saw a post letting people know that your ao3 bookmarks are viewable on your account unless you make them private, which suggests that the median ao3 user does not use ao3 in what i will call 'the optimum fic-finding treadmill' where you find a fic author you like and look through their bookmarks to find more fics that are good and then look through that author's bookmarks for even more good fics. like a conga line of great but extremely specific tastes. or one of those chessboard rice doubling analogies and oh no that is a LOT of ao3 tabs.

guys you gotta stop thinking of women in their 30s as elderly it’s just misogyny

[courtesyname]

you also gotta stop thinking about actual elderly women as lesser human beings. Youth is not a measure of one’s worth.

the mexican football team has a 17 yrs old player and one of the funniest outcomes of this is that he cannot appear in any ad for gambling or drinking so he only appears in candy and milk advertisements. his first world cup and he's not even legally allowed to drive. his nickname is "morita" (little berry). he's three apples tall.

they couldn't put him in the beer campaign so he was represented by a bunch of berries

Hey don't cry, okay? We just found Attenborough’s long-beaked echidna, a species thought to be extinct for the past 60 years.

So Sir David Attenborough was already a well known naturalist(the docementary kind, not the nudist kind) in 1961 to have an animal named after him, then lived 60 years thinking the animal went extinct and now lives to see evidence of it not being extinct. That is both incredibly heartwarming and a very Elf-core thing of him to do. He truly is an archdruid

You gotta read and watch some old books and films that aren’t 100% modern politically correct. I’m not saying you should agree with everything in them but you need to learn where genres came from to understand what those genres are doing today and where media deconstructing old tropes is coming from.

Also, more often than you might think, they’re not actually promoting bigotry so much as “didn’t consider all the implications of something” or just used words that were polite then but considered offensive now.

Kill the censor in your head.

[ashintheairlikesnow]

When we choose to avoid history because it's Problematic or Says Bad Things, we are choosing to divorce ourselves from understanding how we came from that time to this one, which makes it even more likely for the cycle to repeat, with no one but a few people with shelves of old books aware that it's happened before.

[swimmingblue]

and this shit's important. Media from the past tells us how people from the past acted and thought and behaved.

Plus, a lot of these media pieces were socially acceptable and/or progressive for their time. For example, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, while it contains a lot of words and ideas that are offensive now, was very progressive for its time. The book is a statement piece for how a young man who's grown up in a racist environment, with no words to explain himself other than racist and bigoted ones, decides that the whole system is shit and he's not going to follow those rules any more. So not reading or engaging with it because it uses the n-word a lot really misses the point.

old music is a really good entry point for this too. I think we so often get caught up in policing new pop artists you can lapse and forget that music history is basically a whole branch of art and anthropology. Old folk music in particular because very culture on earth has used folk tales and folk music as a way to vary oral traditions and stories. there is a lot of nuance I am loosing but I strongly recomend Willi Carlisle's live ep Tales from Critterland

the first thing u need to understand about athletes is that they are cringe losers bc they skipped school in hopes of never having to work a real job. the second thing you need to understand abt athletes is that they are first and foremost workers whose years of lucrative labour are capped by the very real limit that the strain of that selfsame work puts on their bodies which means they retire at an age before most people's careers even really take off and are expected to get by for the rest of their lives on the money they earned those few years. the third thing you need to understand is that they want to fuck their coworker.

the thing about sidgeno is that it's the quintessential love story where somehow the laws of geography, international law, language and sports management all individualy and simultaneously worked together to make sure two people could meet and become fundamental parts of each other's lives. the thing about sidnate is that nathan mackinnon is living a kind of psychosexual horror drama previously unknown to mankind.

[punksalmons]

the thing about sidclaude is that sidney crosby and claude giroux tried to kill each other for real.

[punksalmons]

ok i thought of several more of these. sidovi is like a pr marriage, but the marriage is actually a rivalry to sell more season tickets. sidjack is like a lifetime movie where a small-city girl leaves to new york (actually pittsburgh, pa) to follow her dream job but comes back to her hometown in the christmas season and sees her childhood sweetheart again. sidmario is if you wanted to fuck your highschool teacher. sidmack is if your highschool student wanted to fuck you. sidgenoanna is like if a married couple wanted you to be their purse dog. also, you might have birthed their son. sidkris is a nerd girl and a bad boy, also the bad boy has great hair and is french-canadian. sidflower is if your wife died tragically, or a orpheus/eurydice thing, and your wife/eurydice is also french-canadian. sid x ek is like if you wanted to fuck the pool boy. anyway, the point is if you've stood beside sidney crosby for more than five minutes there's an ao3 tag for you two.
