You ever been in a state where you physically have no energy, but you're bored and socially understimulated so you kind of wish you could just invite people to come over like this:

Love of FUCK. Site word-stream.com has been scraping AO3 and making audio books of people's work.

They are charging people for access

These are just mine. I recommend authors search for their work and email a removal request to support@word-streams.com

More info in the reddit post below. Please signal boost so fic authors know!

does anyone know wtf word-stream.com is or where to send them a takedown request? i just found a bunch of fics, including my own, hosted on this AI slop site—apparently offering what I assume are AI-generated audiobook versions & (equally AI-generated) ratings and reviews. i can’t take a closer look without signing up, which, no thank you, but it looks like they’re hosting the full fics and are peddling a paid subscription for the trouble of hosting them. can someone more knowledgeable than me explain what our options are in this situation?

I’ve got my tumblr inbox turned off so I really have to commend the person who actually emailed me to let me know they don’t like the things I’ve posted about the UnitedHealth CEO being murdered on their commitment to their beliefs.

But seen as how you emailed me from a dud email that appears to be bouncing back replies and I really wanted to address something you said to me about violence begetting violence:

My migraine medication, the medication I was given for my debilitating neurological disease that has gotten so bad I spent most of this year actively suicidal, costs $1300 a month.

My insurance covered it. But only because my doctors office went to fucking war for me because I’m a high anaphylaxis risk for the drugs the insurance wanted me to try.

Because that’s the thing.

My doctors knew, based on my documented medical history, I likely wouldn’t be a good fit for the “first line” of preventative migraine drugs, but because of insurance, I had to be given drugs that were contradictory to my other life threatening conditions, because otherwise insurance wouldn’t cover anything else.

I failed them. Spectacularly and with an anaphylactic reaction to one of them. And I was still warned insurance would fight me because I hadn’t tried the remaining drug they wanted me to try.

A drug which I would have to take in an ER waiting room because my mast cell disease is unpredictable but insurance wouldn’t cover in-patient treatment to let me try it safely under medical supervision.

Is that not violence?

Were all the times I was denied coverage for vital and necessary procedures that could have prevented my disabilities from worsening not violence?

Maybe not in the sense you mean. But I assure you it felt very much like violence to me.

Do I condone murder? No, obviously. But I’m also sick and tired of people pretending that what is happening to the American people every day isn’t eugenics through class warfare.

Violence begets violence.

It sure fucking does.

Maybe these insurance companies should have thought of that first.

mouthwashing is keeping up at night

spoilers for the game (obvi) if you haven’t played it or watched a play thru i HIGHLY recommend it, but pls read the warnings and be safe!

i keep thinking abt how everything could have gone if swansea was able to get daisuke in the cryopod. it was how i thought everything was going to play out near the end of the game, which made his death so much more fucking devestating. but the fact it was done by swansea himself? no way! i refuse to believe it which is why i have this theory: jimmy put daisuke out of his misery, not swansea.

OK HEAR ME OUT, cuz this is all going to sound scrambled. swansea’s speech and his reasons for putting a dying daisuke out of his misery are valid and seem like something swansea would say to daisuke, BUT something bothers me.

after all of this we hear swan say that he basically has no other reason to keep going and said that jimmy could take the pod if he wants to, seemingly too sad to move on after the only person he planned to protect is dead. we see jimmy get the gun and then swan run at jimmy with the axe now manic for some reason? doesn’t make sense to me after he seemed so resolved, but maybe he wasn’t?

i think that whole speech came from jimmy’s imagination still trying to pin the blame of this whole mess on someone else. and the crazy axe murdering swansea was also something that jimmy made up in his mind. in my opinion these were excuses he made so he had a reason to kill swansea. he probably just retrieved the gun from the bed, grabbed swansea, tied him to a chair and executed him, all the while repeating in his head that swansea is a bad person.

i could make an entire separate post about how the angry drunk guy was probably the most merciful and safest out of anyone on that ship, but that’s besides the point.

it’s been proven to us (near the end of the game especially) that we can’t trust what jimmy sees. other than the crazy fits of dream sequence we see from jimmys pov, after we are shown how jimmy kills swansea, the pods are foamless. this man is hallucinating.

then can we talk about the position of the wound? i find it hard to believe that swansea would go for somewhere as brutal as the face of the boy he’s been trying to protect.

TLDR; jimmy probably killed daisuke with the axe. then killed swansea after he made a big fuss about it. he also probably hallucinated the axe murdering swansea as an excuse to kill him.

edit: i don’t even know if i agree with this theory anymore lmao

for no reason whatsoever here’s a reminder that if you consider yourself a leftist/punk/abolitionist/anarchist/radical in any sort of way and get called into jury duty, you are to become the most square person on earth during the jury questionnaire!!!

don’t be that guy who says fuck the police in the jury questionnaire! that just gets you sent home! if you want to generate change, interact with the case and use your jury vote for good! ESPECIALLY if it’s a high profile case!
