I am grateful for the assistance I have received so far, but I am still in need of more support to reach my campaign goal swiftly. This will enable me to evacuate my family from Gaza 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸.

Help my family escape Gaza and rebuild our lives My family needs to evacuate Gaza for your safety. My family is struggling without shelter, food or health services. On October 7, 2023, we lost our home and have no plan for the future. Every day is a gamble, we don't know if we will survive. We are launching this GoFundMe for evacuation and basic needs. Your contribution could be a lifeline. Please, help us escape this nightmare. Share our story and stand with us in our time of need. Thanks for your support. Your donation makes a difference. Be the hope the world

for the second time in less than 3 months, a podficcer has thanked me for having a permission statement on my ao3 profile

my statement says that I welcome podfics and other transformations of my work, and it also says what I don't give permission for

these kinds of statements are helpful to your fellow fans who might be inspired by your work but uncertain how to talk to you about it. by giving (or denying) them permission up front, you save them that bit of anxiety and/or logistical stress

if you've never made a permission statement before, you can read this Fanlore page about them or check out @fanworkspermissionstatement for a handy template

Podcasts are so great! I'm glad to have warmed up to them, even though very late. I hope everyone does put a statement of permission on their profile, as I know podficcers who are too shy to ask if there isn't one. Also gives a chance to say No to AI.

If you don't want to give a blanket yes/no, podficcers also love when your statement says something like "please contact me [on this platform/on fic comments] for permission" because then we know where to go and what to expect. I've also seen some such statements give a caveat of "If I've been inactive for 5 years in all those platforms, you may take this as a blanket yes"

More than 20,000 children have been killed since the beginning of the war, and 30,000 others have been injured. There is still more under the rubble. Life in Gaza has no meaning.

Please share and donate thank you all

Maybe being good at social media should not be the main qualifier for all creative work

Seeing the notes on this talk about all the other careers that I hadn't even considered being affected by this is just depressing. What do you mean you need to be Instagram famous to have a career as a hairdresser?

I went to an exhibition on the history of migration and colonial rhetoric in Australia and it really helped me to pinpoint my exact issue with the way non-Australians (and. tbh. some aussies) talk about this country

this map is a piece of propaganda from 1921. honestly what shocked me about it was how little of Australia is marked out as “uninhabited”. I have seen maps shared around on this website that basically mark out the entirety of non-coastal Australia as “empty”. fucking colonialists from 1921 were more generous than some of you

the history of colonial Australia is a history of “taming the untameable land”. this has been reinforced through narratives that this country is:

  • inherently dangerous
  • uninhabitable
  • empty

this rhetoric survives in both the way Australia is imagined by non-Australians and in the self-image of Australia. the (white) aussie battler conquers the unconquerable. the outback is imagined as a post-apocalyptic hellscape. our fauna is categorised as uniquely hellish and unwieldy. so when non-Australians make joke after joke about how scared they are of this place. well you can imagine why it fills me with the kind of rage that can only be generated by the understanding that You Are Reinforcing Colonialism

I have a suggestion

Sucks that we don't get time to focus on this or flesh it out at all but it's genuinely fascinating to me that when this version of arturia dives in front of mordred and takes a hit for them, that finally after all this time one version of saber shows mordred some basic affection, mordred's reaction is a kind of hysterical indignation. Almost anger? Supposedly this is what Mordred always wanted yet getting it is so wrong that it makes them freak out. Its kind of sad honestly.

In case you haven’t been following, here is a short summary of the misnamed Russian-American "peace process" regarding Ukraine.

The US demands that Ukraine accept an immediate unconditional ceasefire. Ukraine agrees.

Russia rejects any talk of such a ceasefire, and instead asks for a halt on strikes on energy targets, an area where Ukraine is hurting Russia. The US agrees and Ukraine agrees.

Russia within one day violates the terms of its own proposal, attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure along with other civilian targets. There is no US response.

Meanwhile Russia insists that the United States enforce on Ukraine Russia’s war aims, even though they are outrageous and even though Russia is not winning the war. The US agrees.

The United States also insists that Ukraine concede its mineral wealth in exchange for nothing at all.

This has not been a peace process. It has not even been appeasement. It has been the US throwing its power on Russia’s side in a war of aggression.

You know what? It’s fucking hard trying to get better. It’s exhausting managing doctors appointments, doing daily PT exercises, eating better, trying to exercise, trying to meditate, and doing ADL’s. I have had a bad crash per week trying to juggle and do all of the above.

It’s easier and less acutely painful to just coast and not actively work on ‘getting better’. Is the work worth it? I don’t know yet.

But to people who’ve tried and given up, to those who don’t even bother - you still deserve care and compassion.
