Any time somebody argues that you should avoid the use of obvious pop culture references and current slang in prose fiction in order to avoid "dating" the text, I'm reminded that our primary evidence for when several of Shakespeare's plays were written is that their dialogue quotes specific pieces of contemporary popular media, and that there's strong evidence many of the words he's credited by modern authorities with inventing are literally just contemporary youth slang. Like, if it's good enough for Shakespeare it's good enough for me, buddy!

"Queer Liberation Library was founded by a small group of volunteers who wanted to ensure queer reading materials were accessible to people throughout the country, regardless of what's available at local libraries."

Queer Liberation Library makes diverse, LGBTQ+ literature accessible throughout U.S.  by Kayleigh Padar, Windy City Times

Controversial opinion but people on Twitter/TikTok wouldn’t be capable of surviving true toxic yaoi/yuri. What they really want is a tsundere character being mean once and then immediately apologizing for it…try giving them something truly toxic like manipulation, controlling behavior, passive aggressiveness and such and they will complain about how the writer is homophobic or is portraying the relationship wrong and is ruining the gays

#media #toxic yaoi #toxic yuri #people couldn’t handle shuake back in the day and they aren’t even that bad #killing stalking is actually a good example of toxic yaoi but no one is ready for that combo #they want to romanticize toxic yaoi but they can’t bc it’s toxic and bad actually so they just turn it into annoying tsundere stuff #don’t be cowards

America Under Occupation

AIPAC ORDERED CONGRESS TO SAY :

“Reports that people are starving in Gaza are false”

“Israel is not blocking the delivery of aid to Gaza”

“The United States must not fall into Hamas trap”

“There is no genocide in Gaza”

“HAMAS beaded babies”

“HAMAS raped Israeli hostages”

America is occupied by a foreign power.

AIPAC is a foreign agent that serves Israeli interests and not America’s.

AIPAC and israel pose a clear and present danger to America and Americans.

Working in news involves seeing the language evolve from

"the Israel-Hamas war, started on Oct 7 when Hamas attacked and killed 1200 Israelis" to "the Israel-Hamas war, started on Oct 7 when Hamas attacked and killed 1200 Israelis, and has resulted in 34,000 Palestinian deaths"

and today there is a story that says the protesters are against "the Israeli violence in Gaza." It's a small story, focused on protests, not the war itself, but I still said "holy shit" out loud.

so, don't think that raising awareness isn't anything, because hot damn the media Overton window is being dragged over on this.

I love it when people draw fanart of fantasy adventurers in present-day AUs and they want their outfits to show off their muscles to the same extent as their original costumes, so they basically settle on having them dress like obnoxious gym rats. Most of the time they don't even seem to be aware of what they're implying about these characters' lifestyles, but I live close enough to a gym that it's inescapable for me. Your modern AU version of what's-her-name has 100% attempted to break the ice on a date by rambling about protein supplements, all right? I'm imagining her putting her maximum bench press in her Twitter bio and you can't stop me.

I love the "came back wrong" trope but from the opposite side.

Imagine you are dead. And then you are RIPPED from the embrace of decay into the world of the living again. Your memories are hazy and you don't recognize any of these people, but they act like they're close to you? Like they love you? So you try to get your memories back, to act like you belong here, but everybody tries to forget you died. And you can't. It is omnipresent. And just trying to grapple with that fact pushes the people who "love" you away, and they're incapable of understanding, and they're so confused, what's wrong N̶̄̀O̶͛͗T̷̉́ ̷͋͝Y̴̎̌Ȍ̴̈U̸̓R NÄM̴̃͑E̵̾̇? And you just need them to understand, you aren't that person! You aren't! You don't know who that person is! You don't know why any of this is happening, but they're unwilling to bend, they keep insisting you are that person, your memories will come back, everything will be normal again, and you want to scream and cry and claw yourself open to show them you're different. Your existence as a being wholly separate from whoever you "used to be" is a sin unto itself. All you can do is scrabble for life and to them, you're killing whoever they loved to do it.

just. lots of fun in that concept, you know?
