I drew this deer lord (sorry for this ancient pun 🥴) after reading “Selfish Rituals” by @kirythestitchwitch

I guess my painting is a huge spoiler, but this amazing story can't be spoiled by anything!

Dear author, I hope my drawing will inspire you just as your work has inspired me, and may this flow of inspiration circulate for the benefit of the fandom, amen 🙏🏻

Thank @feat-peach for quoting. That’s how I got to know about this fic.

Originally, I drew this type of antlers. Which one do you like more?

"Fascism"—New Federal Rule Would Require Federal Funding Recipients To Deny Trans People Exist

The rule could have heavy impacts towards trans people across society.

Last week, the Trump administration quietly released a sweeping new federal rule that would use funding threats to force institutions across the country to reject transgender people. The 400-page proposed regulation would codify the administration's anti-trans executive orders into binding federal policy, imposing a blanket prohibition on federal funds going toward "gender ideology"

The proposed rule, formally titled "Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance," rewrites the government-wide framework governing all federal grants across every agency. Among its most consequential provisions, it requires that before a federal grant recipient can receive money, the award must pass a "pre-issuance review" conducted by a political appointee—not a career expert or peer reviewer—to ensure it is "consistent with applicable law, Federal agency priorities, and the national interest." The regulation explicitly instructs these appointees to screen for "denial by the recipient of the sex binary in humans or the notion that sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic." [...] An institution that acknowledges transgender people exist—through its policies, its training, its healthcare, its bathroom access, its HR procedures, its name-change processes—could be deemed to "deny the sex binary" or to “support the notion that sex is mutable” and have its federal funding blocked.

Importantly, the gender ideology prohibition has no age limitation—hospitals could be targeted not just for providing care to minors but for providing gender-affirming care to adults, because prescribing hormone therapy to a transgender patient of any age could be deemed promoting the belief that "sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic."

THIS IS OPEN TO COMMENT UNTIL JULY 13, 2026

[featherandstorm]

This is all very bad and horrible, but I want to be clear that it’s worse and more sweeping than just eliminating trans research.

This torches everything. And I do mean everything.

A very abbreviated list of its ramifications include (but are not limited to):

ending funding for ALL DEI related initiatives

allowing the government to terminate grants at any point for any reason

preventing researchers from publishing, going to conferences, and being part of academic societies

requiring that topics must support the president’s agenda.

What this means, and if anything I’m under selling it, is the death of science and research in America. It allows the government to restrict any topic they please at a whims notice, putting officials who have no background in the topic in charge of deciding funding continuity. It controls what gets researched and if/how researchers are allowed to share their discoveries. There are no books to burn if the government never allows them to be written. This is fascism plain and simple.

Please, if you only ever write one public comment, this is the one to do.

[genderkoolaid]

Bringing back this guide to writing an effective public comment. This gives you the basics you need to know, what you need to include, a basic outline you can follow, etc.

Public comments are not a vote, it is a chance for you to say "here is an issue with this law I think you need to address" and provide justification for legal challenges if it goes forward:

"Comments raise the bar that agencies have to meet when making a rule; “if an agency fails to adequately respond to significant, relevant comments in a final rule, members of the public may seek to challenge the rule in court on that basis and claim it could be struck down.ˮ"

But also, if possible, don't stop at writing a comment. Don't stop at calling your representatives. You should ideally be talking to people in your community about this and organizing resistance on-the-ground; there is a good chance people are already doing that even if you aren't hearing about it.

Also, please keep in mind, this is 100%, without a doubt, wholly unconsitituonal. They will try to enforce it regardless, but that does not make it legal. Do not treat this as law because it is not.

