USA. Technically, a cartoon series animating Grimm's fairy tales was probably my first anime. Tho I suspect my first anime that I knew was anime was Sailor Moon. I am old enough that a lot of my anime watching was via cartoon network's Toonami block of programming, lmao.

That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science

Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?

The ceasefire agreement was reached and joy is floating among the Palestinian people

[ef-1]

Anyway if nothing else matters then I hope people remember that Pope Francis used his last public address to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and call Israel a terrorist state:

"I continue to receive very serious and painful news from Gaza. Unarmed civilians are subjected to bombings and shootings. It is terrorism."

I think about this a LOT. Sometimes I catch myself being like “aw man this fic didn’t do very well :(“ then I’m like. 50 people. Thats so many people omg.

Something I found on Twitter that really puts things in perspective as a creator.

This is the GREATEST!!! And you know what makes me love it even MORE?!

I was ALSO 47

when I wrote and posted my very first fanfic!!! I don’t consider myself elderly - though I am a brand new grandmother - but still!!! Finding and diving into a brand new hobby at that age is pretty cool!!!

saw an elderly woman walking around with a tote bag whose design were the four AO3 fic category squares and she very excitedly asked if i was a reader or a writer bcs nobody else at the con had recognized it, and after telling her that i've been writing fic since fanfic.net, she solemnly nodded and explained that she'd been reading fic since "the days of personal websites" but that she only started writing fanfic when she was 47 and oh my god when i tell you that i genuinely teared up on the spot!!!!! like!!! HELL YEAH???? LITERALLY NEVER TOO OLD TO START WRITING. NEVER TOO OLD TO WRITE AND SHARE YOUR FIC.

her enthusiastic "i'm a very nice and bubbly person, i swear! but i love writing angst and major character death :)" nearly took me the fuck out.

icon. legend. diva. i wish her nothing but a kajillion million comments and kudos. i hope her fic updates crash AO3. i hope she knows i'm promoting her to my personal patron saint of AO3.

i wish ao3 allowed people to give kudos per each chapter. These 100k word NOVELS need more love than 200 tiny digital hearts ☹️

Texas’ HB 3399 bill will kill people if it passes. It will make hormone therapy illegal. For all ages. Period. This was never about women’s sports. It was never about bathrooms. It was never about “protecting the children”. They want us dead. If you’re a fellow trans person and you live in Texas, I strongly urge you to be ready to move somewhere safer.

EDIT: For updates, check the #HB 3399 tag. It’s hardly being used by anyone else.
