less fandom squealing than expected tbh

Do not use the website called Sci-Hub!

It lets people access scientific articles for free. This is dangerous. It helps the free flow of knowledge and reduces the competitive edge of all the people who worked really hard to have been born into a wealth.

Like, it’s literally a website where you can type in the DOI of an article and read it, without ever having to pay the publisher who exploited the author.

Like if you want to read basically any physics, math, or CS paper, arXiv.org will have you covered, because everyone uploads their papers there before submitting to a journal (and generally updates it after peer review). I know all of my papers are on there. This is such common practice that journals have it baked into their licensing agreements that authors retain the right to upload their work to these places.

No but this bit is SO fucking funny to me. Engendale really thought he had a prayer of winning. He's fighting a pissed off Qifrey, master water witch, in the middle of the sea. And he says, "I will not enjoy this." No you won't, buddy, Qifrey's gonna break you like a glowstick, and you can bet your ass he's going to enjoy it a lot.

Well gee whiz, Qifrey, considering what a magnet for gossip you've always been, I wonder what could have possibly happened in his childhood that made Olruggio Like This???

Children placed in residental schools were abused, murdered, and sold into arranged marriages with white men. More recently, children "adopted" out into white households are often also subjected to the same, as well as forcibly converted to Christianity.

IF we could trust the government

IF racism, ableism, classism, homophobia and every other prejudice under the sky were not in play

IF every single asshole desperate to pretend that there bullshit is an axe worth grinding wouldn't get all up in that shit

IF all the power trippers in waiting wouldn't just love to be part of that system

IF corruption and cruelty were not rampant

Then yes, a test to make sure you understand that babies scream a lot, toddlers are difficult and teenagers are more so and your child may be autistic and LGBT+ and disabled and a conservative and a liberal and really into prog music and that obsessed with one cartoon and will learn from you actions not your words and as a parent it is your duty and your privileged to love and protect that child no matter what would be lovely

But if those conditions were met we probably wouldn't need the test

This has been happening all month with little to no international media attention. Here are a few organizations you can check out for resources or to support:

ActionAid India

SEEDS India

GlobalGiving
