What the media won't show
It’s actually pretty nuts how there is no real mass media coverage of the protests that are happening all over the US. It demonstrates fairly conclusively that the unlawful activities at the White House aren’t just limited to Trump. There’s a lot of wealthy people in powerful positions in the US and around the world helping to support the dismantling of the US federal government.
Outrage follows after Texas gay campground doubles-down on banning transgender men from property
The Navasota-based, clothing-optional campground sparked condemnation after it publicly stated on Monday that it only allows cisgender men and would not allow trans men to attend upcoming events. That statement, posted on Trans Day of Visibility, claimed the exclusion was about preserving “comfort” and “shared lived experience” among men who were assigned male at birth.
“This campground was created as a haven specifically for men who historically lacked spaces where they could express themselves openly without outside judgment even from within the broader LGBTQ+ community. We’re not anti-trans; we’re just focused on preserving this unique sub cultural dynamic,” the venue posted
The clothing-optional campground’s mission was to “provide a safe, affirming and liberating space exclusively for cisgender men”, and it was “vital for guests to feel completely at ease physically and emotionally,” which included comfort with the “types of bodies, interactions and dynamics present”.
Gay bears stand up to campground that banned trans men
Grizzly Pines, a clothing-optional campground in Navasota, Texas, northeast of Houston, is now embroiled in controversy after the Houston Bears canceled their annual Bear Camp at the facility, citing the campground’s “MEN ONLY” policy. The campground defines that as excluding trans men.
In a statement explaining the cancellation, the Houston Bears said, “A community member recently inquired if they could attend Bear Camp at Grizzly Pines because the member thought that Grizzly Pines had a policy of not allowing transgender men to stay at their facilities.”
A second Texas bear organization, RGV Bears in the Rio Grande Valley, expressed support for the Houston Bears’ decision and followed suit, canceling their own event booked for Grizzly Pines.
“To our RGV Teddy Bear trans members, we will create events that we can continue to enjoy together in siblinghood (bearhood),” the group wrote.
soon may the wellerman come, your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
the reviews are in
honestly the discourse on this site is so bad that I have a new hot take: if you use tumblr at all fuck you
Checked their account: turns out op is a fucking tumblr user themselves so????? Idk :/
which one of you motherfuckers reblogged this again
Probably some fucking Tumblr user.
Tumblr what a site
I offered to come check on my friend's animals while she's away for the long weekend
She thinks I'm joking
But I'm ready
Wait. Are there 200, but to be numbered 1-250? Did I read those tags right? 😲
Yes there are actually 202 of them, the company sent 2 extra in the package, and I will be numbering them on the bottom with sharpie marker 1-250. This will ensure even if she manages to find all 202, she will never truly stop feeling like there might be a tiny duck somewhere unknown in the house. Lurking. Waiting to appear at the strangest time.

For the people in the notes who don't know what a prank is: yes they're not frogs. Obviously they are not frogs. She would be expecting frogs, which isn't much of a prank. Get it together out there."
nothing pisses me off more than when i see a fic on ao3 talking about reach. "this ship isn't here but i added them for reach" "this fandom tag isn't necessary but i'm adding it for reach" "reposting for reach" STOP IT!!!! this is not tiktok this is not twitter this is an ARCHIVE this is not how it works!!!
i will not deal!!!! that is not how any of this works!!!!
if you see people doing this shit, report it. its against the terms of service.
genuinely. copy the link to the fic or series, and then scroll down to the bottom of the page:
click on policy questions & abuse reports which takes you to this page:
if you scroll down, youll be able to report the fic right there but you can also check for yourself that its against ToS
all you need to do is explain that theyre deliberately mistagging things which is just not a thing on ao3 because its an archive.
by posting your fic there, ao3, has the right to manually recategorise tags. its in the ToS:
you cant deliberately mistag stuff on ao3; it is an archive. you cant tag for reach, and this is likely gonna get pat tag wranglers because they deal mostly with form not content of tags and if theyre tagging for reach, its gonna be the more popular tags.
so report the fuck out of them for it. most likely, their fic will just have tags adjusted and their account will be fine.
and if they keep doing it and get suspended for it, its their own damn fault.
also thats not even getting into the fact that mistagging fics is kinda antithetical to their goal of reaching more people because youre not reaching the people who want to read your fic?
Okay fact check: It's not necessarily against the TOS to "mistag".
As the TOS FAQ explains:
What if a work has an incorrect category, relationship, character, or additional tag?
The Policy & Abuse committee will only evaluate the accuracy of tags in mandatory fields. We will not add, edit, or remove incorrect category, relationship, character, or additional tags. Our resources are limited and it would be challenging to impartially and fairly establish or enforce accuracy rules for these types of tags. However, our general policies against harassment and spam apply to all tags, as they do to any content posted on AO3.
Please only report wrong tags for Fandoms, Ratings, and Warnings fields. And even then, it is only under very select circumstances that the Policy and Abuse committee will require a change. I encourage you to review the Ratings and Warnings and Other Tags sections of the TOS FAQ before submitting the complaint.
Policy and Abuse is a small committee and they have a lot of tickets to get through. Don't waste time with reports that are not violations of the TOS.
Today, one of my second graders was working on shape name recognition, and we got to this picture of a pyramid shape with a wide-ish base. When he saw it, his eyes lit up and he turned to me with a huge grin on his face, pointed at it, and said "When the teacher forgets to assign homework" before bursting out into hysterics, covering his mouth and giggling. I don't understand what happened except this kid CLEARLY knows about the strong comedic and memeable value of mathematical shapes and emotions that I, an old millennial, cannot comprehend I did, however, try to recreate this moment as the meme this child must have seen in his head
maybe he was thinking of the dancing triangle meme??
i have seen this gif with that exact caption before. this is absolutely the one he was thinking of
That kid saw one of the simplest geometric shapes and said that's blorbo from my memes 👍
Not only that, but a triangle from a Joke Zelda fan film made to make fun of someone’s spec script, made at least a decade ago.
y’all expose yourselves and take this fanfic test i was just forced to by an irl so now i’m making you too
In my weak defense I’m in a lot of smaller or old fandoms and you take what you get. Also i don’t usually use the exclude option and i love when the crack is treated seriously.

This list is so mainstream! It's missing so many crazy things. No vore, mad scientist, lab rat, oral fixation, vivisection/surgery, amputation, oviposition, slave/owner, foot fetish? No mention of crazy imperialist "living under fascism/part of the resistance" AUs, historic sex, serial killer, or crossovers? No sex olympics? RPF? No horny religious iconography, blasphemy, or crying? No 250k words "same show but everyone is a horny lesbian"? De-aging? Animal/alien genitals? The kids these days, thinking their "spit as lube" is "fucked up"... 😂
Thank you for these tags @disarmd this is exactly what I was thinking lmao
