A few days ago it was the birthday of a certain professor who would have done anything to escape from his party! (I'm not the one who finished the fan art late, no no!)

Happy Birthday Professor Snape! 💚💚💚

So Google banned AO3 from showing up in search results in Germany. What now?

Start using (and paying for, if you must) standard VPN services that offer a wide range of international servers to choose from.

Stop using Google. Use Brave, for example. DuckDuckGo has also started filtering content just recently, so don't go there.

For that matter, use different search engines from time to time and avoid those based on google algorithms. Startpage, for example, uses google result. They're committed to privacy but not to neutrality.

Be aware that your government wants to curate your internet experience for you. It's all about control. They treat you like children, so be aware that they're trying to install "child safety" measures that you're probably not even aware of. The internet is a huge open space, but the things they permit you to see are getting fewer by the day, whether it's people, porn, or politics.

De-centralize your own internet experience. Don't use just one social network, one platform, use ALL of them. Just so that in case you're banned somewhere, you have a space to migrate to.

Back up your works. Back up your works. Back up your works. Do not use company-owned cloud spaces as back-up, save your works the old-fashioned way on external devices.

Start looking into peer-to-peer networks and blockchain technoly. Just in case.

BE AWARE THAT THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

hannibal nbc is honestly so unrealistic because explain to me how will graham is apparently the single best fbi profiler around and yet. not once did he catch hannibal staring at his ass. hannibal brought him chicken soup in the hospital and drew explicit fanart of the two of them and recited romantic shakespearean level poetry to his face for years. he literally decided that they were coparenting a child. and will still had the nerve to utter the words “is hannibal in love with me” three seasons deep?? like no disrespect to jack crawford but i would have fired his ass

“Galadriel his sister went not with him to Nargothrond, for in Doriath dwelt Celeborn, kinsman of Thingol, and there was great love between them. Therefore she remained in the Hidden Kingdom, and abode with Melian, and of her learned great lore and wisdom concerning Middle-earth.”

Do you have any advice for someone to go from being mediocre at writing to actually being good? Or is it just a matter of keep writing until you stop sucking? I've been told my writing is good but I feel like a kid playing pretend who's somehow fooled everyone into thinking I'm good at it 😅 do you ever feel like that?

You keep writing until you suck less. And then you keep writing.

being as i am an idiot, and having been one my whole life, i just wanna say that i find it very easy to do nothing, and go nowhere. i eat chocolate late at night in the dark. i stand in the garden also. and i’m often waiting for something to happen. and i’m stupid.
