update: since posting this, i haven't seen a single horror movie ad, but i have seen an ad for apples not a *brand* of apples, mind you, but a *type* of apple. improvement!

hot take but why the fuck am i seeing bloody gory jump scares in unskippable ads for horror movies now? this is about the fucking monkey movie and i *hate* it on principle

hehe nice

whoops lol

we’re in the “there is no war in ba sing se” part of avatar for those that are trying to keep track at home

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

Even if you do not create/consume/like NSFW media you must speak up for SWs and NSFW creators b/c the criminalizing and banning of it is just another step towards fascism. It will be used to target minority groups, LGBT, etc. and anything deemed "unsanitary" or "degenerate".

Civil rights were won through protests and lawsuits and literally fighting back. We are not in unprecedented times. We are in a horrible reboot of Reconstruction. Fight in every way possible. Flood those anti DEI tiplines with misinformation, spend 10 minutes every day telling your reps to stop this

thinking very seriously about deleting tiktok off my phone, knowing i can't get it back in the us, for the sake of my mental health. is anyone else off the app since the blip and willing to share their experience? do you miss it?

in all the chaos of the last week, i forgot to let y'all know that we uploaded our latest panel appearance to our youtube channel! "Into the Omegaverse: A Long, Hard Look at Smutty Fan-Fiction" from NYCC 2024. youtu.be/RxmcXG3qbjI?...

idk if this helps or not, but i live around DC. there are 700,000 people who live here (without state representation, but i digress). DC fucking HATES trump. if his first term was any indication, he will be constantly surrounded by people who make his life worse in every little way they can, lol

Don't let Donald Trump extending the TikTok ban distract you from the fact that his Administration is about to conduct mass deportations across America in a matter of days.

if you are a fellow Fandom Old who lived through the strikethroughs and ff.net purges, you should be able to understand why the tiktok ban is upsetting for so many people, especially the queer and neurodivergent folk who found community there.

You are showing your entire ass by calling TikTok “a dancing app” in the year 2025

My online presence has really shrunk to a single site in the past year because of reasons, and I never got into TikTok. But I remember the loss of Geocities, and shifts of other platforms that left them uninviting or useless. TikTok being banned is bigger and worse than those.

i'm blocking anyone who posts anything akin to "I never cared about tiktok anyway!" or "lol at all the kids crying over tiktok" this ban is a very telling canary in the coal mine. take your self-aggrandizing bullshit elsewhere.

I’m upset about TikTok for two reasons: 1. A lot of talented people have temporarily, maybe permanently, lost their creative livelihoods 2. The government now has strong precedent that they can destroy any company simply because they don’t like it, even if it involves curtailing speech

tiktok went down for me while I was watching @hankgreen.bsky.social dance to some wild techno beat and that about sums it up lol

It warms my heart in these shitty times to see all the David Lynch love. Weird art can connect us all. Let’s all make and enjoy more weird art.

this is the worst timeline tbh

i am not looking forward to the absolute knock-down crashouts we're gonna see when folks lose the endless dopamine roulette app in a few days

take it from someone who knows what "flames will be used to roast marshmallows!!!" means lol #fandom #fanfiction #multifandom #lol #theficlist

i (knowingly) kicked a hornet's nest on tiktok and boy howdy i forgot what that's like

this whole tiktok ban is befucked for a myriad of reasons, but my most personal concern is that i am simply not as funny in writing as i am with my face

Concerns over digital access and freedom of expression are raised by Australia's new Online Safety Amendment Bill, which will limit social media usage by teenagers under 16. AO3 will not be affected. Read our official statement regarding the bill here: otw-news.org/mptjd7p5

Are you getting spam comments on your #AO3 works about "buying art"? Our OTW #Tumblr account has put together a post on how to help us circumvent it! 🤝 www.tumblr.com/transformati...

canon? what canon? #fandom #fanfiction #archiveofourown #multifandom #fanfic #ao3 #fyp #lol #fandomculture #theficlist #podcast #tiktok #fictok #booktok #wicked #popular

should I repost my tiktok greatest hits here, or is that considered uncouth? i promise my tiktoks are both niche and dumb lol

"Wicked" is just really intense Wizard of Oz fanfic; you can't change my mind.

What bugs me about the intentional devaluing of art by tech is that almost anyone can actually learn how to art. Like, it takes time, and failures abound, but the myth that some people just pop out of the womb with a can or can't stamped on their heads is a crock.

hi yeah so this is extra true if the Senate passes that god awful nonprofit bill. AO3 is a project under the nonprofit Organization for Transformative Works. AO3 uses its non-profit status to protect authors from copyright suits. It's a core aspect of the site. Losing it would be catastrophic.

Post a ship that is neither Star Wars nor Star Trek

guys if we're weird enough we can probably make this place totally uninhabitable for influencers and advertisers which i personally think is a good thing
