Things are rough politically but know that the space riders fandom is LGBTQA+ friendly! everyone deserves the right to love who they want, and you're either 100% with us or not.
I had the unfortunate experience of having to read a couple of post from people in this fandom that were like "oh i love the LGBT but i don't :))) SuPPoRt or AgReE witH YoUr LiFeStyle :))) BUT I STILL LOVE YOU GUYS IM NOT HOMOPHOBIC TRUST" trust me it is NOT the type of allyship you think it is :).
Ahem
Homosexuality is practiced in over 1.5k species accross the world
Humans are the only one's that practice homophobia :)
Gay rights, trans right, are human rights. if you don't agree with me, you are not welcomed in my spaces

Not sure why it's a new trend among fic readers to assume if the fic has not been posted within the week it's inappropriate to comment on it, like the fic has to be hot out of the oven to give feedback for.
I got a comment on a fic that is less than a year old and it was mostly an apology for being a comment on an "old fic" and how late they were in commenting.
Just comment on the fic. Doesn't matter how old it is.
I’m so proud of people living with chronic health conditions. That shit is HARD. Idk who needs to hear this, but if no one else has said it: I’m proud of you. You’re sticking it out through so much pain and grief. That’s no small feat.
Every small thing you do for yourself health adds up. The grief is heavy and it comes from a place of love. The grief knows the pain is wronging you.
I’m proud of you. I hope on the good days you can be proud of yourself.
Hi this psa is brought to you by my boss nearly killing us via carbon monoxide poisoning.
Heaters like this are labelled for Indoor/Outdoor usage, however that indoor label is misleading af.
Indoors in this context means a drafty garage or car port, not your living room or bedroom. Unless the room you're in is well ventilated with fresh air, don't use this fucker indoors.
Please reblog for visibility, this could quite literally save a life.
as someone with experience in the discord console, unfortunately they made it a little trickier than just ctrl + shift + i about four years ago, i believe.
specifically what you're going to want to do is find settings.json in %appdata%/discord or the mac equivalent which is found with finder > go > go to folder. there is a setting there titled "DANGEROUS_ENABLE_DEVTOOLS_ONLY_ENABLE_IF_YOU_KNOW_WHAT_YOURE_DOING": and if it is not, copy and paste "DANGEROUS_ENABLE_DEVTOOLS_ONLY_ENABLE_IF_YOU_KNOW_WHAT_YOURE_DOING": true into the .json and then, only then you can do crtl + shift + i or command + option + i on mac.

Information for anyone who wants to make a donation in support of Ukraine:
Hospitallers - Ukrainian volunteer medical battalion, which provides first aid and evacuates wounded Ukrainian soldiers
Ukrainian charity fund "Come Back Alive"
Ukrainian charity foundation of Serhiy Pritula
United24 - the official platform for collecting charitable donations in support of Ukraine
Sternenko Foundation (drones for the UAF)
These are the main platforms that most Ukrainians (myself included) regularly use to donate to support our armed forces. Ukraine needs the military aid, because only through victory we can achieve peace. Russia's only goal is to destroy us. If russia is not defeated, there will be no future for Ukraine.
These funds buy vehicles for the evacuation of the wounded, thermal imagers, body armor and everything else our defenders need to survive.
Why you should NOT donate to the Red Cross
Any help, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated.
Thank you ❤️
Thought experiment to all the "people pleasers": imagine you find out everyone who calls themselves your friend is just with you out of pity and gets no enjoyment from it. You are doing the exact same shit but call it a pretty name
I think it's best explained with the real life exaple of why I feel strongly about people pleasers. My experience with a people pleaser was that she kept hanging out with me despite not enjoying my company to the point where she exploded, blamed me for her anxiety and broke the friendship. This all happened out of the blue despite me asking multiple times to tell me if she was ok with me talking about problems in my life with her (but not exclusively because of that). Because she was a people pleaser she did not establish any boundaries to ensure my comfort and I only found out it had been hurting her all the time when she reached her limit and exploded on me. I spent quite some time after that absolutely paranoid about all my friends actually being people pleasers who hated being with me but didn't know how to say no and to this day I sometimes have to seek reassurance that my friends actually enjoy whatever activity they're doing with me and are not just agreeing to keep me happy while slowly building up their hate towards me.
