writers and artists will go "this isn't good enough." my brother in christ, you're creating something new out of nothing and expressing yourself creatively. your productivity and unrealistic standards of perfection do not define you or the worth of your art. you're doing great.

The moment when Israeli occupation troops raided the mourning tents of Palestinian novelist Walid Daqqa, assaulting and arresting the mourners.

Daqqa, who had cancer and spent 35 years in Israeli jails, died yesterday due to Israel’s deliberate medical negligence. Israel had refused to allow his wife and daughter to visit him since October 7, while knowing he was in a terminal state.

when is comes to asexuality and aromanticism you have to be okay with contradiction. one ace person will say asexuality is about not experiencing attraction, another will say it’s about not caring to act on attraction, another will say it’s not experiencing arousal. one aromantic will consider themself queer, one won’t. two people with seemingly identical experiences will use two different labels. aro people will be in romantic relationships, ace people will have sex. you get it.

About the AO3 "No Guest Comments for a while" warning

If you're not following any of AO3's social media accounts you might be in the dark as to what kind of "spam comments" have engendered this banner at the top of the site:

These spam comments have been posted about a great deal on the AO3 subreddit for the past couple of days. Initially they comprised a bunch of guest (logged out users) bot comments that insulted authors by suggesting they were using AI and not writing their own fics. Some examples, from the subreddit:

But it then escalated to outright graphic porn images and gifs being posted in comments, again by logged out 'Guest' accounts. Obviously, I'm not going to give examples of those, but between these two bot infestations, AO3 has clearly decided to act and has temporarily closed the ability to post comments for users who are not logged in with an AO3 account.

Unfortunately, this means that genuine readers who don't have an AO3 account won't be able to leave comments on fics that they enjoy.

If you are a genuine reader who doesn't yet have an AO3 account, I strongly suggest getting yourself on the waiting list for one. More and more AO3 authors are now locking their fics down to registered users only - either due to these bot comments or concerns about AI scraping their work - which means you're probably missing out on a lot of great stuff.

Hopefully guest commenting will be enabled again at some point soon, but I suggest not waiting until then. Get yourself on that list.

Wait times are going to be longer than usual at the moment, due to the current Wattpad purge [info on Fanlore | Wattpad subreddit thread], but if you're in line, then your invite will come through eventually.

Update: There's now a Megathread about this on the AO3 subreddit.

For those planning to see Sonic The Hedgehog, especially to see Keanu Reeves as Shadow, I would just like to mention:

Keanu Reeves is a Zionist.

He has met and shaken hands with Netanyahu.

This happened while Keanu was meeting an Israeli producer at the producer's house. The event was seemingly for the Israeli administration to encourage Hollywood elites to make more movies about Israel.

He was also trained by Special-Op IDF members for John Wick.

For the movie, Keanu was trained by Aaron Cohen. A vocally Zionist ex-Spec-Ops soldier.

Aaron Cohen actively approves of the genocide. Today, 4/17/24 - Cohen posted this on X.

If you are planning on seeing Sonic 3 - you have a right to know this. The movie may be boycotted in the future, and seeing it might break your boycotting.

This information hasn't been spread enough and since the news dropped I've seen so many people up Reeves' ass, which understandable as he's a very popular actor - but he is not just silent in this genocide, he's clearly picked a side a long time ago.

Please pass on this information if you can. Stay informed and safe y'all.

From the river to the sea. 🍉
