As an American about the news, I don't have a TV or cable or anything so I wouldn't completely know, but yeah. For "just the facts" reporting I deliberately seek out international sources like the BBC (not saying they're perfect, just more straightforward than American news). Even the really revered sources like the New York Times publish a lot of nonsense

That's funny because I generally wouldn't go to any newspaper for a quick update on the facts. Every big newspaper carters to a certain political viewpoint. Smaller, local newspapers are a little better about this, but also mainly local news & I wouldn't expect investigative journalism from them (anyway, I haven't read an actual paper in years so idk)

I don't have a TV either, but Tagesschau (the specific format I meant) is available online with no paywall or advertising, since it's public. It has a great online presence as well and because it does very few opinion pieces, it reaches a broad audience. Like, you don't have to wade through loads of content to find the actual facts or to separate fact from opinion. Reports on individual issues are often only 1-3 minutes long; they give you the facts, if something is controversial, they give you takes from people who represent at least 2 sides of the argument. Because the broadcaster doesn't rely on ads, their headlines tend not to be very clickbait-y. They also do a lot of fact checks and are imho the best address for liveblogging of dynamic situations; they can afford to have someone permanently on the ground worldwide, as they don't have to answer to shareholders.

Is it perfect? No, of course not. They still have a viewpoint. It is impossible to be completely unbiased. in their desire to be unbiased, they often give more screentime to right-wing politicians than I'm comfortable with. But still, they are the standard against which all others are measured and rightfully so imo

enchanted forest au?

oh yeah.... this au that i began at christmas and promised myself i’d update regularly and then... didn’t...

did i really last update this in december??? god i’m so sorry to anyone who actually wanted to follow this - i promise i will pick it up again some time soon. i’m about halfway through the next chapter, and i even have a proper plan for the whole thing so i guess i distracted myself with the horrible hercolyn advent and now i’m in way too deep for gallifrey.... ahah... 

to say sorry, here’s an extract from the next chapter which i will post eventually:

“A toast! To our dear friends, who are all here tonight – a toast to your health!” King Knapp roared, wine sloshing over the side of his goblet. Carolyn sighed. Her father had always been a lightweight.

Across the table, Theresa caught her eye and smiled. They had long been forbidden from sitting within arm’s reach of each other after one too many practical jokes. At least they’d gone out on a bang.

Since then, her father had always seated her at the top of the table, next to a potential suitor from a neighbouring kingdom. He denied this when she’d challenged him, once, but she wasn’t stupid. The older she got, the more of a problem it was. She knew that if she were good and obedient, she’d accept her role and duty as crown princess, listen to her father and marry the most politically useful man he put before her.

And it had nearly happened – she had liked Ian enough to accept the proposal, but going to war against their kingdom had put an end to all those plans. That, and catching him in bed with her sister.

Word count: 10,540 Chapters: 3/3 Fandom: Sherlock (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson Characters: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson Additional Tags: mind reading au, Case Fic, Pre-Reichenbach, Pining, Friends to Lovers, Insecure!Sherlock, Frustrated!John, Wisteria Lodge but like way less racist Summary:

“It seems we’ve become the next of Baskerville’s unwilling test subjects,” Sherlock announced. “We?” John asked. “You’re not reading minds too, now, are you?” Just back from Baskerville, John discovers a strange new ability: he can hear Sherlock's thoughts. What he overhears will challenge the way he understands Sherlock- and their relationship.

======

Rec: This is a snazzy, hi-tech update of Wisteria Lodge with the welcome addition of a romantic plot tied up with some unexpected aftereffects from Baskerville. The two threads are nicely balanced and intertwined as each proves to be both a distraction and an enhancement to the other. But the big draw, of course, is the mind-reading bit, which is fun to watch John try to figure out what’s going on. And even more fun once both of them are aware what’s happening.

41, 47, for the writer asks?

41. Are there any books you feel have shaped you as a writer?: Well, obviously the Sherlock Holmes canon. But you know, that’s a given. I’d also say that a LOT of my sense of humour and view of the supernatural and magical comes from Tanya Huff books.

47. Single or dual/multi POV?: It really depends on the story. A shorter more emotionally driven piece for me calls for single, while a longer plot pushed one usually calls for dual. This is especially fun when getting into characters heads to see how they are both responding to the same situation, like

Character A: Oh my god, I’m so awkward and clumsy and I must look like an idiot.

