shooting stars--

It was so hostile that, to this day, discussions that begin to derail just enough can make me physically nauseous, some specific mockery trigger crying sessions years later. We lost most accounts with any sort of ace positivity. There was no information, no support, and all this damage was done predominantly by other queer people.

Fictional characters are objects.

Stop telling people to encourage the cop inside their head.

How you treat fictional characters, given they are entirely objects of fiction, does NOT necessarily speak to your own character, and you do not need to be "careful".

It is not dangerous to imagine dark things happening to fictional characters. It does not mean you are secretly a bad person. It does not mean you unconsciously want to hurt people in real life. It is not a "slippery slope" to doing bad things to people in real life. You cannot damage your brain or turn yourself into a bad person by consuming "dark" fanfic.

The US House of Reps may vote as early as TONIGHT (10/11/23) to rush weapons to Israel, despite Israeli officials pledging Palestinian genocide.

Stop what you are doing NOW and add your voice to flood Congress with calls demanding they de-escalate and immediately cease sending weapons and military assistance to Israel’s destruction of Gaza.
