Perhaps then one reason why we have no great poet, novelist or critic writing today is that we refuse words their liberty. We pin them down to one meaning, their useful meaning, the meaning which makes us catch the train, the meaning which makes us pass the examination. And when words are pinned down they fold their wings and die.
from a recording of Virginia Woolfâs talk âOn Craftsmanshipâ, a BBC radio broadcast aired on 29 April 1937

The older i get the more i understand why some people become obsessed with privacy, not because theyâre hiding something, but because being constantly perceived starts to feel spiritually exhausting.
Did you know that soda machines at restaurants and movie theaters spy on you? That most common new cars now record your sexual preferences and send it to the manufacturer (and also data about anyone who also gets in your car, walks by your car, and maybe happens to be within visual range of your car)? That grocery stores are trying to force customers to download an app to scan barcodes on shelves instead of putting up prices, so the app can scan the phone, decide how much that customer should be squeezed for, and adjust the price? That more and more innocent people are being sent to jail for crimes committed hundreds of miles away because an AI facial recognition algorithm spit their faces out and the cops didn't bother to do the most basic of checks?
I am not uptight about privacy because I'm hiding something. I'm uptight about it because the people who dismiss my right to privacy are dangerous to you and me and our families, personally, all the time.
And often, they are assholes, too.
my favorite taywedding criticism i saw today was that sheâs upstaging america 250 like⌠go off queen!!!!!!!!
Chappell Roan was right. it is like a hundred ninety nine degrees
And no one is even doing it with me
*sighs sadly* doing it with meâŚ

"this how we lost post editing and it was still worth it"
â False
The John Green Cock Monologue, while one of the most egregious examples of post editing, was not why the ability to edit posts was taken away. This feature was removed because scammers would edit posts with huge note counts to try to make their scams look legit.
"those are his hooves, bitch."
â True
Those are his hooves, bitch.

This post is ancient and stupid but I still laugh whenever I see it

*street shot of zohran mamdani clad in nasty lil suit and hard hat* five months ago i was elected mayor of new york city. in that time, we have managed to COMPLETELY defeat the Staten Island Minotaur at no additional cost to the new york taxpayer
Put this in the comments but it needs to be said here too. I am so mad D20 did unsleeping city before Mamdani was mayor. Can you fucking imagine.
"Pride month is over"
WRONG! Your pride month is over! Me and all the other disabled queers are having pride month two: disability edition
Reblogging this again bc people in the notes are asking a lot of "Am I included? Am I disabled if I have x?" and I just wanted to add the flag here to show people who the pride month is for.
This is the new flag, the old one was more vivid and in a z shape, but it's been made more neutral to be inclusive of people with seizures or sensory issues.
Each stripe represents a different aspect of disability:
Red: Physical disabilities
Yellow: Cognitive & intellectual disabilities
White: (And this is the key one I think) Invisible AND undiagnosed disabilities
Blue: Mental illnesses
Green: Sensory disabilities
If you're autistic or have ADHD? this is your pride month. If you have a mental illness, it's your pride month. If you're hard of hearing, this is your pride month. If you have an autoimmune disorder, this is your pride month. If you are not diagnosed with anything but you know something is up with you: THIS IS STILL YOUR PRIDE MONTH.

Hey if you're coming to Washington DC for the Fourth of July: don't
We're having our turn in the heat wave and reports from the National Mall are brutal already this week. That screenshot is today's forecast (courtesy of the Capital Weather Gang) and tomorrow and Saturday are confidently going to be worse than this is.
The national Mall has no shade on the grass and you will be exposed to the sun constantly while also experiencing extremely high humidity. You will not be allowed a bag over a certain size to enter the mall and it has to be clear. You cannot have an insulated water bottle, it has to be clear. Reports are that there are two entrances to the area so you'll have to wait in line to even get in. I cannot find a number on how many cooling stations there are, except that it's "few" to "none" depending on what accounts I read online. Vendors are allegedly charging more than the posted prices and seem to be unprepared for actual crowds - these are the official vendors not the scam food trucks that park all around the edges of the mall. And that's the extent of the planning done because it was not a priority to make sure attendees don't pass out.
My local friends and I have reached a consensus that tourists are going to get extremely sick and none of us know what the EMT response or planning is on the mall this year. People are going to die.
Please stay out of this. It's not worth your health. Get your relatives and family to stop. I can give you recs for so many DC museums and things to do if you want to make the most of your trip. Any other local can too.
one day, after they're married and ottawa is having a great season and they've gotten another dog (or a cat) and the noise surrounding their relationship has gone down and everything feels perfect and they're finally living the life they never thought they'd get to live, ilya is going to have a depressive episode worse than he's ever had, so bad that shane is terrified to leave him alone even for five minutes. and ilya will wonder if he can have everything he ever wanted and still feel like this, then what is the point? what even is the point at all.

