(I should not have to say this but this post doesn’t include normal wattpad users who are tired of censorship and just want a platform that gives people the freedom to create whatever they want. if you’re migrating from wattpad and if you don’t harass people for the fictional things they write on ao3, you are more than welcome here)
surely this cannot be too hard a concept for people to grasp
Star kittens! Arts from previous years! ^o^ Goodies LINK!
not to sound like the friend that's too woke but why does this police station toyset for a 5yr old need a weapons safe full of tiny toy-sized automatic rifles. just asking.
Reminds me of this one:
no other social media platform has lore quite like tumblr’s
the gods that haunt this place are unlike any others
I just saw a tiktok comment saying that tumblr right now is like a place recovered from being irradiated
Sign outside Tumblr: “This place is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. Nothing valued is here. …”

I like your shoelaces
Thanks, I pulled them out of a stump filled with fae water and now it wards off the President

A reminder that Julie CHEN only “found” Jesus after her sexual predator of a husband was outed for harassing women.
Imagine. You only nominated women, wanting to keep men from leaving. Tried to make a bros alliance happen. Super bro'd it up. And a man goes out on your HOH. And its YOUR bro.
Transphobia is being signed into law in the UK. Let's fight it together.
I am begging the UK trans community and its allies to attend the rescheduled Mass Lobby at Parliament, now on Wed Sept 9th, 1pm-5pm, organised by Trans Solidarity Alliance.
The law around trans equality is fundamentally broken. Government inaction is hanging trans people and organisations out to dry - with a con
The new EHRC Code of Practice pushes trans people out of toilets, hospital wards, and community spaces. It normalises gender policing based on appearance and stereotypes. It became statutory guidance in the UK on August 5th, 2026.
Trans people are now legally their assigned gender at birth and must join gendered spaces accordingly, but if they are perceived as their lived gender, they can also be ejected from those spaces. The guidance says: either break the law, or don’t pass too well.
A mass lobby is where you invite your MP to discuss your concerns with you in-person. Our demands have changed. Ask your MP to:
Write to Ministers and Prime Minister Andy Burnham to say they are profoundly concerned by the rolling back of trans rights, and that they believe that it is time for Parliament to legislate to protect equality for trans people.
Ask parliamentary questions focused on protecting trans people’s rights and defending trans people’s abilities to live safe and dignified lives.
Speak up both inside and outside Parliament in defence of trans people’s rights.
Meet regularly with trans constituents to understand their lived realities.
Your MP does not have to be an ally, they do not have to respond to your email for you to show up and greencard them (details below the cut.) What matters is that as many people as possible show up.
I cannot stress this enough: Showing up in person matters. It is much more effective than petitions, emails, and letters.
We have already had some wins because we took action. The 2026 EHRC guidance has already rolled back its most harmful elements because of mass campaigning by individuals like us, and groups like The Good Law Project. This summer, 166 MPs signed the Early Day Motion 240 to reject the EHRC Code of Practice, because of our campaigning. That is 1 in 4 MPs.
It is a horrible, stressful time, and I am so sorry if you're trans and live in the UK. But I was at last year's mass lobby and the line for greencarding alone stretched around the back gates. It was a record breaking mass lobby and made us impossible to ignore. Let's do even better this time. Details under the cut:
If you haven't signed up to the Mass Lobby and emailed your MP yet, please do it soon so they have time to respond!
Even if you receive no response, show up at Parliament on 9th September 2026, 1PM anyways to greencard your MP (request same-day meeting). Trans and cis allies alike, please come!
Remember that there is a travel bursary provided by TSA if finances are preventing you from attending!
Just so we’re clear about AO3 ratings
Mature = mature topics and depictions
Explicit = porn
Stop labeling your porn as “mature.” It goes under “explicit.”
No?? This is just wrong, explicit doesn’t mean 'just porn', and smut can absolutely still be featured in mature content. In fact it’s said in the TOS that the difference between “Mature” and “Explicit” is left entirely up to the creators judgment so there is no such thing as mis-tagging the ratings when both require the user to accept the adult content warning and agree to access adult content.
Here is the official statement from ao3:
The creator's discretion to choose between "Mature" and "Explicit" is absolute: we will not mediate any disputes about those decisions. Instead, we encourage creators to consider community norms, whether fandom-specific or more general (such as how you'd expect a video game or movie with similar content to be rated), when selecting a rating.
That being said this is what it's mostly commonly defined as:
Mature -> Content featuring adult themes, such as sex or violence, that are not portrayed in graphic or explicit detail.
Though like stated previously what is explicit or not is entirely up to the author. That's what it means when they say it cant be mis-tagged since its up to what the creator personally defines as graphic or not.
Explicit -> Content featuring explicit adult themes, including graphic sexual content, pornography, or graphic depictions of violence. Not necessarily smut!! So it waters down the meaning when someone say explicit=porn.
