I don't usually get political in this space. But today I have to. Today, we all have to leave our safe little bubbles and face history. This will be a long thread - but please, stick with it.
Today is the 27th of January. Today we remember the victims of Nazi persecution.

📖 Roll Like Thunder, M 9.5k

written for the 1D Neglected Tags Fest

archiveofourown.org/works/62225020

a fic cover made in canva. the main image is louis tomlinson leaning back on his elbows in a green sweater. the other images include a stack of books about disability, a messy bed, harry styles in a keith haring safe sex shirt, a person sitting in the lap of someone in a wheelchair so they can kiss, and a round of drinks. there is a small tagline that reads “to angels and recovery and friends and hope and health.”

screenshot of an ao3 fic summary. the fic is called roll like thunder and the summary reads “when quadriplegic louis tomlinson’s therapist recommends he see a surrogate partner, he panics, thinking this is yet another way he’s being belittled for his disability. when said surrogate partner turns out to be harry styles, a nearly inhumanly beautiful man who’s gone back to school for a certificate in disability studies, louis finds he doesn’t mind so much.”

fic summary:

PART II – when the time is right

“Harry, how do you love someone?”

“I suppose love comes from a plethora of things, some people simply describe it as a feeling or an emotion while others experience love in every little thing their partner does. For me, just being with the other person and feeling comfortable around them can be enough to call it love. Trusting someone, for me, is a form of love, but if you’re talking about that unconditional longing, the intense emotion that could potentially overtake every single one of your senses… I cannot teach you that, but I promise you, you’ll know it when that happens.”

And he had. Harry knew when he fell in love with Louis Tomlinson, the singer who had to go back to his life in England after three beautiful months together. Since then, Harry hadn't been the same. He needed finality, he needed to move on, to let go of the man who had made Harry second-guess every choice he had ever made in his life.

There was only one solution to his problems, he had to say goodbye to Louis. He had to find closure, and that's why he found himself back in England...

Or the long-awaited and official epilogue to when the time is right.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · Nov 23

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is Blue, the other is Green. In this one, each panel is a different scene, starting with Blue looking angrily at his computer, as Green rushes to him, peering at the screen with curious enthusiasm.
Blue: Ugh, I hate trying to express what I want to say in e-mail.
Green: Can I see?

Next, Blue is frowning at a bag of sweets, while Green looks inside, eager and excited.
Blue: Ew, I only have all the licorice left.
Green: I can take them.

Then, Blue is sitting at a table with a small figurine and painting tools in front of him. Green is peeking over the edge of the table with great interest.
Blue: Oh, the pain of painting a million tiny details.
Green: Let me do it?

At last, Blue and Green are in bed, cuddling, with Green as the big spoon and Blue as little spoon.
Blue: You know you don't have to volunteer for everything I don't like, right?
Green: But you're just letting me hog all the best parts.

I'm not the most vocal person or comfortable reaching out to authors but know that I’ve so much respect and love for all of you.

You bring light every day with your words and stories.

Even if it's hard & you lack motivation, know that there’re many readers behind their phones who cheer you on!

Don’t be ashamed to mention it if you feel that you can’t manage. Talking will save lives.

International mens Day

Don't be ashamed to MENtion it,
If you feel that you can't MANage;
Please talk about your feelings
Rather than soldiering on and trying to silently cover the damage.
Open up, don't MAN up,
Save each other and yourself;
MEN are only huMANs too,
And need to be honest about their MENtal health.

I think celebrities in mourning should be allowed to throw hands with paparazzi taking photos of them at funerals without any consequences, actually.

Mary | 📖: The Haunting of Louis Tomlinson

@fitzandlarry.bsky.social

I already see more alt text thank you!! A little context if you haven't looked into adding alt text before, which primarily serves to help those who can't see the images know what you've posted. For example, someone using text to speech would hear what the alt text says.

Mary | 📖: The Haunting of Louis Tomlinson @fitzandlarry.bsky.social · Nov 12

So when you upload a photo there's a little Alt button on it in the top left. Click on that (it's also had me do it if I click the pic in general) and it will give you a text box.

I like this image for the 'what to say'. Your goal is to add the context you would want if you couldn't see the image.