Character B: Oh my god, he is so suave and smooth and charming.

I have a lot of fun writing First Person, too.

11 and 30?

11. What’s your favorite thing about your flag(s)?

idk i just love all the colors in the ace flag?? it’s so weird i realized i was ace and then i found this scarf i had bought at walmart when i was like 11 and it had all the ace flag colors in it and i was like whoa weird, and i wore that scarf for my senior picture lmao. i dont really have much of an affinity with other flags except the rainbow one i guess. the rainbow one i just like uhhhhhhh how gay it is lol

20. What are your plans for this June? (im guessing this is the one you meant??)

lmao nothing.... i’ve never gonna to a pride thing before (aside from like the shitty pride rally my school had for national coming out week), maybe if anything happens with this girl we’ll go, but also i’ll probably be working (and also nothing is probably gonna happen lmao). im probably just gonna be working, trying to start studying for the gre again, and wishing i could do more gay shit lmao

Happy Secret Santa to lunanimal.tumblr.com ! 

It’s a 2020 OJS Christmas - on Skype - in response to the lovely prompt: ‘Just in general MJN/OJS being a family and supporting each other’. Douglas was worried he might not be able to see his daughter in the lockdown, but it all worked out.

Pearl and coral!

pearl: if you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?

England (but also the UK in general). It’s pretty much the only place outside of the US that I'd be interested in visiting one day. 

coral: if you had to describe your personality as a food, what would you be and why?

Hmmm...maybe like a muffin? Since it’s kind of small and unassuming. I dunno, it’s hard to think of a food that’s “quiet” lol x)

Favorite colour; Last song; Currently reading; Last movie; Currently working on; Sweet savoury or spicy

Tag some people, let's keep the fun going ;)

┬┴┬┴┤(･_├┬┴┬┴

Favorite colour: ocean blue (all the shades).

Last Song: last one discovered that I like... (And I listen on loop) "música ligera" by Ana Mena (not gonna explain xD it's mood ok?). Last one listened on Spotify it's ... Let me check.... Ambrosia wine by Madds Buckley.

Currently reading: ... I feel so called out ... Ok, I'm reading La Belle Sauvage by Phillip Pullman. I've been reading this book for a year it's ridiculous, and it's good and I like it (it's signed btw :3).

Last movie: mmmh when was the last time I saw a movie? Ah! Sleepless in Seattle (Algo para recordar in Spanish) it's one of my comfort films and I'd never seen it in English sooo... I watched it with my dad las week.

Currently working on: currently working on working on something... I'm a disaster... At work we are doing some booklets to study for SAT and PAU. Personally working on drawing horses.

Sweet, savory or spicy: I can't choose... My favourite is sour... But I like those three equally, depending on the time of the day... Sweet in the morning and afternoon, savory at midday and night, spicy always (we put sriracha on everything at home xD) as a companion to the other two flavours.

Well that was fun! Feels nostalgic (੭ु｡╹▿╹｡)੭ु⁾⁾

Hercolyn 32!

you guys all know me so well, every single prompt from this has been hercolyn haha! i hope you’re well <3

32.  “You weren’t supposed to hear that.”

Snoopadoop looked up at Carolyn, big wide eyes that said I'm not listening, but can I have a treat, anyway? The perfect listener. Arthur was better, in the sense that he actually paid attention, but worse because he understood, and remembered. Carolyn rubbed the dog's head and muttered to her, "It's a problem, Snoop. What's happening to me, hm? I've started caring! I love him, Snoop! That stupid man, what's he done to me? Hm? Hm?"

"Carolyn?"

Her head snapped round to see Herc standing in the doorway, grinning. "How long have you been there?"

"Long enough." Carolyn looked back at Snoop, glaring as the dog stuck her tongue out, her eyes flicking dopily between her humans. Carolyn shook her head, disapproving. Apparently their agreement to let her know when Herc appeared was one-sided.

"You weren't supposed to hear that," she said slowly, standing up.

Herc waltzed forward and took her in his arms. "Carolyn, we're married."

"Yes. Still." She didn't protest as he kissed the top of her head, and he winked at the dog, promising with his eyes that a treat was in order.
