i feel like people are skimming over the uk riots in a way that makes me want to tear my hair out. muslims in the uk are in active danger. immigrants in the uk are in active danger. refugees in the uk are in active danger. people of colour in the uk are in active danger. asian communities in the uk are in active danger. black communities in the uk are in active danger.

there are massive far right riots throughout the country right now and people like fucking elon musk and nigel farage are inciting it and still have a platform to speak. people have used three young girls deaths, people's genuine grief in southport, to try and gain traction for their own racist bullshit and it's working.

a lot of refugee charities have been forced to close leaving many people without support, homes, funding, food, etc. if you aren't able to donate please consider sending a message via the conversation over borders campaign! it will send a hopeful, welcoming letter to a refugee in the uk. there is also a guide to staying safe here.

please do your own research and donate to refugee charities, anti-islamophobia charities, mosques who are trying to rebuild after being destroyed, counter protesters, here are some i've heard positive things about but the list is extensive; southport strong together (support for the southport victims and their families), southport mosque rebuilding, riot repair fund, middlesbrough vulnerable residents, nasir mosque rebuilding, hull help for refugees, bristol welcomes migrants,

✨April will be a good month, it will be filled with all of the right things that need to happen✨

Gentle reminder that very little fandom labor is automated, because I think people forget that a lot.

That blog with a tagging system you love? A person curates those tags by hand.

That rec blog with a great organization scheme and pretty graphics? Someone designed and implemented that organization scheme and made those graphics.

That network that posts a cool variety of stuff? People track down all that variety and queue it by hand, and other people made all the individual pieces.

That post with umpteen links to helpful resources, and information about them? Someone gathered those links, researched the sources, wrote up the information about them.

That graphic about fandom statistics? Someone compiled those statistics, analyzed them, organized them, figured out a useful way to convey the information to others, and made the post.

That event that you think looks neat? Someone wrote the rules, created the blogs and Discords, designed the graphics, did their best to promo the event so it'd succeed.

None of this was done automatically. None of it just appears whole out of the internet ether.

I think everyone realizes that fic writing and fanart creation are work, and at least some folks have got it through their heads that gif creation and graphics and moodboards take effort, and meta is usually respected for the effort that goes into it, at least as far as I've seen, but I feel like a lot of people don't really get how much labor goes into curation, too.

If people are creating resources, curating content, organizing the creations of others, gathering information, and doing other fandom activities that aren't necessarily the direct action of creation, they're doing a lot of fandom labor, and it's often largely unrecognized.

Celebrate fan work!

To folks doing this kind of labor: I see you, and I thank you. You are the backbones of our fandoms and I love you.

no mum, you'd know what i actually wanted and liked if you ever payed attention to what i saiy instead of criticising and picking apart every thing i do. and no don't act like i shouldn't get hurt by what you sya to me because you want the best for me. it doesn't automatically soothe everything you say and do to me

i genuinely don't care how good a piece of ai generated art or writing looks on the surface. i don't care if it emulates brush strokes and metaphor in a way indistinguishable from those created by a person.

it is not the product of thoughtful creation. it offers no insights into the creator's life or viewpoint. it has no connection to a moment in time or a place or an attitude. it has no perspective. it has no value.

it's empty, it's hollow, and it exists only to generate clicks (and by extension, ad revenue.)

it's just another revolting symptom of the disease that is late stage capitalism, and it fucking sucks.

Mentally, physically, emotionally I'm still stuck here. Like why did they have to do that.

latest complaint on lando norris is his lack of enthusiasm after getting pole for tomorrow yet i seem to remember you all attacking him back when he used to celebrate with shitty comments like 'he's really celebrating a qualifying win' ... you guys are all sore fucking losers

"uhm, we can't talk about it when trans women sexually abuse us because we'll be labelled transmisogynists!" This does not fucking happen. You only said this as a "gotcha!" to what I said. I have known so many fucking trans women and transfems, both whom I know personally or just know of, who were quietly socially assassinated with absolutely ZERO repercussions to those who did it. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain from it. We could have plain missionary-position sex and someone will somehow twist any insignificant mistake we made that were not told of into us being some sort of horrendous, monstrous rapist and abuser, all with you describing our "male privilege" and dysphoria-inducing descriptions of our Power, all coded so the Allies(TM) don't think anything of it.

This is not a fucking thing that happens. You live in a world made of pudding.
