You know how companies used to make flour sacks with pretty flower patterns on them because mothers would make dresses out of them for their daughters? We should bring that back. Paper bags designed to be reused as wrapping paper. Jars of jam designed to look nice filled with pencils or homemade sauces. Fabric that's high quality enough to use as a patch.

Give things a second life!!

I hate when an artist gets exposed for being a bad person and people start the narrative “why would you even want to listen to their shitty music” when are we going to be freed from the idea that only good people create good art and bad people create bad art. It just makes it harder for these types of people to be exposed because now you got people thinking “how is this possible, his music is so good!”

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.

#I have a bunch of invites if any of my followers need them!

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.

like i've said it before and i'll end up saying it again but harassing celebrities on instagram bc they haven't said exactly what you wanted them to say about a humanitarian crisis

is not activism

is just performative bullshit

makes you look like a dick and harms the optics of your movement

derails the conversation to be about your celebrity of choice and not the cause you're yelling at them about

is often rooted in bigotry, especially with regards to putting a disproportionate amount of pressure on poc to comment on social issues that they are not experts in just because they are poc

creates a false sense of having done good and perpetuates the idea that you don't need to do any actual work to help people in crisis as long as you've yelled at folks for thoughtcrime on the internet

does not help anybody except yourself, you selfish little shit

#and i'll be honest sometimes i *don't* want to hear from celebs #just b/c they have a platform doesn't mean they *should* speak about causes they're not educated on

[montygreen]

Well, you should be.

and if you feel comfortable sharing what song(s), let us know in the tags!

#a different spelling of my name but yes #people always asked my mom if i was named for the eric clapton song #(I was not)

[montygreen]

Im curious.

#i never watched the episode of the 100 where... you know who was killed #but i never watched an episode after either #and i was pretty committed at one point to finishing the series since i'd dedicated so much of my life to it

"I could be really brash and really loud and really dressed however I wanted to and almost made [Chappell] on purpose a drag version of myself so I can be whatever I want. It allows me to feel really safe exploring those aspects of myself. I’d never be able to do that if I took myself super seriously with pop. I think that the project has allowed me to be a part of the queer community in a deeper way because I'm not observing from the outside anymore. I feel like I'm in it. I am the queer community–it's allowed me to just feel queer, feel like a queer person and feel freedom in that."
