Hot take, but writing underage and very explicit smut when you’re a grown adult is WEIRD. STOP.

Don't let Republicans tell you that Trump's big beautiful bill won't hurt you. Hospitals are already warning that closures are coming.

But Jeff Bezos will get a tax handout to buy another yacht.

If you’re an atheist who likes giving people a crisis of faith, please get away from me. Signed, an atheist.

“Separate the art from the artist” they cry as they fully encompass all of the author’s hateful ideologies in their fandom spaces: athenaeum.uiw.edu/cgi/viewcont...

Re: antisemitism — I discovered the idea of the Khazars (there is some anthropological evidence a group of converts existed) & was so jazzed only to discover that people use the Khazars as an antisemitic talking point to say Ashkenaz Jews aren’t real Jews. Yall take the whimsy out of EVERYTHING.

I once read a fascinating dissertation arguing that Jesus may not have been Jewish (he might’ve been another Israelite religion) and couldn’t talk about it because someone would take that and make it antisemitic and then all the Christians who only care about Jews because of Jesus would turn.

Blows the tits off my body at how white women flip out about Matt Rife being the face of ELF cosmetics (as they should), but still actively read and promote work by SJ Mass even when black creators have been showing how her work is racist for YEARS.

If you can separate the art from the artist then it likely means your community isn’t the one being attacked. Congrats to you. This idea is so asinine and such a privileged take.

Hot take, but if you’re upset about feeding into the “delusions” of people being transgender but are okay with the delusion of religion, don’t ever speak on trans issues again. One of these “delusions” actively creates legislation that harms women and the LGBTQ+ community while another doesn’t.

AO3 being down taught me that I should download literally every fanfic I’m interested in 😩

My sister came and got the smallest three. I’m currently still with the bigger ones! They’re good girls, but ducks are a LOT of work.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.

We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.
