if any of you fuckers put that new Harry Potter show on my dash I am blocking your ass

i do not want to live in the fucking panopticon fuck the camera that blinks above me at work, the tv watching me at the store, the "smile you're on camera" signs, the ring cameras, the flock cameras, the apps to track your child or partner, the activist friends telling me "just assume everything you do in public is being recorded somewhere", the government building protester databases, the teslas recording every move all around them, the knowledge that everything i type or search or save is being tracked and logged, the ads and search suggestions that mysteriously know what i was just talking about, the way biometrics keep creeping into more places, the way my car spies on me, the way my phone spies on me, the way there is nowhere to go to get away from it!!! no wonder the internet is full of vindictive little stalkers and witchhunts when it's the water and the air of society from the culture to the infrastructure

Destroy the myth that libraries are no longer relevant. If you use your library, please reblog.

Please be nice to creatures. They may look different from us. They may look scary. But they did not choose to look this way- and with an open mind you can see the beauty in life forms different than we are. They are not movie monsters out to get you, they are just little guys trying to survive this big scary world. When given the chance, spiders can be quite cute! You can choose kindness. Choose kindness.

this is a Christmas post for you to like and unlike over and over to see the little snowy animation they have rn

I’m putting you on blast because hello, I have a YYH OC, I have several friends with YYH OCs, and now they will know about you~

Aaaaaaa thank you so much!!! 😭😭😭

I’m about to follow every person in this thread if I’m not already doing so

the wisdom ive learnt is that becoming part of a friend group 1) takes a long time and 2) involves a lot of feeling awkward and left out at first. there’s nothing terrible about this but if you grew up chronically lonely or have any kind of trauma relating to social isolation this likely feels Really Wrong and activates danger signals. but both fortunately and unfortunately it’s just how becoming close to new people works most of the time

another thing that was not intuitive to me as someone who grew up an autistic loner: basically everyone on the planet is starved for connection all the time and almost everything people do is an attempt to reach out to another. most seemingly illogical interactions and behaviours can be explained by this. you have to take as many of these invitations as you can. even if you're wrong you still attempted to bring more warmth into the world

Not only is having worldbuilding threads that are mentioned once and never picked up again not a flaw in fantasy media, I'd go so far as to say that a lack of such threads is a flaw. If everything ties up in one neat little package, you're missing the point of fantasy worldbuilding. Like, don't do it on every page, or your setting is going to be an overstuffed mess, but every so often you are not only allowed but obligated to casually drop some utterly batshit worldbuilding detail and then just never follow up on it. Maybe some rocks are sentient. You don't owe your reader an explanation. Just fucking go for it.

Oh this one is DELIGHTFUL.
