Wait. What’s going on?

Basically: a guy in Russia named Andrew Duskin is trying to copyright the entire Foundation over a small artbook featuring SCP-inspired art. The copyright has taken effect in Russia and now the Russian branch of the Foundation is shut down, and it has the potential to shut down the rest of the wiki.

Obviously, we’re REALLY mad because this one guy is trying to claim the work of thousands as his own, and the copyright will severely affect everyone involved in the Foundation, ESPECIALLY those who make their living off of it.

This copyright came up before in the past- and was briefly forgotten for some reason- and now the administrators are working to sue Andrew Duskin (as you can see here), but the process of suing someone is very expensive.

The main issue we all have with this is him trying to copyright everything. Like I said, it’s the work of thousands of people, and by putting a copyright on the Foundation, the whole thing might come to a halt and shut down because of copyright laws.

Which is, again, why he is (rightfully) getting sued.

So, if we want the Foundation to continue being the Foundation, we gotta help out if we can.

TikTok has banned LGBT content

I think some people might not know, so I’m spreading this, but TikTok has banned LGBT content.

For that reason, I’m not going to be reblogging TikTok videos anymore, and I encourage you to do the same.

I know it’s hard. TikTok felt like getting Vine back, but they’re scummy homophobic poo-poos and I feel like we should take a stand against that.

TikTok is owned by the Chinese government oligarchs. It’s designed specifically as a propaganda tool.

IT’S WHAT

I already reblogged this but I will keep doing it until people realize

I was high off my ass last night and had this dream where I was in this dense ass forest and sitting there was a tall woman. She was so tall I couldn’t see her face but she was wearing gold and I was like “uh...hi?” And she said “I made you, do you know that?” And I nodded and she was like “I hear your thoughts. Why do you hate my creation? Why do you try to destroy yourself? I made you perfect as you are. Please don’t break my heart”. Then she started crying and it flooded and I woke up with fucking heart palpitations like what does it Mean™️????

polar opposite of this post

things I wish autism research actually tried to figure out:

  • why caffeine works for some of us, but not all, and even then it often depends on the way you take it and the dosage
  • how come all of us have gastrointestinal problems?
  • addendum to the above: what exactly are our gastrointestinal problems? are we genetically more likely to have autism be comorbid with gluten sensitivity/colitis/IBS/lactose intolerance/whatever else or is it something completely different? is it psychosomatic? the fuck
  • okay but how does being sensory-seeking work. and what does stimming do to your brain. what neurological function are we facilitating with flapping hands and rocking back and forth and spinning? wouldn’t it be great if we had a serious long-term study of the brain on stimming?
  • are you more likely to be autistic and LGBT?
  • what are things we do better than neurotypicals?

but no it’s always “how do we train the animals to be something they’re not” or “but what made you this way??” or “Time To Find A Cure”

  • why do we all have sleep disorders
  • what’s up with the joint problems
  • and the faceblindness
  • what are the communication patterns here? how come I can meet one autistic person and immediately grok how they communicate, and be confused by another, but all neurotypicals are confusing? what’s going on with that?
  • how much of what we currently recognise as ‘autistic symptoms’ are actually ptsd symptoms? or autistic ptsd symptoms?
  • don’t forget trying out topics that involve placebos
  • Is there something truly amiss in our gastrointestinal tract or are we just more aware/voice more complaints of an upset gut, and how do we like…. Solve That
  • Why are some autistics not faceblind, like what Part Of The Brain is responsible for facial recognition and what happens when it’s not working
  • Definitely discover any advantages in autism
  • Why some autistics “grow out” of their disorder to some degree while others don’t at all

hi, this is mr dad, the most tragic boy in the universe

okay, at the time of this video he wasn’t, it was taken in January for a vet checkup, but now he might be the most tragic, or at least close. mr dad is a ten year old rescue cat i took in in 2016. in the past month he’s had to be taken to the vet more often than the last 3 years combined. in it, he’s needed

today he’s started straining to pee outside the box again, suggesting the FLUTD is threatening to flare up.

I’ve placed him back in my room with all his favorite things in hopes it will help. im really exhausted and concerned, because my second job cancelled today and my main job is on-call and this week i work half the hours i get for the entire month, 12 hour days. my roommate can look after him until Monday, but after that, we are screwed. FLUTD can go from okay to fatal in a matter of hours, but if i miss work to monitor him i won’t be able to afford rent, or, god forbid, emergency care if he winds up needing it.

thank you so much for your time

xoxoxoxo tgr and mr dad

update: i put him in my room, went to write this, came back, and in the 10 minutes i was gone he’s started bleeding. we’re waiting by the door for my roommie to drive us to the vet. 

update 6pm pst (first post around 430-5pst): im home for a minute. they recommend doing a urinalysis on him to rule out some stuff, so they’re holding him at the vet until his bladder fills enough to do one. running total is over 300 and doesn’t count any additional meds if the test comes back with something that needs them, but i got the vet who waived some fees during his pink eye ordeal and i DID just spell “urinalysis” correct on my first try so maybe our luck is improving? thank you all so much

hi, it’s 11:30 and we just got him back. hes Not Happy and feeling worse than when i left him, but hes still in one piece and has some medicine to manage the pain. i’ll hear back about his pee test tomorrow or monday.. thanks so much for spreading this so quickly, it means a lot
