Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
Yes, nonblack people can reblog. I'd appreciate it, in fact, if y'all took the time to vocally support your Black friends/fans in fandom.
you need to understand that i have two sets of headcanons. there's the set of realistic headcanons based on my genuine reading of the show, and then there's me playing pretend with my dolls.
So. I watched Supernatural for a while a few years ago but only got as far as season 7.
Is it worth going back and watching the next eight seasons or did I peace out at a good time?
I ask because I saw some gifs and apparently they eventually get a recurring Deaf character who seems to be badass.
I don’t know much about her besides that and I’m going to assume she dies because she’s a woman on Supernatural. BTW, I don’t care about spoilers so if you want to weigh in with details then feel free.
Leverage episode where they have to bypass security and burn the Gävlebocken
This would be part of a completely unrelated job in Sweden where burning the Gävlebocken only ends up being necessary by a hugely convoluted sequence of events, so that the entire episode everyone has to constantly remind Parker they are not here to burn the Gävlebocken, leave the Gävlebocken, do not be distracted by the Gävlebocken. Until we finally are rewarded with the delight on Parker's face as everyone on the team concedes that in fact we now must burn the Gävlebocken.
Throughout the episode, it's loosely implied that every other person on the crew EXCEPT Parker has already, for one reason or another, had to burn the goat. Parker is increasingly outraged each time.
you will hear zero complaints from me about increasingly explicit gay pornography being incorporated into “mainstream” tv shows but what i will call for is a corresponding increase in explicit lesbian sex. i want dykes crawling around on their hands and knees begging to eat pussy on every tv screen in america. worldwide, even
Apparently Tumblr is holding my activity hostage until I post.
Oh, is that who I am now? Well, it was never that far from the surface, mate.
I feel like if you come from a species where at any time someone's entire body and mind - including gender - can change in a flash, being monosexual really isn't an option is it.
Like, Gallifey: Everyone Has to Be a Little Bit Bi.
The absolute smooth motherfuckery in this whole sequence was almost too much to handle.
I really love being reminded that even if Loki’s villain era has come to an end that he’s still a god and the god of mischief is not to be taken lightly.
More bad but unsurprising news about racist OTW behavior.
dhobikikutti's Dreamwidth post about the Constructive Corrective Action Procedure letter she received for requesting OTW accountability for racist behavior.
dhobikikutti's Dreamwidth post calling for Board Member Alex Tischer's suspension after continued racialized hostile remarks.
A comment in the second post contains an example of letters someone sent to the OTW if you'd like wording suggestions for your own note to the board.
Tarry Town Resident here! Reblogging this because it needs to be spread more on Tumblr as well!
Hello! Sorry to bother you- I've been trying to find the anti-scraping code people can add to their works published on A03. I didn't know if perhaps you knew about it/could point me in the right direction to find it.
I'm coming back to A03 after a hiatus, and I just would rather not fear my work be stolen.
I had no idea such a thing existed. That’s cool if it works. Be nice to unlock my fic again.
If you're posting on AO3, this isn't something you have to worry about as an individual, they did it for you. They added the flag that tells Common Crawl not to scrape their website, and implemented a few backend features that also help limit "robot" access to their website.
If you're posting on your own website you can look up how to implement these yourself!

Ah, thank you for the info!
Happy pride month from me and the canon-queer Pedro boys! 🏳️🌈💚
HELP FOX LAKE EVACUEES
May 5th, 2023
Due to Wildfire HWF030, 3,700 residents of the remote Northern community of Fox Lake, accessible only by boat, ice road or bush plane, have been evacuated, many with less than half an hour's notice, leaving behind belongings and vehicles. The evacuees are being housed in towns and reserves nearby, and are in need of clothing, food and hygiene items. Yet another of the reserves of Little Red River Cree Nation, Garden River, is also preparing for possible evacuation. My own Father-in-law, who was part of the evacuation effort, has lost everything he owns in the fire.
PLEASE help if you are able!
Canadian residents may send funds by e-transfer to [email protected] (Ref #15043)
A GoFundMe has been started, and you can find it below
We are currently collecting donations for the evacuees from Fox Lake due to the fire their commu… Darryel Sowan needs your support for FOX
If you are unable to use the above methods, you may send funds to paypal.me/kida and I will forward it to the e-transfer address.
Go to paypal.me/Kida and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

