to the road we've travelled, to the road ahead

CHECK THE PINNED POST. Technically a writeblr but never bothered to establish that. Multifandom but only for stuff I'm not continually obsessed with, so check the pinned post for links to my sideblogs where I contain those interests. DNI if you think DNI lists are a good idea.

Lottie, aka The-Tomorrow-Road

*A New and Improved Tumblr Intro*

Heyo! My name is Lottie, I'm here to reblog a random array of posts and occationally pretend to be a writeblr. I'm making a new one of these after a few years because I've changed some stuff, or some stuff will be changing. Here are my sides:

Sideblogs: @laser-tripwires for leverage, the librarians, the ark, the outpost, almost paradise & related things (pretty much as active as main) @king-arthurs-car-park for misc folklore and medieval-leaning nonsense @mistook-the-stars 18+ sideblog for the witcher, the amazing devil, plus a smattering of other darker stuff and anything i'm too squeamish to want on main @fields-of-mist-and-silver (inactive, WATCH THIS SPACE) +1 that you won't find this easily

this account, @the-tomorrow-road, is and will remain my general dumping ground for all and every shitpost and fleeting interest. tags are all over the place right now but i'm working on changing that.

robert sean leonard will deliver 98% of all his lines using one of two tones but then he will unlock the most world-expanding idiosyncratic deliveries and that’s when you sit up and go ah that is a man destined for the stage and screen

An ableism that sometimes really pops out of people is allergies (+including gluten free either due to intolerance or esp celiac). Like people can be pro disability advocacy but then be like ew people are cringe allergic to stuff and make.it up for attention and are weird because of it and im.like hey man what

inability to correctly perceive 3d objects is in fact far more dangerous when someone is driving a car next to you then when they're like, sending emails to you.

harm reduction saves lives.

it's a good thing when someone shoots up with a clean needle.

it's a good thing when someone carries Narcan, whether they use drugs themselves or not.

it's a good thing when someone switches from using laced drugs to clean drugs.

it's a good thing when someone starts using only one drug at a time.

it's a good thing when someone goes on medication assisted treatment like suboxone, methadone, or amphetamines.

it's a good thing when someone reduces their spending on substances, or the frequency of their drug use.

it's a good thing when someone gets regular tests for STIs.

it's a good thing when someone is using with friends instead of using alone.

people who use drugs don't have to be abstinent to take better care of ourselves. any positive change we make around our substance use should be encouraged and accepted, never stigmatized or dismissed!

I told my little nephew that I'd wave at his airplane when it flew over my house today, and he very calmly and politely explained that it wouldn't be possible to see me due to the limitations of human vision. I said he just had to squint real hard, and he took a deep breath and went into the toddler version of "see, what you're not understanding–"

apropos of everything I've been doing a little queer history project for work since it's pride month, where we post a little snippets of US queer history every day of June. and it's uuuuh it's genuinely incredible how many landmark moments in our history start with "so a bunch of queer people were being relentlessly harassed by police for the crime of existing in public." and it's not that I loved cops before this, don't get me wrong, but it's really laid out so starkly how little reading you actually have to do to realize that the police exist first and foremost to perform state sanctioned violence and emotional terrorism against undesirable groups of people, which includes queer people as well as people of color, disabled people PARTICULARLY those who are visibly mentally ill, the poor and unhoused, immigrants, sex workers, and all combinations of the above. like. that's what cops is, that's the purpose of cops. anything niceys that a cop has done for you personally or any loved ones you have who are cops don't erase what cops are for.

Apparently some people still need to hear this so: using an 'ai checker' is still using ai. If you are feeding someone's fic to one of these checkers, you will still not be sure their fic is ai because they are not 100% accurate, but you can be 100% sure that you are using ai. For fic. Furthermore you are doing the work of an ai scraper for them. You are, personally, feeding the machine. There is no actual excuse for using an ai checker on fanfic as a hobby. YOU are the problem.

If you think a fic is ai, mute it and move on. That's it. That's all you do.
