If you’re just as displeased about the organization that runs AO3 kicking someone for being pro-Palestine (source 1) (source 2) as I am, here are some things you can do…
Use the OTW contact form and the AO3 feedback form to voice your displeasure. Additionally, inform them exactly how you will be withdrawing support until this issue is resolved.
Stop donating to AO3. This is an obvious one, but important. If you have previously donated, but will no longer be doing so, be sure to say it in your feedback form submission!
Switch fanfiction sites. Both for reading, AND for uploading. Alternatives include WattPad, Fanfiction.net, tumblr itself, or even hosting your fanfiction on a site of your own, via Neocities. Don’t want to stop using AO3’s tagging system? Check out SquidgeWorld, which uses AO3’s open-source code. It even has a rule against CSEM! While AO3 doesn’t get money from ad revenue, seeing the number of visitors drop will certainly get the message across.
Encourage others to do the same, and spread the word!

I think that one of the most frustrating things about the Nex situation is that most if not all people who were/are in public high school had some sort of experience where violence, harassment, and bullying is overlooked. Where it’s seen as “normal” behaviour, something they children just naturally do and work through. This level of violence, this kind of beating, it’s not something that happens unless if the person doing it feels confident that either they are going to get away with it or it won’t be taken seriously. These things are ramped up. They were able to beat Nex so severely due to neglect by the school. They were able to murder a fellow classmate because they felt safe enough to do so, and now no other child will feel safe.
In America, so many children have to be worried about being shot by some stray, non discriminating bullet, but if you bring in the context of being a minority, and especially part of a minority group that is currently being targeted, that level of fear is ramped up. It’s angering that children continue to be in fear, and that there’s limited power within the hands of every day people in how to change it on a systematic level. How scared children grow up into adults that cannot feel safe enough to raise their children in that same environment. This was a case of hideous neglect, and it’s a case repeated and triumphed over school system after school system.
The principal of the school neglected to take action, didn’t call an ambulance, and even failed to appropriately and respectfully handle the situation and be honest and clear about the things that she’s done. Tiffani Cooper. Know her name. Correct her reputation. The first thing you see when you look up her name shouldn’t be announcements of her being Teacher of the Year or the welcoming of her as the new principal. Her status as a proponent of neglect should be clear for everyone to see. She had as much of a hand in killing Nex as those three girls.
May Nex be in peace. May Nex be remembered how they wish to be remembered. You deserved time to be a child, to grow up, to find yourself, and become your own person. You should have known more than what you’d been shown. You will not be forgotten.

A 16 YEAR OLD NON-BINARY STUDENT WAS BEATEN TO DEATH BY THEIR PEERS & THE SCHOOL DID NOT CALL POLICE OR AN AMBULANCE.
local news did not report on the story at all. the school is trying to avoid talking about it altogether. they don’t want anyone to know that this happened.
say their name. NEX BENEDICT did not deserve to die. the oklahoma school district & state has blood on its hands.

If at any point i hear one more person taking the piss out of someone with neopronouns/xenopronouns or non-binary people or trans folk, I'd really like to remind them that there are SEVERE consequences to this. The death of Briannah Ghey and now Nex Benedict NEEDS to be spoken about more, and how influencers online who spread their bigoted views contribute to the bullying and sometimes death that these people face. If you find yourself posting something about 'trans-trenders' or whatever, you're going to have an impact on that community. Someone will see what you've posted, they'll repost it or rephrase it and it will spread. This is a plague, and if we can get rid of it we need to start holding more bigoted people accountable.

In fifth grade a boy tried to impress me by swallowing a whole tadpole live and I punched him so hard that he puked and the tadpole was fine.

genuinely one of the worst things that’s happened to television in the last few years (exacerbated by streaming services) is death of Filler. going from 20 episodes to 8 because “we didn’t really need that episode where the main characters went to the beach right? it had no long lasting effect” but we DID!!! we needed to see how they act without the Big Bad Plot and to establish the dynamics between the characters and lay in the sun (do they forget sunscreen? how do they react to a thieving seagull? do they get buried in the sand or do they do the burying?). the plot isn’t everything. the action doesn’t hit as hard without the quiet moments. give us character development and our little scenes back
