no one is required to publicly list their exact age, religion, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, medical history etc in an age where doxxing someone who isn’t careful with their information is about as easy as making cereal.
share what you’re comfortable with sharing.

Whoever started this grind culture deserves to be kicked in the pussy I hate you and I hate working hard fuck you
making the Switch
to anybody who is procrastinating switching cuz they dont want to deal with the hassle (like i was): it literally was not a hassle at all it was so fucking easy it asks you when you make it ur default browser if u wanna copy all ur bookmarks and passwords over from chrome the only part that i found a little troublesome was installing different add ons like ublock & night mode and stuff. but that was it go switch now it was very easy
every few months social media companies think “hmmm i’m sure our users would enjoy it if we made our website unnecessarily complicated for aesthetic reasons”
“There are no trigger warnings in real life”
“The real world is cruel, get over it.”
My boyfriend is triggered by Christmas and Christmas music. We were in a restaurant, and Christmas music was playing, and he started panicking so he went outside for a cigarette. The manager of the restaurant overheard him saying he had to get out, and changed the music over for the rest of the time we were there. There are safe spaces in the real world. People are nicer than you think. And bullshit people who try to tell you to get over your triggers, ain’t shit.
people who say shit like this are egotistical and selfish. ignore them. there is goodness in the world, even if we have to be the ones giving it to ourselves.
Listen, listen.
I’m Jewish and I play Fallout 4.
I had a mod recommended to me called Constructable Crosses. It’s a bunch of different kinds of Christian religious iconography so you can build a church in your settlements if you want to.
I asked if it wouldn’t be too much trouble, maybe, since the author had another update planned, if maybe he could add a Magen David to hang outside a synagogue? And I would pay him?
I expected that I might be ignored or told no. At best, there would be one “okay” example of a Magen David and I’d use it because it was all that was available.
This dude went out and built an entire mod. And refused payment. He actually learned how to make a model to make a really gorgeous menorah, and put together a stunning range of chanukkiyot so you can, if you want, “light candles” for Chanukkah in your game. (And yes, I actually did this, it was fun.) He put together some wall hangings of the Ten Commandments. He made over a hundred kippah models so you can wear one as long as you have a vanilla hairstyle. The only thing the mod lacks that even the poorest synagogue would try to have, and I have maintenance rights on the mod so when I learn to make models I’ll be adding it, is a sefer Torah.
(Ironically, there is no Magen David. But since you can put up a literal actual menorah, that point is moot.)
People are kind. People are good. You just have to find them.

“Ship means something you want to see happen.” Bitch, no it don’t. This weird-ass modern culture of lobbying show-runners to make your ship canon didn’t emerge until the advent of social media. (And recent social media like twitter, not shit-you-forgot-existed like MySpace.) Shipping and fandom in general have been around much longer, so you can stop acting like “this is the way it has always been uwu” right the fuck now.
Until relatively recently, most fans I’ve known have been perfectly okay with their ships never being canon. I, personally, would be actively offended if certain ships of mine became canon. That is not why I ship them. What I want from canon and what I want from fandom are often entirely different things that only intersect on the margins.That is why fanworks are called “transformative” ffs.
This exactly.
I’m so glad someone said this. A lot of my fav ships I specifically have no desire to see become canon, especially since they’re often in shows that don’t really do much with romance and I PREFER them that way. Shipping and fan fiction are separate things for me.
“What I want from canon and what I want from fandom are often entirely different things”
shipping isn’t always romantic idealization either which is an annoying recent mindset in fandoms, mainly its liking the dynamic of two characters and wanting to explore it in fanwork whether it be for sappy cute reasons or horrible awful unhealthy reasons, whatever is appealing/interesting to you about the pair.
