this is probably my favorite photo of him.

I wrote a thing.

real

I never want to hear conservatives go on about repressive censorship in China, North Korea, and Iran ever again

To be clear to those unfamiliar: these are the companies that libraries use to lend ebooks.

They are literally cutting off library access to minors.

date of article publication: July 7, 2023

two things stood out to me from the article: Mississippi's age of consent is 16, so it's apparently OK to have sex but not to read about it. (with parental consent, girls can be married at 15 and boys at 17; with parental consent and a judge's approval, there is no minimum age for marriage.)

and also, this impacts physical access to materials too: in order to enforce the ban, the Vicksburg Library has fully deactivated cards belonging to 16-17yos until they can get a parent or guardian to sign off. for teens with unstable home situations or parents who work when the library is open or who simply won't sign off, this means they can't check out books at all. bleak! bleak! bleak!

OH FUCK THIS

fuck this shit indeed.

Just random:

Unfortunately, I can only put 10 options, so can't put console generations.

Out of those options, Atari - but we had an Intellivision. ;-)

how very dare he look Like That. (tm)

Ok so look, I'm never going to write this. Just getting that part out of the way up front.

BUT. Picture Sherlock assisting Lestrade in tracking down a mad bomber who always seems to be one step ahead of them. The bomber calls Sherlock to taunt him and lets him know he's placed a bomb on a double-decker bus somewhere in the heart of London. Once the bus goes over a certain speed, the bomb arms itself. If it drops below that speed, it will explode.

Meanwhile, John Watson, invalided soldier currently working as a GP and bored out of his mind, finds himself late for work yet again. He rushes to catch the bus and makes it in the nick of time. Must be his lucky day. Except... who's the madman in the long coat chasing after the bus, and why does he seem so intent on getting on board?

I think I’ll actually have to write this. Plot bunny is biting me hard. ARGH!

Speed is on the telly right now ...

The universe isn’t lazy ...

I’ve just opened a new document and have started to jot down notes for the fic. I’ve already researched the bus and its route, have sorted some of the major players and their parts. There’s still a lot of plotting to be done before I can actually start to write. Also, I’ve got to survive two more weeks of school ...

But I guess the Speed AU is go, then. So watch this space for the Nr. 38 heading towards Victoria Station. It’ll have a bomb and John and Sherlock on board.

@khorazir this is the most exciting thing ever, I cannot WAIT to read what you have in store for us!!

reblog to charge the plot bunnies towards this goal. ;-)

There's something really funny about high production value My Little Pony OC art that looks like this

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Thoughts from David Slack on 'AI' and copyright

(the voice theft in particular is really depressing)

Of course, I'd also recommend to the "Bad Gaiman" challenge from Wits as well.

it's so funny to me that conservatives think the reason university students become more liberal is because of the actual course material and not like. the fact that universities in the US introduce are oftentimes the first place Americans are introduced to a walkable environment with affordable health care, with community spaces for any affiliation under the sun where they give you free resources and cheap food. with included public transit and opportunities for training in your field of choice. and you realize that for how much you're spending on tuition/taxes, yeah, you do deserve these things, it would be insane not to have those. and then you graduate and go back to having to buy a car to drive 20 minutes to the grocery store.

It's also one of the first places a lot of people raised in insular, conservative areas meet "the other". People of other ethnicities and cultures, people of other religions, other gender presentations, sexualities, etc. You get to know them and start realizing how much of what you "knew" about them was myth or straight-up propaganda.

It's a lot harder to demonize queer people when the person helping you pass calculus is a trans woman, or your lab partner talks about his boyfriend exactly the same way you talk about yours. It's a lot harder to believe that immigrants are out to get you when your Hindu roommate cheerfully shares a care package of homemade goodies from home, or Malia down the hall covers your lunch because you forgot to bring your wallet to study group. You start rethinking some assumptions when the 6 foot spike-encrusted goth who sits behind you in lecture hall shows everyone photos of his baby niece dressed like a puppy for Halloween with all the pride of a new parent, and you remember when your flannel and camo-wearing uncle did the same thing at work last year with photos of your little sister.

Suddenly all those "others" are just people. They're your friends, classmates, coworkers, and maybe even romantic interests. And that's a lot harder to hate or fear.

I owe everything to someone who was crucified, who rose from the dead, and who saved all of humanity. Put this on ur page if u r not afraid to say THANK YOU, XENA WARRIOR PRINCESS
