my corner store guy is a 50 year old man who's my best friend in the world and recently he was like "you're too pretty to be single I have some nephews you should meet. very handsome!" and I was like "a niece might be more up my alley" and he just got more excited and said "ah even better! I was overselling my nephews but my nieces are very beautiful"

Moreover, overpopulation is an ecofascist myth specifically scapegoating ‘developing’ nations in the global south for climate disaster.

In reality, populations only rise so sharply as people begin to receive better access to healthcare and maternal and infant mortality in particular decrease. Eventually, as healthcare access is more evenly distributed through a population and people on a larger scale are able to access family planning care, the population stops increasing and levels out and decreases.

Which is why so-called ‘developed’ are all now manufacturing a crisis about population decline and not having enough bodies to fill out the labor force while simultaneously fearmongering about overpopulation in racialized groups. It’s eugenics shit.

This video is almost 10 years old and is so good at educating against ecofascist ideas of overpopulation. Makes me angry 10 years later we're still dealing with eugenics

[headspace-hotel]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO AND I LOST IT FOR AGES AND NOW I FOUND IT

Everybody go watch Hans Rosling destroy ecofascism thank u

[rooksunday]

okay but there is something disquieting about this urge to cast fan writers as altruists. they give us all this for free!! well, no.

they’re sharing

it’s a key difference in perception. fic isn’t given. it’s shared. it’s part of a fandom community— in which readers are also an integral part.

it’s probably inevitable mission creep from the increasingly transactional nature of the internet and fandom-as-consumerism, which was always gonna happen after corps worked out how much bank there is to make from those weirdo fan people

but like. fandom is sharing. i think we’ve lost that somewhere.

Tumblr users will say "queer history" and mean "midcentury archival records from a specific US-American city that I have extrapolated into a universal mythos" and not even blink

[taliabhattwrites]

"learn your queer history" I am from fucking INDIA

[taliabhattwrites]

Maybe your queer elders fictional or otherwise were also influenced by the biases and contradictions of their own circumstances, time and place, and I am no more beholden to their ideas and ways of doing things than I am to any other form of tradition trying to constrain me.

Perhaps history is a conversation and not an edict.

[taliabhattwrites]

I fucking snortled

[tpwrtrmnky]

Queer history such as: The interpersonal grievance I had five years ago with someone whose social media reach never broke into quadruple digits, but it felt super important at the time

[dandyart]

I love them

[martyreddie]

it's literally the evilest thing in the world to finally have time to write but then be tired. like wow you're telling me these two hours before going to bed are completely free but my brain is just Not Feeling It? fuck off

[jovishark]

some advice for people entering their 20s:

-dont go to the emergency room with dental problems. go to the dentist

-bagged greens are cheaper than pre-made salads

-taco bell is NOT worth the money anymore. 1/4 cup mayo, 1/4 cup sour cream, 3 tblspoons pickled jalapenos+2tblspoons of the jar liquid, 2 tsp paprika 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder salt+pepper. all in your blender. creamy jalapeno sauce

-dont quit your job unless you have a bunch of job interviews lined up immediately after

-use resources. food bank, unemployment, housing assistance, financial aid, etc. yes there will be paperwork. but Do It

-dont stay awake longer than 20 hours. you Will start to become impulsive and cranky. resting for 20 minutes is better than trying to stay awake

-for every 2 hours you spend looking up close at screens, spend 20 minutes looking at something far away from you. stretch your wrists a lot

-dont do that yoga stretch where you roll your head around your shoulders. youre grinding down the joints in your neck

-be nice to your friends, bullying them as a joke gets old. if you need a ride somewhere at least offer them gas money

-brush your teeth at any time of the day but especially before you sleep. dont snack in bed if you can help it. make your bed the Clean Teeth Zone. keep floss picks by your bed

-dont tell your boss youre adhd/autism/depression/suicidal. dont trust your coworkers with that. you NEVER know how people will take it and its none of their business

-train your pets to go to the front door when they hear a fire alarm

-get regular oil changes

Any advice for someone who's starting to write fanfic for a nonexistent fandom?

Don’t expect a huge response. Be happy for a hit and ecstatic for a kudos. Comments will be few and far between.

You’re going to have to do some heavy lifting if you want people to actually see your stuff. If it’s a new fandom things will get easier over time. If it’s an old one, you might have to hope for a wave of new cultural relevancy to get that. In the meantime, it’s all up to you and whoever else you can drag in with you. 

Make posts. Write metas. Post screen grabs or quotes. Ask friends from other fandoms to take a look at this one and see if they want to join you in your small fandom world. Tag posts with anything you think is relevant to try to make contact with anyone else out there who is in the same place you’re in and also looking for other people. 

Basically, shout into the void and hope someone shouts back.

[somekindofflowergirl]

Expect (and remember) that you will have less engagement, not because of quality, but because few are looking. The people who find your fic will be delighted just to have any new content, but writing for a small fandom has been a great exercise for me in practicing writing for myself. I write for it because I get that fic itch, because I just WANT to, not because of feedback.

Also, if possible, find (or recruit) at least one fandom friend to nerd out with and bounce things off. Good luck and have fun!

[thespacetofall]

If you build it, they will come. Just write the stories that you want to write, don’t think about the audience (in terms of say, what you think they want to read), and enjoy, tbh. I remember writing for a then non existent pairing in a fandom (I think I wrote the first 11 stories) and it was great. I could craft fannon and ‘canon’ however I pleased. Honestly, anon, it’s good to be first with such things, enjoy!
