Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor

Resisting the urge to Um Actually this dragon novel because it has the dragon eggs be like three or four feet wide but there is simply a limit to how large hard-shelled terrestrial eggs can be. No matter how large the animal is, the embryo needs oxygen, and oxygen needs surface area. The larger an object is, the lower its surface area relative to volume, and the less oxygen the embryo can receive. We think of large animals as having porportionately large young because mammalian pregnancy has the unique benefit of allowing for the size of the young to scale with the adult because their oxygen is provided directly through the placenta, and almost all the megafauna remaining on Earth are mammals. But this is not the case for species which lay eggs! For fuck's sake even the sauropods hatched out of eggs barely larger than basketballs! Your hatchling dragon would be impressively enormous if it were the size of a house cat. Stop trying to make me believe that this (ROUND!) dragon egg somehow supplied enough oxygen to develop an infant the size of a large dog or even bigger. If it were possible the dinosaurs woulda been doing it!!!!
I love you /lh. Experts going off on their particular fascinating cool topics and adding unexpected context to things we take for granted is like my favorite thing this was delightful. Talk to me more about eggs and geometry and biology all you want :D
Some boys just need to be bathed tenderly in a pool with flower petals by a host of handsome attendants, massaged with perfumes and fragrant oils until they’re limp with pleasure, given banquets of rare delights, etc.
Hey, quick PSA for young or otherwise inexperienced fic writers:
"*****smut marked with asterisks so you can skip!*****""
Don't. Don't do this.
You let readers know what your fic contains through proper tagging and rating. Content warning notes at the top of the chatter are also great. You can even summarize key "this is the plot relevant stuff you missed of you're skipping this chapter" notes at the bottom too! This is a much smoother reading experience.
This is HELL on screen readers which is a disability access issue. Screen readers will read out every single asterisk you put, which I have seen done as entire page breaks. It's an awful reading experience. Please just don't.
Readers do not need their hands held through the reading experience. If they're enjoying the fic but don't care for smut, they can just skim until it gets interesting again. If they REALLY don't like smut, you warned them. There's a back button. You don't have to do a special song and dance isolating out the specific parts you think might be "icky". (If you think those bits are icky and don't like writing them, consider just don't! Fanfic is a hobby we do for fun and you don't have to write anything you don't find enjoyable. There's plenty of readers for gen fic and smut free ship fic).
If someone reads something they don't like then gets mad at you, block em. They need to be responsible for their own choices. It's not your job to please everyone. Your job as a fic writer of his to tell an entertaining and engaging story. (The reverse is true for a reader that demands smut or says it would "improve" the fic but that's not the story you're trying to tell. Block button is your friend!)
Please, please don't try to span the entire page with whatever symbol you're using for your scene breaks. It takes an eternity for screen years to get through, and typically has me noping out of even the most interesting stores.
Instead, use just three (or fewer) marks. Three is standard, and does the job without making your story unreadable.
If you are on AO3, use the html tag <hr> to separate scenes. Most (all?) screenreaders will recognize this as a separator and handle it however they are programmed to. Use it like this:
Here is a scene! Some stuff happened in it. Wasn't it exciting?
<hr>
The very next day, another scene happened. Oh boy, it's just one thing after another.
"If we have to kiss to get points— I'll do it. I'll kiss a man to win MCC coin. Scott knows this. Scott knows this about me, I'll kiss a man to win MCC. I'll do it. ANYWAYS... "
I think this is the test of a true gamer we should put all streamers through actually, @dust-from-space. Will you kiss your bro to win MCC? I think this is an interesting question with an interesting answer that would enrich the space.
as someone with experience in the discord console, unfortunately they made it a little trickier than just ctrl + shift + i about four years ago, i believe.
specifically what you're going to want to do is find settings.json in %appdata%/discord or the mac equivalent which is found with finder > go > go to folder. there is a setting there titled "DANGEROUS_ENABLE_DEVTOOLS_ONLY_ENABLE_IF_YOU_KNOW_WHAT_YOURE_DOING": and if it is not, copy and paste "DANGEROUS_ENABLE_DEVTOOLS_ONLY_ENABLE_IF_YOU_KNOW_WHAT_YOURE_DOING": true into the .json and then, only then you can do crtl + shift + i or command + option + i on mac.
Discord is announcing enhanced teen safety features rolling out globally that reinforce its long-standing commitment to creating a safer and
Oh hey lets talk about this. Namely, lets talk about good ways to complain about this cause it sucks!
1: bother them and tag them on their official socials! Twitter sadly is gonna be one of the more effective sites for this but where ever you want, tag em and shame them!
2: Discord doesnt care that this will affect the queer community or adult spaces. Don't use it as your primary argument against them. Talk more about potential lawsuits, losing their user base, canceling your nitro if you have one, things that effect them as a business and not a community. Because they dont care about community, they care about money.
3: complain through official channels, flood their support desk with comments about how this change makes you want to leave discord and demand escalation if applicable. Ive worked on the support end of websites before and I can tell you those support tickets will go first to the lowest people on the ladder whos jobs are to make you feel heard so you'll go away without fixing any real problems (no shade to those people btw. They are just doing a job that sucks) Demand tickets be escalated, dont accept stock answers, be a karen about it but just like, without acting like the level 1 tech support/qa that you are dealing with is somehow in a position to make real change. "I am not mad at you I am mad at the situation" is a fantastic line to bring up with the lower level peeps, because they are just people like you working for a system that is designed to have them take the brunt of people's anger even though they cannot fix it and are not responsible for it. Always escalate when you can if you need to complain.
4: get a telegram in case
5: remember that this idea sucks and won't protect people so its likely to be reversed at some point or changed. It's also possible the ai they are gonna put in place to run this can be easily tricked without you giving personal data away. Remain calm and skirt the system if possible. The more people exploiting the system is more proof that its a garbage concept that sucks. If you just leave outright then the people remaining are going to be people who follow the rules or bad actors with bad intentions.
6: once again, remain calm. This is a business who had mild pressure put on it and immediately folded because it was the path of least resistance. Playing to their ethical side is stupid because they are a corporation, not a person. Instead, make that least resistant path more annoying and grating for them so they have incentive to not want to take it. Deleting your discord and switching to a new app is you removing a thorn in their side, thus making it easier for them to stick with what they are doing. Remain calm and be annoying.
