Remember if they have read you your rights. If they have not, you have been illegally detained and can tell your lawyer this when they arrive. Tell them ‘They have not yet read me my rights’, or if they delayed until the precinct to read your rights, tell them this too. Anything you say before your rights are read to, but after you were detained, becomes inadmissible to a court of law. If they have read you your rights and you asked for a lawyer however, things you say before the lawyer arrives ARE admissible, so say NOTHING AT ALL.  

You are also entitled to more than one phone call. Hollywood has taught you that you get ‘one phone call’ and if you didn’t call a lawyer then you no longer get the lawyer. YOU DO. You get more than one phone call, and if you ask for a lawyer they legally cannot continue trying to question you. 

IF YOU ARE A MINOR: They are also required to have a social worker present.

INVOKE SILENCE. INVOKE A LAWYER. 

These are not things ‘guilty’ people do, these are things that protect you. You have rights.  Remember:

What we're NOT getting is that 'slow dopamine' that's more sustainable and engaging. That's the kind we get from DOING things that take effort but are ultimately rewarding.

So like, she suggested that writing fic and making fanart are ways to balance the quick dopamine of watching a show/reading fic with the slow dopamine of working at something that takes effort.

FOR SCIENCE!

Anyone on the internet can make an email and copyright strike you, (which automatically takes your video down from the site-) and you have to give them your FULL LEGAL NAME in order to have your video put back up.

Let’s be honest - we all forget to leave a comment sometimes. We don’t always go out of our way to click the “come talk to me on tumblr” link on AO3 to scream about the fic in the author’s inbox. On August 21st I encourage you to take a moment and show fanfic writers that you appreciate them!

How can you do it?

leave a comment and kudos on every fic you finish reading. Doesn’t matter how short. Doesn’t matter if you’re just repeating what other people have already said. Just be kind! Keysmashing, Caps Lock, and live commenting appreciated! (Bonus points if you leave a comment on every chapter)

ideas for what to put in a comment: one | two | three | four

floaty review box for ao3 (super useful for commenting as you read + it has a ‘review tips’ button if you feel stuck)

reblog ficlets, drabbles, fics, fic rec posts, etc. Put a nice comment in the tags. Remember that likes, while appreciated, don’t give the writer any exposure, meaning the posts don’t reach more people

go to your local fanfic writer’s inbox and talk to them about their fic of your choice. Let them know how long ago you’ve read it and what story point/sentence/scene still makes you smile when you think about it

send thank you messages to fic writers. In a world where you have to pay for almost everything, they’re supplying you with countless hours of free entertainment. It can get quite lonely without getting messages acknowledging the hours they spend writing stories - let them know their time and effort is appreciated

make fic rec posts and @ the authors whose fics you’re recommending! (believe me, fic writers love to see their stories in these posts)

create something inspired by a fic! You can draw fanart, make a moodboard or aesthetic post, or even write a song for the fic you love. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro doesn’t matter - the thought alone is what counts more than anything <3

buy the writer a coffee if they have a ko-fi page and you have some change lying around c: Caffeine keeps most fic writers awake when they struggle with a particularly slow draft or a difficult scene. More coffee, more words.
