The people of West Ham often forgot that Allie Pressman and Sam Eliot were cousins. Actually, the people of West Ham usually forgot about them period. If they did think about them, it was only ever as Cassandra’s sister and the deaf kid, not as actual people. But Sam and Allie had grown up together, they were cousins, they understood each other in a way that no one else could. Sam knew how Allie both loved and hated the relative safety of Cassandra’s shadow, knew how easily her parents overlooked her in favour of their perfect, and sick, eldest daughter. Allie knew how Sam felt like his parents never saw beyond his deafness and sexuality, and just how terrified of his brother he really was. But they weren’t just cousins — after all, Cassandra and Campbell were their cousins too. No, Sam and Allie were best friends and had been for their entire lives and that? That changes everything.
Welcome to my The Society fic series, City Is A Graveyard! Who We Were Then is the first of five fics in the series, and it’s a pre-canon AU in which Sam and Allie are best friends as well as cousins! Basically, it was born from me going (and I quote) “Listen you’d can’t give me a traumatized teenager with sibling issues and imposter syndrome and a traumatized teenager who’s gay and deaf and have them be family and expect me to care about anything else ever”, especially when you throw in Lord Of The Flies on top of that!
Rest assured, Becca is still the iconic best friend we know and love (to both Sam & Allie), Will is still one of Allie’s closest friends, Grizz is always everyone’s favourite, and we’ll still have plenty of pre-Hallie goodness (leading into full Hallie in later fics), but I was disappointed by how few fics I could find that really explored the Pressman-Eliot family, so here we are!
I will eventually make introductions for each fic in the series (and hopefully I’ll get to writing it soon), but here’s a breakdown of the plan for anyone who’s interested
Who We Were Then — pre-New Ham, some of Sam and Allie’s childhood but mostly focused on their junior year leading up to getting on the busses in 1x01; pre-Hallie & Grizzam
Fear Can’t Hurt You Anymore Than A Dream — no New Ham AU, where the students come back from a camping trip and the world is exactly as they left it, will follow the end of their junior year into senior year; eventual Hallie & Grizzam
Maybe There Is A Beast (Maybe It’s Only Us) — canon AU, the kids get off the busses in New Ham, exploring how a closer bond between Allie & Sam (and how that changed their junior year) would change the events of the show; still eventual Hallie & Grizzam
It Sounds Better Than It Is, This Business Of Surviving — post canon, the kids make it back to West Ham and have to find a way to return to ‘normal’ after everything they’ve been through; Hallie & Grizzam
We Are The Kids That You Can Never Kill — post canon, the kids make it back to West Ham only to find that everyone who died in New Ham woke up back in West Ham at their exact time of death, now they all have to return to ‘normal’ surrounded by people they’d mourned and people they’d killed; Hallie & Grizzam
I’m very excited about this project and will definitely be trying to make more edits & posts about it (and hopefully writing it lmao) so if you’d like to be tagged in anything for it, feel free to let me know!

I think what made me the happiest about the Kendrick v Drake beef was that for a moment there, we were all listening to rap as rap is meant to be listened to. Active listening, media comprehension, focused, fun, and all to the sound of the spilled blood of a man's career being curb stomped. Generational experience. 10/10 would experience for the first time again.

“For example, if you’re trying to convince people to boycott a segregated store, your object is to convince them that boycotting the store will have a strategic effect, not that desegregation is morally important. For whatever reason, on a cognitive level human beings have a really hard time with this. Smucker cites an example of a Lefty roleplaying session where people were tasked with selling an action to people who agreed with them on principle but didn’t see the strategic merit of the action. Surprisingly, the sellers couldn’t make the conceptual switch to sell strategic merit: instead, they doubled down on THIS ISSUE IS IMPORTANT — even though it had been stressed to them that the people they were selling to bought into the importance of the issue. People react poorly to “this is important, so do WHATEVER I SAY”; they want to be convinced that what you’re proposing will work.”
“Bob Wing, a grassroots organizer, explains this nicely: “If winning feels impossible, then righteousness can seem like the next best thing.” But righteousness is not conducive to getting normies to join your team if your team cannot demonstrate ability to, at least sometimes, win. Nor does righteousness help you make real inroads with regular people.”

Polycule but it’s just two people in a romantic relationship with each other and their third who’s pretty obviously aroace but also somehow so deeply intertwined in their lives that it’d just be wrong to not count them as involved. Is this anything.
It's called an EZRide+ and you can learn where to find them here. They're about $1100 US as of June 2026, but you might need to buy additional parts to attach them to your chair, depending on the style of chair.
Remember to put links to products like this, they're usually hard to find and a lot of people need to know they exist.

Can we include darebee.com with ao3 and wikipedia on our list of really good nonprofits with excellent services that we stan?
It's a free, no sign-up, no ads fitness resource created by professionals who view this as activism (fitness should be accessible to everyone), and it's very thoughtful and thorough.
Features I really like:
- all instructions for workout routines are diagrammed on single pages with a clean, easy to read layout
- there's 30 or 60 day programs you can follow if you, like me, don't know what to do. they take you through a rotation of workouts so you're working different muscle groups on different day for a specific purpose
- there's so much variety and there's a filter so you can find the level and your goals and type of workout you wanna do
- you don't need any equipment
- some of the programs are RPGs or adventure stories! How's that for motivation. There's also badges and achievements or something but I haven't looked that closely at how that works yet
- they're nerds. they name workouts after D&D classes. There's a Lannistrr workout, a batcave workout, a witcher workout
i genuinely can't fucking deal with the larger internet anymore holy shit what the fuck are you people TALKING about. i am at my limit with this stupid bullshit. who the fuck cares if a man is hired to draw medical diagrams for young girls jesus christ we're pearl clutching about medical illustrations now? next you're gonna tell me male pediatricians shouldn't advise parents on their kids' vulva issues? male surgeons shouldn't be in the room when performing a procedure where a woman's breasts or vulva might be exposed? male researchers shouldn't conduct gynecological medical research? sure. better for men to live in ignorance and NEVER ally themselves with us to expand access to sexual education and reproductive healthcare i fucking guess. Twenty thousand likes. i hate it here KILL ME
