Before the Gaza war, our lives were simple but stable
Today everything has changed. We are starving, with no monthly income to survive 😢💔
The war took everything from us and left only pain and hunger.
Please share your kindness could help a family fighting to stay alive 💔

The thing that irks me about fandom these days is that some people have overidentified with the media they like to the extent that they need to be told it's clever and good.

Through its knee-jerk attack on a prominent Black woman, I wonder whether the Mail has found a deeper truth.
How many, through reading the Mail, became so toxic their children and grandchildren no longer enjoy seeing them? How many readers are asking themselves 'will this be me?'

So... Netflix is going to own DC, Harry Potter, Mortal Kombat, and whatever other Warner Bros franchises you can think of, on top of HBO Max.
...I give it five years before Netflix sells Warner and they're back on the market again.

And to think I made a Zootropolis OC whose name and appearance were a reference to The VVitch
‘ZOOTOPIA 2’ originally had a 4-minute long scene that was a homage of Hannibal and Clarice’s first meeting in ‘THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS’
“We did word by word … That’s where we go & now we have lost our younger audience members,” says co-director Jared Bush.

IQ is a measure of how good you are at IQ tests, which is something informed by how familiar you are with taking academic tests (& thus the quality of your school, which is in part determined by your parents' wealth, etc). there's nothing in particular that makes them a good test of intelligence
I saw this ad on the train and I’m curious how yall feel about it… I’m very much in the center, but slightly more towards than against…

Apparently Smashwords royalties are changing as of January 1, 2026. Books under $2.99 will get 40% list; books $2.99 or over get 75%.
(Amazon KDP, for context, is generally 35% and 70% respectively)
Draft2Digital owns Smashwords, so if you publish via D2D it's easy to add ebooks there. 💙📚

that for the last decade plus movies & tv been mostly catering to the nostalgia of people over 30 without capturing what really made those things work in the first place, but sanitising and slopifying that stuff.

people who say this to me are not looking for permission to watch the thing or read the books. no one can stop them from doing that. they are looking for a hearty thumbs up, a pass on their guilt, but you can't stop me from thinking you're a fool who's not to be trusted
when that show comes out i better not hear a fucking word about it. no memes. no edits. "it was so important to my childhood--" okay well human rights are important to my adulthood??

this bothers me not because I think those people are necessarily wrong in their self dx but because…well, I’d’ve hoped self dx + proudly incorporating that into one’s public identity would = deliberate solidarity w autistics who are more disabled &/or less capable of masking
we live in a weird time where everyone is self-diagnosing themselves as autistic and brutally mocking anyone who actually acts autistic
