Unfriendly reminder that TERFs and other violent LGBT gatekeepers including aro/acephobic people are not welcome on this blog and will be blocked on sight. I don't tolerate that kind of harmful bullshit. Same goes for nazis and literally anyone else who wishes harm upon innocent people. Bastards like that can go die in a ditch.
its actually easy to de-enshittify your digital experience all you need to do is install this browser extension and this browser extension and this browser extension and input this custom script into the advanced box and go into your system settings and reconfigure all these options you didnt know existed and change your entire workflow and switch to this alternative operating system and this alternative web browser and this alternative chat client and this alternative word processor and this alternative- sorry that one turned out to be malware delete that one okay now double check your task manager for unwanted background processes and element block these ads and invest in a good VPN and append all your searches with AI blocking keywords and wait a few years until everything you just did becomes shitty too so you can do it all over again okay kitten. its literally that easy.
if you don't do anything else today,
Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.
have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.
and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.
black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.
if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.
This is Juneteenth.
white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.
Woah. Timothy Zahn, are you me?
I often hear the argument that having major characters die is more realistic than having them always come through unscathed. Of course it is. But I personally don’t want my fiction to necessarily be “realistic” – I want my fiction to be entertaining. For me, that means watching engaging characters I care about get into and out of dangerous predicaments, working and thinking together in order to defeat the bad guys. While some authors (and readers) like the tension of wondering who will live and who will die, I prefer the tension of seeing how the heroes are going to think or work their ways out of each difficult or impossible situation they find themselves in. If I want realism and the deaths of people I care about, I can turn on the news.

I’ve probably reblogged this before, but I think it’s worth repeating.

Australia's latest Federal Anti-trans bill

Transcript of second reading
Please help spread this petition far and wide for visibility The above reactionary bill was made in retaliation towards a trans woman winning a case in federal court against transphobes so now they're accellerating to hurt us all (Giggle Vs Tickle)
Hands off our Protections Our communities are facing some of the most serious attacks on our rights and protections in many years. Right no
The 50th anni pv made me so emotional
Part of the reason I hate the "Padawans are child soldiers" take (aside from TCW never presenting them as such, the take itself being a retroactively applied to tcw by newer works, or it being not what George Lucas had in mind), is the double standard
We got new stuff saying ahsoka has child soldier ptsd trauma, I've seen people recently act like its a given that Devon Izara has such too when they make their analyses of her, but we never apply that to 14 year old Ezra Bridger or 15 year old Sabine
The war they're fighting in is just as wacky whimsical adventure, no trauma no lingering issues, but the Clone Wars and the Padawans who fought in it? They're scarred for life by it, never mind that they were always depicted as being fine and eager to fight in Clone Wars, that not being allowed to fight was considered a punishment by the Padawans
if yall keep quoting anakin from when he was in the middle of his psychotic episode for reference on how he feels abt the jedi im just gonna have to start killing people
Trying very hard not to comment on a video...
Okay. It's not the Light and the Dark side of the force. What is called the "Light side" is the whole of the Force. What the Dark Side is is a stain, an imbalance of the Force. It is Force users seeking to control, to exhert their own wills, to control what should not be controlled.
There is no grey jedi.
Luke did not win by defeating Vader with anger. He won by tossing his lightsaber away, to say no to Darth Sidious, to choose to not kill Vader.
The balance of the Force was restored when Anakin killed first Darth Vader, then Darth Sidious.
"Anakin needed therapy."
"Why didn't anyone give Anakin therapy?"
"Anakin fell because he never got any therapy."
Anakin got 13 years of therapy, 10 which were spent with a dedicated therapist solely assigned to helping him manage his emotions and behavior so he could find a healthy path through life. But Anakin believed that he was the one person in the world who didn't need any therapy because he was better than everyone else who needed therapy and they were just jealous that he didn't need therapy when they tried to suggest that maybe he did in fact need therapy like the rest of them.
And then Anakin proceeded to murder all of the therapists and their children and spent at least two more decades continuing to hunt down any surviving therapists and anyone left who had the ability to BECOME a therapist, so while he was no longer receiving therapy at this point, that's pretty exclusively his own fault.
And even if there WERE some therapists still left alive, they weren't exactly jumping to offer him therapy anymore and it's pretty hard to blame them for that after he murdered them all.
So he mostly just ended up super lucky that a few of those surviving therapists ended up training his son to be a therapist and that his son was able to get through to him when no one else could specifically because this time it was his flesh and blood telling him these things and he was more willing to listen to his own flesh and blood.
So, yeah, I don't think the issue is that Anakin didn't get therapy when he needed it. That's a gross misunderstanding of his story and his character.
i NEED people to realise foreshadowing is. in fact. a literary device. and not a Bad Thing. the audience picking up on your hints is a Good Thing. because. it makes the story and it’s conclusion make sense. and some people will not see those but enjoy seeing them on a second read through. red herrings are one thing but if your novel consists of nothing but red herrings it’s not a coherent story it’s just a collection of paragraphs that don’t actually plausibly link to one another. you're not fighting with the audience you don’t look clever you look like you don’t know how basic fiction works. be vulnerable for once in your goddamn life and don't treat writing like a game to be won where the audience losing is a good thing.
What my quarterly performance review says.
we need to regulate tech companies so hard and fast that their ceos start committing suicide for lack of any other real options. we need the people responsible for the erosion of consumer rights to be so widely known and openly reviled that people spit on them on the street every time they leave their houses.
