I notice alot of my followers on here skipping these posts just to mess with my lgbt ones, suspiciously the white popular ones.
Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.
Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.
Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.
I’d like to add this photo I took last night in Victoria of the statue of Captain Cook. Though I myself am not indigenous, I 100% agree that these murderers, kidnappers and rapists shouldn’t have huge statues and plaques that decorate them and say how “great” they were.
Here’s another photo of the legislative assembly from yesterday. Later on there were more items, candles and signs at the memorial, as well as a big poster with 1505 painted on it but I didn’t get a picture
People need to see this. Not just quickly glance at the photos and keep on scrolling. They need to see this.
I had seen the first picture of the church, but not the second.
I went to a “Cancel Canada Day” event and burst into tears - not because I was surprised to learn of the unmarked graves (survivors told us they were there. Our government pushed it aside, and we let them), but because seeing all the people gathered in mourning drove it home: They. Were. Children.
This is my country’s legacy - and it’s not history. The last schools closed during my lifetime. My Father went to school with students who lived at the local residential school, after it was changed to a boarding house (read: holding centre) for indigenous youth who went to local schools.
They were all children, injured, abused, and killed in my country’s attempt to erase them. I want the world to see this and hold the state accountable to *active* reconciliation> I mean we could at least truly adopt UNDRIP in action instead of words for god’s sake.
here you can read an article about a survivor of the church and some of the things he experienced to help put into perspective how awful and just how recent it was
hi! I was wondering if you could clarify something for me…
pro shippers are people who support people writing about and/or write about “taboo” topics such as incest, pedophila, non-con, etc, correct?
or is it a different term?
and are you still considered a pro shipper if you support people writing about whatever they want, but you still think some topics are wrong and disgusting and you don’t want people who write about those things interacting with you?
sorry, I’m just a bit confused on the specifics of it all lol
I have answered this question here
❝ proship / proshippers = people who believe anyone can enjoy/consume fiction however they want, even if it’s about topics that are taboo, even if it’s topics they are uncomfortable with (they can just not consume, mute, block, filter out things about said topics), as long as no one in real life gets hurt (the point of fiction is that no one in real life gets hurt, so it’s already self-explanatory), so they are against harassment and censorship. ❞
and here
❝ people who are profic/proship can absolutely have things they are uncomfortable with—they don't just "like every single taboo thing" which is a common misunderstanding—but they choose to curate their own internet experience by ignoring/blocking/muting what they don't want to see and let people do whatever they want, as long as no one in real life is being harmed, instead of harassing real people over fiction. ❞
you can consider yourself proship and be disgusted by any taboo thing, as long as you let others do what they want (when they are not harming anyone in real life) and as long as you don't harass anybody over fiction.
Don't like terrible things = puritans? At least I don’t support incest,pedophilia,etc, as you do. Hang yourself, sick bastard.
babe, I don’t even like incest or anything that involves characters who are minors being portrayed in sexual nature. it makes me extremely uncomfortable and if I ever come across it when it is not properly tagged (which is extremely rare), I either block, mute or scroll past it like it burns.
that said, I also understand censorship is a fascist tool and I also understand fiction is not reality. no real person or animal is harmed.
I also understand a lot of victims and survivors — victims and survivors whom you told to hang themselves — use dark fiction to help them heal from their trauma.
I also don’t tell others to harm themselves, especially over fiction.
the fact you hide behind anon like a coward means you know you are in the wrong and are too ashamed to show your face.
if you think this message makes “antis” look like “good people” instead of unhinged bullies who suicide bait others over fiction while pretending to be morally superior, you’re both wrong and stupid.
but instead of stooping to your level and telling you to harm yourself, I genuinely do hope you get the help you need and understand that fiction is not reality, and under no circumstances will it ever be okay to tell anyone to harm themselves — especially when you do so while hiding behind anon, especially when it’s over something as harmless as fiction and fantasies.
do better.
and to my fellow writers, write whatever you want and be unapologetic about it. I may not like the thing you write, but I will always defend its rights to exist and I will always condemn every bully who harasses real people over fiction.
