Fritzin About

That's it. That's my answer. Endor.

sometimes I’m reminded that there are still people who don’t know ao3 was literally created by incest shippers — and the site’s sole purpose is to 1. be completely against censorship and 2. host all kinds of dark, taboo fics that are banned on other platforms — and the first ever fic that was posted on ao3 was a fic about an incest ship from supernatural.

you are in the house that was created by freaks. for freaks (affectionate). every disgusting thing you can think of is rightfully allowed and welcomed on ao3, because they are exactly the reasons why ao3 was created in the first place.

ao3 was created because its creators got tired of censorship, they got tired of dark and taboo fics getting banned on pro-censorship platforms, and they wanted a place that was safe for ALL FICS THAT WERE DARK AND TABOO.

ao3’s main principle is being against censorship and being proship / profic.

there are some things in fiction that make me uncomfortable, but instead of shaming people who are just minding their own business and not harming anyone in real life, I choose to curate my own internet experience by blocking/muting what I don’t want to see. ao3 has excellent tagging system, so instead of being a bitch, use their tagging system properly and you won’t see the things you don’t want to see.

it’s your job to curate what you see. it’s not other people’s jobs or responsibilities to censor themselves for your personal comfort. the world does not revolve around you.

also you cannot censor “only the things you personally hate” without expecting everything else, that isn’t of conservative beliefs, to be censored too. because censorship is a slippery slope and a fascist tool. I promise you there are people who think “why do tags for queer love even exist on ao3? they’re grooming children”.

if you allow the things that you hate to be censored — because someone with enough power gets to control what other people can and cannot create/consume, it will not stop at the things that you hate.

ain't no limit, never running out everywhere we go, another win, another day we shining with the lights out even in the dark, we find a way to make a way

So first thing first the beginning with the switch between the members was so smooth and looked so good along with the trumpet sound ahhh its so good already. Chan's outfit looks amazing and I've seen the online stuff of people staying its a one piece is so funny. Also him and Seungmin on all fours is funny to me too because like how awkward is that to film. The chorus is amazing and so is the dance it looks super good and fun to learn. Han looks so good in the music video the curly black hair has me dead. I mean all of them look good don't get me wrong. Lee know in the center and his lines hehe I freaking love him. Chan's little dance break I'm super excited to see what they do with it when they go on tour I'm sure they will make it a much bigger dance break. Hyunjin every time that man is on the screen he owns it and looks amazing doing so. Felix's voice sounds really good and the little 'feel me?" part ohhh they knew what they were doing there. I also really like his outfit. I.N!!!!! Again with them on all fours and him in the paint it looks so good. AND Felix with his taekwondo part I'm so happy he got to do it again and it looks really cool with two of him doing it. Plus lee know looked so good at his little part. The clapping part they do before the final I just know that's going to go crazy on tour. The ending is hands down my favorite part of the song because tell me why I see the song was almost over and went "Huh Changbin doesn't have that many lines and he did rap like at all normally that's sometime they do." but then the rap of 2racha was insane and the lyrics are so good. Because it really talks about how much they have build over the years and even though they have gotten so much they start by themselves and made their own name.

1) Figured this out.

And on the other hand, I wrote my biological father a letter a few months ago calling him out on the shit he was saying to family about the trans people who are his kids and grandkids, and he tried to lie to my face about it while saying "it's just my traditional ways."

My FIL is in frequent contact with all of his children and is visited by them regularly. My father's grandkids haven't spoken to him in years, and 2/3 of his children don't talk to him at all. My mom respects our names & pronouns, even if she doesn't "get it" or whatever,* and I text with her pretty much every day.

It's Granddad's choice whether or not he wants to be lonely.

The doctor scraped out a bit of earwax to have a better look inside.

I was sent a bill for $200 PER EAR for this 5 second procedure which I did not give permission for them to do.

That was key- they did not ASK me if they could do this "procedure". And, as I OWN a medical practice (it's me. The medical practice is me, sitting in my house on video calls) I knew to call them when this bill came in to be like "You did not obtain informed consent for this procedure, and it was not en emergency procedure. You had full ability to gain my consent and didn't. I'm not paying."

And the massive hospital who owned the bill said "yuh-huh you do have to pay."

And I said "I own a practice. I know these laws. I do not owe you money for this."

And they conducted an "internal review" and SURPRISE! Decided I totally owed them money and they had never done anything wrong ever.

And so I called my state's Attorney General office, and explained the situation because, as I mentioned, I know the law. The AG got in touch within a couple days to say they were taking the case and would send the massive hospital conglomerate a knock it off, guys letter.

Lo and Behold, today I have a letter where said hospital graciously has agreed to forfeit the payment.

"How not to get screwed over by companies" should be part of civics class.

Know your rights and know who to call when they're infringed on. This whole process cost me $0 and honestly less effort than I would have expected.

Civics class wouldn't help most people in this case because the AG will not take on all these cases and most people cannot afford an attorney in this instance or more importantly, the hit to their credit.

Were they going to get into a lawsuit over my $400 bill? No obviously not. But they printed up a letter on fancy letterhead to say to stop and it worked. They followed up with me the next day to be sure, and so ask how much money they had saved me.

They use dinky cases like mine to track habitual misbehavior of large scale companies to build cases they could actually go to court over.

And because people are shocked- I never spoke to the AG of my state directly. He operates mainly by overseeing a whole crew of people. And this is what those people do.

This didn’t happen because I’m special because of my tiny therapy practice.

This happened because this is what the AG office is for.

“The problem is systemic” doesn’t mean “and there’s nothing you can do”.

Then you've been trained well by "The System".

Yes, that System you say can't be fought? Where did you get that idea, huh? Who taught you that "small" acts of illegality don't matter? Who made you think that there's no point in fighting back because it will all come to nothing?

Might it be the same entities that benefit if you believe all that?

Gonna pause and let you ponder.

Never. Ever. EVER.

EVER.

Let companies or corporations or hospitals or organizations or any business big or small get away with screwing you over without a fight. Maybe you personally don't win every fight, but you lose 100% of the time you don't try. You'll win more often than you think you will. I know cuz I've done it.

So have others. Attorneys General offices bring lawsuits against businesses all the time. They do so because citizens contacted them to say "someone is doing a crime" and the crime doers did not stop when told and got into way more trouble than if they'd just stopped. FAFO. The Find Out can't happen if you don't even bother to report the Fucking Around.

On that note, as OP said, please know your rights! And, in a situation where you don't but suspect something is hinky, ask! The people of the internet can help! So can librarians! So can many others. Find out what is and is not okay for them to do. If it's not okay, report them! See something, say something.

Don't let the System win by default.

If you believe The System™️ is only for Them™️ and not you, it will only ever be so.
