for the record I am aware that the white guide cane typically denotes low vision, it was just the absolute and immediate total certainty with which this man clocked "polite customer service voice correcting an error" and skipped every stage of grief on his way to acceptance

Shoutout to the guy with the white cane at the emergency access door who heard me say "hello sir" and just dropped his head, sighed, and went "this isn't the entrance, is it." Either you're going thru some shit or you're a very funny criminal doing his best and I appreciate that

It is my wish for you and all of us that the bullshit stops soon. You know. Whatever unnecessary horrors that happens to be for you

Realising that my idea of what it means to be in a fandom might be a little skewed so help me out here what is your baseline qualification for being part of a fandom

[kaiserin-erzsebet]

I'm going to complain about a specific academic thing:

Nothing makes you aware of the way national categories are the default in history like trying to work outside of or across them.

It's such a trend for people now to say that they want to see more transnational, global, or transatlantic history. But the infrastructure of the discipline is still built around geographically designed categories.

As someone who works across two different geographic contexts and whose argument hinges on taking both equally seriously, there are questions that are hard to answer. Which Conferences should I apply to? What do I call my specialization? Which working groups do I join? Which journals (either geographically defined or methodologically defined) should I send my articles to? When I try to turn my dissertation into a book, what do I tell publishers it is? Which shelf does it go on? The two contexts I work on are shelved on different floors at my home university's library.

If we truly want the discipline to get better about moving beyond national contexts, the way it's categorized needs some introspection.

making something your roman empire?? nah. i’m out here making things my romulan empire.

[aletterinthenameofsanity]

I know we joke about it but it is vital for something to be at least a little bit badly written and/or tragic for me to want to write fanfic for it. It's gotta have cracks for me to wedge myself into, you see, otherwise I might like reading it but my brain will not get feral about it. But you give me an unresolved/botched ending? Kernels of brilliant concepts/amazing characterization in a mangled plot? Sign me the hell up, see you in a couple of weeks with an absolutely brainrotting amount of fix-it fic

personally I think that all queer books should have a “special edition” with a subtle cover (and a code name if it’s necessary) for all of the people in homophobic areas

Aroace culture is accidentally writing all your characters to be aspec because you have a hard time writing romantic and sexual relationships.

Bisexual erasure is a pervasive issue that manifests in various ways across different areas of society. These examples highlight how bisexual erasure occurs across different areas of society, contributing to the invisibility and marginalization of bisexual individuals.

Weird how much gen z mocks gen alpha even though we're not any better.

Example: Gen alpha saying Ohio doesn't exist is no different from when gen z use to say Wyoming doesn't exist.
