Latest Fic: ANCHOR - COMPLETE, Shrios, one-sided Shakarian, Mass EffectFeeling: fkn exhausted Listening To: "Loved By You" - The MidnightPlaying: Tekken 7 (FGC)
It is a matter of time before that site goes down. The recent tweet changes nothing. Who knows how much fanfic has been lost in the past prior to fanfiction.net’s existence.
I will archive as much as I can for Tekken from fanfiction.net, I’m archiving as Author_Title_YYYYMMDD and starting from the last page.
If I complete it, I will go grab Soul Calibur as well.
i hate you shein. i hate you wish. i hate you temu. i hate you aliexpress. i hate you fast fashion. i hate you consumerism. i hate you planned obsolescence. i hate you plastics.
Josie and I get to go swimming this weekend!! I know that doesn’t seem like much, but for a couple of trans women this is a big deal, and I AM SO EXCITED
I saw another post comparing regular sunscreen use (eg reapplying every two hours when outdoors) to sleeping on your back “so your face will be symmetrical” or trying to erase your skin texture with expensive creams. so I feel this bears repeating:
sunscreen is a health tool. and you have to use it as directed for it to work properly.
yes, it also has anti-aging benefits, and beauty influencer types seem to only mention that when they talk about it. but like. it’s FOR preventing skin cancer
and how miraculous is that? that we can- to some degree, albeit not perfectly -prevent a form of cancer? something that’s been a scourge of humanity for centuries, even when we didn’t really understand it? it’s incredible!
your sunscreen doesn’t even have to be whatever $100 French or Korean sunscreen aforesaid influencers are shilling, either. as long as it’s been approved by a reputable regulatory body, it can be the cheapo Banana Boat Sport stuff you get at the drugstore. and you don’t have to go to the insane lengths some people do either, like reapplying regularly indoors (unless you work in a glass box building with windows everywhere, I suppose) or wearing it at night
but by spending a mininal amount of money and expending the tiniest bit of effort, you can SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE YOUR CANCER RISK. how is that the same as trying to not have pores, or the “preventative Botox” trend?
if not smoking had been touted only for its aesthetic benefits, would we still all be puffing away like it’s 1955 and dismissing nonsmokers as Just Wannabe Lifestyle Influencers?
Friendly reminder that LGBTQ+, Queer, and LGBT+ are the preferred terms for the community (x).
Friendly reminder that Queer is approved by 72.9% of the people, and the groups who don’t prefer it’s use as an umbrella term are straight people, exclusionists, transmeds, truscums, sex-negative people, and sex work critical people (x).
Friendly reminder that aros and aces are excluded only 9.2% /
8.1%
of the time respectively while being included
78.9%
/ 81.2% of the time (x)
Friendly reminder that exclusionists are in the minority and aro/ace people are included in the LGBTQ+ community by the people within the community.
Also, i checked out the survey the second claim sources a while back: this is not OP choosing the words truscum, exclusionist, etc. These are labels that the survey gave people the option to self-identify as. It’s self-proclaimed exclusionists who dont like the word queer, not random accusations
yeah that’s super important.
This one gets reblogged on main. The reclassification of ‘queer’ as an inexcusable slur is a recent development which stems in part from exclusionist rhetoric. We reclaimed it decades ago. Learn our history. You are not immune to TERF propaganda, but you can absolutely choose to educate yourself to spite it.