And what, pray tell, is so wrong with that? Must a king lower himself to the vocabulary of insects? Must an academiac explain his reasoning to kindergartners? There is no shame in knowledge nor is there in verbosity. Quite the opposite, they are to be celebrated. But I guess this is the world we are forced to inhabit. This world... This planet, teeming with life and all its infinite possibilities. And you would dare dilute it, so that a simpleton's mind could comprehend it? I will not stand for this. No more shall a man be judged for his might, his ambition, his intellect. No more shall we look down on those who propose a mere thought experiment about owning a human pec9sdjv0 c9i2ewokhndvoi adsjvci uwqeowdsxujvnli ufdsiuljfcniu ofeidcvjpc9nUIODSuljvniuwqopisafjvp985erioewaudJHB9jrg8frjuv8ar9jvuw08rd9vujq35g89spdujigk[0e9ravjik0rvu9jq54w8yvh r8og;af9ukjgmoiaelgurj9g8zboifyhvlo8fivujawp89 OC:Ivjare0sd9oizl

There's an event I'm going to where queer people gather together in the park and eat garlic bread and make friends tomorrow in Seattle, and i decided to be ambitious and lean back on my culinary schooling and make my own bread

One is going to be vegan (it's my basic baguette recipe, it just happens to be vegan i realized) and the other is going to be gluten free and dairy free and i think that will score me points with the dietary restrictions crowd

Hi!

So I like to download most fanfiction I read . At the moment I adore stories with pretend chats . The issue is they are often configured to look pretty online but it does not translate well for saving as doc. Any ideas how to do this properly so the stories stays readable even if downloaded?

Thank you!

It's going to come down to how the chats are entered into the fic.

If they're embedded images, then downloading the PDF or HTML would keep them in place.

If the chat is formattied via a work skin, that CSS won't transfer with the rest of the content so you'll get plain text instead of the formatted text enabled by the workskin.

How well that plain text is presented is going to depend on the work skin being used. You can get a preview of what the downloaded version will look like by clicking or tapping on the Hide Creator's Style button at the top of the fic. That will remove the work skin and show you the plain text.

Hi! I'm so fucking qualified here. I wrote a chatfic as someone who downloads fics and gets frustrated because I can't read hardly any chatfics because of it.

I spent thirty hours coding my own skin for my fic so it'd look awesome on computers and phones while also being comfortably readable when downloaded. I keep meaning to clean it up and submit it to be a public workskin.

It's finicky and it results in an absolute clusterfuck of html and took ages to get it right, and I had to compromise on aesthetics a lot (in order for it to look decent on both mobile and computer browsers). Anyway, basically, in order to make it look cool, unless you're like me and code your own skin knowing you want it accessible to people who download it, it's not going to be readable when it's downloaded. Maybe if you download the page itself as a .webp, it'll be okay? But at that point you may as well just read it in your browser. (More info about my code under the cut)

What I did was I made text bubbles, colours, edited spacing, fucking everything. Like I said, I spent weeks working on this. I haven't cleaned it up because I kind of never want to see it again. But with all of that, I also added an invisible header. In a browser, the heading may only say "Riza Hawkeye" and then have text bubbles back and forth, but the downloaded versions (I checked all of them btw), before each text it either says "Me" or "Riza" depending on who is speaking. It was clever and I want everyone to do it, however, the html is a disaster, and there's just no way to make it easier. I'll show you that after I show you what the fic looks like.

Mobile browser (ft the regular site skin I use):

Desktop browser (but from my phone because I can't quite fit the whole convo on the screenshot and don't want to stitch it. It's very close though):

And now on my phone's ereader (ft my big-ass font):

Finally, here's the html for that four text back-and-forth (it has to be a screenshot because tumblr also uses html):

And the thing is, this is for every single message. The writer has to remember to add the person whose text it is's name to every message, invisibly, without fail. On top of all the rest of it. Not to mention other formatting in the fic.

As frustrating and frankly upsetting as it is, there's a good reason that most chatfics are inaccessible to people who download. Seriously, the html for this fic took a solid 15 hours, plus skin troubleshooting.

I spent 45 hours over the course of a month on a 3k fic. People aren't going to do that.

I hope that if I get my skin out there that people might spend a few extra hours utilising the invisible heading so it's accessible to screenreaders, but...

So yeah. tl;dr read it in your browser or don't read it :/

oh, and if you're interested, here's my fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/79757431
