“if you love this character then you must make him happy in your fics, right?” wrong. the horror. suffering. internal hemorrhage. hospital. immediately
It really astounds me how many people seem to think communication is a largely unimportant part of progressive politics, as if merely having identified the ethically correct position means people will understand what you mean instead of what you say.
I think there’s really a conversation to be had about people harassing others to the point of breaking under the guise of being “morally good” and “protecting others”. I’ve never felt protected or safe seeing people like that. I think “oh, if I step even a little out of line I’m next”.
And the thing is, there's nobody else who needs to be "protected." They will be fine without some unneeded "warning." They will either be just fine interacting with your problem person, or they will decide to move on. It is, in fact, totally normal and healthy for people to have the freedom and opportunity to interact on their own terms and to judge things for themselves. Nothing about this is harmful. And nothing about it deserves harassment/call-outs.
Hey everyone. There's a new youtube feature that rolled out just yesterday that's raising some privacy concerns.
People in the U.S., U.K., Brazil, and Singapore can now share videos and chat with friends directly within the YouTube app. The update bring
This post talks about a new DM feature in youtube. What it fails to mention is that as part of this new feature is that when you send someone a link to a video, and they open it in the youtube app, they will see who sent them the link. Specifically, your channel name.
If your google account name is your real name, so is your channel name by default.
This means the new default behavior is that everyone you send a youtube link to will see your full name if they open it in the mobile app.
To turn this off:
Go to your youtube app settings
Go to Privacy
Turn off "Channel visibility for shared links"
Trimming the source id (the stuff after the '?' in links) will also prevent this from happening.

If this is indeed The Once And Future King....
Read T.A. Barron's Lost Years of Merlin instead!! The fourth book is my personal favorite take on White's ideas, though I have to at least mention Disney's attempt too.
To me, Barron's series is very much like A Wizard of Earthsea, but less human-centric. It's a fantasy world with a full sense of existing outside of the protagonist. He constantly faces consequences for his actions. He experiences loss while old enough to mourn it. He doesn't have a straight cinderella narrative. He is constantly processing his own disability. His magic system is more developed. Rhia is there. Historical accuracy attempt for the brief periods of Post-Roman Britain we see.
I strongly recommend we combat Rowling's market ubiquity by repopularizing other coming of age stories for young wizards.
May there come again a day when "person who only grew up reading HP" stops existing, but we can only do that by providing and encouraging alternative stories.
... If you're suggesting cancelling The Once and Future King simply because of a couple of nothing-burger quotes ...?? Then you have lost the plot.
There are many good King Arthur books out there that deserve to be read. The Once and Future King is one of them.
I agree with this statement.
You can’t Abstain your way to a Better World.
The Burger still gets made, even if you go Vegan. If you don’t buy it, it just winds up in the trash. If you want to do something meaningful about waste, you need legislation: It must become a crime to waste food in those ways.
If you care about Animal Cruelty in Factory Farms, you need to get legislation passed. It must become a crime to mistreat animals in those ways, and when malfeasances occurs, the onus of responsibility for those crimes must fall upon wealthy shoulders. That, also, requires legislation. It requires regulations, and regulators.
The largest source of Microplastics is wear and tear on automobile tires. It doesn’t matter what brand of shampoo you buy. It doesn’t matter which company you support with your dollar. The issue of Public Transit is too large-scale to be handled at anything less than the municipal level.
It’s not enough to just not participate in society
If you want the world to Change, you must leverage the mechanisms of political power.
You need Government.
STOP PROPOSING INDIVIDUAL SOLUTIONS TO COLLECTIVE PROBLEMS
That comment is spot on AND sciatica stretches are legit. The best treatment for sciatica is get stretchy.
Signed: Willem Defoe fan with sciatica
For anyone who doesn’t know, Sciatica is pain due to compression of the sciatic nerve, which runs from your buttocks down the back of your leg. The reason this stretch is helpful is because the sciatic nerve, after leaving your spinal cord, immediately runs just underneath - and may get compressed by - the Piriformis muscle deep in your buttcheek, which helps you externally rotate your hip. (If the muscle is super tight, your toes on that side might actually point further out when you lie down compared to the toes on your other foot, jsyk).
If the above stretch ain’t compatible with you for reasons like having bitch ass knees, here are some alternative and amazing stretches for the muscle in order of easiest to hardest (but imo least to most helpful) to perform:
However, just keep in mind that none of these stretches will help you if you have a herniated disc, which compresses the nerve roots that protrude from the spine itself! For that you’ll for sure need some different medical intervention.
Have fun!
As a society, we need to go back to understanding that strangers on the internet are, you know, strangers. I feel lately that I'm seeing a rise in 'An author I love blocked me because they took my comment the wrong way' posts on the ao3 subreddit, and then the comment is them calling the author a fucking bitch or something like that.
Don't do this. Tone doesn't translate well in text, and if you don't have a rapport with that author, they are not going to interpret, 'You're a fucking bitch' as, 'Author I hate you for being so talented and making me feel so keenly.' They're going to interpret it as you being an asshole. You can shit talk with your friends because you have an established relationship with them and can distinguish between playful banter and genuine anger. You do not have this with a stranger, no matter how much you like their fics. You will have a much more pleasant time in fandom and not get cockblocked from interacting with your favorite writers if you remember this.
This. I think there IS an argument to be made against nowaday's general block-happy mentality.
But when you are going directly into someone's space to call them names, you need to check yourself. Basic boundaries of respect apply, and you should probably be finding nicer way to say things to your friends too.

A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previou
The court also found that the AI overview made claims "that are not even made in the search results." None of the linked sources drew any connection between the plaintiffs and the shady companies the AI mentioned. The court called these "the defendant's own statements."
Not only do you have no copyright protection for whatever's barfed out by an AI, you, as the AI creator, are responsible for statements the AI makes.
AI is a lying bag of shit which means so are the AI creators.
