Some of this is just called 'monkey wrenching', it's the lost art of simply throwing a wrench in the gears of the system to bring it down.

ICE driving behind you? Forget where you're going and Just ... sit through a green light. Don't have to keep doing it, or get caught ... just PERFORM YOUR TASKS POORLY.

Drop a wrench and say 'oops'.

You can resist while saying sorry, and pretending to comply. it's still resistance.

Sometimes the best fic you’ve ever written isn’t on ao3. It’s in 50 frenetic discord messages sent over a fifteen minute span where you and your friend yes and each other into a perfect story that will never actually be written.

[reena-jenkins]

This is totally a thing! It's called a not!fic, and the conversational/informal format of storytelling was a staple of the early 2000s bandom era:

A similar vibe to the notfic, but for podfic fandom particularly, is the oral not!fic - a delightful experience of oral storytelling where you "yes, and" your way through a plot simply by talking it out loud:

And you can find a whole bunch on the AO3:

still caring about internet friends you lost touch with years ago is so embarrassing. yeah i had a deam we met up irl recently. the last time we spoke was maybe 7-8 years ago. i still wear the laces we randomly decided was a sign of our friendship. i dont know what any of your socials are or if youre even active on any. sometimes i see someones art resemble yours and i wonder for hours. do you still go by that name you chose? whenever i see it i wonder if its you. we couldve passed each other in this vastness a thousand times and not have a clue.

dont know if you guys have seen this article that anna meixner shared on instagram today.

members of the austrian women's hockey team have come forward about their unequal and misogynistic treatment by the austrian ice hockey federation. they are given very poor accomodations, they have to sleep in bunk beds and change in unheated rooms, and they are given the ill-fitting hand me downs of the men's equipment

they are not compensated fairly and their work and school is not taken into account. they requested a meeting to discuss the new compensation model and the federation did not care and even fired multiple staff members with whom the women's team had positive relations. the team has hired a lawyer to represent them because the situation has escalated so far. multiple of the team's best players will not be attending the upcoming event in slovakia and they are even considering skipping worlds if treatment does not improve. the team feels harassed and bullied by the federation!

this is just awful and completely unnecessary treatment by the federation. i am also so proud of the austrian women's team for advocating for themselves and for how successful they've been in spite of this treatment!

I love that Jules Verne asked the question "What kind of person could circumnavigate the world in 80 days?" and decided that the answer was not a groundbreaking explorer or genius inventor, but a guy who's really, really, really obsessed with train and boat schedules.

[oqmemphis]

my final paper for my CS degree was literally "how can we algorithmically optimise for the fastest possible circumnavigation route on commercial flights?", which incidentally required me to adopt a very good working knowledge of what flight options are available at what times (and also led to me accidentally memorising several hundred airport codes)

[oqmemphis]

incidentally the fastest possible route seems to be about 51 hours, if you're working from 2022 schedules like i was. if you use current schedules and are very optimistic about how quickly you can transfer between flights, you can maybe get it down to around 48 hours (also known as 25 millivernes).

The very best thing about tumblr is that you can make a post about a 154-year-old novel and get responses like this.

i truly think that this recent trend of “if you relate to a post about a different identity than your own you are ~derailing~ and taking over the conversation” is incredibly harmful.

i recently experienced some pretty severe transphobic abuse in my workplace (children’s home) that included having food thrown at me, being called slurs, being told i was a pervert because i am trans. one of the managers talked with me afterwards and shared that he had had a similar experience as an Asian man. this wasn’t him derailing my experience, or talking over me, or making things about himself. he was communicating “hey, i know how it feels and how much it sucks. you’re not alone.”

THAT is what solidarity IS. i don’t know what it’s like to be Asian, he doesnt know what it’s like to be trans, but we both had a similar experience and we were able to turn a horrible experience into an opportunity for bonding and comfort.

stop looking at people’s attempts as solidarity as an attack. and hey, you never know - you could find an opportunity to grow closer to other people.

previously unseen genders in human history

[setulose]

The one thing about gender is that frankly my ideal gender situation has very little to do with me and infinitely more to do with everyone else on the earth who cannot be fuuuuuuuuucking cool about anything ever

Apparently there's controversy over this youtuber I used to watch, Clawed Beauty, because I keep getting videos about it recommended to me on youtube. Unfortunately, I have no idea what she's done, because like 50% of what the videos talk about it her supporting TX2. And while I might ignore that for the sake of figuring out what else she might have done, it's just indicative of a total lack of (or misguided) research and fact checking
