A fan adventure made by someone who isn't a native English speaker, for things like having not quite accurately written character voices and using the mind-controlled Gamzee hc. There might be some parts of the adventure I don't totally jive with either, but I keep it to myself, because that's fanfic etiquette 101.

And a FRAF forum thread made by someone to state their discomfort with how Homestuck and its postcanon handle m/m relationships and Dirk, the token gay guy amidst a sea of mostly bi dudes.

Even some of the mods participate in it. Also d*ngodad is part of the mod team for some reason.

It really makes me appreciate the mspfa discord. It's usually pretty civil over there, at least from what I've seen.

From what I've heard so far, the official HS discord server is, in fact, literal hell. I plan to never go there, partly because I'd be ousted on sight and partly because I genuinely would not get along with their cult mentality. It says everything I need to know about these kinds of people that they're ragging on the writing skills of someone who doesn't even natively speak English. And while I agree Dirk definitely should've been let stay gay and that the m/m relationships could've been happened a lot better, I also believe letting other people's headcanons on that front alone is a rapidly dying virtue. Apparently live and let live just doesn't fucking exist anymore.

I try to keep that mentioned person out of my mouth since they had a really bad reaction to my existence and some of my early anon answers, but of course they're a mod on the discord. Being one of the chosen few explains more or less everything about their online behavior. Becoming an official mod probably only gave them an even bigger ego boost.

Every time I try to write,

All that I can think is “What now?”

And I am not sure really

What I am about.

Maybe if I was a little less myself

I would know.

I am not too good at beginnings

Developing the characters

Having them make connections

Making connections myself

Meeting new people isn't my strong point

So I am sorry if we could have been good friends

Or fallen in love

Or if you could have made me a better person

Or I you

Hello, I am sorry, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.

I am too shut up

Most times I open my mouth to speak

And all that comes out is a weak voice

One that I don't recognize

Maybe if I was a little less myself

We could be friends

Maybe if I wasn't so locked away within myself

Maybe if I wasn't silenced by misplaced guilt

Maybe then beginnings would be easier

I am also not particularly good at middles

Making a plot

Building up to climax

Fueling the passion of my story

Feeding my already made friendships

Keeping up with people isn’t one of my abilities

So I am sorry if we were good friends

Or if we did fall in love

Or if I affected you in the long run

Or if I accidentally blew you off

What’s up? I am sorry I just blanked, could you tell me again?

I am too fearful of aging and seeing those I love age

Most of the time when I am missing a friend

I sit for hours staring at older pictures of us

People who I recognize and remember

Maybe if I was a little less myself

I’d be better at keeping up

Maybe if I wasn’t so caught up with who we were

Maybe if I stopped looking at the wrinkles

Maybe then middles would be easier

I absolutely suck at endings

Tying up the loose ends

Leaving in-story satisfaction

Seeing that it is in fact the end

Knowing that the friendship is over

Accepting the end is one of my biggest struggles

So I am sorry if I keep nagging you

Or if I keep telling you how much I love you

Or if I keep beating a relationship I shot

Or if I don't realize you are blowing me off

Hey, where are you? We always used to meet here on Saturdays

I am too oblivious

Most of the time when it is over I don't notice

I don't see because I do not wish to see

Does anyone? Yes, evidently because their are good endings, not mine

Maybe if I was a little less myself

Maybe if I paid more attention to you

Maybe if I wasn't broken

Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) allows for a formula to "freeze" the child's age at a certain point, potentially keeping them eligible for immigration benefits despite turning 21.

Wondering if you or your child qualifies under the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA)?

On Sept. 25, 2024, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) updated its Policy Manual to clarify the calculation of the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) age for noncitizens seeking CSPA protection under the “extraordinary circumstances” exception. By way of background, CSPA protects dependent children from “aging out” and becoming ineligible for permanent residence as derivative…
