Solidarity Summer is well and truly ramping up. AS IT FUCKING SHOULD.

And another one! 📢

Barnes and Noble booksellers are working on forming a union as well! 

https://www.reddit.com/r/union/comments/rwczci/barnes_noble_workers_want_union/

Their flagship store and New York has unionized along with 3-4 other stores! This is happening! People are tired of being seen as dollar signs and being made to work just to get to work more, to survive instead of thrive. Keep it UP.

Stop tagging your non-explicit AO3 fic ace-friendly.

Saw a fanfic summary in the Sandman tag that pissed me off.

At least half the explicit fic on ao3 is written by asexuals

Fictional written porn is not real life sex. Whether or not you like reading/writing fictional written porn has no bearing on whether or not you experience real life sexual attraction.

Liking zombie apocalypse movies does not mean you want a zombie apocalypse to happen in real life.

Fiction is not reality.

Equating asexuality with sex negativity is, however, acephobic.

The tag “ace friendly” fic is too close to kid friendly to not be infantilizing, and assumes there’s only one kind of ace, but we’re not a monolith. We have micro labels galore specifically because we’re not a monolith and have varied opinions especially about sex and explicit content.

We have a tag/rating for non explicit it’s called gen or general audiences. If you’re looking, there it is.

Standard ao3 tagging etiquette is plenty good enough. If I’m not interested in taking my ace self to the explicit works I won’t. If I am having a normal one and traipsing around the explicit tags I’m still fine, worst case scenario -click the back button. Like everyone else.

The aces must be protected from smut/kink/reality that other people bang group is a vocal minority with a volume bump from the right. Not actually representative of most ace people.

Speaking as a person who falls under one of those micro labels on the ace spectrum (and it IS a spectrum, not a single point), I actively enjoy reading fics rated Mature due to sex, and even fics rated Explicit.

i kept reading ‘ace friendly’ as meaning 'avoids the othering sensations created by amatonormativity’ and getting burned by fic that absolutely did not do this

“Ace-friendly” is so patronising when it’s about non-explicit stuff. It feels like we’re being classed as Innocent Little Woobies who don’t know or like dealing with anything sexual.

Asexuality does not immediately equate sex-repulsed or sex-indifferent, whether in what we read/write/do irl. The majority of aces I knows are very much into writing/reading explicit stuff. Some of the best explicit stuff I’ve ever read was by ace writers.

So I’d like you to meet my partners. This is the broken, this is the beaten, and this is the damned.

Here is the lover, theres the dreamer, and that one there on the right is me.

Just entered a new relationship. There’s Paul, a real estate novelist who never had time for a wife, and Davy, who’s still in the navy and probably will be for life.

Yeah, this is my new boyfriend and girlfriend. Yeah, he was a punk and she did ballet. What more can I say?

Yeah, just got a picture of our polycule back. On the left is the clown, on the right is the joker, and of course, stuck in the middle, there’s you.

Calvin’s parents decide to take a Hawai'ian vacation. They’re not sure how much of it their son will tolerate but they would like to do at least a few things that involve sandy beaches and scenic cycling routes. They are therefore pleased when Calvin seems to make friends with a local girl about his own age and the two of them run off to play

Now, from Calvin’s point of view what has happened is that he spotted actual aliens, and starts trying to bring this to the attention if the adults. But the tourists are like, “that’s nice, go shoot ‘em with your water gun, have a good time,” and the locals are like, “yeah, they’re an older couple who decided to retire here. Happens all the time.” Eventually, it becomes clear that Spaceman Spiff is going to have to handle it himself.

From Lilo’s point of view, Jumba and Pleakley are her gay uncles, do you mind? Calvin does mind, and so the two of them spend the rest of the afternoon terrorizing Kaua'i in the effort to destroy one another while the aliens alternate between bailing them out of trouble and attempting to escape.

Hobbes and Stitch, meanwhile, are calmly playing checkers and drinking non-alcoholic margaritas.

OP I’m sorry but the last sentence painted SUCH a vivid picture in my mind I had to draw it immediately.

I love how Stitch looks more like a stuffed animal then Hobbes does.

This is perfect.

FYI if your employer does this, if they have done it for a long time especially, you and your coworkers could be owed huge amounts of unpaid wages and it would be an easy suit if there is a paper trail like this and your employer is placing strict requirements on your behavior while not at work. Employment lawyers generally work on contingency. Just food for thought.

My favourite thing about the D&D movie is it never stops trying to be a D&D movie even down to the most minute, unsung details. There’s initiative order gags (I’ll go last!) there’s rolling a 1 gags (setting off the trap on the bridge by inexplicably just walking up to it) there’s stat gags (nobody had high enough Intelligence to be in danger from the Intellect Devourers). Almost every spell is identifiable, from Xenk using smite to Sofina whipping out Finger of Death. Simon’s character arc is about his self-confidence being tied to his mastery of magic because Charisma is the spellcasting stat for sorcerers. The era of movies based on games being afraid of their source material is over.

And the second best thing about it is that none of this makes it inaccessible to newbies who have never played the game, it works great as a pulp fantasy story, with a truly great mix of genuine character moments and humor. It takes the subject matter seriously but also embraces the absurdity of living in a world where a cat could fall down your chimney then turn into a young woman and walk out your front door.

I don’t know whether or not this is true, but I’m reblogging this because we live in a world where the third search result when I tried researching the validity of this information was a link to an article about a weight loss product.

The second search result had included the slur “ob*se” in the title of the article.

There are seriously people who tell me fat people aren’t oppressed. Meanwhile, trying to find information about how to keep a fat person from drying in a car crash is met with links to products that make dirty money off of how society views my body.

I immediately gave up trying to research this.

The tiktok is correct. Basically it’s about arranging your belt so it there is an accident the pressure is in your strongest bones.

“Seatbelt should be across your hips rather than your stomach for everyone, but i think it’s more common for fat people to wear seatbelts over the stomach

Pelvic bones are strong and sturdy, and you’re going to be MUCH less likely to injure internal organs and such when you suddenly slam into a nylon belt”

I wanted to put both of these reblogs in one reblog chain since this is helpful information. Thank you both for giving more information than fatphobic Google did.

Thanks to everyone who worked on verifying this information.
