is it just me or has fandom discussions on tumblr gotten more argumentative and trend more towards condescension?

When I was a teen in the 2010s boys would call each other Gay to say they were too effeminate but now it’s 2026 and we’re “Better Than That” so I just overheard a kid on the bus tell his buddy “you gotta get on T man cause you are NOT passing” 😭😭😭😭😭

If I was paid I’d do a study on this

To the average American, every nation in the world can be split into one of the following categories:

- Useful for food

- Useful for pop culture

- Useful for slaves I mean cheap labor

- Categorically Evil

- Vacation spot

- Vacation spot (sex tourism)

- Who??

There are overlaps of course

Seeing a post about LJ possibly shutting down, and I was thinking about all the fics and recs and meta that haven’t been posted elsewhere. A lot of people who got into fandoms later don’t know how much good stuff was never put on Ao3. Would just be sad to lose all that.

Yup.

I assume the post you saw was linking to Denise's thread. Your options are to import to DW (if it's your own LJ account or a community you own) or to buy ViddersAdmin's program, which sounds like it can grab coms, including all of a kinkmeme's comment threads. It doesn't sound like it can grab locked posts, but I'm not sure.

I hope this lights a fire under people's asses to save things. Personally, I got very tired after nobody gave two shits about yahoo groups.

People for whom LJ was peak fandom can work on saving LJ content.

The ArchiveTeam (team behind most of the large website archives on archive.org) is working on setting up a LiveJournal archive process.

They need URLs

Send lists of URLs to their upload page, they have instructions for doing so on the wiki page I linked.

I got VidderAdmin's tool (it's actually an Excel sheet with some backend functionalities added) and so have some input! It can definitely get locked posts and locked comm posts. I used it to successfully back up a number of locked comms the other night.

Things to know if you decide to go that route:

It costs $20. Considering the amount of work Vid and his team have put into it and doing constant support over the last week I feel that that's fair.

You will need Excel. LibreOffice will not work for this purpose. You can currently get Office 2021 here for less than $35 and that works just fine for this purpose. (I have needed an installation of Excel for work purposes so this was pretty much free for me. I can get reimbursed.)

You will need Chrome for this. You don't need to log in to a Google account for anything, but the tool basically uses Chrome to automate the month by month archiving process on LJ.

I strongly recommend watching the entire video in the powerpoint that comes with the purchase of the tool before doing anything else. He guides you step by step through the entire setup and installation process. It's not difficult, but there are some things you need to do that are not intuitive or obvious.

You'll need to email Vid so he can give you a license key for the software.

Vid and his team are also willing to back up your journal for you if you only need a couple of journals dealt with and don't want to deal with an installation.

For my purposes (about ten locked RP comms some of which had hundreds of entries and thousands of comments) it made sense to spend the money and do it myself and Vid was very responsive and courteous throughout the parts where communication was necessary.

After the tool is entirely setup the actual backing up process is extremely simple and requires very little input on your end. The largest comm I backed up took a couple of hours, but it worked!

Ooh! Thank you for the update!

ViddersAdmin does so much work of this type. I think I still have a recurring donation set up for one of his vidding projects.

Nothing slapped my shit back into place like someone pointing out that the "genius gifted child with so much potential who got burnout and mental illness" is just the nerd equivalent to the jock "could have been a pro at sportsball if it wasn't for the injury".

It's really telling that no one on the yt ass app has talked about how ICE has just been given more power to abuse the latine and immigrant community. I know it's all been "charlie kirk this, charlie kirk that" but that doesn't detract from that fact that on Monday, September 8th the supreme court ruled that ice can detain based solely on having brown skin or "looking latine," speaking Spanish or speaking English with an accent, being present at locations that have migrant workers, or the type of work they have.

When this news broke my dad told me and my siblings, all of us who are US Citizens, born and raised in the US, that we have to carry some form of official documentation on us, especially because we live in a city that has been heavily targeted by the Trump administration for being a sanctuary city. My grandmother was staying with us and even though she is my non-latine grandmother, and she's a US citizen, my dad and aunt made the decision to have my dad drive her back home to New Jersey because she has an accent and her documents are back home.

As someone who is latine and south asian, I need you to know that this will not just affect latine people! My non-latine cousin was pulled over by ice about two weeks ago just for being brown! However this will disproportionately affect latine people. Just today ICE was seen on the street by my home and my work! One of my duties at work is to make sure that ICE does not come into our elementary school because we're a predominantly latine school. I HAVE TO MAKE SURE ICE DOES NOT KIDNAP 5 YEAR OLDS. That is the reality of the situation.

I want it to be known that I have been scared before because I'm living as a person of color in the United States. I have been scared before because of being a south asian born post 9/11. I have been scared before being a latina growing up during the Dreamer movement, despite being a citizen. However, before this week I have never been scared enough to feel the need to carry documentation proving I am a citizen of the damn country I was born in! Now I feel that scared though. Especially because a few months ago, for the first time in my life, someone assumed I didn't speak English. Another person of color assumed I didn't speak English and shit talked me in the CVS aisle because they assumed I didn't speak English. And then a week ago I also got mistaken for not speaking English when I went to the doctor's office and chatted with the receptionist in Spanish and then was handed Spanish paperwork to fill out.

Anyways, the point is the fact that I have seen maybe two? three? posts about this on here is upsetting and immensely telling. Speak up. Talk about the fact that this is happening because it will not stop with targeting latines. It will become worse. It already is because the government is going to punish immigrants for "making light of" charlie kirk's death. Not for celebrating, or joking, for making light of.

This silence is astounding. It's not surprising, but it is just astounding to see how little y'all truly care about brown people and immigrants.

Sort of a continuation of that stupid joke about terminally offline Clark

technofeudalism

if you wiped every ICE agent off the face of the earth, a hundred million people would become safer overnight. if you wiped every furry off the face of the earth, the entire internet would collapse for good in a matter of hours. i know where my allegiances lie.
