just read afab as "all females are born" lord help
love writing songs about being transgender. would love to release them someday
it's called "i hate you (i hated myself)" and it's soso angry
should be illegal for bridges to be the most fun part of a song to write because it's only a small part of the song so you have to force all your vibes into like 30 seconds of music
sometimes i agree with a post but not the tone it was written in yknow. like yes you’re right but also maybe have you considered it from this angle. maybe you should just be a little kinder to everyone
Like the one German word for "you're not wrong, you're just an asshole"?
I have fallen back into my warrior cats obsession
holy shit i never read warrior cats as a kid and im convinced i missed out on something crucial
Yooo!! All that sounds so cool my dude
100% living out my manic pixie dream girl hot boy summer rn
How have you been?
ok!! i’ve been on tumblr way less in the past months so yw for kinda just fully disappearing for a while there
I cannot believe 'archive of our own was hacked by a Russian cyber terrorist group pretending to be Sudanese because of all the smut and lgbt content' is a real, canon event in 2023
my unpopular opinion is that i hate tiktok because now people just publicly watch loud ass videos in public spaces with no regard for anyone else. 100% it was not this bad with youtube, it’s such a different thing with tiktok. put on headphones. you are grown.
Girl……
This is it! This is what social media/smart tech have done! They’ve rotted away any distinction between private and public.
Yes, we do have the right to make demands on public behavior. Of course we do. Have you never heard of laws and etiquette? I’m not allowed to grocery shop naked. You can’t rummage through my purse. I can’t have a work meeting in the middle of a movie theatre.
I remember when it was taboo simply to answer your cell phone in public. The person answering would apologize and try to go to a more private area. Then public calls were normalized. Then putting people on speaker. Then listening to music without headphones. Do you know how many times I have hiked up a mountain or driven to the beach, only to be met with someone blaring shitty top 40 music from their portable speaker, because Heaven forbid you go one hour without noise?
Old woman yells at cloud and all that, but I can’t believe someone is not only admitting this behavior, but saying it’s a good thing! No one likes you! You’re a menace!
BEING INCONSIDERATE OF OTHERS IS STILL BAD.
It was obnoxious when it was youtube.
It was obnoxious when it was music.
It was obnoxious when it was the radio.
It was obnoxious when it was dudes wanting to talk to you instead of letting you just read your freaking book.
Do you want to be this guy? Because being obnoxious in shared spaces is how you become this guy.
Wear your damn headphones like an adult participant in the social contract.
Best art history lesson ever, thank you
My queers, we really need to put the "no men" thing away. Men are not inherently bad. There are queer men. There are questioning men. There's men that are just plain cool. Denying these men a space at our table is not helping - except the TERFs. I just came off the back of reading a transphobe gleeful rant about the need to have pride without men - They of course mean me. This kind of stuff is damaging to me and I really need us all to take a step back and maybe kill this "men dni, men not allowed" stuff. What you mean is "no men who are going to do mean stuff to me." And frankly those men won't give a shit about that kind of boundary.
But I promise you there's a fleet of good honest men who will see that and be sad they're not allowed in your version of queer spaces.
PATRIARCHY is what you hate. Dni Patriarchs.
"Men DNI" in a blog's header gets an immediate block from me. If you're going to reject--wholesale--roughly half the population, I don't want to know you.
I think about this every hour of every day of every month by the way
whys combat and military gear always got to look so fucking cool when the people wearing them just objectively arent. thats unfair
this goes for like, all of time. knights are serving the KING? the fucking KING?
you cant serve cunt and the government at the same time come on now pick the right side i know you have it in you
What's happening to AO3 right now?
As you may have noticed already, Archive of Our Own is currently down. This is temporary, but unfortunately.. we now know that this is much deeper than we thought.
AO3 is currently the victim of a DDOS attack orchestrated by "Anonymous Sudan"
Why? Because AO3 is home to thousands of LGBTQIA+ content and lots of NSFW content. They're doing this as an Anti-LGBTQ+ attack. If they're doing this for or from America specifically, we're not sure. But this is what AO3 is facing at this time.
What can we do?
Spread the word. Spread the fucking word. I'll be providing updates to my Tumblr page directly from the r/AO3 subreddit. I know that not everyone here is comfortable using Reddit, so I'm taking the blow for you. I cannot access Twitter though.
And please, whatever you do...
Stop using the Archive of Our Own website at this time.
The moderators, showrunners, and service providers all need to repair the damage done by this group. The amount of data flooding in from people trying to log in will cause more problems. Keep yourselves off of the website.
Update:
Yes, the site is accessible but please do not use the site until they give the all clear.
They're still trying to fight off this DDoS attack. If you overwhelm the servers with your requests (next chapter, opening bookmarks, etc.), it will be harder for them to get it done.
(Update time: July 10th at 2:06pm PST)
Confirmation for those who need it:
It's still down at this time. Please make sure you check the date and time of posts like this too.
(Update time: July 10th at 2:17pm PST)
Update from AO3 Twitter:
This may be a different group or done for a different reason.
(Update time: July 10th at 2:30pm PST)
