Important rules for the "age verification" era of the internet that we're living in:

1. Do not do age verification.

2. If you have to do age verification, cheat. Do not under any circumstances give them your real ID.

my nothing

[landwriter]

just wanted to thank fandom, and in particular everybody who has ever let me a long heartfelt comment on my fic, because experiencing that as a creator of things has made me realize i myself am going through life as a coward. not only has your commenting materially changed me & encouraged me to write, but it has also made me change how i engage with all kinds of art because i cannot un-learn how powerful those kinds of comments can be.

i went to a show on the weekend and loved a band - big enough to tour nationally, small enough to be the opener at a $20 bar show. we chatted and i bought merch and it was perfectly lovely but i’d listened to their album since getting tickets and have come to love it in a much more specific and personal way than “awesome set, you guys were great”

in the past i would not have done anything with these feelings, and if i shared them with anyone it would have been my friends - certainly not the band. but instead i wrote them a long and earnest message the next day. embarrassing! horrible! but knowing what it has meant to me to receive such a message made me push through it and hit send even while wanting to pitch myself into a pit of personal mortification.

but what do you know, lo and behold, shocking no one except the cop and coward in my head, the lead singer replied thanking me, and talked more about their plans and music, in an even longer wall of text.

it’s things like this that keep me going as an artist, he said. thank you again, my heart is so full

anyways, so is mine, thinking of all the people who have told me exactly how something i shared made them feel, and made me confront how pointless and miserly it is to sit on my feelings and gratitude just because i am shy of showing them; what a sad dead end for the transformative touch of creation, when it could be reflected right back into the heart of the person who reached out into your guts in the first place.

here’s to those who keep it all going, and in doing so, spread it to the rest of us, rolling outward and outward, filling up hearts.

let’s start parsing who does and doesn’t deserve representation and assign moral weight to agreeing to protect their rights I don’t see how this could possibly go wrong

[anarchistmemedistro]

[onusjott]

This is the endpoint of assigning morality based on ontologies of people. You wind up with the simplest ontology: good or bad.

[noonmutter]

If "defending only good people" is how one lawyers ethically, then one does not understand ethics.

Case in point: define "good." You get one definition and cannot alter it once scenarios are presented to you.

You can't alter it, in fact, until that definition is applied and afterward it turns out the person that was exonerated or condemned was done so in error, and it will take many years to correct. If the court even cares to.

The error results in a person being incarcerated for over a decade, or the death penalty was used. The error has destroyed or even ended a life, because your definition of "good" wasn't good enough. And until the definition's updates are made official, more people every day have the original erroneous one applied to them. They continue to suffer for your arrogance.

But somehow, you blame the lawyer, who is required to operate under that definition that you gave them.

This is how law works.

How do fanfic writers feel knowing that people might have been masturbating to their work?

[starfieldcanvas]

[yeomanrand]

What a weird thing to ask.

today there was a “flash mob” set up by the seniors because it was their second to last day so they blasted the macarena over the loud speaker and did the dance in the main lobby but our headmaster knew about it so it wasn’t even funny but whilst walking past the elevator i found out why they really did this so called “flash mob”

it was a distraction

they put chickens in the elevator

[tipsykipsy]

This was wild because I forgot your high schoolers are called seniors and I thought you were talking about old folks

[grossaustralian]

“it was their second to last day”

This is one of the most powerful images I have ever seen, and I will reblog it every single time because every single time it brings tears to my eyes.

I love when a meme gets so many steps away from its source material that it would be completely incomprehensible if I didn't know what today's date was

[taraljc]

I only know this reference because of memes. I've never even heard the song all the way through. I've only ever heard the chorus.
