Sapphire's Random Thoughts

That's right! It is that time of the year already. We are very excited to present you our team for 2026!

Let's see who are the mods working hard behind the scentes to bring the Asanoya Exchange to you this year! 🤍🤎

Thank you! They absolutely are still open, and I’m more than happy to write more ace/aroace!Phineas. It’s one of my favorite headcanons, and I love getting to explore it. <3 (This also isn't the last you'll see of this! I have an Isabella POV fic in the works, that'll touch some more on things.)

Disclaimer: This isn't beta'd like my normal stuff, so forgive me for any mistakes; they're all my own. WC: ~1,200 Warnings: None

Phineas was pushing it pretty close to curfew, not that Mom and the Dads would be that upset if he missed it, as long as he texted one of them to let them know.

He'd dropped Isabella off at her door, getting a soft, lingering hug and a kiss on the cheek for his efforts, and hurried across the street to get home. The smile on his face was starting to hurt, but they'd had so much fun on their friend date!

The light above the back door was still on, so he didn't bother pulling out his keys, instead heading straight inside.

Mom was sitting at the kitchen table by herself, drinking a cup of tea, and she greeted, "Hey, honey."

"Hi, Mom!" he said cheerfully. His shoes got kicked off into the pile by the door, and he padded his way toward the stairs.

"Phineas hon, could you hold on one second?" Mom asked.

no but you can FORCE it away. use ublock origin and copy paste the blacklist i made into the filters to be able to remove the bullshit AI overview that google forces. it also removes youtube's forced ads (at least until they fix it)

you can also use the ublacklist extension and use this blacklist of AI image generation websites to curate your google image results

I entered "telemarketer" and clicked the wikipedia logo and it took me directly to this page:

blame @mari-monsta for this

1. Amnesia storyline trope

2. Fake dating but only in the context of two strangers bumping into each other and spontaneously playing along (she does not like when its friends agreeing to it ahead of time)

3. A quirky little wizard that causes problems

Kogane: Wait, so "Mad Dog" isn't even like a proper nickname?

Kyotani: NO! it's just something that asshole Oikawa called me. And I hate it. I've always hated it.

Kogane: Well if it's not your preferred nickname we can always give you something better.

Tsukki: Yeah, you really hate it?

Kyotani: YES. It's so annoying. I hate nick names in general, just call me-

Tsukki, the worst person to tell when something annoys you: Mad Frog.

Kogane: Ohhhhhhh Mad Frog

Kyotani:

mushroom: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters

as a polish queer woman and human rights activist, i know exactly how you're feeling right now and what to expect from these elections. i lived through the 2015-2023 regime of pis, a right-wing populist party that divided families in the same way trump did. i’ve experienced the rise of fascism in poland, the influence of far-right parties like konfederacja, and their “santa’s little helpers”—ordo iuris, an ultra-conservative catholic organization (banned in many countries, mind you) that helped enforce a near-total abortion ban and runs anti-queer campaigns in public spaces. i supported the black protests in 2016 as a middle schooler when they first tried to ban abortion. as an adult, i actively participated in the 2020 women’s strike, running from police tear gas daily after they finally passed the ban. i supported friends who faced charges.

i’ve lived through intense homophobia in poland as a queer teen and adult. i survived the first pride march in my hometown, where far-right extremists threw stones and glass at us. i endured the anti-queer propaganda spread by the ruling party in state-owned media. i survived the “rainbow night,” poland’s own stonewall moment in summer 2020, when police arrested around 50 queer activists following the arrest of margo, a nonbinary activist. i survived the "lgbt-free zones," the targeted violence, the slurs from strangers on the street, and the protests i held against queerphobia. it was hard as fuck, but i survived.

but just because i survived, it doesn’t mean others did. many women died because of the abortion ban—marta, justyna, izabela, dorota, joanna, maria, and many others who didn’t survive pis’s draconian anti-abortion laws. milo, kacper, michał, zuzia (she was 12), wiktor, and other queer and trans kids and young adults took their own lives because of the relentless queerphobia.

despite all of this, our experience in poland can serve as a guide now. here are some tips for staying safe and how we, polish queers and women, organized under the regime:

safety first, always. if you know someone who’s had an abortion, no you don’t. if you know someone is trans, no you don’t. if you know people who help with safe abortions, no you don’t—at least not until you know it’s 100% safe to share. if you are queer or have had an abortion, only share this with people you trust fully. most importantly, not everyone has to be an activist just because they’re part of a minority. if it feels unsafe to share that you're queer, trans, etc., then don’t. it doesn’t make you any less queer.

use secure, encrypted messaging like signal for conversations on potentially risky topics, such as queerness, abortion, organizing counter-actions, protests—anything that might be used against you.

stay anonymous online. if you want to research or report something without surveillance, do not use regular internet. get a vpn (mullvad is affordable and reliable), download the tor browser (for both onion and standard links), and if you plan to whistleblow, consider using a riseup email account.

organize and build networks. community is everything now. support each other, foster independence, because your government won’t have your back. set up collectives, grassroots movements. create lists of trusted professionals—lawyers, doctors, etc.—who can offer support.

to lawyers and doctors: please consider pro-bono work. this is what got us through poland’s hardest times. your work will be needed now more than ever.

for protests or risky actions: always write a pro-bono lawyer’s number on your arm with a permanent marker.
