AO3 IS IN TROUBLE IF CALIFORNIAN AGE VERIFICATION LAW PASSES

An upcoming Age verification bill centered in California will be voted on Monday-- And as always,instead of actually protecting kids, it will lead to more online censorship and privacy risks, as it will force websites hosting to verify their users age by sending their ID, your browser history would be linked to it. if you live California, call your reps and tell them to oppose the bill AB3080 as it highly unconstitutional.

They also deem LGBT content harmful to minors, as well as mentions of weapons and tobacco, putting them on the same level as NSFW content.

Since AO3 headquarters reside in California, much like Reddit, Twitter,Discord and Youtube (and others) who knows how bad the effects would be. Instead of just effecting Californians (even then its concerning.) the effects would be US or even worldwide. VPNs wont help.

Please take actions here (a script is included to help you) https://www.defendonlineprivacy.com/ca/action.php

Find your rep here https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/

You can also send faxes using this https://faxzero.com/

If you don't live in California, please talk about this,tag your friends and urge others to take actions, make posts and tweets using the hashtags AB3080 and NoOnAB3080

Voting has been delaying until Monday May 13th 2024

It’s so funny to imagine Wicked from the perspective of one of the normal students at Shiz. There’s this girl and she’s weird and an overachieving nerd and no one likes her, but then the popular girl becomes best friends with her overnight so you guess she’s chill now. They might be sleeping together but no one’s really sure. They’re also low key dating the same guy but you’re not clear on if it’s a polycule situation or a love triangle. Whatever. You’re just trying to study for finals. Your history teacher gets arrested and no explains why. You just hope this won’t effect your grade in the class. The weird nerdy girl gets a letter from the president inviting her to come see him. Wow, that’s exciting. She and her maybe-girlfriend go off to the capitol and you go back to homework and dorm room parties. One day later one of your professors is on the national radio saying that the weird nerdy girl, who used to be her favorite student, is now a terrorist, has stolen the nuclear codes, and is on the run from the government. You are still expected to show up to class tomorrow.

For those who don’t know, Elon Musk has recently been directing his assholery towards Wikipedia — calling them ‘Wokepedia’ due to the amount they spend on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and calling for people to stop giving them money “until they restore balance to their editing authority” —, now is a great time to consider donating to Wikipedia!

Esmeralda: Disney’s Forgotten Representation

Oh, boy. Where to begin with this one. I adore The Hunchback of Notre Dame. In fact, it is arguably my favorite story of all time, from Victor Hugo’s original novel to the stunning musical to the Disney animated film. It is a deliciously dark and complex look into the nature of humanity filled to the brim with emotion and power.

And it also features one of my favorite female characters, Esmeralda— an incredibly unique and important heroine who I adore with all my heart.

If you hadn’t noticed, Disney is very focused on representation, and taking stories from a variety of cultures. Though many often campaign that we need more diversity (which is an entire other meta for another day), I can’t help but notice that, while showcasing Moana and Tiana and Mulan, many fail to observe the diversity Disney does have. Lilo, Kida, and, yes, Esmeralda.

Esmeralda. A Romani woman.

Now, you may be wondering why people forget to give Disney credit for this diversity which they do have. The answer, in my experience, is simple. ESMERALDA DOES NOT FIT INTO ONE OF THE FOUR LARGE RACIAL GROUPS: White, black, latino, and asian.

These are the five main racial groups or categories people’s minds tend to stay in when thinking about representation, because they are the largest. However, in doing this, so many smaller racial and arch of groups are overlooked.

Indigenous, aboriginal, pasifika, and yes, roma.

Ah. So that’s why Esmeralda is so often forgotten. She’s not back representation like Tiana, or asian like Mulan. She represents a much smaller, Indo- European nomadic race.

This representation, however, is just as important. Roma people have been persecuted throughout history. THEY WERE VICTIMS OF THE HOLOCAUST AND ROUNDED UP INTO SPECIAL CAMP SECTORS, WHERE THEY WORE BLACK OR BROWN TRIANGULAR PATCHES TO IDENTIFY THEM AS ROMA. This epidemic occurred alongside/ interconnected to the Holocaust, and is known as the Romani Genocide.

And nobody ever talks about this, because they are not one of the major racial groups. Just as Romani people are rarely seen as characters in television or film. In fact, I think the only other time I’ve seen a Romani woman on screen is Madame Simza in the second Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes film.

In Esmeralda, Disney is not recognized for putting one of the few Romani women to ever be on screen. Not only that— a Romani woman depicted as beautiful, kind, brave, noble, and a heroine. The movies shows this Romani woman as beautiful, but also allows her to refuse to be specialized buitrera outside of her desire. She is witty, good hearted, capable, talented, and a fully fledged complex woman.

So let’s celebrate Esmeralda. Let’s celebrate this special representation which is rarely ever seen. Let’s call for more Roma stories.

Because I am tired of the world being silent on a character as lovely and important as Esmeralda.

This week, I read a fic that was around 20 years old, which had originally been posted on the author's personal website and which she added to AO3 a few years ago. She listed her email address with the fic, so after I finished reading, I sent her an email saying how much I enjoyed the story, how much I appreciated the work and effort she obviously put into it, and thanked her for uploading it to AO3. She responded the next day and thanked me for my message, then said she had a few more stories in the same series that she hadn't gotten around to uploading. I checked this morning--she added a 35,000 word novella and thanked me in the summary.

👏 comment 👏 on 👏 old 👏 fics 👏

The justice league sees Batman periodically updating a database of his, at the oddest of times, and naturally they think it's got something to do with his contingency plans or a dataset about the Gotham rogues, but in reality it's just him keeping record of his many children's changing tastes

Superman: Woah, he's writing down with such concentration, wonder what could be in there, maybe a new villain in Gotham?

Bruce, writing: "Dick has refused his favourite Pb&J five mornings in a row. Delete from favourites. Ask for new favourite food."

"Jason didn't seem as Eager to read the new book by his favourite author, put it in neutral category."

"Tim chose a green shirt instead of a red one at the mall today. More research needed."

"Cass listened to arctic monkeys on repeat this week. Update to favourites."

"Duke expressed an interest in slam poetry and called band practice lame. Put poetry in favourites and band in neutral."

"Damian watched Bluey for a total of 50 hours this week. Update to favourites."
