the current american political landscape is such a shitshow that i've now achieved a state of complete and total zen about it. right now i'm just like damn. there sure will be an election between some two guys in november. who knows who the two guys will be. i mean we can be pretty sure of one but also never say never.

the federal government is no longer real to me. i'm hanging out in my monthly neighborhood meetings and connecting to my local homeless + queer advocacy groups to get trans women clothes for job interviews. something will happen on the federal level in november and when it does i will still be here going to my monthly neighborhood meetings and giving unhoused people cash and helping trans people who have recently gotten out of jail.

like i'm just like. alright. i've accepted the things i cannot change. gonna go change the things i can because i'm out of fucks to give. materially what happens in november is that i vote for the democrat on the ballot; i have never been less interested in hearing every other leftist's individual upset feelings about voting for the democrat on the ballot. it is Whatever.

we love to get involved in our community!

There's Only One You 2024: a sports rpf short fanworks prompt meme is live!

262 fanworks in 12 different sports rpf fandoms. Check out the works and the fandoms and grab a cup of coffee 'cause it's just banger after banger across fandoms!

Thank you everyone for your hard work in making this another wonderful year! It is a joy to do this with you again. Your enthusiasm and joie de vivre make all the logistical stuff worthwhile.

Creators - make sure you update the posting date on your works to today so it appears at the top of the tag, especially if you posted weeks ago! Your names will be revealed on Monday, April 8 between 9am-10am pt (unless your work is also in anonymous collection.)

Everyone - if you enjoyed a work, slam that kudos button and leave a comment! Short works do not get nearly enough attention in fandom and these creators worked hard - let them know what you loved about their work! And I'll emphasize that doubly for the podficcers, artists, and fanmixers here, because those are also creators that don't see a lot of praise even beyond short fics. tl;dr: kudos + comment if you liked it!

Thank you all!! Settle in for a good weekend because we've got a lot to enjoy here 🌞

actually the more I listen and compare the more I think that a better way to describe the difference between the british masc rook voice and the american one overall is that the british sounds like a very real person who is being genuinely fierce and determined despite the fact that they are scared and understand the gravity of the situation. and the american one sounds like they might really be deeply fucking nuts enough that when the chips are down they are not even really afraid they're busy being a creature of pure 'go go go!!' fjdsklfjsa. when they really hit their stride they become less a person, more some divine instrument being used for the wildest improvised guitar solo you could ever imagine (and desperately trying to keep up with themselves as the rock ballad of inspiration sure is Happening To Them So Much). BIG moist von lipwig vibes, for those in the fandom overlap

hey u feel like the type of person whod be thinking abt this.. do you have a plan for not having like seventeen panic attacks on election.

i've taken steps in my personal life to determine where there are organizations that help marginalized people in my community, and i've made plans to do a lot of volunteer work to directly minimize harm caused by the federal government. my approach has always been, "okay, if trump wins, i need to know what i'm gonna do in the face of that." so. that's my main focus.

as for managing my emotions, i'm sort of leaning into the whole sociopath thing and have just kind of..... turned off my feelings. which i know is not feasible for everyone. so that's not exactly advice, that's just. something i Highly Recommend Doing if you have the capacity. (i assume if you're having uncontrollable anxiety then 'just stop doing that' is not super helpful.)

i'm surrounded by people who are very worried about the election & my own worry will not change anything about the election, so. it's more practical for me to just opt out of fear so i can take care of the people who can't opt out of fear. u feel me?

make your plan for how you're going to love and help those around you if the worst happens. over the next 48 hours or so, distract yourself as much as you can. stop refreshing your newsfeed and watching results trickle in.

it's completely normal to be stressed and upset and scared about the election, given that it's such a huge thing with such huge global implications, and nobody likes living in uncertainty.

so. control what you can by making your plans and getting in touch with your loved ones about what their plans are. the rest of it is something you're just gonna have to face and fight as things happen, like we did from 2016 onward. he may win, he might not. but assuming you already turned in your ballot, you've already done what you can re: the results.
