bullet points cause i’m too fucking tired to do anything else:
if you buy h0gwarts l3gacy you’re actively feeding a TERF. you’re giving her money. you’re helping her profit. full stop. idgaf if you rpf or consume or write hp fanfic–fuck, i write hp fanfic to try and make it what it could have been and to process my feelings about the foundational fucking series of my childhood being so absolutely grotesquely coopted and destroyed–but if you buy any fucking hp merch or have anything to do with it at this point monetarily we are fucking done.
if you buy h0gwarts l3gacy you’re contributing to the active transformation of hp into antisemitic, transphobic, white supremacist dogwhistles. people are getting fucking death threats. this is not a fucking joke. this game was written by an antisemite and it is worse than even my worst nightmares. do not fucking touch it.
if the two above points don’t convince you, fucking unfollow and block me. i can’t deal with this shit. i don’t know how to make it clearer that funding this game is funding TERF and antisemitic rhetoric in a way that will kill people. if you choose to do it anyway, i want nothing to do with you at all.
just a reminder - do NOT boycott streaming services or not watch new things. the unions have not called for one for a reason. for one, it affects residual payments, which as minimal as those currently are, actors are still getting them during this time, and for two, studios will use lack of viewership as an excuse to cancel shows because you are showing them there is no demand. it deeply affects the industry the writers and actors stand to come back to once the strike is over
poor things, well we should definitely make this easier on them by never repeatedly mentioning their name and deeds on the "reblog things forever" website
Please kick it with your little cousins, nieces/nephews and siblings on breaks when you come home. You have no idea how cool you might be to them. Ask them about school and their hobbies. Please let them know you care and love them. Don’t ignore the kids. Please.
reblog to send three ghosts after elon musk
actually tumblr does have pvp enabled it’ scalled you assholes circling around my perfectly normal posts and chanting “containment breach” until it summons the bloodthirsty swarm of psychic piranhas this site has instead of an algorithm
Quick PSA, if you get one of those "Work scanned, AI use detected" comments on AO3, just mark them as spam.
Some moron apparently built a bot to annoy or prank hundreds of authors.
There is no scanning process, your work doesn't actually resemble AI writing, it's all bullshit. Mark the comment as spam (on AO3, not the email notification you got about the comment!) and don't let it get to you.
Not the “oh Einstein was probably autistic” or the sanitized Helen Keller story. but this history disabled people have made and has been made for us.
Teach them about Carrie Buck, who was sterilized against her will, sued in 1927, and lost because “Three generations of imbeciles [were] enough.”
Teach them about Judith Heumann and her associates, who in 1977, held the longest sit in a government building for the enactment of 504 protection passed three years earlier.
Teach them about all the Baby Does, newborns in 1980s who were born disabled and who doctors left to die without treatment, who’s deaths lead to the passing of The Baby Doe amendment to the child abuse law in 1984.
Teach them about the deaf students at Gallaudet University, a liberal arts school for the deaf, who in 1988, protested the appointment of yet another hearing president and successfully elected I. King Jordan as their first deaf president.
Teach them about Jim Sinclair, who at the 1993 international Autism Conference stood and said “don’t mourn for us. We are alive. We are real. And we’re here waiting for you.”
Teach about the disability activists who laid down in front of buses for accessible transit in 1978, crawled up the steps of congress in 1990 for the ADA, and fight against police brutality, poverty, restricted access to medical care, and abuse today.
Teach about us.
