I've been felling like shit all day, hopefully the new sfth video gives me enough serotonin to go to sleep.

I’m going to fight everyone who shit talks Daniel 🙃. It’s actually warm and sunny this year. Everyone around him was on softs. Cars in front of him had terrible starts. It literally isn’t his fault!! If it was any other driver, the consensus would be “oh yeah it was def a racing incident!” but no it’s Danny so it’s absolutely his fault

yeah the fact that cars in front of him had bad starts and left him with nowhere to fucking go which ultimately led to incident is the most infuriating part to me. what was he meant to fucking do!! sorry he doesn't have eyes that point in opposite directions so he can look in both mirrors at the same time!!

Don't stare at the wall. Go to work. Don't go numb. Check on your friends. Don't disassociate. Volunteer or donate to communities in need.

If you need to tune out for a bit that's fine, but remember helping people helps.

I love poetry very deeply and deeply appreciate the opportunity to study it

but

Reading more than 4 poems a day and treating each one with appropriate reverence and attention is very draining

ok. let's clear some things up.

so there's this callout post going around on twitter right now for someone who is, in a word, dangerous. they are a pro-contact MAP and zoophile and they run a mastodon instance that allows minors, NSFW, and people of all contact stances to share a space. very bad!

now, this person is extremely open about their stances, so callouts are kind of useless to start with because if someone is interacting with this person, they know damn well who they are. they're really not hiding it.

the main issue with these callouts, however, is the free advertisement they give to that mastodon instance i mentioned. that's right! to help people "avoid" this place, these callout posts blatantly spell out the name of the instance (as well as another like it), which... makes it very easy for people to find these extremely dangerous places!

that's advertisement. straight up. i don't care what your intentions were, you are giving people an easy way to directly go to these places. it's like antis who share CSEM in callouts. like... that's bad? don't fucking show that to people to prove your point.

so these callouts are ineffective at best and harmful at worst. and then people started trying to post them to aethy. (fwiw, we blocked both those instances ages ago, as well as anyone openly posting in support of them who had accounts federated with us/on aethy itself.)

so take into account the issues i've presented above, and now add to that rule number 3 on aethy:

read that a few times for me. really let it sink in.

if you think an instance or user are a problem, report them to us. we will take care of it. if someone associates with a person like the one in these callouts, tell us about that, too! because we also have a rule in that vein:

it is our job to keep our platform safe. help us do that. do not be a vigilante.

and furthermore, if you break a rule on aethy, and then you're shitty to staff about it? taullo does not have any qualms banning you. i may be a forgiving little doormat, but taullo owns the site and taullo does not take abuse lying down. some of you need to remember that aethy is not a big name platform like tumblr or twitter. taullo pays for it exclusively themselves. they code it entirely on their own as well. aethy is their house and if you are a shitty guest they have every right to kick you out. that said, such bans are uncommon.

in fact, only two such bans were made this month. so if you see one of those banned users claiming aethy is censoring detractors en masse and "imploding", do know that they are lying to your face.

finally, here's a reminder to read the rules of the sites you use. they do have meaning. even if you disagree with them, breaking them does mean staff has a right to inflict you with consequences. try to keep that in mind?

That feeling when you finally feel the strong need to actually call out something someone's said about what's been happening and spend several hours writing a reply... only to click the wrong button and lose it all because you're a clown using the mobile app and that thing doesn't autosave a damn thing. And you didn't back it up.

Who is Sleep and how do I get her number?

[deadstarsrisingsblog]

So uh, just to address some... borderline rude, if not outright nasty, messages/comments I've gotten lately (and immediately deleted):

NONE OF MY FICS ARE ABANDONED.

In the last sixth+ months I've participated in two zines (!!!) that are now wrapping up, @thecodywanzine and @cloneoczine. Everyone is amazing and talented and I am so thrilled to have had a hand in them both. I can't wait to post all my fics!

I'm also working on my ongoing fics/chapters, albeit slowly, but I have a very demanding job that picks up in the spring/summer and I won't have a lot of free time until at least the end of September.

So nothing is abandoned. Please chill with the comments about me abandoning my fics and disappointing my readers. I GET it, I'm sorry, but I promise I'm doing my best 😅

I'm happy to share ideas/snippets/etc anytime! Please just be patient with me. Until then, happy reading! 💜

Finally getting to wear my summer wardrobe

[vivientol]

okay, now i'm illegal for liking girls <3 uwu

actually i'm not even mad because it was something i expected. and i'm upset because i had ordered a lesbian bracelet a week ago. in the worst outcome of events you'll be able to watch my trial and jail vlog 💋

okay, that's a joke, but i'm truly in a danger due to the new law.

i wish homosexuality wasn't a struggle.

(i'm upset about it all but i'm too tired to cry or be mad. it's boring)

(pretty vi pic by @truegerardsimp2008, finally watched arcane despite the fact that i had been promising to do it since 2021)