The healthiest thing you can do in a relationship is say no. If my friend at any point had said "I'd rather not talk about this topic" or "I would like to stop playing this game" there would have been no problem.
Even if it had not exploded on my face and caused me psychological issues, I want to live in a world in which my friends are happy for real, not pretending to be happy for my comfort. The idea that someone I care about could be lying and stepping over their own comfort "for my sake" feels horrible.
AO3 is not goodreads. It is not the NYT bestseller list.
You paid no money to read these stories. They are, in fact, a labor of love, done on the off time in the off hours of people who are writing for the joy of writing and the joy of the story.
Your ratings are not appreciated. Not by other readers, who don't know you from adam. Not by fandom-savvy passerby.
And not, in fact, by the author. Who again: Wrote this for fun. In their spare time - around work, around family and friend commitments. Around the rest of their lives. Fandom clout almost never "pays off" in any monetary gains, in any form of physical or financial security.
So please stop "rating" us on something we do for joy.
Today, a fellow fanauthor shared this with me. It was not on any story of my own, but they understandably needed a moment to go "wtf" and process it all. With their permission, I now share this with you.
You won't find this comment on AO3 anymore, by the by.
I have... a lot of issues with this. First of all being something that would be a C-grade in any US school system is not a "Good Rating" for most folks, but many of my issues would be the same even in this commenter had rated this a 10/10.
It boils down to this:
Why are you grading us on something we all are here to do solely for fun and personal enjoyment? Why does it have to be good?
Why can't it just be a labor of love and of joy to be good enough for you, dear commenter?
Do I, as a fanauthor, want to write well? Sure! I do want to write good stories. But I didn't ask random readers to grade me on them. Not in bookmarks that I can easily check, and certainly not in my comments section.
And I never will want them to.
Every author I've talked to agrees. Is there someone out there who might want this? Sure. Most likely, even! The human experience and desires are broad and varied. But in my experience, if they do exist in Fandom, they're the vast minority.
So please:
This is a very often a no-payment gift economy! If you make yourself condescending down to the people writing free works for you, you may find that there's suddenly no more writing for you to read! 👀
I know the culture of fandom has changed to the point that I am not up on what The Youth are doing and haven't been for awhile. That said. I am just a person who likes the same TV show as you. Talk to me like a person, not like a service provider.
dear usamerican high schoolers looking for a way to resist fascism: sit through the pledge of allegiance.
no getting up. no looking at the flag.
everyone will be looking at you. you'll be sweating like a fucking hippopotamus. your teacher will sternly tell you to get up. you'll feel stupid and that maybe its not worth it because you're just a kid in a classroom. but I'm here to remind you that there are no real life consequences to detention. there are however real life consequences to resisting a thoughtless performance of nationalism.
not to talk tough but i have sat through every pledge of allegiance in my life, and that includes the bush administration's hyper-patriotic war on terror.
you can NOT be compelled to say the pledge, and that also means you can't be given the 'choice' of doing it or taking a punishment. being sent into the hall is a grey area.
if you are punishing for refusing, parents or a more sympathetic teacher (like say a history or english teacher) can step in to intercede with the principal. do not be afraid to escalate.
it is critical now of all times that you PRACTICE civil disobedience, starting small, sticking to it, and working up, this will help you learn how very much disobedience you can actually get away with in this life, which is actually a hell of a lot.
putting into motion the ban on an entertainment app that’s popular with the youth and young adults in your country just so you can swoop in at the last minute and play the hero who saves the day and actually brings the app back for everybody is such a cartoonishly supervillain plot, you’d think it came out of the children’s tv show. but no, it came out of the brain of the president-elect of the united states

The latest 11.0 update means that Google Analytics is a thing on the switch and turned on. What that means is that Nintendo has a deal with Google to share with them your data for advertisement purposes.