@argillaforma you fucking killed it with these tags I couldn't not add them sorry
âtrad wives just need to realize their inner queer!â i promise u the white women that believe in the great replacement theory donât have inner queer thoughts they are just nazis
fat butch is genuinely the staple . when u say butch i think of a fat butch and it hasn't crossed my mind that this is a new thought for some people
so here are my takes
I think there is a broad cultural problem with the current state of fanfiction that likely stems from the proliferation of fics-turned-published-novels wherein fic authors now feel they have a duty to churn out a high volume of content at an inhuman rate. and in order to meet those demands, they resort to AI. and that sucks.
I think readers and consumers of fanfiction broadly speaking also have a bad habit of feeding into this culture by demanding and expecting a high volume of content churned out at an inhuman rate, and it often prevents them from accurately assessing the quality of what they're reading, leading to a general degeneration of fic quality, feeding an audience that is getting worse at recognizing good art vs. bad art. and that sucks.
going from 1,800 fics to over 38,000 fics for a single ship in less than six months is not normal and should have been a warning sign for people that there was likely a fuckton of slop being produced and posted. and that sucks.
I don't like the excuse that some authors are using that they only used AI to beta their work. there are plenty of humans who would happily beta your fic for you. and if your reasoning for not using a human is because you wanted your work beta'd faster, I would implore you to examine WHY you feel like you are on some kind of binding schedule in a hobby space. kill the profit-driven manager in your brain and take your time making shit.
generally speaking, I believe this is a problem that is driven by both readers and writers but at the end of the day, the real driver - as ever - is capital, and its influence on art and creativity. I don't blame authors or readers for falling victim to this because the world around us sucks, but my god we all need to at least try a little harder to resist.
if you're a reader, be critical of what you're seeing and consuming. and if you're a writer, stop giving away any piece of the creative process to AI. silence the part of you that insists you must post as much as possible all the time. you do not have to capitulate to hustle culture and also your fanfiction will probably not actually make you rich and famous, even if all those comments and kudos are making you feel important.
ultimately we have got to get back to writing and reading fanfic for the love of the game. also I don't think the callout posts about authors using AI are helpful either btw like I think the best choice if you're reading a fic that you suspect might be AI is to simply not read or engage with it. and then go read and engage with something made by a human.

seven year old shaney trying to be helpful to the other kids at hockey camp and telling them âyou should try aiming the puck at the net! thatâs what i doâ
I didnât realise this had to be said until I came across a reel of someone in hospital but dear GOD if youâre in London during this heatwave do not swim in the fucking Thames PLEASE do not even touch the Thames I can name like five different ways you will be violently killed just off the top of my head STAY AWAY FROM THE THAMES and for that matter stay away from lakes/rivers in general and stick to safe, supervised areas of water such as swimming pools because the heat isnât worth the risk of drowning, strong currents, harmful microbes, cardiac arrest with no help in sight etc. etc. PLEASE stay safe in this weather, especially if youâre not used to it!!
I love how humans are all like "NO we polluted our water! Do not swim in nature, swim in the approved chemical containers"
The undercurrent from the Thames is so strong it will literally drown you get your annoying ass tags off my post
Also, a lot of people have misunderstood this post as me saying that all lakes and rivers are bad to swim in, as opposed to the fact that there is currently a heatwave in a country that is not used to high heat and the risk of getting into complications or having a cardiac arrest while swimming with no lifeguard around is a huge cause of heat-related deaths in the UK. Seven people have already drowned in the past week. Iâm not interested in âwow people in the UK are so soft everyone should swim in lakesâ tags anymore because youâre missing the point.
I have three words that should make people arguing about this to shut the fuck up:
COLD WATER SHOCK
Google it.
Yeah, please google cold water shock. Also, Hello! I grew up in Texas and want to highlight a really important safety tip for heat waves. In Texas it's very normal to experience 100*F (37-38* C) consistently in the summer. Higher, sometimes. One of the main pieces of advice we were given when dealing with the heat was, during the heat of the day, DO NOT SWIM. Here's the thing, in addition to the major safety issues OP and obaewankenope are highlighting, there's another, simpler one that applies to EVERY water option available to you: In the water, you do not feel the heat. At first glance, this seems like a win, because the heat is awful and you want to cool down! It. is. not. Do not do this. The danger of swimming in a heat wave is just that: you are still outside. It is still a heat wave. You are still sweating. You are actually exerting yourself more just being in the water, and you cannot feel it.
Also, if you're in the water, you're less likely to get out of the water to stay hydrated, and you're less likely to seek shade or reapply sunscreen. All of that contributes to MORE symptoms of heat stroke, not less. Better, safer options: Light colored, loose clothing in breathable fabrics (cotton, linen), Hair off the back of your neck. A cool, damp cloth on the back of your neck. Breathable footwear. A shaded spot and a fan. Hydration hydration hydration (including fruit!). If you have the option, and can do so from a shaded area, placing your feet in cool water is lovely. (but!!! only if you can do so from the shade! No direct sunlight for you!) Rest. Best, safest option: indoor location with centralized air conditioning. I know European homes don't usually have this feature, but if you've got a movie theater or a shopping center that does have it, go borrow theirs. A movie during the heat of the day (the hottest part, usually between 11am and 5 pm) plus a good meal before/after is your best choice. Listen to the experts, make good choices, do your best, check on your neighbors, and be safe out there. And above all: Don't swim in the Thames.
