the point of art is not to be great but to make it transparently obvious that there is something wrong with you

The point of art is to let other people know that the thing wrong with them is also wrong with you

This is in fact how you make friends

IT'S FUNNY HOW FOXNEWS AND OTHER FASCIST MAGA PROPAGANDISTS TELL YOU DEMOCRATS "HATE " AMERICA!. WHILE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY CONSISTENTLY PROVES THEY HATE IT IN THEIR GOVERNING!

Democrats don’t hate our country. We hate the Republicans doing their best to destroy not only it but the world. We are being ruled and destroyed by criminals in our government. It is past time to rid us of these evil politicians.

Hi, reblogging because I really love how these are turning out and I want more people to see them. These are works for my first show ever (at 61). Each one terrifies me to start with, then slowly things fall into place. Creating these is both excruciating and fun. The journey art takes you is something alright.

hard work

So I have read several people complaining that they can't be expected to know the "unwritten rules" of fandom. So here's what I wish people knew:

Fanfiction is fiction.

Fictional people are not real.

Fictional people do not have rights.

Fictional people cannot be abused.

Reading or writing about something does not mean the desire to do or support it in the real world.

If I find art upsetting/triggering/disgusting/outraging/unpleasant/squicky/distressing/offensive, it is on me not to read it, not the creators and hosts to remove it.

Curate your own experience. The back buttons exist for a reason.

If you don't trust yourself to do that, get someone you trust to do it for you.

Fandom is an adult space. Adults create and own and host fandom spaces. If minors want to participate, then the onus is on them and their parents/guardians/trusted adults to ensure they participate appropriately, not on strange adults to stop being adults.

You often don't know the assault status or mental health status or neurotype or race or nationality or religion or gender or sexuality or age of a creator or consumer, and they do not have to disclose to you to justify their fantasy.

AO3 is not a safe space. It is not intended to be a safe space. Proceed accordingly.

Just because you don't like something or find it offensive doesn't mean it is a "problem" that "has to be dealt with".

Most characters in anime are not white.

There is no onus on you to reblog or share anything.

Everyone makes mistakes in fandom and is less than their best self sometimes.

Persistent pseudonyms encourage long term relationships.

Ship wars are stupid.

Someone else enjoying things does not impact on your own enjoyment of other things.

Tagging and warning is a courtesy, not a requirement. Assume any fic might contain untagged content.

Rating is an imprecise art, not a science.

Don't hassle IP creators.

Most people who are in fandom are hoping to make connections based on a shared passion.

Trying to profit from transformative fanworks puts us all at risk.

No one is obligated to share your head canon or fanon.

Being kind rarely fails to pay off.

It is okay to block and remove people who make your experience unpleasant. You don't have to placate them. (Learn from my mistakes).

Britpicking is a good thing.

You don't have to justify why you like a canon/pairing/trope/kink. Sometimes navel gazing is fun, but you don't have an obligation to explain yourself, especially to strangers. I share the overwhelming desire to refute an unfair accusation, but the people accusing you are rarely doing so in good faith, so you're batting a losing wicket.

I'm not your Mum. (Well, okay, a very few of you can call me Mum or Mom, but if you are one of them you already know who you are ❤️)

If you aren't mature enough to take responsibility for your online experiences, you aren't mature enough to be in fandom spaces.

This.

DO NOT leave mean comments on AO3.

She is the definition of grim, isn’t she? Not selling me on these cookies.

Gonna look for confirmation but I've seen a claim relating to the news that the NHS is going to force GICs to hand over patient records to look for evidence of detransition, that the criteria they are going to use is if the patient has a GRC.

I dont have a solid source yet. Do not panic yet. But if true I will lose my fucking mind.

Confirmed by prof. Stephen whittle. Fuck.

The reccomendation is write to your GIC with the following:

“I do not give my permission for any aspect of my patient data to be submitted to, or collected for, the purpose of any research without my express permission in writing being obtained in advance”.

AND if you want a GRC get one ASAP. The wait time has increased so do both.

Reblog this post its important.

Who are big name tumblr users who post trans politics that we can tag

I've said the source. Professor Stephen whittle. He is on twitter.

stephen whittle on twitter:

"(...) The data link study looks at whether transition leads to a Gender recognition certificate, as ‘evidence of successful treatment”. That implies if a GIC patient doesn’t obtain gender recognition the treatment & transition has not been successful.

As I research showed most people only apply for a GRC when needed eg to marry, adopt or retire. I advise ALL GIC clinic patients (including PAST) patients who do not wish their data to be used in this way to write to their GIC a short letter stating'

“I do not give my permission for any aspect of my patient data to be submitted to, or collected for, the purpose of any research without my express permission in writing being obtained in advance”.

I also suggest that all who are able to meet the current criteria, apply for Gender Recognition as soon as possible."

the twitter thread is twelve tweets long and you can find it here at this link or just search @stephenwhittle on twitter and he has his thread and replies to it right at the top of his profile currently (12th April). risu is sharing the exact advice shared by prof whittle and now yall have the link so please keep yourselves aware of what's going on.

also about to go chain smoke about this since nonbinary genders aren't legally recognised here so the grc option for a lot of people (including me) isn't fucking possible.

Saying that last paragraph again, you can't get a GRC if you're openly non-binary, so any openly non-binary people included will be counted as detransitioners

dream job is to be that one rotted hand that bursts out of the grave to snatch some stupid idiot by the ankles and pull them under the earth

Growth capitalism is a deranged fantasy for lunatics.

Year 1, your business makes a million dollars in profit. Great start!

Year 2, you make another million. Oh no! Your business is failing because you didn't make more than last year!

Okay, say year 2 you make $2 mil. Now you're profitable!

Then year 3 you make $3 mil. Oh no! Your business is failing! But wait, you made more money than last year right? Sure, but you didn't make ENOUGH more than last year so actually your business is actively tanking! Time to sell off shares and dismantle it for parts! You should have made $4 mil in profit to be profitable, you fool!

If you're not making more money every year by an ever-increasing exponent, the business is failing!

Absolute degenerate LUNACY