I sincerely hope that someone will adopt my campaign and keep sharing it consistently… 🤍
Maybe your share could be the reason my life is saved. 🙏
Today, I am not asking for luxury or anything beyond basic needs…
I am asking for a chance to walk again. 🦿
After losing my leg, even the simplest movement in my life has become a daily battle with pain and exhaustion. 💔
My dream is to get a prosthetic limb…
Not just a piece to replace what I lost,
but a hope I can stand on once again,
and feel like a normal human being like anyone else. 🌿
Every day I live with the feeling of helplessness.
Every day I look at the ground in front of me and wish I could walk on it without fear, without pain, without looks of pity. 😔
I am ready to provide all medical reports to prove my condition,
and I am willing to open the camera and document everything with full transparency and honesty. 📄📹
I have nothing to lose… except a simple dream:
to get a prosthetic limb and live with dignity again. 🤲
Your support is not just help…
it is literally a step that would help me stand on my feet again. 🧡

Are you a university student trying to learn under normal circumstances and still finding it difficult? Let me tell you about myself. I'm Mahmoud from Gaza, a computer systems engineer with only two semesters left to graduate. I'm about to get my degree. Famine is ravaging us, but that's not the main obstacle. It's the fees. To enter this semester's exams, I need to secure the required fees, which are about $800. These are the last two semesters, and I'll be done with university. I'm worried and afraid of falling behind an additional year. I must get this amount to finish this semester!
Dear student, to be able to access Moodle, you must pay 20% of the tuition fees for the registered hours for the second semester 2024/2025 as a minimum through payment methods: bank transfer, PayPal, or mobile Pay. Click here for payment methods. After payment, the notification must be delivered to Professor Raafat Muammar via WhatsApp.
Here is the exam schedule, the first exam starts on August 9th and this amount must be collected before this period to pay to the university and enter the exam!
Give me a chance to complete my education, donate what you can for me so that I can become an engineer and help my family and my country
Mahmoud needs $2000 to finally recieve his degree! If you've been following Mahmoud at all, you'll know he is deeply passionate about education. After he worked so hard to finish his studies while surviving a genocide AND helping other students, Mahmoud getting his degree is the LEAST we can do for him. Please remember that even small donations add up if we do our part collectively.
While I wake up daily and go to support 25 students from Gaza and help them to provide a safe environment for them to complete their education, today I stand struggling to get $500 in order to obtain my bachelor's degree certificate and apply for a scholarship to study for a master's degree! I stand alone, helping students complete their education and I can't find anyone to help me! I make an effort to make others happy, hoping that one of you will make an effort to make me happy!
‼️Helping me means helping 5 members of my family..‼️
🥶We're freezing🥶
Hello, I'm Wasim from Gaza, in Al-Mawasi specifically... My family and I were displaced from Rafah after hardship, bombing, displacement, and hunger.😭😔
Now we have been away from our city and our beautiful home for 9 months. We have lost our house that my father built stone by stone and he worked 24/7 to build this house. But the occupation destroyed it, and no house remained in my beautiful city remained intact.😭💔💔
We are now living in a tent or semi-tent, which does not protect us from the cold of winter or the rain. Our lives are very difficult.😔😭
Thanks to your donations, we have been able to buy food and flour, and now I am asking you for help to buy a tent that will protect us from the cold of winter. We do not know what it means to sleep because of the extreme cold.🥶
This is our tent made of fabric and some nylon, not closed on one side. We are freezing from the cold. Help us to buy a new tent. You are our last hope.😭🥶🥶🙏
I also want to ask for help for my mother, who is the most precious thing in my life. Without her, I am nothing...
She has a back cartilage disease and is in great pain. She needs physical therapy, medicine, and vitamins, and I am unable to provide them. Help my mother receive treatment.🙏🙏😭

AO3 has recently seen a rise in guest spambot comments making false accusations about work creators or other users. For example, they may claim that a particular user is discriminating against minorities, trying to hide the fact that they use AI, or are at risk of having their works stolen or deleted.
These comments often copy existing AO3 usernames in order to make their accusations seem more legitimate. They may also try to lure people onto other platforms (similar to the art commission scam), or use fake links that actually lead to pornographic images.
As always, we recommend that you do not click on any suspicious links or give your contact information to scammers. Instead, simply mark the comments as spam or report them so that the Policy & Abuse committee can remove comments left by these spambots.
