a very happy pride month to juhani from knights of the old republic, star wars’ first queer character and one of - if not the first - positive portrayals of a lesbian woman in a video game!!

When my mother forgets a word, she is the queen of coming up with new words. Words that would take a third National Treasure movie to fully decipher. I was talking to her yesterday, and she said this: “You know the time for los jibbities is coming up. You must be so excited!” Oh, is it time for los jibbities already? I must have missed it on my calendar. Are we celebrating something? “Of course! We should all be celebrating, shouldn’t we?” OK, so los jibbities is a happy thing. It’s not like something is giving you the heebie-jeebies, which would have been my one and only guess. “Los heebie-jeebies? Now you’re making things up...and this is my show.” You’re right. The time for los jibbities is coming up. Is this a season? “Yes, the season for love. The season for pride.” OK, los jibbities. “Yeah, sound it out.” Los…jibbities. LGBTs! “Sí, mira cuz you’re gay!” “You couldn’t just say pride season? You couldn’t just… *laughs*

Before June I have to share one of my favorite tiktoks

sometimes i wonder if we have forgotten that sharing creative work is, fundamentally, a bid for human connection. like I'm not posting art or fic for 'engagement' i'm posting it looking for other sickos to play with! i'd be making it anyway for my own gratification because there's something wrong with me, i'm sharing it hoping we can have something wrong with us together <3

Hi! It’s been really exciting to see all the takes on proper beta reader etiquette- I feel like beta readers have fallen out of fashion recently and it’s good to know that people are still interested.

I was wondering if it’s possible to be a beta reader without being a published fic author. I love reading fanfic and editing people’s writing (mostly grammar, sentence structure, etc.) but I haven’t published anything myself. I’m sure most people looking for a beta reader would prefer to read something that the reader has written to make sure styles and such align, but would any writers be open to a beta reader with no published works?

Of course you can beta read without being a writer yourself! You still have thoughts and opinions that can be shared. And as we've discussed, there are many types of betas:

grammar and spelling checkers

canon compliance checkers

characterization checkers

localization and translation help

consistency and logical flow help

reading for sensitivity to marginalized or underrepresented groups

assisting with AO3 tags and summary

cheer reading (being an enthusiastic reader to motivate the author to keep going)

Betas are often a rare resource in fandom - especially now when they aren't talked about as much. Putting yourself out there as a volunteer would be appreciated. I'm sure of it!

#being a beta is also a great way to make friends #and to contribute back to the community #Even if you are not a perfect grammar checker it is valuable to be able to tell a writer when their beats are not landing #or when they land! sometimes letting the author know their sentence or their plot twist made you gasp is the thing that keeps them going #PS I am an experienced beta #Hit me up if you want to know more about what I think being a good one entails #or if you just want to work on a story together

This Pride Month, we’re celebrating the beauty of diversity above and below the surface. The ocean is full of vibrant life in every color imaginable. It reminds us that nature thrives when everyone has space to belong.

Environmental advocacy and the LGBTQ+ rights movement share a common purpose: protecting vulnerable communities, caring for the spaces we all call home, and creating a world where we all can flourish. Our world is brightest when people can live authentically, love freely, and be embraced for who they are. From rainbow reefs to shimmering tides, diversity makes our blue planet stronger, healthier, and more inspiring.

Here’s to protecting our ocean, uplifting every voice, and honoring the colorful communities that make this world so wonderful.

"thought crimes aren't real, it's your actions that matter" and "your mindset informs how you treat others, so you should try not to have a shitty one" are another pair of things that are both true btw

annual reminder that this is who pride is for:

❤️ those who are out & proud

🧡 those who aren’t out at all

💛 people still figuring it all out

💚 folks trying out new labels or terms

💙 people who have always known

💜 people who are just realizing

🩷 those out there being loud

🤍 those waiting until it’s safer

🩵 our elders who came before to pave the way

🤎 and youth making change right here, right now

we see you, you're valid, you belong here.

promise.
