Sucking someone off is called french style and a tit wank is Spanish

These two I knew.

A non-complete list of things you can do that will actually affect the world in positive ways:

Give money. If you have money, this one is easy. Whatever cause you care about, there are people actively working on it, and they all need more money.

For maximum impact for your money, set up a recurring donation, even if it's small. Recurring donations allow organizations to plan their budgets better and spend less on trying to solicit donations.

Call your reps. Ignore anyone who tells you it doesn't matter. Call them. Local, state, federal, all of them. The more local they are, the bigger impact individual calls make.

Register to vote. Ignore anyone who tells you it doesn't matter. Terrible people would not have spent hundreds of years and untold amounts of money trying to restrict access to the ballot box if it didn't matter. Vote every time.

Donate Blood. Stealing this one from the person above. It's a good one.

Join a community organization. Doesn't have to be political or big. Get involved with a community garden or a group that reads to kids at the library. Join a local DSA chapter or become an abortion clinic escort or attend a queer meetup. Honestly, join a walking group if that's what's around you. Getting out into your community is an inherent good and will make you more likely to encounter groups doing good work in your community.

Start a community organization. Does your town need a community garden? A mutual aid group? Someone to pick up litter at the park so people actually go there? Be the change you want to see in the world.

Unionize your workplace. I yap about this one all the time, but it's a thing that anyone can try to do; it's hard but there's no barrier to entry at all. I have resources on my union 101 tag about how to get started if you want them.

Talk to real people in your life about politics. Online debate with strangers doesn't do anything. Talking to people in real life can. Reblogging doesn't do anything. Telling your mom how upset you feel about an issue and explaining it to her might. If you feel like you're shouting into the void on social media, it's probably because you are. And I find it's much better to talk (not shout) to people you know who actually hear you.

I feel like. Part of the reason we're seeing hot takes like "video games like Stardew Valley are bourgeoisie and you should feel bad for playing them" and "if any actor in a TV show even hints at supporting any part of Israel then we need to boycott that entire show" and stuff like that is.

Online activism does virtually nothing. It does virtually nothing, guys. You can reblog and repost stuff all day and it does nothing. And so there's this desperate need in people's minds to Do Something, but social media platforms have so thoroughly trapped us into the idea that This Is How You Connect With People, that we think blogging = activism.

But nothing we've reblogged thus far has made a significant difference in the world. So we keep reblogging, desperately, convinced that if we root out the real evil in our media consumption or if we pare down our beliefs to the One True Ideal and force everyone around us to share that ideal, then finally Something Will Change For The Better.

Log off. Go give blood; there's a critical shortage right now. Help someone in your community; it might not fix wars that are thousands of miles away but it'll help that person. Call or email your local representative about issues that matter to you. Fucking vote. Do something in the not-online space. It'll matter more than 100 posts in a row about Important Things.

it came to my realization that 99% of my fandom related headaches would be cured if everyone understood this

not to sound like a boomer, but I need some people to learn how to write emails in a semi-professional (at the very least) format so you're not cold emailing a business/potential employer/any other stranger about formal matters in the exact same way you'd DM a close friend on instagram

the formality/language can loosen up in the email chain once you've established a rapport and you match the other person if they're being less formal, but please don't have the very first email you send a stranger be written in all lowercase ultra-casual sms slang with no greeting or signature and a billion emojis

i propose that instead of pride month, we have queer year (queer people are treated like actual people all year long)

Not “Only my reading of canon is correct” or “Interpretations are subjective and all valid” but a secret third thing, “More than one interpretation can be valid but there’s a reason your English teacher had you cite quotes and examples in your papers, you have to have a strong argument that your interpretation is actually supported by the text or it is just wrong and I’m fine with telling you it’s wrong, actually.”