When you don't at least try to portray fat people in your art, especially if you turn fat characters thin, you're telling me that you not only have a limited artistic range but you want to keep it that way.
The writers did the wrong thing, but Joel did the right. Fight me. SPOILERS.
Under the literal circumstances given to Joel in the finale this season, every single kill he made was righteous, even killing Marlene after she was down.
Logically and from a purely scientific perspective he was right. The "save Ellie or save the world" conflict was forced. It made no sense in a series that otherwise has been so thoughtful and plausible about what a post-cordyceps world would be like, especially on a material, day-to-day level.
Having Marlene promise that their doctor could absolutely, for sure take Ellie's brain and make a cure that would absolutely work makes no sense, honestly. Just no.
At 2000's level technology, where that world is now frozen due to the collapse of civilization, it would've taken years to figure it out. Even at 2023 levels of technology, it would take years.
Also, they had a lot of tests they could've conducted. A BRAIN BIOPSY WAS COMPLETELY AN OPTION.
A dead brain is useless at telling anyone how it survived and what neurochemical processes were going on. Maybe Ellie's survival was mostly because she got infected in utero when her brain would've been at it's most undeveloped and ultra-plastic. Maybe it won't work for adults who's skull jello has fully set.
(BTW, it would've been a far more interesting ending if they did this. Brain biopsies, especially at a hospital operating on 10% capacity with doctors who may not actually be specialists in neurology or neurosurgery, comes with risks. Imagine if Joel went on his rampage because even a 50-50 chance was too high for him.).
Wasting the one source of information
Which leads me to reason two: the Fireflies cannot be trusted with the fate of the world.
The Fireflies are the weakest part of the writing in the series. American TV refuses to portray what successful resistance of authoritarian military regimes looks like. They either want it to be so implausibly sudden and easy that it defies logic or they want it to require badly strategized terrorism.
In-world, the Fireflies suck at their jobs. They've made shit all in the way of progress in all their years. Worse yet, their actions show they have precious little regard for the things they say they're fighting for. If they had their hands on the only vaccine/cure? They would 100% either abuse or squander it.
After all, Marlene did nothing to protect Ellie who she knew from day one of her life after mercy killing Ellie's mother. She just sort of let Ellie float off into the QZ. Then, when she does come across Ellie again, instead of leveling with her and trying to be kind to a traumatized teenage girl who's reactions are completely valid, she chains her up and is super shitty to her.
This is not a group of people who can be trusted with a cure.
And finally, reason three: morally the Fireflies were completely wrong.
Ellie had agency, and yes she could intellectually understand the decision given to her, but there's no way she could've consented. Not because of age or agency, but because she was not given sufficient time to process the choice or even talk to Joel - the one person who's had her best interests at heart above all else.
They didn't even give Ellie time to eat a few hot meals, catch up on sleep, get some clean clothes. There's no way Ellie or any other human being could be fully self-advocating in such a short time.
There was no time for her to consider that, realistically, there was no way the Fireflies would let her walk away from them and go back to the compound and live a peaceful life. Ellie knows what's what. There's no way she didn't know that surrender was the only real option.
And of course Joel absolutely knew that too when he shot Marlene. There's no way that Marlene wouldn't have initiated at vicious hunt for Ellie had she lived. Joel damn well knew Ellie would never be safe otherwise. And he was right to take action.
There's a reason we don't let living organ donors just sign some papers and speedrun into surgery the next day even if they really want to. It's why, when morally done, we require mental health screenings and time for them to fully comprehend the consequences beyond the medical - including the fact that they don't have to do this.
Just because someone offers something freely, even confidently, doesn't mean it's moral to accept it.
Marlene and the Fireflies owed Ellie not just medical information, but emotional information. Ellie couldn't have been emotionally or psychologically informed that quickly - especially not with her biggest source of support and safety being deliberately taken from her.
The Fireflies forced her hand. That's not okay.
Whether Joel thought of any of that or just couldn't handle losing Ellie, he did the right thing. Whether it was right for him to lie is another thing, but saving her life was right on all possible levels.
“When you send me for a role and it says ‘South Asian, his name is Raj’ … I say ‘I don’t fucking want it.’ And then the next one comes in and it says it doesn’t have a race. ‘This is John. 30s. Handsome.’ … When it says that, I want that fucking role. So I want to take from the majority. That’s the only time I think about race.” —Rahul Kohli on Blackman Beyond podcast
Please, please take roles from Chris Pratt.

Possibly blasphemous, but: Glass Onion was one of those rare film sequels that was better than the first and for me it comes down to the ending.
Don't get me wrong. The ending of Knives Out is absolutely delicious. Turned tables and comeuppance, with Marta being the new king of the mountain. But that wealth is not clean, that house, that fortune, all that came with it is not clean. No family acquires that kind of wealth without a lot of people, like Marta, getting mistreated and underpaid.
Glass Onion ends with the destruction of wealth. Helen smashes glass sculptures that are probably individually worth more than she makes in a year (or five, since she's a teacher in Alabama). She burns the Mona Lisa, a piece of work who's value is entirely built on the fact that a lot of white guys have gotten together to agree that it's great. She doesn't just destroy his material wealth, she destroys his true wealth- sycophants willing to prop up his legend of being the smartest guy in the world and protect him from consequences so he can keep thriving the system he pretends he's disrupting.
Forget being the new king of the mountain, Helen is the one who said, "No more mountains, no more kings" and burned the place down.
And that? That's what we call a pièce de résistance.
Panfandom Hanukkah Bingo
WHAT: A fanworks bingo celebrating Jewish (and Jew-ish) characters across any and all fandoms. Write fanfiction and/or create graphics (moodboards, edits, vids, whatever you like) to fill prompts on this overall bingo card. During the 8 nights of Hanukkah, submit your fills to the AO3 collection and/or post them on Tumblr to be reblogged and added to the Bingo Masterpost.
WHY: Jewish characters and Jewish fans are often overlooked or erased during the Winter Holiday Season in favor of "Secret Santa" exchanges, Christmas-themed fics, and the idea that ~Hanukkah is Jewish Christmas~ (which spoiler for all fics in this bingo: it's not). This panfandom Bingo challenge is to celebrate Hanukkah on its own terms and give Jewish characters and fans a place to breathe. :)
