The thing is nobody at pride is evaluating you to determine if you’re queer enough to be there because they’re too busy thinking “it’s so hot out” and “why is this lemonade 12 dollars?”
For our own good pleasure obviously

EXCUSE ME SIR
YOUR BODY
ICYMI, there was fear that companies were scraping public AO3 fics to train their AI without the consent of AO3 or its users. That fear has been confirmed.
AO3 has written about what they’re doing (and what they’re not able to do), and they recommend restricting your work to AO3 registered users only. [Instructions here]
This gross misuse of the archive by techbros is why I’ve locked down my fics for the foreseeable future. I recommend the rest of you do the same.
Disgusting. 🤬
“don’t go where i can’t follow” is literally the most romantic thing anyone has ever said. it’s like. i’ll let you bring me anywhere—far from home, far from the places and people i love, so long as you stay with me. i’ll let you walk into danger and through hell, but i will not let you go where i can’t go with you. that is where i draw the line.
Frodo: Sam hates Gollum, but that is what I shall become once I have lost myself to the ring… he’ll despise me…
Sam if Frodo did turn into a Gollum: That’s a very nice fish you caught with your bare hands, Mr. Frodo, and its very smart of you to eat it raw, saves us the trouble of starting a fire. I knitted you a sweater in case you get cold running around in that loincloth of yours. Is the sun hurting your eyes? I’ll kill it if it’s bothering you. I’ll kill the sun

I can’t believe Dracula is keeping my good friend Jonathan prisoner during pride month.
Jonathan remembering that among his memoranda that got stolen was all his lovingly detailed recipes for his boo
Thank you for maintaining boundaries
I am extremely happy that so many of you are enthusiastic Good Omens fans. It is wonderful that this delightful book by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman has touched so many hearts, and it is wonderful that everyone loves the show.
However...
I can't read fanfic.
I can't look at fan art.
I did not secure rights to the Good Omens adaptation with my wicked cartoonist wiles. I was approached by Pratchett/Gaiman about doing the adaptation a year ago.
I am not the boss.
Everything I do goes through an approval process.
Everything I do is BOOK based, not SHOW based.
In order to keep my head clear, I haven't even been able to watch the show for months and months. Which is sad, because I love it, and during COVID it kept me very happy. I watched it dozens of times.
I know how personal head canon can affect memories of a beloved book or show. I cannot possibly satisfy everyone's head canon.
I'm not going to try to.
I have to continually check and recheck what The Book says about each scene to make sure I'm not straying too far from the source.
I make what I consider to be only minor changes re: acting and staging so that a scene may work better in the static comic art medium. I make cuts where necessary to fit the format. I make only the most minor dialogue changes.
All of this means a lot that is in the show is not in the book because it wasn't in the book in the first place.
I am not the boss.
Everything I do goes through an approval process.
I can't look at fanfic or fanart.
I do appreciate your enthusiasm and love.
I'm going back to work.
"kids are getting indoctrinated into transgenderism" did you know that left handedness increased from 3% to 12% when they stopped beating left handed children.
people trying to insist a fandom is tiny when it /only/ has a few thousand works on ao3 meanwhile my current fandom is a sixteen book series and has several hundred fewer works than goncharov, a movie that, and i cannot stress this enough, doesn’t even exist
People are getting *wayyy* too comfortable tossing around "pedophile" as an insult. So sorry you had to deal with that :/
i saw an interesting post the other day talking about how conservatives mislabeled neopronouns and lgbt+ identity descriptors as 'newspeak' from 1984, which is a sinister dialect designed to prevent people from being able to talk about forbidden topics, when in fact more precise identity labels actually let us think about sex and gender with more depth and nuance than ever before.
but i think, ironically, that the extremely conservative, sex-negative, reactionary impulse to label every degenerate freak you dislike on the internet a 'pedophile' has absolutely done that exact thing. its a newspeak word, a word meant to degrade discussion and impoverish the mind. it means badsex. it means tranny. it means cross dresser. it means fag and it means freak. it means someone you don't like on the internet. it means someone you want dead. and each and every time it also means person who has committed an unspeakable act of sexual violence against an innocent and helpless soul. it's all the same thing at the same time. you no longer have to clarify who or what or how; in fact, you can't.
like. that's fascinating. in the way that roadkill is fascinating. in the way that getting mugged is fascinating. pedophile meant something different just a little while ago. it was a word that meant a particular person had done a particular thing. now it's a wonderful gun with infinite bullets and it is pressed up against all of our throats.
i am not, and have never been, interested in children. i think perhaps it should be a little concerning to all of us how little that's actually mattered.
Real homies respect trans people!
Image: a handful of people holding a very large sign in trans pride colors that says “RESPECT MY TRANS HOMIES OR I’M GONNA IDENTIFY AS A FUCKING PROBLEM.”
I don’t wish to be negative, but since it’s pride month let’s be real. This is a thinly veiled attempt by the homophobes to justify their hatred of the LGBTQA community! I sincerely believe the extreme right wing folks out there would like nothing more than to bring back Nazi ideology & exterminate us, the disabled, people of color, Jewish folks & any other group deemed “unworthy.” It’s disgusting & heartbreaking. ☹️🤬
National Tradition! Don't forget to post this under every Chick-Fil-A tweet
I can't get over that Perry could easily just humiliate him in front of the crowd, but instead, he help him
Also the fact that Perry can only control Doof's arms and legs. Doofenschmirtz freestyled the whole song.
It's a bop
And the song just goes from 0-get rid of the government in .2 seconds
corporations are a platypus
