Nazi Punks Fuck Off

I think a cocaine addiction is more ethical than owning four homes in the new york metro area.

This is what happened when a fanfic site is profit driven. Wattpad sucks 😞

The email from Wattpad is so condescending imagine pressuring writers to update and work while they are doing it for free and fun. Also the discovery? Algorithm? Of Wattpad looks like a stressful popularity contest 😑

Hey I just wanna quickly say that you only get these if someone reports the story. I've barely updated on Wattpad in the past two years and haven't gotten any of these, mostly because I don't even have an audience over there who has the potential or drive to report my fics. So, corporate greed is bad, yes, but it's also readers being buttheads

Hmm, that's interesting! You know what happens if someone reports a story for being incomplete on AO3? Jack shit, because not churning out content for your fun little hobby is not a reportable offense on AO3! And that's because, unlike Wattpad, AO3 isn't profiting off of your work, either directly or indirectly, and so when readers are buttheads, the AO3 abuse mods ignore them, instead of sending out weird automated messages harassing writers for daring to have a wip.

JK Rowling has used her billionaire legal team to silence a Jewish woman for telling the truth about her contempt for trans victims of the Holocaust.

Scotland’s network of “freedom of speech” organisations, as per usual, have nothing to say about the use of wealth to gag critics of the wealthy.

However fast they race to condemn the LGBT+ community for saying the names of those who harm us. Statements at the ready to insist that transphobes no one wants to work with anymore must be given every possible opportunity to gain from their bigotry.

But it's not the billionaires who are being silenced, as our media breathlessly echo their every hateful proclamation.

It's journalists and activists forced to publicly humiliate themselves under the weight and the threat of billionaire legal teams or be driven into destitution.

We deserve better. Freedom of speech needs to mean something

The Streisand Effect strikes

This will swiftly become one of the primary things JK Rowling is remembered for. Trying to erase crimes of the Holocaust against trans people and then silencing Jewish journalists for calling her out.

With your help we can make sure JK Rowling is known as a Holocaust denier first, author of mediocre children's books second

It would be a real shame if instead of being covered by paint, which can be removed, bronze statues of racists were to come into contact with saltwater or tomatoes and be destroyed by irreversible bronze disease.

5 screenshots of 9 tweets from Madeline Odent, Twitter username @ oldenoughtosay

Tweet one says: “From an art conservation perspective, it’s honesty fine to throw paint on memorials of genocidal racists! Paint is pretty easy to clean off. What would be an absolute SHAME is if people were to throw certain common HOUSEHOLD ITEMS that can cause IRREVERSIBLE BRONZE DISEASE 1/n”. Attached to this tweet is a photo of a vandalized bronze statue with a red and white sack over its head with unreadable blue text.

Image 2:

Tweet two says: “Bronze disease happens when a copper alloyed artefact (for example most metal busts, plinths, and plaques, particularly Victorian era artefacts) comes in contact with chlorides, water and oxygen. It causes irreversible damage and is impossible to stop! 2/n”

Tweet three says: “What are chlorides? Well, google it, but suffice to be said, they can be found in household salt, seawater, and a few good products like tomatoes. They ‘activate’ in contact with polar solvents (inc water) (and are often found in conjunction of them, like passata) 3/n”

Tweet four says: “Once the chlorides have come in contact with the metal, they ‘stick’ and ‘spread’, we used to think bronze disease was caused by bacteria because it’ll spread from one part of an affected artefact to the whole thing and also anything touching it. 4/n”

Image 3:

Tweet five says: “Now, it’s extremely difficult to remove the chlorides once they’re on! It can be done, but the chemical needed is super carcinogenic, so, it rarely is. So, conservators usually ‘pause’ the disease by removing either moisture or oxygen using specialized storage. 5/n”

Tweet six says: “Of course, the artefact can’t really be on display, which is an absolute shame. Because, like, idk, if someone were to throw a ton of tomatoes at a bust of a genocidal racist, nobody would probably notice the chemical reaction until it was too late to save the artefact. 6/n”

Tweet seven says: “And this isn’t a ‘pretty’ deterioration either. The metal starts flaking off in this gross white fungus type thing- you’ve seen old coins dug up in a garden? Like that. I can’t think of any person with a memorial plaque on the wall of a building that deserves that. 7/n”

Image 4:

Tweet eight says: “And of course, once the damage is done, it can be paused or stopped, but it CAN’T be reversed. In 150 years, we haven’t found a way to restore artefacts that this happens to. Which is a shame since we all immediately forget history when statues are destroyed 8/8”

Tweet nine says “Y’all can stop DMing the museum to complain about me, like a) my boss thinks I’m funny, b) she also supports BLM, and c) I’m the one reading the DMs.”

This is your periodical reminder to download your favorite fics from ao3 every once in a while!!

Personally, I got into the habit of doing it once a year, when I'm working on my "Favorite" fic recs.

While I'm at it, here's a few tools I use that help greatly with my Ao3 experience!

Userscripts

Here's a few userscripts that I love for Ao3!

AO3: Kudosed and seen history: Highlight or hide works you kudosed/marked as seen.

This is the userscript that helps me the most when making fic recs. While browsing a tag or my history, I can see which fics I've already kudosed and I can decide to skip/hide individual fics (there's other userscripts out there if you want to permanently hide specific tags).

AO3 Review + Last Chapter Shortcut + Kudos-sortable Bookmarks: Adds shortcuts for last chapter and a floaty review box, sorts bookmarks by kudos.

AO3: Estimated Reading Time: Add an estimated reading time to a fic description in hours and minutes.

Calibre

Calibre is an ebook management software. You can download it here. I really love using Calibre to send fics I've downloaded to my kindle, but there's also a function where you can download all the fics in one Ao3 page, or multiple fics URLS, all at the same time. Just last night, I used it to download all my Buddie bookmarks. Super helpful! It also allows me to add my own covers to fics and use them on my Kindle. I love it!

please read the best twitter story i’ve seen all week

bringing this back because it becomes possibly funnier the second (third forth) time around

oh my god

there is no magic "the new generation will be more progressive as the old one dies" btw history has only had things get better because of people who didn't act like it was inevitable and acted like things needed to get better here and now and that will always be true

there was a whole generation of boomers who fought for a better world, not as many of them survived as the ones who shaped a worse one. generation warfare is not real. they are not , and have never been your enemy for simply being born before you, and as you get older the youth will not be yours because the enemy has always been the ones holding power and abusing it
