I See Your Cute Connor, Confused Connor, Anxious Connor And Relaxed Connor, And I Raise You: SALTY CONNOR.

sorry but reddit ‘leftists’ are so pathetic. nearly every comment section on every subreddit is just doomer crap, basically telling people there’s nothing they can do except move countries while simultaneously not recognizing that the same groups they claim to care about absolutely do not have options to just pack up and leave overnight. like there are people here that need your help and if you’re actually as helpful/caring/humanitarian as you claim, then you should be providing resources and information on how to help marginalized communities instead of wallowing in your own misery and trying to force everyone to feel the same.

fascist regimes want you to feel helpless so that you stay immobile. even if you can’t transform the government overnight, you can help spread accurate information and volunteer locally to support marginalized groups. that stuff is not ‘small’, it changes people’s lives. it matters.

I am begging the FDA to require that companies CANNOT just put "spices" as an ingredient but have to label the spices.

"Spices" can mean "this has some oregano and black pepper in it" or it can mean "this has cumin cayenne and paprika and if you eat this you will be sick in bed in pain for a week" for me.

Seriously, this is an allergy issue and a huge oversight on the part of corporations.

Require detailed labeling of spices used in packaged foods NOW.

Just a heads up, there are bots going around on AO3 accusing people of using AI. Considering the timing, this is likely AI bros' retaliation for AO3 users calling them out for scraping their work. Examples of what you might be sent:

i have love for every single dbh character EXCEPT kamski and amanda (technically cyberlife) those bitches can rot

BTW i see these posts all the time like "ohhh i dont know what to comment on fics.." and every response is "keysmashes! or hearts!! anything works :3" and thats GREAT!! thats helpful!!

but: consider. if u genuinely like analyzing writing.. do u know ur just allowed to go through and quote your favorite parts and ramble abt what they mean to u and the author will LOSE IT WITH HYPE?

genuinely. i felt SO WEIRD the first time i did it.. but like. holy shit authors love it. its crack for authors. the first time i did it, it was on a fic that hadnt updated in half a year, give or take, and the author made 3 updates that month BECAUSE OF MY COMMENT.

LIKE. as an author every comment is INCREDIBLE!!! but also, dont feel like your comment has to be short or otherwise ur invasive or smth!! authors ADORE long comments more than ANYTHING.

It is lovely that China and America can agree on one thing.

generative AI literally makes me feel like a boomer. people start talking about how it can be good to help you brainstorm ideas and i’m like oh you’re letting a computer do the hard work and thinking for you???

you guys don't have to give gavin some sad backstory that explains his crude behavior just to justify why you like him, i like gavin because he's a fucking bitch and he's sexy and there's nothing wrong with that

not like us getting 3 grammys... when is drake going to crawl into a hole and die
