of any successful endeavor.

[assortedinsanities]

Data centers are mostly metal with some water cooling and most likely a nitrogen/argon/CO2 based fire suppression system. They are not even a little bit flammable and if you make the error of being inside one when a fire breaks out, you will likely be suffocated by their fire suppression system.

Possible dangers to data centers include corrosives entering their cooling water supply, a strong electromagnetic pulse or a cyber attack, so make sure to keep those away from your favourite data centers.

Shout out to mediocre black people actually. Shout out to black people who are bad at shit. You don’t need to be the best for your life to matter.
