“Insisting that your needs are the only needs anyone should have is not a safe space, it’s its own act of violence.”

“fandom should be a safe space” applies more towards allowing people to explore topics without ridicule and, more importantly, accurately tagging/warning your fandom involvement so others can adequately block/blacklist certain topics. others are not responsible for your involvement, only theirs, and same for you. they tag characters and warnings, and so do you. that’s what makes the world go ‘round.

Apparently a lot of people think “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” means something specific. It’s usually used on fics with darker themes, but it’s not a code word for any specific theme. It literally just means pay attention to the tags and notes because the fic is exactly what it says it is.

see my problem is if i “listen to my body” it literally only wants to lie down and take naps, all the time

Let’s fucking go

5. If the words are Google's, this solidifies the position of universities who demand that all answers from AI are fully cited. If all the in-line citations now have to be (Google, 2026), that's going to make it obvious when someone's trying to use Google as a source. There's still the difficulty with people who are academically dishonest by trying to pass off the AI writing as their own. 6. 91% accuracy is officially too low to use as a source of references, which means the AI can't be used as a source of references either. This makes it less legitimate for such purposes than Wikipedia of all places (Wikipedia might need date/time proof of when it was accessed for the reference to be valid, but at least it is possible to prove the link existed at a particular date and time). 7. This will help encourage the rollout of courses on how to avoid AI search for students who need academic accuracy, because it's statistically not good enough to use. 8. This strengthens the case intellectual property authors have against Google in the EU, as this is proof that an intellectual property transfer took place.

so embarrassing when you finally get around to watching or reading some landmark piece of media well known for having a massive slash fandom and finding yourself completely drawn in by the homoeroticism as well like oh my god has anyone else heard of these kirk and spock guys? sam and frodo? sherlock and watson? anyone else seeing this?

dude he's a pro and he's dating a noob, it's a problematic skill gap, it's not a healthy pwnage dynamic
