Reading amazing fanfiction, then forgetting to bookmark it

[aphony-cree]

enter this into the Google search

site:<url of site where you read the fic> <a line you remember from the fic or character names plus a unique detail>

for example:

site:http://archiveofourown.org/ Todd Margo pedicure

Google will search only AO3 and tell you which pages contain the words Todd Margo and pedicure.

REBLOG!!!

Not sure how common this knowledge is, but I’d like to add that if you enclose a piece of text in quotation marks, Google will search for only the exact wording of it. So if you’re lucky enough to remember an exact quote, that’s also a powerful tool. I can’t count the number of obscure tumblr posts I’ve tracked down from screenshots with just those two techniques; I’m sure it’ll work for fic too.

[desolationlesbian]

People who insist tumblr must be 90% LGBT because their self-curated dash is have never gotten a weird comment on a post and went to check the person's blog and discovered an entire deep subculture of christian and tradwife users reblogging anti-abortion quotes and transphobia between each other. I promise you they're on here.

[jettkuso]

this is just what it's like being on a platform that doesn't necessarily push inflammatory people and things toward you on purpose

The Jake Paul fight against Anthony Joshua gotta be a prime example of how desperately conservative wealthy douchebags like JP cling to the fantasy that they are physically the strongest, toughest winners of society. In what fucking world would a man like AJ lose to someone 5" shorter and 20 pounds lighter with no professional heavyweight experience. JP is convinced he can pay for the experience of beating someone at the top of their field, because that's what he wanted out of this. He paid for the ability to say "I can beat Anthony Joshua." He genuinely forgot there is something called the love of the game, and if this look in Joshua's eyes ain't it idk what is

[iwilleatyourenglish]

i ask everyone to remember that Anthony Joshua is an Olympic gold medalist with this fucking record:

the fact Paul even challenged him, implying he could stand a chance against AJ, is an insult.

[remember-you-are-needed]

Please can we make sure we reblog the other angle of that moment of the fight in which JP looks like he's seen his own death and knows it is imminent.

this is the worst I have ever been hate crimed on tumblr dot com

[ontologicalsynaesthesia]

Yesterday I told a guy I was ace/aro and he asked what “aro” meant, so I told him, and he responded, “Oh, I thought it might be like A-E-R-O and I was confused.”

Yes.  I am asexual/aerodynamic.  At the slightest hint of sex or romance I launch myself into the air and land several miles away.

[ontologicalsynaesthesia]

Happy 10th birthday to the most popular post I’ve ever made. I have learned about so many aroace characters with the ability to fly from this post and I love that.

[facelessoldgargoyle]

i fucking hate the “this is the good luck post.” Girl stop contributing to a superstitious environment with ur anecdotes there’s a million goddamn notes on it it’s statistically reasonable that a bunch of people remember the good things that happen after they reblog it

[yvfu]

this is the statistically reasonable post, reblogging it will have no effect except for putting this post on your blog

[moral-autism]

guys this post really works! I reblogged it and it really did put the post on my blog! you need to try it!

[makingqueerhistory]

I used to get a lot of hate for using the word "queer" in the title of this project. One of the justifications I gave was that LGBT+ was too easy to take apart. Just drop whatever letter you don't like and go on with your day.

My posts have gotten tagged LGB more and more often lately. Usually accompanied by the worst additions imaginable. People are starting to whittle down and choose who they think of as disposable, so let me say this:

Queer as in trans people

Queer as in asexual people

Queer as in aromantic people

Queer as in nonbinary people

Queer as in bisexual people

Queer as in unlabled people

Queer as in anyone who counts themselves as queer.

Queer as in no questions asked, just an open door and a place to stay.

[homunculus-argument]

Fascinated by the people who comment on online recipes like

"I tried making this vegetable dip! I didn't have mayo so I just used low fat yogurt instead, and we are doing keto so I replaced the sour cream with lard. My husband is deathly allergic to citrus fruit so to get the same tang I added vinegar instead of lime juice. I used pancake mix instead of garlic, and since I didn't have salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, parsley, or dill, I substituted with pumpkin spice and ground-up civet skull. My husband hated it :( I don't know what I did wrong."

Well ma'am, first of all, you made the Dip of Theseus.

[garlic-slut]

I think one of the most dangerous things we can do is justify why we should treat marginalized people well. “Gay people aren’t just interested in sex” “people who use welfare often work multiple jobs” “some people are fat because of a health issue” I actually don’t care about any of these things. We shouldn’t be treating people inhumanly regardless, and that’s what we’re fighting for.

[madlori]

Stay with me for a second.

I agree with all of the above, because it frames rights as something people deserve if they are marginalized for some morally pure reason.

