LIBRARY WRAPPED

You checked out... probably some stuff? Thanks for doing that :)

Used our wifi maybe? For something?

Look we actually don't know what genres you read or how many times you renewed Gender Queer.

We don't want to know.

Our gift to you is privacy.

Take it.

Be free.

No but the Hunger Games really said "what do you hate more- the atrocities or the people who commit them against you? Because like it or not there IS a difference. If you hate the people who commit acts of pure evil more than you hate the acts themselves, what will stop you from becoming just like your enemies in your pursuit of justice? What will keep you from commiting those very same acts against THEM when the opportunity arises? And what then? The cycle of pain and suffering will never stop. Round and round it'll go. Nothing will ever change. But. BUT. If you hate the atrocities. If you hate the vile, senseless acts MORE than you hate the people who did them to you. If you are able to see that evil is evil regardless of who does it... The cycle ends with you. No, you may never get justice. But you will never be responsible for making others, even your enemies, suffer the same crimes you have. The atrocities will never be committed by you, never by your hand. And that's the way you change the world. It's the ONLY way" and that's why I am sure it will never stop being one of the most relevant works of fiction ever created

If I'm gonna be sad and my brain is gonna feel fucked, at least there's fanfiction

"Buck should confess first", "Eddie should confess first" WRONG. They should both blurt it out at the exact same time and spend the rest of their lives arguing about who started saying it first.

[phoenix-in-the-water]

Just sitting here debating if Eddie is gonna count the will as his move and then just assume it's on Buck to follow up. The alternative is that he realizes the will was a subconscious move and decides to make an actual move. I'm torn.

[phoenix-in-the-water]

mustacheddie is gonna be to buck what clipboard buck is to eddie

I have a pinterest board that's mostly tumblr screenshots titled 'angst'

I think that board is just copious amounts of inspiration for me to write buddie fic that I may never finish

Made a relatively detailed spreadsheet for tracking my fanfiction. I love it very much.

However, it sucks a little for two reasons:

1. I just started it in July, so if I did a year in review kind of thing it would only be the last 6 months of the year.

2. I can't figure out how to get some of the stats set up that I want and I didn't just want to use someone else's. I simply don't know how to even start learning what I old need to learn on Google sheets.

I'm begging fanfic authors to stop writing 1 chapter 35,000+ fics, please. How am I supposed to function and live my life when I'm not forced to stop at least occasionally.

I'm looking at you Buddie authors. And I'm begging you to spare me.

Yours truly,

Reading books isn’t enough I’d like to open a third eye that never sleeps to constantly obtain new knowledge

the way the war in gaza has been constantly about targeting flour, targeting hospitals, targeting universities, targeting water containers, targeting anything that brings life in order to "thin out the population" and "encourage palestinians to move to tent cities in egypt"

and then you have western media readily calling it a "humanitarian crisis" therefore fulfilling israel's goal of manufacturing a humanitarian crisis. this entire war was with the purpose of collectively punishing a civilian population of 50% children. that's why it was immediately understood and labelled as a genocide by multiple genoide scholars, by the lemkin institute, and is currently on trial for genocide at the hague

like the starvation and the blocking of aid and the dropping of parachuted MREs to just barely salvage the reputation of a few politicians is not a byproduct of the war. it's not collateral damage. it is a central pillar of the genocide. acquiescing to israelis blocking aid by building ports and dropping pallets of food means acquiescing to famine as a strategy instead of trying to stop it. famine is not collateral damage, it is a central pillar of genocide. killing children is not collateral damage. it is a central pillar of the genocide. we don't need hindsight to say this plainly, anyone who denies it now is another pillar of genocide.

queer is a gender, sexuality, romantic orientation, political alignment, and mission statement, babey

Not feminist as in "women should be included in the draft" but feminist as in "being drafted is a violation of bodily autonomy for any gender".

The draft should not exist. Drafting people into the military is a violation of human rights. You should not be able to force someone to risk their life. If you can't find enough people who care about a conflict to keep it going then it simply shouldn't keep going. You can't even force someone to donate a kidney using government power, why the fuck can you force them to donate their whole body and life to a cause they don't agree with or don't care about?
