when i was getting trained as a welder the guys started playing sneaky grabass with each other and with me. i almost hit a few people while holding dangerous tools in my hand because they wouldn’t stop grabbing me from behind, then laughing that i ‘almost’ hit them, so i finally had to go to the instructor and say, look, i’ve had years and years of self defense training due the fact i’m a very small weirdo who is in legitimate danger of getting hatecrimed and at some point one of these guys is going to goose me again and im going to bury a wrench in his eye. get them to stop grabbing me, because i don’t want to get kicked out for hitting people.
the next day i ended up punching someone in the face with a doughnut in my fist because she thought i was being a big fucking buzzkill who tattled to teacher about a harmless game, and, guess what, grabbed my butt. i got icing all over her hair. she complained to teacher...who let everyone know that this was why they weren’t supposed to be playing grabass in the fucking shop.
anyway don’t fucking sneak up on twitchy little queers with hypervigilance, it fucking sucks and you’re lucky if you get a doughnut to a face instead of a hammer.

Hello everyone,
I thought I would share the differences and similarities between Autism and Bipolar. I hope this helps many of you.
Just in case anybody missed the news, I thought I'd post it in classic Tumblr fashion
Posting the helpful advice in the replies for those who don't check the notes
here you'll find a list of resources for piracy, among them being the download for the anadius repacker, a program that automatically downloads and updates the sims 4 along with dlc, for, you guessed it, free! i've been using it for a long time and it's been a wonder to use so far
I want to thank the gay that works at CNBC that got this one past the editors
He’s helping!

Wolftopia is nearly the size of Saturn and orbits two stars that closely orbit each other!
Wolftopia is OPALESCENT are you KIDDING ME
You know what I'm a slut for? When a character visibly drops a ruse. Like, the way their face changes the moment they give up a facade and reveal themselves.
This applies to revealing love, apathy, anger, evil intent. I mcfuckin love it.
So I work at a video game store in a mall and across the hall from us is this really nice suit shop. One day one of the guys came in an asked if they could use our microwave (the store they used to go to closed down) and we bargined for use of their bathroom in return since the mall bathrooms are like a 5 min trek.
So for like three months now we just have these men in really nice suits come in and talk while using our microwave and teach them about nerdy shit? Then I, the goblin king in various shitty tee shirts and paint stained pants, walk into their super expensive store and just get greeted with “Yo dude what’s good?” and talk about the pains of steaming silken dress shirts properly and it’s my favorite business interaction every day
A new jewelry store opened up right next to our store and when I used the bathroom today we were talking about it. I hate it on principle (they flooded our systems closet during building) and immediately both Suit Guys™ working went on mini rants. “Their suits are baggy as hell, I wouldn’t trust them to sell me a $9,000 ring when they can’t get a fitted jacket. They look so unprofessional, ” and “I saw one of the dude’s wearing a teal shirt. It’s fall, and you go with teal? At least get a color to match your store if you’re gonna ignore the seasons like that, Christ, but teal is awful.”
I live for this commentary fam.

