Hi, I'm Garbage, they/them. I reblog stuff that makes me laugh and make podfic, mostly for AFTG. Check out my AO3 account or my #garbage pods tag here on Tumblr https://archiveofourown.org/users/Aliteralgarbageheap/pseuds/Aliteralgarbageheap profile pic by @mostly_maudlin

Hello fandom people! It's Garbage, your friendly neighborhood pod-person here.

My question to fandom writers: would you be open to podfic (or other transformative works) being made for your writing?

If the answer to that question is yes, would you consider adding a blanket statement to your AO3 user profile and/or Tumblr page? Actually, whatever the answer to that question is (hard no, ask me first, not for specific works), would you consider adding a blanket statement to your AO3 user profile and/or Tumblr page?

Don't know what I mean by blanket statement?

From the fanlore blanket statement page:

"In some parts of fandom, fans refer to a statement a fan has made about their policies or preferences regarding their own works as a blanket statement. The idea is that this one statement "covers everything" a person might want/need to know (hence blanket), thus sparing the person from having to contact the fan to make an inquiry and the fan from having to field inquiries. It can be difficult for some fans to approach a creator to ask for permission."

Still not sure why it might be nice to have one?

This blog post talks about blanket statements at more length

If anyone wants to talk to me about blanket statements and why I love them feel free! But otherwise I'll be crawling back into my cave now, thanks!

Last night I had a dream where I was filling up my water bottle at a drinking fountain and someone ran over and started to drink out of my water bottle as it was filling up and I got so mad I woke up

Tried to recreate it

neil got some hints about drake's abuse but didn't think it could become a problem in their current situation, and then he wished he would've acted sooner, before andrew got hurt again. He wasn't going to make the same mistake with jean, he got the hint about grayson's abuse and he took the first opportunity he had to wipe him out of the map, he wasn't going to leave anything to chance anymore if he could help it

neil josten, the man that you are

You should be furious that people trying to escape genocide in Gaza, Sudan, Congo all need raise an absurd amount of money just to survive

You should be furious at how these people went through atrocity after atrocity and still need raise tens of thousands of dollars to get away

You should be furious at this insidious thing that completely encapsulates how capitalism feeds off of blood

knitting tutorial made by a twenty-something knitting influencer: 18 min long, 12 of those minutes being the intro and a sponsor plug, they show the first few steps of the tutorial at the slowest speed known to man, they show the most important steps at a neck-break speed, they stop every five seconds to talk about what they just did, 40,000 comments filled with questions ranging from insightful to “how do i knit”, filmed with a camera that costs more than a car, the tutorial is incorrect.

knitting tutorial made by a seventy-something grandmother: two min long, filmed 17 years ago, shows you what you want with the skilled patient hands of a beloved deity, made with the world’s shittiest camera, the best video on the fucking internet, four comments and 30 views, you lose the video and never find it again.

two things i’m noticing in the notes:

1. every artist/crafter/cook agreeing that influencers in their communities also pull shit like this
