What do I put on a pinned post?? Graveyard shift worker, so i keep very odd hours. Gabriel, born in 1993, She/Her, lover of books and folklore and words and stories and art. Most especially, anything in those categories featuring the unloved discovering it for the first time. Also. Monster-fucker. But like, in an Ace way.
US District Judge James D. Peterson of Wisconsin has dismissed the 2025 lawsuit by Scarlett Pavlovich against Neil Gaiman, accusing him of sexual assault and human trafficking, citing that the case should be litigated in New Zealand, where the alleged events are alleged to have occurred. The decision, issued yesterday, was based on the doctrine of “forum non conveniens”, which allows courts to dismiss cases better suited to another jurisdiction. The court emphasised it was not evaluating the truth of the allegations. After the decision was released, Scarlet Pavlovich’s lawyers filed a motion to appeal.
So this guy, Moshe, is pretty down on his luck. He starts praying every night, “Hashem please! Let me win the lottery!” He prays for three nights, “Hashem, I need to win the lottery!” And on the third night he hears a voice from heaven say, “Moishele. My love. Meet me halfway. Buy a ticket.”
id tag game changer spoilers but what does that even mean at this point
yknow i posted this out of context to shock the pre existent dropout fans who hadnt seen the episode. i hadnt grappled with the idea that people who dont watch game changer at all would see this, which is probably gonna be my new favourite thing to see happen on my posts
most cartoonishly evil pro-life talking point i’ve ever seen was “oh so you think minors should be allowed to get an abortion without parental consent?” wait. wait so you think a parent should be allowed to veto a minor’s abortion? you think parents should be allowed to force a 12 year old to give birth? against their will? you think it should be allowed and legal to do that? you think it’s a problem that parents are not allowed to force a literal child to give birth?
That’s because these people do not believe, fundamentally, that children are people - they view children as the literal property of their parents.
They phrase this shit so sneakily too, like ‘wouldn’t you want to know if your daughter was in trouble ’ which, generally good parents respond 'of course!’ And dont think at all to the broader consequences of these shitty laws
'wouldn’t you want to know if your daughter was in trouble ’
Counterpoint: Why are you not the first person your daughter comes to when in trouble? What possible actions could you have taken that would make your daughter want to hide her troubles from you?
If you need laws in place to force others to give you access to your kids’ personal information, you are a shitty parent.
Also, have you been around twelve-year-olds? Most of them can’t get through their state-approved “health and human relations” course without feeling or behaving some combination of awkward, weird, or gross. I’d be willing to bet good money that your average pregnant twelve-year-old did not get that way by fooling around with their peers. Someone did that to them–most likely someone close to them and in a position of authority. Which leads to some pretty unsettling conclusions as to why such a twelve-year-old might not feel comfortable looking to their parents for assistance in such a time.
no more jokes about taylor swift’s lyrics or about gaylor when all that does is distract from the fact that when it is no longer lucrative to present yourself as a liberal “progressive” artist she has quickly moved on to marrying and befriending trump supporters. i do not care if there was anything gay between her and her ex bestie when her new bestie brittany mahomes is being personally thanked by donald trump. i think it’s a shame that all discourse i see on this site about her right now is about whether it’s ridiculous and stupid to think she’s not straight. what we should be talking about is what it means when the biggest international pop star is getting engaged to a trump supporter during a time when we are seeing eugenics white supremacy ads. i don’t care to hear about the eras tour unless it’s about how dave portnoy (a trump supporter and alleged rapist) got a personal handwritten note from her at the eras tour. it does not matter if you think she’s a crap lyricist or the best lyricist of our generation when what matters is what her choice to align herself with maga signifies about the culture
Chronic pain pisses me off cause I’m not even incapacitated for like a cool or badass reason instead my body is throwing the world’s biggest temper tantrum because it’s raining outside
why are all the actual real human jobs like baker and florist and childcare worker barely paying livable wages but the fake jobs like ai specialist boot licker or marketing campaign dick sucker making six figures
Nothing beats the feeling when you start getting comments on every fic in a fandom or ship from one person, and it’s clear that they’re going on a fic-binge.
Wait writers like this?
Easiest way to make a writer smile! It’s how I learn usernames and start up conversations these days!
I’m always petrified that I’m going to look like a crazy stalker!
We all love this kind of stalker.
please do this, the author will adore you.
100% can confirm, even if it’s an older fic you should never be afraid to leave a comment or kudos, it will make us smile :)
What kind of monster convinced you that you weren’t allowed to express your appreciation for the things you enjoy to the people who created said things?
Most of my 15+ year old internet friendships began with a deluge of fic comments. @ussjellyfish wrote me a story based on an off-handed comment in a mutual’s lj thread before we met! There is nothing like waking up to multiple emails from AO3, or getting through a tedious workday as the emails appear one by one. That’s how we built community.
Gale was still entombed when I killed the Phase Spider Matriarch…and not at all concerned about it. What a trooper.
