hey fully vaxxed (american) people ur still gonna like. wear a mask right. on account of there’s no visual indicator that ur vaccinated. and on account of u wanna give service workers and nonvaxxed people peace of mind when ur interacting with them. and on account of vaccines aren’t 100 percent effective. and on account of so many antimaskers and antivaxxers are gonna lie and say they’re vaccinated so they can not wear one and then ur at an even higher risk. yknow. on account of vaccines aren’t 100 percent effective.

You wouldn’t find in books like these

Oooh a tag!!

I've been so invisible on tumblr lately but here's a bit I wrote last night!

Her father knew they would underestimate her, he was right, and she was ready.

Just a little something I did for a writing seminar, sadly not Les Mis related :///

I'm not tagging anyone considering every mutual I know here is already tagged lolll, but everyone is welcomed to play!!

@taniushka12 you tagged me in a thing and I immediately forgot oop!! but i just scrolled past it again so ty i’ll do it now

(Rules: Write the latest line from a WIP and tag as many people as there are words in the line.)

“Oh, don’t start,” Enjolras says.

not very exciting but! from my old guard au. only five words hm? maybe i can actually tag that number of people for once lol

@backslashdelta @mostgeckcellent @ducktoothcollection @pumpkinspice-prouvaire and @p-trichor IF you wanna do it. if not that’s cool :>

IT'S POSTING TIME!

Congratulations, everyone! This marks the beginning of the posting period, running from today (May 10th) through midnight EDT on Saturday (May 15th). Below are instructions for authors and artists to post!

Authors:

The bang's collection is on ao3 here. You must post your work there in order for it to be included in the round-up at the end of the week. Works must be:

At least 5,000 words

Posted all at once (even if it's multiple chapters)

Tagged appropriately—minimum of ten tags, and all potentially triggering themes must be tagged. No works necessitating the Underage or Rape/Non-Con tags may be posted.

Prefaced by a summary that accurately states the nature and content of the work. Summaries will be included in the bang round-up.

Posted and publicly available attached to your Archive of our Own handle for at least one year, with links or embeds of accompanying art also kept attached for at least one year.

Attributed to both yourself and your artist in either the Beginning Notes or the End Notes; if you and your artist choose to post your works separately, instead of embedding the artwork in the Archive post, you must include a link to their art as well as their handles.

Artists:

You are not required to post your work directly to the bang's collection. You are free to post on any site you wish—Twitter, Tumblr, DeviantArt, or other—as long as at least one link is sent to the bang moderators. You may also work with your author to embed your artwork directly in their work, in addition to posting it individually if you so choose (you must post individually, while embedding is optional). Works must be:

At least two separate pieces (or more!)

Posted publicly for at least one year on the site of your choosing, with an active/live link that the bang blog will use in the end-of-event roundup.

Linked to the companion written work in your public post with an attribution to yourself and to your author.

Solo Creators:

Feel free to post to the Archive collection and to the Tumblr tag! You'll be included in the round-up as long as you've followed the rest of the bang rules.

The goal is to have fun and appreciate what we've all created! You and your partner may post any time between now and May 15th, but you should try to post "together" so no art is left wordless or words are left artless.

Any work you post to Tumblr should be tagged with #take my hand exR 2021, the bang's official tag for this year. This includes links to fics, artwork, or anything else you created that falls under the bang's umbrella!

The bang moderators will collect all fics posted to the collection and their companion art and create a bang round-up after the posting period, so don't be late!

Have more questions? Send us an ask!

COVID is slowly becoming a "third world" disease. While first world countries are hoarding vaccines, having doses for populations many times their size, third world countries can't get any because pharma companies want to sell to the first world countries first. Even then, first world countries will receive them first. While rich countries recover from COVID, they will forget about the pandemic while many other countries live the absolute worst moment of the pandemic without being able to vaccinate their population.

can 佢 be used as a gender-neutral pronoun in mandarin too? i thought it could be but i just wanted to make sure

It technically can be, but Mandarin doesn’t use 佢 like Cantonese, Hakka, and various other dialects do so it kinda feels weird to me? I mean as a Cantonese person, I’ve had to deal with my dialect and its culture being suppressed for the sake of standard Mandarin conformity so I don’t feel 100% okay with Mandarin just taking that from Cantonese. 

Also 佢 is pronounced qú in Mandarin, in stark contrast to every other pronoun in Mandarin being pronounced tā so it wouldn’t work as well for a subtle gender neutral pronoun in Mandarin.
