This is one of my favorite active authors on Fanfiction.net. This person has 25 stories posted over there, is currently updating a new one titled Call Me Friend But Keep Me Closer(HP/George W.), and just finished one called Memory’s Pale Reflection, which is one of my absolute favorite HP/SS. This author has done an outstanding job of getting me tuned in (and turned on) to DM/Remus L. with the story Just Sex. There’s also a story called One’s Man Treaaon, which features DM/Bill W. that is very well done. You’ll find that this author has done some of the best HP/Ron W. Brave New World (HP/SS; DM/RW) may have been this author’s most popular work, but I’d like to do a special mention to An Honourable Man (HP/SS; DM/RW).

but gosh i want to be a sad little cartoon villain man unveiling my backstory in an unnecessarily flamboyant musical number whilst my bumbling team of comic relief henchpersons stumble about providing the off-key chorus line

“you don’t like the proliferation of terms like Unalive outside of TikTok because you realize that you’re aging out of youth culture and it makes you uncomfortable!”

no I don’t like it because there’s something INCREDIBLY dystopian about being forced to soften terms for basic parts of the human experience like death and sex (and even more so terms for oppressed minorities- call me a “le-dollar sign-bian” and I will bite you) purely because advertisers and corporations demand it

Period Trackes - Clue

o in light of RvW being repealed, a lot of people have been worried about their period trackers being used against them. I’m not personally in the US so I’m not in danger on that front, but I do want to stand in support with those who are. But on the other hand, my tracker keeps track of my dates, meaning I’m not surprised when It’s Time anymore. It’s just very nice to know when I need to have my stuff on hand, yknow? And I’m not NT enough to do that on my own. So I asked them.

Hello Clue,

The SCOTUS recently repealed Roe v Wade, as I’m sure you know. Some US states have already started making abortions illegal. There is -well founded- concern over women being prosecuted over having “secretly had an abortion”, and data from period tracking apps being used to support these accusations. What is Clue doing to prevent users’ data from being used against them?

Sincerely,

(and then my name but I cropped that out for obvious reasons)

I think the Clue’s Response to Roe vs Wade is particularly relevant here (I’d tried to find it on their website, don’t know why I couldn’t before now). I am by literally every means not a lawyer, so I can’t tell if any of this is legal enough for people to feel safe using Clue. But. idk, maybe if you benefit from using a tracker, consider using this one.

Don't let this die. Taylor Swift is the Pollution Queen now. We need meme edits with her photoshopped onto backgrounds of wildfire-ravaged landscapes and oil refineries chugging out black smoke.

Photo of smudgy black eye shadow? That's THE Taylor Swift-inspired look now, it represents fossil fuels.

We need parodies of Taylor Swift songs about pollution and killing polar bears.

Give her representatives a full-time job for the rest of their lives defending her from the phrase "Pollution Queen." Make this meme a the figurehead of an entire fleet of other celebrity-terrorizing memes.

"But this doesn't dismantle the system that—" Shut. Don't care. Isn't it great that such a huge portion of environmental damage is being done by human individuals with egos, whose feelings can be hurt when people are mean?

Money can save you from physical harm, but can it save you from looking ridiculous?

snape knits because of course he does, feat. a very entertained minerva. 🧶

(also we’ve both had enough of summer pls)

for @wellpresseddaisy since i kept remembering you while drawing this :)

Ok Ladies and people with uteruses,

If you use the tracking apps like Flo its time to stop and delete your data. They have illegally sold data in the past. One of their chief investors is Peter Thiel who has donated millions to Trump and other GOP canditates. Peter Thiel, who referred to rape as "belated regret." Your data is not safe and could be used against you.

You know people are saying this was an overreaction but listen if I was Mei Mei's mom and I thought a whole ass 17 year old was trying it with my 13 year old daughter he would be on the news

if a character does not have a romantic arc they are simply aroace to me i’m sorry. headcanoning everyone as aroace unless otherwise specified it’s how i cope with getting no rep anywhere
