Amy Poehler says parenthood cost her dream job. SNL kicked her out after she had her baby.
Interviewer: “How’d you know when it was time to leave SNL?”
Amy Poehler: “I was pregnant, and I had to have that baby. But then I came back after I had the baby, and then they were like, ‘You gotta get out of here. You gotta go take care of your baby.’ And I was like, ‘But I want to stay with you guys.’ And they were like, ‘Nope, you have to leave.’
It’s very hard to figure out when it’s time to go because it’s such a… it’s like, you know, a dream job.”

man I’m only just gonna say this: refusing to leave a simple kudos on a work u liked enough to Download is saying more about Your character than it does about the authors wanting a breadcrumb of an appreciation.

most fic writers don’t want engagement to “get famous” or anything. it’s just that when you put your heart into something, it feels good to know people liked and enjoyed it. it also helps motivation to write more. if you ignore fic writers, there won’t be any more fics to read🤷♀️

i'll never understand why some people treat writers like money-hungry influencers
god forbid someone wanted some form of acknowledgment for the hours they've spent working on something. people forget writing is a lonely hobby, and if you receive silence, it's just not worth it

people are so fkn disingenuous “ao3 is an archive not a fic site why are you expecting people to comment” you bitch and moan about how you cant survive 12 hours without your bedtime stories but treat writers like shit. dont be surprised when some of them dont come back after this

For those of you fighting writers who keep asking for their work to not be thrown around like candy…this is directly from AO3’s T&Cs.
tldr: if you don’t have direct permission, then you Don’t Have Permission.

Brazilian women can now get a tubal ligation after age 21 without needing their husband’s approval, a major victory for reproductive rights! a man’s desire to have children does not give him veto power over a woman’s body. your disappointment is not her obligation.

"The Great Taboo of Western Media"
Irish journalist and commentator Barry Malone and Pulitzer Prize-winning American writer Benjamin Moser, author of Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History, join Palestine Deep Dive for a wide-ranging discussion on Zionism, anti-Zionism, media complicity and the language shaping public debate around Israel and Palestine.
Drawing on the history of Jewish opposition to Zionism, the conversation explores Britain’s role in the Zionist movement, the politics of antisemitism and the silencing of dissent. They also examine the Green Party’s recent adoption of its “Zionism is Racism” motion and the debate it has sparked.
With Israeli elections bringing renewed attention to Benjamin Netanyahu, the discussion also addresses whether a change of prime minister would address the deeper questions of Palestinian self-determination and equal rights.

Palestinians are so dehumanized that this is still called a “ceasefire.”

An IDF bulldozer crushed 23-year-old American activist Rachel Corrie to death.
@grok, did JEWS mock her death by making “Rachel Corrie pancakes” and posting photos celebrating it?
Start with yes no.

I looked into this and apparently the judge who let him go free has a history of giving sex offenders lenient sentences. There was even a 2025 petition made to have him removed from his position after he allowed a man who admitted to sexually abusing a 6 year old to not have to register as a sex offender and suspended his sentence to just probation.
Prior to that he allowed another man who plead guilty to raping a teen to also not have to register as a sex offender AND suspended his sentence to just probation as well. There are apparently SIX different cases where he has done this not including this case.
His name is Judge Michael Whyte and these are the case numbers where he has allowed men who have raped and abused children to go free.

And here is the phone number to the courthouse where he works so you can leave a nice message letting them know how you feel about them employing this man :) 208-742-1673 citizens in Idaho need to be made aware of this!

Sobbing missionary admits he raped girl, 15, in Tesla because he was going through a breakup... as judge who let him get married while on bail allows him to walk free trib.al/5ZaL0d8
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Krew Zaugg was not allowed to walk free. The judge sentenced him to Idaho’s retained jurisdiction ("rider") program, requiring up to one year of treatment in custody. Afterward, the judge will decide whether to send him to prison for 4 to 14 years. eastidahonews.com/2026/10/idaho-…

I have heard enough, just get Adam Brody a new series regular gig on a cool 5th season next, like The Diplomat or The Gilded Age.
He should not have to put up with a boss and a co-star publicly shading him for, checks notes, condemning child mass murder and mutilation.
'Nobody Wants This' creator Erin Foster tells Dax Shepard she and the writers have been brainstorming ideas for him to potentially appear in season 4
"We've been writing you into the season. It's not like you have to be there all season or anything, but it would be pivotal, and an important role. And we felt like it would be a very fun, interesting thing to do," Foster said.

I’m actually mad because it took all of five hours for people to start immediately turning on fic writers yet again. God forbid we pour our hearts and time into this hobby and don’t want to do it to a void? God forbid we don’t want our stuff reposted??

It's so crazy to me how people don't realise this. You can easily spend 2 years writing a fic. I have. And someone who's spent a few hours reading will come and moan to you because they feel disrespected or exploited or whatever. Like if anyone is being exploited it's the WRITER.

I don't even like anything in there personally but they get coins from me for being the only big UK beauty brand to stand openly for Palestine. So if you get/got a Lush gift....this is why.

Actually, this is good. People who’s like “I use ao3 every day but I’d NEVER donate” and “authors SHOULD—” or “I don’t read WIPs and I don’t comment or leave kudos”, etc etc etc, can use this time from reflection
Anyway, thank you ao3 volunteers, you are awesome
We estimate that service restoration for #AO3 will take around 2 weeks but it could be up to 4 weeks. We are hopeful that we will be able to bring the site back up in a degraded state sooner. Refer to our status page for updates: otwstatus.org/
