I honestly don’t know what we did to deserve living like this. I don’t even know how to write this anymore.

It feels like we are not living anymore, we are simply surviving from one disaster to the next. Every time we think we can finally breathe, something else happens.💔

My mother finally came home after being in the hospital. After all the fear, the pain, the sleepless nights… we thought maybe, just maybe, we could finally breathe.😔

But before we could even breathe… My sister broke her arm today .She is in pain and needs an urgent operation to put a plate and screws in her arm so the bone can heal properly. The operation, hospital expenses, and medications will cost approximately $1,500 .

I’m tired of asking people for help. I’m tired of writing these posts. I’m tired of watching the people I love suffer while I stand helplessly beside them.💔😔

But what am I supposed to do? Tell my sister to wait because we don’t have the money?

Tell her to endure the pain because we have already asked for help too many times? I can’t

We have been through so much already. We have lost the normal life we once had. Even the smallest moments of peace have become a luxury for us .😔

$1,500 may be a number to someone… but to us, it is the difference between my sister receiving the treatment she desperately needs or continuing to live with a broken arm and unbearable pain .😔💔

I’m begging you , don’t scroll past us. help us give my sister the operation she needs.

Please, don’t wait for someone else to help us. If 60 people donate $25, we can reach the goal.If 150 people donate just $10, we can get there. Even $5 matters. Even sharing this post matters. 🙏

We are not asking for a luxury. We are not asking for anything unnecessary. We are simply begging for a chance to treat someone we love. A chance to see my sister receive the operation she desperately needs, instead of watching her suffer because we cannot afford it .💔🙏😔

My little sister is still in the ICU, and her condition is getting worse. Doctors told us she urgently needs surgery and that it cannot be delayed.

We need just $500.

$100 from 5 people could give little Lama the chance she desperately needs.

Please listen to your heart. Donate what you can or share this appeal. Be the reason Lama survives.

Here's what I need you to do:

If you see a post with a "mature content" label, and it's 2026, DM me a link to the post.

Yes, that's really it.

I am hoping to collect several thousand such posts, so that I have a decent sized dataset. I do not care what the post is about; if it's labeled as "mature content", I want to add it to my dataset.

This is always a surreal experience, since that wiki page only exists because I had a fight with an overzealous wiki editor who deleted the entire chart back during the pandemic. I persuaded him to make a separate page for the chart instead, but if that hadn’t happened, one of the only places we would be able to go to look at the Franklin expedition crew list would be arctonauts.com, where you can find an even more complete version of the muster roll.

If the Personnel wiki page ever does get taken down by some even more aggressive wiki editor, we’re going to need arctonauts, and if you want to write polar fiction or polar scholarship about other voyages (like James Clark Ross’s sexy Antarctic adventure), arctonauts has you covered in a way no wiki ever will. There are also letters and publications by polar explorers and legal documents that contain heartbreaking information, like the fact that James Fitzjames left everything he owned to his adoptive brother, whom he calls “my best beloved Friend William Coningham.”

PTSD: The Soldier’s Diaries

J J Abrams is famous for making stories that raise questions he never figures out how to answer. He's also the guy with some weird story about a present he never opened and how that's better than presents you open--failing to see that there's a difference between choosing not to open a present and being forbidden from opening one.

You've got lengthy media franchises where installments undo character development or satisfying resolutions from previous installments. Worse, there are media franchises with "trilogies" that are weird slap fights between the makers of each installment.

You've got wildly popular TV shows that end so poorly and unsatisfyingly that no one speaks of them again.

On top of that, a lot of the media actively punishes people for engaging thoughtfully with it. Creators panic and change their stories if the audience properly reacts to foreshadowing. Emotional parts of storytelling are trampled by jokes. Shocking the audience has become the go to, rather than providing a solid story.

Avengers for the first one–with the decision to send Captain America back to his time, therefore undoing all of the work of Peggy Carter on her Agent Carter show.

Supernatural, though it is still discussed, people are unhappy of the ending. Same with Game of Thrones.

Stranger Things for the third one, they wanted to do so much more with it and the ended up undoing all of the work they did.

Merlin is a great example of a show with a disappointing ending and yet it is still discussed regularly today because it was so good and engaging and it made sense in terms of how the story ended.

I can think of a dozen times when there have been theories of a "secret final episode" or petitions to change the way it ended–and these are fine enough theories but in the end, the media happened the way it did and the only way you'll get something new is engaging in fan media.

The protagonist isn’t always right

The protagonist isn’t always good

The protagonist isn’t always written to be relatable or likeable

The narrator isn’t always right

The narrator isn’t always good

The narrator isn’t always telling the truth

The narrator isn’t always the author

The protagonist’s moral compass, the narrator’s moral compass and the author’s moral compass are three entirely different things that only occasionally overlap

Pay attention to what characters do and not just what they say

Pay special attention when what the characters do is at odds with what they say

Why? Because the forward to the book The Princess Bride claims that there was a much longer version of the book The Princess Bride that the author’s grandfather used to read him — but he didn’t know until he grew up that his grandfather had been skipping over all the boring stuff until he was an adult.

And the movie only shows us Grandfather reading the book to Kid, not the fact that Grandfather was telling Kid a much better story than what actually (supposedly) existed.

So then if the book we buy/read is ostensibly an abridged version of a much longer more boring book, then the movie that New Kid watches should tip the New Kid off to the fact that alllll of us were duped because we saw the theatrical cut and there was “actually” a much longer more boring movie that we didn’t know about.

making bucky a politician is one of the most insane choices the MCU has ever made but you know what. sure. i'm here for it
