“PD concept sketches, 2016 🌸 now I can finally share this part of the page 💎 thank you to everyone who tuned in for the premiere of #StevenUniverseFuture”
“If a person can’t get out of bed, something is making them exhausted. If a student isn’t writing papers, there’s some aspect of the assignment that they can’t do without help. If an employee misses deadlines constantly, something is making organization and deadline-meeting difficult. Even if a person is actively choosing to self-sabotage, there’s a reason for it — some fear they’re working through, some need not being met, a lack of self-esteem being expressed. People do not choose to fail or disappoint. No one wants to feel incapable, apathetic, or ineffective. If you look at a person’s action (or inaction) and see only laziness, you are missing key details. There is always an explanation. There are always barriers. Just because you can’t see them, or don’t view them as legitimate, doesn’t mean they’re not there. Look harder. Maybe you weren’t always able to look at human behavior this way. That’s okay. Now you are. Give it a try.”

— “Laziness Does Not Exist” by E Price on Medium
(And a footnote I didn’t see explicitly covered in the article: laziness still doesn’t exist when it is you yourself making no progress and not knowing why. You deserve that respect and consideration, too, even from yourself.)
Okay guys this is kinda important. GQ just came in the mail and for the first time in a long while it had a really important article…
I just sat here for like the last half hour reading this and I’m incredibly appalled at our justice system in regards to the military. The article interviews about 23 men who have all been sexually assaulted in some branch of the military. The PTSD from sexual assault in the military is more prevalent than PTSD from combat…
If you have a chance I suggest reading this article…and the title is a quote that one of the victims Doctor told him…
Sorry if this has been asked before or if it’s really simple but when does taking ideas and inspiration from something become plagiarism or copying? I know people love to act like ideas are entirely their own and unique so I just want to know what an appropriate use of an idea is.
Plagiarism is one of those concepts whose definition changes depending on context, and I’m far from qualified to speak on does or does not fit those various definitions.
In broad terms, plagiarism is most often understood as taking someone else’s words, copying them, and pretending that you were the one who wrote them. But that’s just one definition. When it comes to ideas, things get more complicated.
In fandom spaces, where we’re all so enmeshed with the same tropes and the same canon, it’s difficult to be sure that someone copied and idea instead of coming up with it independently. That said, I think there’s a difference between having the same basic plot idea as someone else and having the same plot idea with the same subplot idea and the same red herring that sends the characters on the same wild goose chase in the third act. Y’know?
If you know that someone else has written a similar idea before you, it’s nice to give them a shoutout.
For more information on how AO3 views plagiarism, I encourage you go read the Terms of Service on Content Policies - specifically section E.