To turn it off
go to the eShop
go to your profile where your funds and account info is
go down to the bottom of the page
there you will see “Google Analytics Preferences”
select the Change
select “Don’t Share”
Please spread the word. Really shitty of Nintendo to just quietly start allowing Google to spy on users for advertising.
the most depressing part is that it's not even kamala's stance on genocide that is costing her the elections. i wish it were. it's people genuinely shifting for trump. but it's the pro-palestine movement that's going to get the blame for it.
obviously she fucked up on that front and on multiple other fronts (an understatement) but if these results have showed anything it's that the alt right white majority will never vote for a black woman even if she were perfect. but liberals will blame arabs for the faults of white nationalism and misogyny. at this point if you're blaming the pro-palestine movement and saying shit like "are you happy now? is this what you wanted?" you're just brimming with anti-arab hatred that you're desperate to release at any given opportunity
so what now? the genocide is still ongoing and the rise of fascism is unimpeded but now people will point to those most affected by it and saying "this is what you wanted, right?" and you and i could spend the next four years arguing and yelling at those people or we can do something that matters.
mahmoud needs to pay his fees in 5 days or he will fail this semester.
amal needs to meet the soaring prices of baby food in gaza for the sake of her daughter maryam.
look out for the vulnerable and watch out for the way people are venting their frustration at fascism by blaming its victims.
please reblog this version. anger without action is nothing. if you feel like this is the end of the world remember that this is just another day of the genocide for those in gaza.
A Cry of Hope: A Family's Journey from the Rubble to Rebuilding 🌟
A Cry of Hope: A Family's Journey from the Rubble to Rebuildi… Hani Yasser needs your support for "Save Hani and His Family: A Campaign to R
War is not just bombing and destruction; it devours our lives, strips us of safety, and takes away all our dreams. My name is Hani, a 26-year-old from Gaza. Despite all the destruction and loss, I still hold on to hope because it is the last thing I have. This is my story and the story of my family, torn apart by war but united by love and resilience. 🌱
Before the War: A Simple Life and Deferred Dreams
Before the war turned our lives into a nightmare, I was striving to achieve my dreams in social work after completing my university studies. I dreamed of contributing to improving people's lives in my community and serving the most vulnerable groups, but the lack of job opportunities in Gaza prevented me from realizing this dream. I had to work as a taxi driver 🚗 to support my large family. It wasn’t what I had planned, but it was the only way to provide for them.
We lived a in a small house in northern Gaza, trying to cope with daily difficulties, but we were together, and that was enough for us.
