Readers, make sure you have all your favourite Ao3 fics downloaded.

Writers, make sure you have copies of all the fics you have posted on Ao3.

I don���t want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I'm a bit worried about it 😅

Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.

[entropy-mephit]

saying ao3 needs to censor certain content is like saying a museum can't have still life art that includes strawberries because you don't like them.

these are not real strawberries. you do not have to, and in fact cannot, eat them. no one with a strawberry allergy will be harmed by looking at them. no migrant workers were exploited in the picking of these strawberries. there were no questionable farming practices or negative environmental impacts from growing or transporting them.

because - and i cannot stress this enough - they are not real strawberries.

if you don't like strawberries, you don't have to look at the paintings. in fact, you can get a map of the museum that lists what works are in what rooms and just. not go in there. if you see one by mistake, you can look away. just keep walking. there's plenty of other stuff to see.

yes, real strawberries can cause real quantifiable harm to real people.

but again. these are not real strawberries.

you may have whatever feelings you like about strawberries, and so can i. you can draw and write about whatever fruit floats your boat, and so can i, even if that happens to be strawberries. and we can hang our art side by side in the same gallery, provided you understand that my strawberries are not about you (and your kumquats are, shocker, not about me) and that - and this is true - neither are real.

and when the fascists break down the doors and grab all the strawberry paintings and heap them in the street and set them on fire, please know that they are coming for your kumquats next.

so if you want a place where you can show off your beautiful kumquat art safely, you're gonna have to tolerate having some strawberries in the next room.

and that's okay. because the strawberries aren't real.

Today I got an ad on YouTube that said:

“I think it’s safe to say that no one has suffered more in the last hundred years than the Palestinian people.”

Read that again.

“I think it’s safe to say that no one has suffered more in the last hundred years than the Palestinian people.”

100 years ago was 1924. A whole lot of suffering has happened in the past hundred years and while of course Palestinians have suffered much since 1948 (which was 76 years ago) it is absolutely historically inaccurate to say that they have suffered the most.

For a brief recap, in the last 100 years (including ongoing events)…

WW2, (~60+ million civilian deaths) specifically the Holocaust (~12 million deaths) as well as the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (~200,000+ deaths total)

The Korean War (2.5 million deaths total)

The Vietnam War (1.3 million deaths total)

6-9 million people died due to Stalin's policies in the USSR

Yugoslav Wars (~150,000 deaths total)

Conflict in Sudan (2.5 million deaths total)

Russia's Invasion of Ukraine (~100,000 deaths in Ukraine)

Syrian Civil War (300,000+ civilian deaths)

Cambodian Genocide (~2 million deaths)

Conflict in DRC (~6 million deaths)

Rwandan Genocide (~800,000 deaths)

Iraq War (~150,000 deaths total)

Afghanistan War (~170,000+ deaths total)

To say that Palestinians have not suffered would be wrong. To say that Palestinians have suffered immensely this year would be correct. But your activism for Palestinians should not ignore history or erase the sufferings of many others that have occurred in the past 100 years.

If anyone would like the sources for any of these numbers I'm happy to provide, or if anyone would like to point out an event I missed.

note below the cut

*note - civilian refers to death counts that are only civilians, ~ refers to death counts that are in-exact, deaths total refers to death counts that include combatants

Penetration is a gender-neutral act. Topping is gender-neutral. Bottoming is gender-neutral. You are not more or less of a man or a woman depending on how you fuck. You are not “fake trans” for having sex a certain way. You are not any less masculine for bottoming or any less feminine for topping.

They should make an actual "banned books" store that only sells classified government documents

Yet another comic about leaving the Mormon church that can be applied to a variety of things. I also plan to include some version of this in a graphic novel I’m making.

I'd say, since he trained plenty of times, he doesn't notice by himself, because not a threat, but once NMGY points it out with amusement he pays attention and actually notices. Bit he still doesn't confront KDJ about it.

Idk what's funnier in a situation where Kim Dokja is watching a shirtless Yoo Joonghyuk train: Yoo Joonghyuk being completely oblivious to the ogling (because KDJ is not a threat so it doesn't ping his senses), or that Yoo Joonghyuk is completely aware of the ogling by KDJ.

Here's a thought.

So I was seeing a cardiologist earlier this week. And she asked about what kind of exercise I was getting and helpfully reminded me that the recommendation is to be getting 150 minutes per week of vigorous exercise, i.e., that "you can't hold a normal conversation."

But... "the ability to hold a normal conversation," for me, is different than it is for most people. It requires more concentration. It requires more physical effort. Doing some even mild-to-moderate exercise might technically leave me the breath to hold a conversation, but not the cognitive bandwidth or coordination.

Multiply this, obviously, for autistic people who have worse motor problems.

Not to even mention, I'm just so rarely exercising vigorously with another person that I barely even have a benchmark for this. Like, once in a blue moon, I'm going on a hike with a friend. But I don't have gym buddies. I don't have local friends whose schedules line up with mine to the extent we'd be able to be getting exercise together.

Do autistic people need to be communicated to differently about exercise?