Also.

This is why I've never liked the "love is love" and "love wins" sloganeering that's so common in the queer rights movement.

Saying that queer people deserve rights because "love is love" introduces emotionality into the equation. It says that queer people should be equally treated because our love is just as good.

Are straight people asked by the county clerk about the depth of their love before they get a marriage certificate? Nope. Straight people can marry someone they hate for a terrible reason and nobody argues that they shouldn't have the right to do that (they argue that they shouldn't because it's a stupid idea, but their rights to enter into the marriage aren't questioned).

Queer people don't deserve rights because LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE, Lin-Manuel Miranda, but because we are human beings who pay taxes and should be able to access the same rights and privileges that anyone else does. Period.

You'll never convince some people that queer people's love is valid and equal, and frankly, you shouldn't have to. Some people are just gonna hate gay people and you know what, that's their right. But those same people - and I know this because I've had conversations like this - can sometimes see the logic in "I should have the right to marry who I want because I'm a citizen of this country and the government shouldn't be able to tell me I don't get all the rights that straight people do." A surprising number of homophobes respond to this logic.

Using this "our love is just as special as straight love" messaging - while I get where it comes from, it gives me the ick, because it's introducing feelings (and thus morality) into a question that should be purely based on civics and law. Sure, some people have been moved past bigotry by experience or narratives about the emotional lives of queer people, but I just think that framing it as being about love is sidestepping the underlying issue. Because you aren't required to be in love to get married, and it's a trap that forces you to assert a lot of personal, emotion-based stuff that frankly has no place in discussions of equal rights.

I saw some weird ass conspiracy video thing today of like 'we were never meant to have access to yeast, that was cultivated in a lab and it harms us' bullshit and I was like well first off there's no such thing as 'meant to' and second of all um? the long history of acquiring yeast from beer foam stretching so far back ??????

[moniquill]

....you can acquire yeast FROM THE AIR.

If you want to make sourdough started from scratch, the process is 'mix water, flour, and maybe sugar if you've got it, then WHIP IN AS MUCH AIR AS YOU CAN' and let it sit. And this works. Because there's yeast there. In the air.

[turtlesandfrogs]

Not only is there yeast in the air, it's on a bunch of fruits, too. Ever rubbed a blueberry, plum, or grape, and it was slightly darker underneath? That thin film is wild yeasts. There is also yeasts that live on human skin (and not just pathogenic ones!). We are never without yeasts.

[supreme-leader-stoat]

[knighthawkchapter]

You do not have access to yeast; yeast has access to you.

In a recent poll, American think that:

21% of the US is transgender (the actual number is between 0.5% and 1.6%)

30% are gay or lesbian (3%) and an additional 30% are bisexual (4%), meaning the average American thinks that only around 19% of them are cisgender heterosexuals. The actual number of cisgender heterosexuals is around 90% of the population.

30% Muslim (1%) and 30% Jewish (2%), however contradictory to this they also think 58% are Christian, equaling 118% of Americans are of the abrahamic religions to the average American or some people are both Jewish or Muslim and Christian.

33% atheist (3%), meaning the abrahamic religions+ atheism is 141% of the US population.

41% black (12%), 27% (1%) native American, 29% asian (6%), and 39% Hispanic (17%), but also 59% white (64% actual)

30% live in NYC (3%), 30% live in Texas (9%), and 32% live in California (12%), meaning only 8% live in the rest of the country (actual 76%).

And lastly the average American believe only 62% of us have a high school education, actual number is 89%.

People vastly overestimate the general knowledge of the average American, let alone political knowledge and critical thinking skills. We live in the consequences of the children left behind.

At risk of sounding like a hater and an asshole this looks like AI and if its somehow not, the editor who reworked images and sharpened them up made it look like AI

Edit: yeah its AI

[theromanbarbarian]

This is the actual image (from a 6 year old reddit post so def not AI). Either someone asked AI to recreate it or AI, being the plagiarism machine it is, was asked for a pic of dogs finding humans in the snow and just ripped off the first image it could find. Another reminder that AI doesn't actually create anything. Also real cute dogs.

[badboneszone]

Actually a fantastic example for when you need to illustrate to someone that AI art is theft, blatantly, and not in some abstract way

This scene never fails to make me laugh like a loon every time I watch it and that makes me mad 

[jheselbraum]

Okay so one thing that always bugged me was “what happened immediately before this” and I think I’ve narrowed it down to two options:

Option A: Stan turned on the TV the old fashioned way, sat down, and realized too late what channel the TV was turned to

Option B: Stan turned on the TV however the heck he pleased, then proceeded to dissociate for several hours until The Duchess Approves brought him out of it