Then came the war, and it took everything. It turned our lives upside down, and my dreams became like scattered debris. 💔
The War: When Dreams Turned to Ruin
In one moment, we lost everything. Our home was destroyed, and the car that was my livelihood was also wrecked. We fled to the south to escape the bombings, and a tattered tent became our shelter. We now live in a camp where the heat is unbearable , and diseases surround us from all sides. My children and younger siblings live in constant fear 😔, deprived of education and safety. Their childhood was stolen from them, and their daily struggle is to find simple moments of joy in the midst of this destruction. 🎈
Despite all this suffering, hope still shines in our hearts. We believe that with your solidarity, we can rebuild our lives. 🌟
Human Solidarity: Hope in Difficult Times
Despite the distance, we received unexpected support from friends who didn’t know us personally but felt our suffering. One sent us food aid 🍞, and another sent messages of support through social media. These messages and donations renewed hope in our hearts and made us believe that the world has not forgotten our humanity. 💖
Even the support from the local community, though modest, gave us the strength to continue resisting. Some neighbors gave us what they could, offering food and medicine. That assistance was a silent message that solidarity between us can triumph over the horrors of war. 🕊️
Hope for the Future
Hope is what keeps us alive in the hardest moments. One night, I received a message from my brother Salem, who lives in a camp in Greece. He said to me, "One day we will gather in a safe place, and we will live in peace." His words were a ray of light illuminating the dark nights. 🌙
My Family: Resilience in the Face of the Impossible
My Father Yasser (55 years old): He was the pillar of the family, but chronic illnesses have made him unable to work. His health deteriorates day by day, but having him with us is a blessing we cling to. 🙏
My Mother Manal (50 years old): She suffers from diabetes and high blood pressure. Despite needing constant care, her strong will is our source of strength. 💪
My Brother Salem (27 years old): He studied electrical engineering, but had to work as a laborer in a plumbing tools factory. He suffered a severe foot injury, leading to a 70% disability. He decided to leave Gaza in search of treatment and work, and now lives in a camp in Greece. 🌍
My Sister Safaa (23 years old): She is the daily support of the family, working hard to provide food and water for us. 💧🥖
Ibrahim (15 years old): A young boy with a big heart, trying to smile despite all the tough circumstances. 😊
Nasser (7 years old), Bara’a (5 years old), and Adam (3 years old): These children have never known a true childhood, but they try to find simple moments of joy amidst the destruction. Every day they lose a part of their innocence due to the constant fear of bombings and disease. 😢
Our Daily Conditions: Between Poverty and Suffering
Each day in the camp presents a new challenge. We live in a small, dilapidated tent, and suffer from a lack of clean water 💧 and food. Medicines are expensive, and food is scarce. My children can't go to school due to a lack of resources 📚, which increases our psychological suffering. Despite all of this, we try to maintain our spirit and resilience, believing that change is possible with your support. 🌱
Our Campaign Goals: An Urgent Call to Rebuild Our Lives
We now live beneath the rubble, and our goal is to secure the essentials to rebuild our lives:
1. Secure permanent shelter for the family: Build a stable tent to protect my family from the harsh conditions. 🏡
2. Provide medical treatment for my mother and father: Fund treatment to alleviate their suffering. 💉
3. : .Return our children to education: Provide basic educational supplies for the children. 📚
4. Sustainable food support: Provide food for our family on an ongoing basis. 🍞
5. Move the to a safe place: Secure the necessary resources to relocate to a place far from conflict. 🛤️
6. Rebuild our professional lives: Start small projects to ensure financial independence. 🛠️
7. Protect the children from diseases: Secure medical tools and cleaning supplies to protect our children from illness. 🧼
Urgent Appeal
This is not just a story about a family suffering under the rubble; it is a cry of hope and resilience in the face of the impossible. My family desperately needs your support. War has destroyed us, but we have not lost faith in the possibility of rebuilding our lives. We ask you to stand by us in this difficult time, so together we can provide shelter 🏠, treatment 💊, education 📚, and food 🍞 for our children.
Every contribution no matter how small, brings us one step closer to a better life, free from fear and destruction. 🕊
Help us today to protect our future and build a tomorrow full of hope. 🌟

make an awful, ill-conceived, sponsored post about "responsible"/"ethical" uses of ai in writing
immediately get ratio'd in a way i've never seen on tumblr with a small swarm of chastising-to-negative replies and no reblogs
start deleting replies
reply to their own post being like 'agree to disagree!!!' while saying that ai can TOTALLY be ethical because spellcheck exists!! (???) while in NO WAY responding to the criticisms of ai for its environmental impact OR the building of databases on material without author consent, ie, stolen material, OR the money laundering rampant in the industry
when called out on deleting replies, literally messaged me people who called them out to say "We don't have a problem with folks disagreeing with AI. It's the tone of the discourse." So. overtly stated tone policing.
get even MORE replies saying this is a Bad Look, and some reblogs now that people's replies are being deleted
DISABLE REBLOGS when people aren't saying what nano would prefer they say
NaNo When It Started: Join our challenge to bootstrap your own creativity. Write! Let it be bad! Trying is the point and will feel good when you are done!
