my favorite relationship is the one between humans and dandelions. in childhood we instinctively blow on its little fuzzy seed carriers. we take the role of the wind, we help the dandelions in a crucial part of their lives, and in return we get a wish and a moment of happiness. this is how nature is meant to work. we are just as unaware of our goodness as the honey bees are, pollinating the flowers 

my biology professor has such a chaotic energy about him, last week i went to his office hours and somehow we ended up on the topic of gay marriage:

he said that when he lived in texas they changed the law to define marriage as “between a man and a woman in a house of religious worship with the intention to have children” so he filed his taxes as single and when they called him up like “you filed married last year” he was like “you changed the law, i was married by a judge in a courthouse and i have no intention of having kids” and they told him “you know who that law was for” and i guess he hung up on them and did not, in fact, pay taxes as a married man that year

Chaotic good

NO! This is Lawful Good! He is following the LAW! Chaotic doesn't just mean cheeky!

this is like how Sweden stopped classifying homosexuality as an illness because people started a campaign of calling in gay to work

I actually really like Ezra Miller’s Flash, in both versions of Justice League. As much as I prefer the Snyder Cut, Barry’s monologue on being out of step with the world [which I guess we can assume was Whedon dialogue], was actually pretty great and an excellent introduction to his version of the character.

Is he comic accurate? No, not especially, but he is a nice break from the walls of muscle that are Cavill, Affleck and Momoa. He’s also a nice counterpoint to the more tragic arc of Cyborg [which we finally get to see now, thank you very much!]. Plus, if you had to make one Leaguer the funny guy to break up all the grimdark, it ought to be the Flash, because it plays so well to his character. He’s just a great guy to have around, he’s basically got the powers of a god and yet he’s consistently the most grounded and relatable member of the JLA regulars. The fact that this version of Barry Allen is almost certainly on the spectrum is also a nice bonus.

important for AO3 writers

So a while ago I asked staff at AO3 why it was that I could post a work, update it with chapters, and have it appear no higher than tenth, ever, even with new chapters, on a busy fandom. I finally got an explanation. 

“If, however, your work is appearing below works that were already visible, it’s possible you’re running into an issue that occurs when a work is posted between 12:00 AM and 5 AM UTC - works posted during this time frame cause the system to believe the work has had a posting date set manually. (Normally you would do this by ticking “Set a different publication date” in the posting form.) This also applies to works that were initially saved as a draft on a date previous to the day they are posted. Works that have been backdated are assigned a default time of day, which may be earlier than the actual time you posted the work.”

So don’t post during that time. It just HAPPENS to be between 5 pm and 10 pm Pacific time so posting things after dinner is RIGHT OUT if you happen to live on the west coast of the US. That’s between 8 pm and 1 am east coast time.

So until they fix this (and it’s been going on a LONG time, they’re working on it but it’s a massive code overhaul, apparently) I’ll be posting fics OTHER times.  This means if you’re posting a long, multichapter work, posting the first chapter in the evening can screw up the entire rest of your posting. Posting a draft before posting for reals will also keep you from being at the top of the list. And this probably explains why some of my fics have done better than others.  What does this look like? Someone posts at, say, 4 in the afternoon my time. I come along and post around 8 pm, which is pretty typical for me, but it gets marked as “set manually” and given a time much earlier in the day, and thus appears behind everything posted that day. So it’s never on top, people start reading down the list, think they’ve seen everything that’s at the top, and don’t poke any farther.  So for writers, DO NOT POST BETWEEN  12:00 AM and 5 AM UTC. Google will translate, just plug in 12 am UTC and it will pop up your local time in most places.  For readers, realize this exists and that you’re probably missing something. Scroll back if it’s between those hours, and after those hours. 

And at some point they’ll fix this to something less arcane.

WHAT

I was wondering why that kept happening

*Insert ‘excuse me wtf’ meme here*

That’s basically the only time I’ve ever posted that’s kind of amazing. I very clearly remember chapter 3 going up then. Glad to know there’s a reason for this, always figured there was a bug of some sort!

“ #note for later#ao3#i wonder if this has been fixed?#original post is from July 2020 ish “

I don’t think it has yet. This has been a bug for pretty much *waves hand* all of it. Like a decade or more. I would expect it to change sometime when they make a really large update, or if they ever take AO3 out of beta.

Sorry, I could never be a capitalist, I suffer from “wanting humans to have their basic needs met” disorder, where I care about people who aren’t me.

Someone once asked me if, assuming we got universal healthcare, I would be okay with the rise in “healthcare tourism” where people who are sick come to our country to get their medical bills taken care of and life-saving medical treatment cheaper than in their home countries. I was just like, yeah thats fine, I’d actually prefer it if 0 people died from preventable causes kept behind a paywall for no reason.

“even the addicts?” yeah dude did i fucking stutter

A new study released by the Entertainment Software Association has revealed that adult women now occupy the largest demographic in the gaming industry. Women over 18 made up a whopping 36 percent of the gaming population, followed by adult men at 35 percent.

Teenage boys, who are often stereotyped as the biggest gamers, now lag far behind their older female counterparts, making up just 17 percent of the gaming demographic. (x)

I still get hate for this. Keep sharing it!

This includes mobile “gaming” like Candy Crush which messes up the whole metrication you dumbass. Use your common fucking sense, Karen the soccer mom isn’t playing Overwatch.

Blah blah blah

“Women aren’t true gamers! They play Candy Crush!”

“Women aren’t true artisans! They are crafters!”

“Women aren’t true artists! They have hobbies!”

“Women aren’t true chefs! They are cooks!”

I am so tired of this bullshit.

Video games are video games are video games.

“Though this stereotype has long persisted, and even been used as a hiring tactic, the new data suggests there’s little if any truth to it—especially not when you consider that the average adult woman has been gaming for 13 years.

Sorry, male gamers of Reddit and 4Chan, but Angry Birds only came out five years ago. Unless you want to try to argue that women have just been playing Bejeweled for the last 13 years, the math just doesn’t add up.

And while the total audience for mobile social games is now bigger than ever, the audience for computer and video games is now an even 50-50 split between male and female genders.”

tfw you’re telling people to use their common sense but your own common sense somehow did not persuade you to read the article linked above or the study provided

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is one of the best selling games of all time, and it is largely women that are playing it.

Just because it’s not a first-person-shooter, doesn’t mean it’s not a video game.  (But, like, we play those, too.)
