Mostly Fandom

Drama-free cuz that's how I like it. Lots of Marvel, a little Teen Wolf, Hawaii 5-0, SGA, SPN, and if I ever find any Archie/Saul it'll be here. A great deal of appreciation for Clint/Coulson. And some quilting and planners.

if i can be salty for a minute: people who have beef with ao3 for "moral reasons" but Keep Using It to read fanfiction have a moral backbone of wet pasta.

okay, if one hates ao3 because it allows this type of content they find reprehensible, there is a whole lot of other websites for fic that they can browse instead that don't allow the stuff they find gross, the world is their oyster, the internet is wonderfully vast place, they could go to any other famous fic site and very likely find the exact content they are looking for! i dare say it would even be noble to not do something if it goes against their morals (however pointless that looks to me personally)! but no, these people keep going back dispite claiming ao3 is a cesspool of [clutches pearls] "amoral and unlawful content"

they don't like to put in the effort to make a change for the better, they just like to claim that they do.

It's pathetic, yes.

On a recent post, I saw the funniest tags where some dumbass was realizing for the first time that it's not that everyone uses AO3 because they don't have a better option: the rest of the people surrounding them will actually go to bat for AO3.

Something that exhausts me is fics in my fandom being deleted because authors think lack of interest out of the gate = no one wants to read this. I understand it's a small fandom so if you're used to more activity it can read that way. But I can't get into your fic if you delete it before I get a chance to get invested. I can't rec it to people if it's gone by the time they get to it. I am begging people to be a bit more patient than this.

Need Tumblr to understand that you are a marine biologist only if you study lads and urchins in the seas and oceans. If you study hooligans and whippersnappers in a lake or river you are in fact not a marine biologist, you are a limnologist.

Are there any benefits to being a limnologist?

"Should parents read their daughter's texts or monitor her online activity for bad language and inappropriate content?"

Earlier today, I served as the “young woman’s voice” in a panel of local experts at a Girl Scouts speaking event. One question for the panel was something to the effect of, “Should parents read their daughter’s texts or monitor her online activity for bad language and inappropriate content?”

I was surprised when the first panelist answered the question as if it were about cyberbullying. The adult audience nodded sagely as she spoke about the importance of protecting children online.

I reached for the microphone next. I said, “As far as reading your child’s texts or logging into their social media profiles, I would say 99.9% of the time, do not do that.”

Looks of total shock answered me. I actually saw heads jerk back in surprise. Even some of my fellow panelists blinked.

Everyone stared as I explained that going behind a child’s back in such a way severs the bond of trust with the parent. When I said, “This is the most effective way to ensure that your child never tells you anything,” it was like I’d delivered a revelation.

It’s easy to talk about the disconnect between the old and the young, but I don’t think I’d ever been so slapped in the face by the reality of it. It was clear that for most of the parents I spoke to, the idea of such actions as a violation had never occurred to them at all.

It alarms me how quickly adults forget that children are people.

Apparently people are rediscovering this post somehow and I think that’s pretty cool! Having experienced similar violations of trust in my youth, this is an important issue to me, so I want to add my personal story:

Around age 13, I tried to express to my mother that I thought I might have clinical depression, and she snapped at me “not to joke about things like that.” I stopped telling my mother when I felt depressed.

Around age 15, I caught my mother reading my diary. She confessed that any time she saw me write in my diary, she would sneak into my room and read it, because I only wrote when I was upset. I stopped keeping a diary.

Around age 18, I had an emotional breakdown while on vacation because I didn’t want to go to college. I ended up seeing a therapist for - surprise surprise - depression.

Around age 21, I spoke on this panel with my mother in the audience, and afterwards I mentioned the diary incident to her with respect to this particular Q&A. Her eyes welled up, and she said, “You know I read those because I was worried you were depressed and going to hurt yourself, right?”

TL;DR: When you invade your child’s privacy, you communicate three things:

You do not respect their rights as an individual.

You do not trust them to navigate problems or seek help on their own.

You probably haven’t been listening to them.

Information about almost every issue that you think you have to snoop for can probably be obtained by communicating with and listening to your child.

Part of me is really excited to see that the original post got 200 notes because holy crap 200 notes, and part of me is really saddened that something so negative has resonated with so many people.