NaNo Now: Skip the effort. Cheating is for everyone. Get that badge. Pay us.
This is the only post I'll be reblogging about this cuz I've participated in NaNoWriMo once (technically) in private but my goal was to write every day. Because I wanted to try to work on something consistently.
As a disabled writer? Specifically one with brain fog? FUCK the "saying you shouldn't use AI is ableist" thing. What's fucking ableist is implying disabled people can't write their own stories. What's ableist is implying the mediocre plagiarism machine would write better than I do. Fuck that and fuck them and their (gen)AI shilling bullshit.
Everyone I know who used prowritingaid before they went full in on AI has stopped using it because it's basically unusable with how WRONG it is constantly. Some of the "corrections" I've seen are appalling. Egregiously wrong. Like. Suggesting entire paragraphs become a single sentence that's got nothing to do with the paragraph at all. No one should rely on that shit. So for NaNoWriMo to be sponsored by them? Bad in every way.
I just read the plot of this and somehow it gets worse???
the dwarfs are princes under a curse. In order to break the spell, they need a pair of magic red shoes. But currently the red shoes are owned by Snow White, who, get this, has “let herself go” but when she wears the shoes, they show how beautiful she is on the inside—aka thin.
So basically in order for the princes to break the curse, they have to doom Snow White to a life of fatness.
why do they hate us so much.
Saw the movie recently and that’s literally not the plot at all
The advertisement group was disgusting af and when the movie came out it was actually nothing like those ads
The princes need to be loved by a “beautiful” woman but what’s beautiful is an opinion.
Snow white loves her size and strength (yeah she lifts!) but her dad goes missing and no man was willing to help her until she ended up in those red shoes. She doesn’t like what the shoes make her into. She just likes finally being helped.
It’s a love story between her and one of the dwarves where He needs to learn to not judge himself or other’s based off appearances
Spoilers but they get together at the end
He’s a prince again and she stays her cute fat self
Not only do they end up loving each other as they are but the prince also learns to love himself which he really… didn’t for most of the movie because he was so focused on how he looked, obsessively so (granted, I do believe the dialogue this was delivered through was a lil bit clunky but it IS a Korean written movie and sometimes translations from korean to english can sound odd)
But to go back to the matter of fat snow white, as a matter of fact, it is implied throughout the movie that she is under her own curse which is actually the shoes that make her thin and that’s because she likes how she truly looks like, and in the end, when the red shoes are no more and shes fat, that’s when the prince tells her he believes her to be the most beautiful woman in the world and finally means it, having overcome his superficiality
AND that lil shit is smitten with snow white, who remains very much fat and beautiful, by the end of it, just look at him, that heart literally came from his blush I think
Not to mention that the official instagram of the animation studio behind this, I believe Sidus they’re called? I’m on mobile I can’t look it up rn. Anyway, on their official instagram, they rarely ever post art of snow white as red shoes (her thin version) aside from promotional posters and stuff which is intentional. Heres a couple more images of them being cute and in love as themselves
Please support this film if it gets to your country!
Like, as a fat girl, I would have killed to watch a movie like this when I was younger and now that I did watch it, it feels so odd that a fat female protagonist is the subject of affection, exactly because theres a lack of movies that feature that and this is an amazing step in the right direction. This movie has such an important message and it explores superficiality, discrimination of fat people and self love brilliantly for a kids movie and its gonna get buried,,, because the Cannes did the worst possible job at marketing and because of a very black and white tumblr mindset,,,
Also idk if that’s important to anyone else but all the princes have different implied nationalities, theres a british one, a Scottish one, an Irish one, a french one and three italian ones and some portrayals can be a bit stereotypical ngl but it’s just pretty rad to hear accents that arent british or American in a market oversaturated by these countries
