i was training a young person at work, and she referred to sexual assault as "SA" out loud, and i immediately was like, "no, it's sexual assault, call it what it is," bc idgaf if the algorithm overlords have taught y'all that you should fear direct language, how tf do any of you expect to ever address real issues with any amount of seriousness if you can't even say the words? imagine an advocate looking a sexual assault survivor in the eyes and asking "did he grape you?" it's absolutely fucking absurd, but these young interns and new hires are coming into an environment where we deal with survivors of all different kinds of abuse, and they're coming with the mindset that the words are as bad as the actions, and that makes them shitty at the job and look juvenile af

i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience

say the fucking words, guys. just say the goddamn words before i go insane!!!

i like when a piece of media says that an all-powerful character "sees humans as insects" because that really could mean a lot of things. maybe they view us as insignifigant and will squish us under their boot. maybe theyre actually studying and cataloguing us for their thesis paper. maybe theyre campaigning for human protection because we're an important part of their ecosystem. maybe they see a human and go "ew ew ewwwwww someone get the cup and get that FREAK out of my house." .

The irony of this new breed of self-righteous AI hunters on AO3 is that they're all just copy and pasting peoples fics into AI detectors, which are all operated by AI and therefore THEY are feeding people's work into the algorithm without their consent and in some cases no doubt circumventing the locks people put on to avoid getting scraped...

Don't copy and paste anyone's AO3 work into third party websites, you're not the good guys in this situation?

I love ego renegade boy bc it takes the anti transmasc rhetoric of ‘how could you kill a beautiful girl’ ‘we’re mourning our daughter’ and says yeah I killed your daughter. and it was cool as fuck. I injected her with lethal chemicals aka my testosterone shot. I’m gonna make a music video about it.

What genuinely frustrates me is the scene with Michael. It feels like it was written by people who base their understanding of the characters on fanfiction stereotypes rather than on the actual show or the book.

Aziraphale wouldn’t have kept fluttering around Michael, endlessly talking about forgiveness. He might have tried that for a moment—because compassion is part of who he is—but the second it became clear it wasn’t working, he would have switched modes and done whatever was necessary to fix the situation. That’s exactly the pattern we’ve seen from him throughout the story.

This doesn’t even reflect how Aziraphale actually behaves in situations of real danger. When it mattered, Aziraphale switched gears completely and pointed a gun at Adam. When it mattered, he tore the halo from his own forehead and incinerated the demons. Above all else, Aziraphale is a fighter—a warrior. He may not enjoy that part of himself, but that’s how an angel responds when the situation becomes critical: with absolute resolve. He doesn’t stand there fluttering around the person who’s destroying everything. This is one of the most out-of-character portrayals of Aziraphale in s3.

Feeling physical exhaustion as a psychosomatic reaction to things that feel daunting or intimidating is such a ridiculously counterproductive thing to do. Like there's a situation that requires you to be alert and mentally present and paying attention, and your brain just goes "hey I don't wanna. I don't wanna be here. How about going unconscious instead. No fuck you we're warping out. Night night."

[homunculus-argument]

Like I would appreciate more information than just "hey there was something but no worry I already pulled the alarm. wdym you need to know what it was. no we don't. we don't have to deal with that, I already pulled a full emergency shutdown." Like bitch yes we fucking do. The fuck did you do that for.

having collaborative ocs with friends will have you saying shit like "what if scimble was bumpus wouldnt that be funny" and then like two weeks later its one of the most important pieces of lore you have
