that bad sensory moment when you’re trying to do something that requires a lot of focus and the people around you are talking loudly and you’re just sitting there like $&@&&@@^%#%^%***++*%%#%^*+%%%

daniel radcliffe calling out j.k. rowling on her bullshit is big dick energy

[wakingfromthewater]

One thing I have not seen mentioned in light of this statement, perhaps because it's just well known or perhaps because it's been forgotten, is that Radcliffe has dealt with this before. About 10 years ago his friendship with a trans musician named Our Lady J became known to the tabloids. They immediately published sensational articles calling her a transvestite and a drag queen (she was not), and speculating about the nature of their relationship. He responded to insinuating questions by simply being aggressively positive about what a great musician and good friend she was. They did at least one interview together for a queer magazine. This at a time when trans people were even more marginalized than now, and when he as an actor was finishing Harry Potter and under a lot of pressure to ~manage his image~ as he transitioned to an adult career.

TL;DR - Radcliffe has a record of not just saying nice things, but supporting trans people in his life.

“Recently, a friend of mine told me that she felt guilty that she hadn’t accomplished more during the last year of the pandemic. Now, I’ve heard that a few times. And I have a feeling we’re gonna be hearing that more and more.”

[gallusrostromegalus]

The fact that I can't remove and clean my internal organs is a serious design flaw. I SHOULD be able to turn my lungs inside out like a sea cucumber and run them under a tap for a few minutes. The fact I can't pop open my forehead and take a waterpik to my sinuses is Bullshit. I want to autoclave my uterus.

always wanted to make my own ask game

[moonlit-sunflower-books]

friends to lovers never had a bad track. “scared i’ll ruin what we have” SLAPS. “friendship cuddles while secretly dying inside” BANGER. “teasing each other and holding eye contact for a little too long” KILLS ME. and don’t even get me STARTED on “screaming i love you in the middle of a heated argument.”

I was today years old when I learned that when you type "otp: true" in AO3 search results it filters out fics with additional ships, leaving only the fics where your otp is the main ship

Here’s a cheatsheet of all the available hidden search functions. “-creators:[whatever]” is another exclusion that can be particularly useful.

[accursedvoid]

@gentrychild useful! :0

[gentrychild]

Thank you!

[repbeyondthedefaults]

I've known this for awhile. These cheat codes make almost everything that is annoying on AO3 a non-issue. It's a seriously badass platform. To be clear, you must put the code in "search within results" EXACTLY as it appears in the code list. No capitals, the right spaces and punctuation.

[sparklylovegiver]

Cheats of AO3? Dont mind if i do.

society went downhill when u stopped being able to go on youtube and look up "[show] season 1 episode 1" and getting the full episode broken up into parts but otherwise completely intact and it had every single episode

[radiantbabey]

i wish people (even in the mental health field) would acknowledge that trauma doesn't necessarily have to be an extreme, earth shattering horrifying event in order to affect us. we forget that we are gentle animals. have you ever stopped to think that maybe you being picked last for kickball every time was traumatic? have you thought about the fact that you internalized false messages that you aren't good enough, you aren't athletic, you aren't desirable because of moments like that? nobody acknowledges that seemingly insignificant points in our lives like this in childhood development can be traumatic! and so we grow and we live our whole lives with these ideas in our heads and they aren't recognized because maybe they aren't "shocking enough" to be treated, maybe they aren't taken seriously. but they should be. they really really really need to be.

My ancestors, watching me dump an entire stick of cinnamon, two cloves, an allspice berry, and a generous grating of nutmeg into my tea, sweetened with white sugar and loaded with cream, while I sit in my clean warm house surrounded by books, 25+ outfits for different occasions, and 6 pairs of shoes, in a building heated so well I have the windows open in mid-autumn:

Our daughter prospers. We are proud of her. She has never labored in a field but knows riches we could not have imagined.

[sighinastorm]

I like this so much better than the idea that our ancestors would be embarrassed or ashamed of us for being “soft” or some crap like that.

My ancestors watching me use my stand mixer while living in a small apartment and attending university: Thou hast kneadeth bread in FOUR hail marys??? FOUR??? And thou ist poor as a churchmouse, yet liveth in a fine cottage with four pounds butter and fresh berries in thy larder!! And two featherbeds! And thou attendeth the King’s college, as a lord!!