Lots of Reddit threads on FFN recently having trouble.
Last May there were posts about FFN being abandoned. Anyone have links to those?
Sometime last year there was someone on tumblr dot come going “I’ve seen this before, folks, FFN is going down”, but I think it’s been nearly a year since that
so FFN could have been abandoned for two years at this point, as long as they paid for hosting and domain name in big enough lumps, and it’ll go down in a dramatic fireball when one of those prepayments runs out
The fun thing is that at least for me, the tweets that both FFN and FictionPress list on their front page have timestamps that are like “10h ago”, but if you look actually through their twitter thread, those are actually from January 2021. I don’t know if the thing is actually actively dying, but it certainly isn’t very alive right now.
(As always: Always make sure you have a local backup of all your fanfics. You never know what might happen, to this or indeed any other fanfic site.)
I just hope that if it’s dying, the people in charge make sure to contact ArchiveOfOurOwn staff before it goes under, so that they can perform a mass fanfic rescue. I’m sure there are already plans drawn up for that eventuality, as ambitious as it would be.
Fanfictiondownloader.net will download any story from fanfiction.net into whatever format you like (PDF, epub, mobi, rtf, and several others). It won’t be an online archive available to fandom as a whole, but it means you can at least keep a personal copy for yourself.
I recommend doing this for any fic you like on ff.net.
Just in case.
As a Fandom Old, I can tell you that it really really sucks when an archive just disappears and you can’t find your favorite fic anywhere else.
So I know someone who’s trying to perform the fanfic rescue flightfoot is talking about.
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE due to the way ff.net is coded. EVERYTHING HAS TO BE SAVED BY HAND. Which means actively retyping it. Word by word.
IF YOU WANT TO ASSIST WITH THE PRESERVATION OF FANFICTION HISTORY, NOW IS THE TIME TO DO IT.
Pick a fandom. Any fandom. I’d honestly recommend starting with the ones with very small amounts of fic because those are most at risk for complete fandom loss. Start saving. Do it by screenshots, if you have to. Do it comprehensively—start on the last page and save every. Single. One. Make sure you include the header and any author’s notes. EDIT NOTHING, ONLY DOCUMENT. Yes, if that means someone misspelled something or you spot a misnamed character, you need to keep that error. If you can form a “network” with friends to save all of a fandom’s works, DO IT.
Do not skip any fics. We are not the arbiters of what “should” be saved. If you can get access to the forums in any way, save whatever you can access. I know some of that has been saved by the Wayback Machine, but not all. I can already tell you research into My Immortal has been rendered uncompleteable by the loss of the forums. That’s going to be true for ALL fics. Save whatever you can reach.
I strongly recommend using the following format for whatever you save, so it can be indexed later: fandom_fictitle_author_datefirstposted.fileextension. So for example (I’m making this fic up for demonstration purposes, don’t bother looking for it), naruto_blessing_ichigo98_07192009 would be Blessing, by ichigo98, posted in the Naruto fandom on 19 July 2009. This provides all the information needed to see if a fic has been cross posted to the AO3, and to run a search engine to see if it’s archived elsewhere.
We may not be able to save it all, but we need to save as much as possible. I can start a Google spreadsheet or something if people want to have a database to keep from getting the same three fandoms over and over.
If we’re going to rescue it, THE TIME IS NOW.
As of today, September 17, 2022, fanfictiondownloader.net does not work to archive things from fanfiction.net. However, retyping everything by hand isn’t the only option - copy and paste is still working for me in Firefox operating on Windows 10.
As previous people in the chain have stated, the fact that the writing has been on the wall for FF.net for more than a year does NOT mean we were wrong - it means we are running out of time. The administration really does appear to have abandoned the site. So whenever the bill comes due for the hosting (and you can indeed buy hosting and domain names etc in large chunks - like decade-long chunks, in some cases) or whatever, and that doesn’t get paid? The site is going down.
There is no FF.net lead mission to archive or save it. There is no “I hope FF.net’s staff contacts AO3 so the fic can be archived.” If we want it saved, it is up to US to do it, and the time to do it is NOW.
Even if you literally go in there and pick a fic at random, EVERYTHING HELPS. Small fandoms, large fandoms, fandoms you’re sure somebody else has already covered - doesn’t matter. Do it anyway.
Please help. This isn’t a huge and co-ordinated effort. There’s no phone tree. If you are reading this, I am begging you personally to help. Even if you only archive ten things - THAT HELPS!
Start in the fandoms you love or start in a fandom you’ve never heard of! Just please!! Help us save this stuff before it’s lost forever!
hey Les Mis fandom olds, remember the days when LJ and forums were where we hung out but FFN was our archive of reference? idk if i have the personal bandwidth to spearhead a full-blown preservation effort right now, but Now’s The Time and there’s lots of history lying around there. one of the other reblogs mentions Fichub Dot Net, btw, as a FFN downloader that still works as of September 2022.
If you go to ffn and ‘can’t copy-paste things’, replace the ‘www’ in the url with ‘m’, which will take you to the mobile site on desktop, and you should be good to go, although check various browsers if you run into trouble, etc.
You do NOT need to retype anything by hand. If the above tip stops working there are also ways to download the text of webpages in ways where you might need to deal with wonky formatting shit, but it is basically never true that ‘you need to retype it by hand’ of anything ON THE INTERNET. There is no text on the internet that is unscrapable, you just need to dig around a bit to find out how, sometimes.
Use this to save any fics, not just yours! Get them onto your devices, you can figure the rest out, but this can help with preservation.
