and if s3 starts with wednesday's voice narrating "enid stayed at the mansion-"

funny thing, my father did that whole throw plates from the table, just like bob's father in his shame room, even flipped the table out of anger when i was a kid—and i bought tickets for him and my brother to go watch thunderbolts with me

hope that scene slapped him right in the face

Mel stronger and more loyal than ALL of us bc if james buchanan “bucky” the winter soldier barnes, in a suit and tie, asked me ANYTHING god himself could keep my lips shut or my legs closed amen

[retro-aesthe]

this, then she's being called a "good girl" by an older woman in a power suit. i mean girl's winning either way

i just realized taskmaster was incinerated "burned" again. she survived it once, she'll survive it again (im gonna ignore she was shot)

[retro-aesthe]

if florence or yelena told me in that low voice that she owns me i would have died

The rest of the thread is here.

tl;dr: Don’t monetize AO3, kids.  You won’t like what happens next.

[ratherembarrassing]

read this thread. this is by far the most concise explanation of a lot of different issues that i’ve seen in fandom spaces in a while. cosigning both the linked thread and the thread about aus/uk/can law that’s linked in-thread.

AHDHXHEBSG TWITTER WRITERS DID WHAT NOW???? AND PEOPLE PAID THEM????

[prof-grace-aspen]

If someone has never taken a class that includes copyright law, they may not know this stuff, so I don’t necessarily blame random people for not knowing what copyright is, but like… maybe just maybe it’s something that should be taught????

[antifa-stray]

[mercurywells]

Just another reminder, because this always drives me crazy, but even if monetizing your fic was 100% unambiguously legal and protected, AO3 would still not let you do it because AO3 was founded and is supported by people like me who want a fandom community that is completely divested from making money off of fic.

yelena's move of falling from high places back first might be because the last time that happened, natasha suddenly appeared and saved her even when yelena thought that was the end

SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE + letterboxd reviews (x, x, x) insp.

Remember when Jeff Bezos, who is worth 181 billion USD donated 690k to stopping Australian fires? Yeah, me too.

[s-s-s-senp-p-p-pai]

McKenzie Scott is literally proof that these fuckers can donate HUGE sums of money to EVERYTHING and still live a comfortable life.... But nooO someone HAS to justify the pitifully small donations the richest men on earth make every year for their tax write-off

[a-slut-for-smut]

Some also important context (this is June 2021, after her second round of grants was announced), as well: 

[image description: tweet from Dan Price, the Seattle business owner who doesn’t take a massive salary and pays everybody at his company really well: “Two years ago, she had $36 billion. Since then, she has donated $8 billion - more than anyone in the world. She is now worth $60 billion. I think people struggle to understand just how fast wealth accumulates for the super-rich. She literally can't give it away fast enough.”.]

[mana4anam-deactivated20221204]

She’s trying to singlehandedly redistribute the wealth she took back from Jeff Bezos and is failing at it because the economy is built so that wealth travels from the bottom, accumulates at the top, and then stays there. She literally cannot give her money away fast enough.

Think about this. This is our current capitalist economy at work. It is working as intended and designed by those who benefit from it.

Her story is incredibly revealing of how and where the system is failing.

It also means that we can, indeed, tax the hell out of billionaires and they will not suffer at all.

really would kill to see Addison with Calzona like, she's one of Callie's close friends and Addison's field is close to Arizona's

imagine Callie's reaction whenever they're all hanging out then all of a sudden she would get ditched or feel slightly out of place by the two talking about diagnosis/treatment for a certain patient

she would be all jealous if not for Addison constantly talking about her latest relationship drama but she would always snap at Arizona when they're alone how she's "stealing" her best friend

she never gets used to it and Mark would always tease her about it

aaaand Addison for sure would get Sofia her first Prada or Manolo
