Nickelodeon Animation Production Workers Are Unionizing And If This Goes Through We Will Be The Largest

Owl friends

this is so so important to me and mine, and I'm asking you to Do Something so I'll respect your time and keep it brief

in the UK, if 100k sign a a government petition it will be brought to Parliament and debated. y'all know this country is suffering from some 80s-style bigotry right now, and this is one symptom: almost 200k fuckholes have come together to force the government to discuss whether it is 'appropriate' to tell children that queer people exist. this is a big symbolic victory for them. and i am burning with fury.

please, if you're from the UK, sign this counter-petition so they can at least see how much of a minority they are. simply put, the attempt to put these bastards in their place isn't gathering enough steam. there are barely 2000 more signatures now than there were this morning, and that isn't enough. i refuse to let these people feel even a moment of victory or satisfaction. please help.

this blog is a friendly space for twitter and tiktok refugees

but I am literally begging y'all to switch your icons and write literally anything human-like in your bios, we have been at WAR with the spam bots and you're dressed like the enemy

There is no joy like the joy of a writer who has just figured out that a throwaway line they put into the first few paragraphs of a story is actually the key to a major plot point and possibly even the theme underlying the entire thing.

Just…yesssssss.

I wish everyone who is making this week all about Taylor Swift a very nice « shut the fuck up. »

Don’t get me wrong, I love Taylor just as much as the next basic middle class white girl, but I’m also Jewish, and seeing people post incessantly about the Taylor/Kanye beef instead of acknowledging the real problems honestly makes me sick.

Here are the facts: there are 15 million Jews world wide. That’s less than half of Kanye’s Twitter followers. Kanye got suspended from Twitter not for the anti-semitism but for posting an unflattering picture of Elon musk, showing that the man in charge of the worlds most powerful social media platform is fine with hate speech unless it’s against him. AND one of Kanye’s most outspoken supporters, who obviously agrees with his views, is running for president again. Do I think he’ll win? No, but I’m genuinely afraid that if he does, we may be looking at 1939 2: electric boogaloo.

Being Jewish is a great time. It’s also fucking terrifying. Once a century, someone tries to wipe us all off the face of the earth, and this century hasn’t had their try yet. Anyone, Jewish or otherwise, who’s ever read a history book knows that Kanye’s words have real, awful repercussions.

And if you’re making this about some petty shit that happened at the VMAs 13 years ago, then congrats. It’s you, you’re the problem, it’s you.

It should 100% be illegal for companies to make you give them your payment information when you sign up for a free trial version of their product. It is not necessary and there is no good fucking reason for them to do it. It’s blatantly just so they can steal forgetful customers’ money.

Quick PSA, if you get one of those "Work scanned, AI use detected" comments on AO3, just mark them as spam.

Some moron apparently built a bot to annoy or prank hundreds of authors.

There is no scanning process, your work doesn't actually resemble AI writing, it's all bullshit. Mark the comment as spam (on AO3, not the email notification you got about the comment!) and don't let it get to you.

NYC Data Stories: Allyship

The amount of mask-off antisemitism coming out around the Kanye West and Kyrie Irving situations is genuinely making me feel sick and I’m not even Jewish. Jewish followers/people reading this post, I’m so fucking sorry, y’all don’t deserve this shit. I wish people would finally leave you the fuck alone.

If you’re trying to defend Kanye or whatever by saying “well maybe he has a point about the Jews,” genuinely go fuck yourself to the deepest pits of hell.
