Sweetie. He's not real.
Had the most fascinating conversation with a middle school boy today. He tells me social situations are hard, and I’m agreeing, because I remember middle school and how hormonal and angry we all were, when he tells me that kids at his school are starting rumors about others. Ah, yes, I nod. The rumors of middle school, the rumors about how so-and-so is gay because he likes drama class, and she’s a slut because she held hands with him last week and, of course, the rumors.
And my young friend goes on to tell me the nature of these rumors. And y’all wouldn’t believe, the middle schoolers these days are spreading rumors that people are…
Homophobes.
I double take. “Homophobes? Like, they hate gay people?”
“Yes,” says the child.
“They’re not spreading rumors that people are gay?”
“No,” he says. “That they’re homophobic.”
Y’all. What??
As a 19-year-old sophomore at Stanford, Elizabeth Holmes decided to transform diagnostic medicine so she dropped out of college and used her tuition money to start her own company, Theranos. Ten years later, Holmes, pictured here holding a micro-vial, is on the cutting edge of medical technology — her new blood testing method allows hundreds of tests to be run using only a few drops of blood. And, Holmes’ methods are cheaper, faster, more accurate, and less invasive than conventional methods which often require a separate vial of blood for every test. As Holmes told Wired.com earlier this year, “I started this company because I wanted to spend my life changing our health care system. When someone you love gets really sick, most of the time when you find out, it’s too late to be able to do something about it. It’s heartbreaking… We wanted to make actionable health information accessible to people everywhere at the time it matters most. That means two things: being able to detect conditions in time to do something about them and providing access to information that can empower people to improve their lives.”

The Amestrian Candidate
Chapter 23
The Führer controlled and commanded the entire military and, as it naturally followed, Riza. If he wanted to make up for a missed appointment with an officer, he could. If he wanted to pull someone from public and into a small, black automobile, he could. And she could do nothing to prevent such a thing: any outright refusal would have been insubordination.
So when excuses ran dry, and when David’s surprising efforts at negotiation failed, and when she had decided against being ordered, Riza followed.
"Tonight in Tel Aviv. We need to stop the bloodshed. We must urgently reach a ceasefire agreement - it is the only way to save the lives of innocent people in Gaza and bring back the hostages."

on 28th december, in tel aviv, hundreds gathered for the largest pro-peace rally in israel since the beginning of the conflict.
Quick PSA, if you get one of those "Work scanned, AI use detected" comments on AO3, just mark them as spam.
Some moron apparently built a bot to annoy or prank hundreds of authors.
There is no scanning process, your work doesn't actually resemble AI writing, it's all bullshit. Mark the comment as spam (on AO3, not the email notification you got about the comment!) and don't let it get to you.
The spam comments have evolved.
They are now also linking to a site they claim is able to scan works and tell you whether they were AI written or not, and that you should do that before reading a fic.
It should go without saying that you should not, under no circumstances, visit a site advertised in a spam comment.
In this case, I'd say there's even a chance that the "scanning" site is actually used to scrape fics and use them for future AI writing. What it definitely doesn't do is tell you whether something was AI written or not. That's a bullshit claim.
Don't use that site. Don't believe these spam comments, whether you get them on your own works or see them on someone else's.
It's all bullshit.
Just got another one, so here's what they look like to anyone curious. They're never real users, either, just keysmashes for the display name.
I stand with the civilians.
Just, you know, in case you’re still confused about what they stand for.
To clarify on the above, I in no way believe that this will result in violence from Muslim communities. Protest, certainly, as they have every right to do. But Hamas does not represent Islam and has never represented Islam.
Israel has harmed Palestinian people, period. I will never deny this. But the global Jewish community is in no way responsible for this, and should never be held responsible for this.
What scares me is that some antisemite out there will use this as permission to hold us responsible.
want your favorite author to update but don’t want to be too pushy in their comment section?
here’s 5 things you can do to encourage them:
- Reblog their fic link on tumblr (bonus if it’s with tags)
- Bookmark the fic with a note about what you’re excited about/love in the fic
- Recommend the fic to your friends or local discord channel
- Draw art or create other media for the fic (as indicated by the author’s comfort level)
- Leave them a comment when re-reading about the parts of the chapter/story that stood out to you the second time
Seriously, guys, the cheer leading does help. Sometimes the only thing that gets the next chapter out is “I’m gonna do this for starfleetlinkuei69! ;_;”
BRB.
I'm back.
did you remember to pick up the milk?
Oh no! I forgot.
Happyns every time.
