In the spirit of encouraging people to comment on fanfics while also making it easier to do so, I feel obliged to share a browser extension for ao3 that has quite literally revolutionized the comment game for me.
I present to you: the floating ao3 comment box!
From what I've seen, a big problem for many people is that once you reach the comments at the bottom of a fic, your memory of it miraculously disappears. Anything you wanted to say is stuck ten paragraphs ago, and you barely remember what you thought while reading. This fixes that!
I'll give a little explanation on the features and how it works, but if you want to skip all that, here's the link.
Edit: Yes, this also works on mobile!
The extension is visible as a small blue box in the upper left corner.
(Side note: The green colouring is not from the extension, that's me.)
If you click on it, you open a comment box window at the bottom of your screen but not at the bottom of the fic. I opened my own fic for demonstrative purposes.
The website also gives explanations on how exactly it functions, but I'll summarize regardless.
insert selection -> if you highlight a sentence in the fic it will be added in italics to the comment box
add to comment box -> once you're done writing your comment, you click this button and the entire thing will automatically copied to the ao3 comment box
delete -> self explanatory
on mulitchapter fics, you will be given the option to either add the comment to just the current chapter or the entire fic
The best part? You can simply close the window the same way you opened it and your progress will automatically be saved. So you can open it, comment on a paragraph, and then close it and keep reading without having the box in your face.
Comments are what keep writers going, and as both a writer and a reader, I think it's such an easy way of showing support and enthusiasm.
i think the key difference between george lucas’s star wars and disney’s star wars is that lucas is a man with an ideology. someone with a point of view, and all that entails. which comes with ideas of revolution, anti-imperialism, challenging the status quo, cultural appropriation and racist stereotypes. complex and contradictory ideas because that’s how artists are: complex and complicated people. disney is not. disney is a corporation. a corporation can’t have ideology, because ideology defeats the purpose of profit. and when the only thing you do is to turn on the movie manufacturing machine before you sit down and plan what ideas are you trying to convey to the audience, then your results are going to be washed out corporate garbage. and because when you’re a giant corporation who only cares about selling to the widest audience possible, you can’t take sides. you can’t decide on an idea. because you want to sell your product to people who are on the entire political spectrum. which results in movies without ideology, without purpose, without soul.
I have been looking for this post for years after I came across it and it’s finally here and I need to reblog this because it is absolutely and entirely accurate.
#as I always say: lucas was making a samurai film and a ww2 flying ace film and a western film and adding laser swords#because he fundamentally LIKED samurai films and dambusters films and westerns and 40’s adventure serials#but disney are making a ‘star wars film’ and adding nothing because it already had laser swords and they have nothing else to say#xerox of a xerox baybeeeee (via harrietvane)
An unidentified woman uses the end of a ribbon to dry her eyes as she mourns her husband, one of at least 41 people killed in the Kielce Pogrom, an outbreak of violence against the Jewish community centre’ gathering of refugees in the city of Kielce. It was Poland’s bloodiest postwar Pogrom. Associated Press Photo from New York - 1946.
For those who don’t understand the significance of the picture or date, this particular pogrom, the Kielce pogrom, was one of the most despicable in human history. After the Holocaust, survivors were trying to make their way home, or whatever was left of home, to meet up with their loved ones and see who else had survived. (For example, my cousin came home from Auschwitz to discover that his father was still alive but his mother and siblings were murdered.)
Out of the fear that the Jews would claim their stolen property, Jewish refugees were attacked and murdered. This is AFTER the Holocaust, after the death camps, after the Nazis had been overthrown. For those who like to pretend that antisemitism ended after the Holocaust, remember that over 40 Holocaust refugees, who had survived 6 years of ghettos, death camps, marches through snow, starvation and disease, were viciously murdered by non-Nazis. By civilians. By regular people. That these people looked at refugees looking for their family and said, “We didn’t finish the job.”
Does it sicken you? Because it should.
As an American Pole I feel this is an important piece of history that should not be forgotten. There are many anti-semitic Poles who will wax on about how so many Poles lost their lives to save Jews and etc but so few will talk about the horrors the Jewish refugees experienced upon returning to places they had called home. I grew up listening to relatives who had smuggled food into the Krakow ghetto as children, relatives who went on to hide a family of young Jews in their home and help them escape to America, and by whose goodwill they were able to emigrate to America years later, be ragingly anti-semitic at every turn. It’s disgusting.

finally made the comic for these stickers :)

I felt so vindicated when that study on period blood loss that used ACTUAL blood instead of water came out and confirmed that women bleed a lot more than we were previously told because I had BEEN saying that the amount that was showed in studies was absolutely incorrect for years. My old doctor was like "I'm sure it feels like it's a lot more than that, but it's only about two tablespoons a day!" As if I wasn't filling up three overnight pads a day and still bleeding through and somehow getting it all over my underwear. I lose like 8 ounces on day two alone, fuck all of these people who do jank ass studies you can't trust any of these men in the labs
A public health researcher I know had an informant who was recording the contents of her diva cup every cycle and when she brought the data to her doctor he was like "that's not true". 🙃
Credit card companies will TRY to saddle you with this kind of debt by the way - if ever a loved one dies and you are not co-signed on their credit card, do NOT agree to pay their debt unless you ask a lawyer first if you truly have to.
They will say “don’t you want them to go to the grave without debt”, they will try to guilt you, they will take advantage of your vulnerability.
Source: when my father died, he had some credit cards that my mom wasn’t on that she had no access to. The companies contacted her while she was sorting through the bills and getting a handle on how to run the house alone, badgering her with his credit card debt.
She wasn’t liable for any of it, but if she had ever agreed to pay before finding out that she didn’t need to, she would have been considered to have taken on his debt and would have HAD to pay it. It’s slimy, it’s predatory, and it’s entirely legal for them to do this.
Never accept the credit card company’s word about your obligation to pay anyone else’s debt, if you don’t have access to the card, ask a lawyer before agreeing to anything.
"It's like a hole in my life, an eight-year hole. That's what I find interesting in people's lives, the holes, the gaps, sometimes dramatic, but sometimes not dramatic at all. There are catalepsies, or a kind of sleepwalking through a number of years, in most lives. Maybe it's in these holes that movement takes place."

i must not get takeout. takeout is the wallet-killer. takeout is the little-death that brings total obliteration. i will face the kitchen, fridge, and pantry. i will make choices about what to cook and then execute them. when hunger is gone there will be nothing. only i will remain.
When I was in grade school I used to send emails to biologists and zoologists asking them questions to get answers to include in school projects I was working on, and would cry when they did not respond because I thought I was stupid for thinking that some random kid would ever be deserving of a response from someone who does something as smart and cool and important as *checks notes* studies frog fungus.
Now, at 29, I’m lowkey having a panic attack because my academic email is filled with middle schoolers wanting me to answer their questions about pygmy raccoons and I keep putting off answering them because I’m so overwhelmed with all the other raccoon stuff I have to do.
Anyway, greatest apologies to any scientist I ever emailed as a child and also an adult.
I know your research is really important and I appreciate all you are doing but this is so fucking funny
i love project hail mary oh no
jellyfish lifecycles piss me off a little bit
you don't have to do that. you can just not do that
mirandaflint absolutely insane. both of us are in love with the same dead man so sometimes we have grief sex about it but #nohetero. also we are keeping each other’s dearest and best kept secrets which means we are the only people we can actually get mad at & fight with because we know we are safe with each other . and btw one of us is becoming someone unforgivable and the other is complicit and both of us are unrecognizable now to our shared dead husband. like hello ? can anyone hear me hello ???