Learn how to recognize them and what to do below the cut!
How to recognize this kind of spam:
The comments come from guests, not logged-in users.
The comments may start with praise for you and your writing, trying to lull you into a false sense of security. Or they may claim that you are a bad writer, trying to make you too upset to realize that the comments are fake.
The comments may accuse you or another user of promoting discriminatory beliefs, deceiving fans, or similar behaviors that might cause other people to shun or harass the accused individual. They may claim that they checked social media to find that the accused user is "brazenly sharing hateful content" or "bragging about using AI".
The comments are often pleading or angry, asking you to "stop lying to your readers", "don't remove the AI prompts from your work", or suggesting that you "consider adding more diverse characters" to "repair the trust you've lost with your audience".
So far, these comments have all been from guests. Our advice is to flag them as spam to better filter them out.
To help train our automated spam-checker to block similar guest comments in the future:
If the comment is on your own work:
Go directly to the comment on your work, either by clicking on the link in your email or in your AO3 inbox.
Click on the "Spam" button to mark the guest comment as spam and remove it from your work.
Note: The "Spam" button only appears when viewing a guest comment directly on your work. This is because the AO3 comment inbox is merely a copy of the work's comments – deleting a comment from your AO3 inbox does not delete the comment from the work itself.
If you see comments like these on someone else's work:
Feel free to let the creator know the comment is from a bot, and that they should mark it as spam.
You can also report the comments as botspam via the Policy Questions & Abuse Reports form linked at the bottom of every page on AO3.
If you are reporting multiple guest comments, please submit only one report, and include all comment links in your report description. (You can get the direct link to any comment by clicking the "Thread" button on the comment, and then copying the URL of that page.)
As of December 2025, bots have also left guest comments harassing users by:
threatening to report you/your fic to the authorities or your employers
alleging security concerns like your email being compromised or spyware on your computer
claiming that they know your address and are going to visit you at your house
saying that you will die alone and unemployed over the holidays
What these bots claim is not true. These accusations do not mean your work will be deleted or that your accounts are insecure. We recommend that you mark these comments as spam following the instructions in our previous post.
These examples also do not represent the full range of harassment comments that you may receive. We will continue to try and keep you updated about trends; however, please note that the exact wording the bots use will continue to evolve.
If you're not sure if something is a spambot comment, you're welcome to contact Policy & Abuse for assistance. Refer to the original post for more information!
As of January 2026, bots impersonating legitimate users have increasingly left guest comments harassing other users by:
claiming that they know where you live
alleging to have seen you in person
threatening to meet you face-to-face
saying that they posted your personal information (name, address, etc) online
What these bots claim is not true. These comments are likely intended to alarm you into replying.We recommend that you mark these comments as spam following the instructions in our previous post.

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)
✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈
Israel is gradually and rapidly advancing the yellow line from all sides of the Gaza Strip towards the center, reducing the area of the Gaza Strip to less than half its current size, and Israeli government officials are planning to build a settlements in the northern Gaza Strip.
Since the so-called ceasefire, Israel has established over 48 military sites in Gaza City on civilian homes, and this continues to this day. Israel has not ceased its war or occupation; it continues its killing and massacres, prevents the entry of medical supplies and equipment, and tightens its grip on the people of Gaza. Worse still, I have been unable to have my surgery for two years now. Shrapnel is still lodged in my body, and my pain is relentless. I desperately need your help to travel and receive treatment as soon as possible. Please donate to help me raise the funds necessary for my travel and surgery.
The war hasn't stopped for two years. When a sham ceasefire was reached, thousands of people were killed, and they continue to die every day. The wounded urgently need treatment, and the goods, supplies, and aid that are allowed in are sold at exorbitant prices. Israel hasn't stopped the war. We are still suffering.
Please help us. I am still injured and haven't received my treatment and surgery for two years now. I desperately need your help to be able to travel and have my surgery. Please donate.
My friends, I've been in the hospital for three days now. I'm very sick and exhausted. I'm suffering from severe anemia and have fainted twice. (I desperately need your help to raise the funds to buy my medications and medical supplies because our healthcare system is practically nonexistent). Please help me so I can buy my medications and cover the hospital costs. Please donate.
