i do think being in a tiny fandom is prophylactic against a lot of ao3 author complaints. like no kudos in 2-4 weeks? yeah that sounds right

I saw someone complaining about fics being shared but like... the epub feature is built into ao3 so I don't really get it tbh

you do know the end of every downloaded fic is this note. It links back to the original url. It’s not like people somehow are trying to circumvent giving you clicks and kudos and comments- the downloads are literally set up to encourage reader interaction.

Getting a bunch of boomers to sell their homes and move onto a boat, just for the person they voted for to start a war that makes the fuel for the boat too expensive, and then the boomers get marooned in another country, now unable to afford new housing in this economy HOLY BASED
also yeah like. australia recently banned across the board surcharges (ie. you need to actually be able to pay the price listed on the menu/price sheet/whatever) so maybe im a little spoiled but come on

"here's some important tips for young trans women who might not be used to socializing much!"
and it's just "give me money" over and over. you even have a "if you mess up somehow, tip me extra" entry. fucking joke country.

follow-up step: Stop Paying After Every Drink!
this is a majorly time-wasting nuisance. open a tab, pay when you’re done for the night. you are slowing your bartender down drastically for no reason if it’s already busy. especially if you aren’t tipping well lmao???
normally im able to "oh different cultures whatever" but this thread is such a visceral reminder of why i'll never go to the US

reading "the rise and fall of the third reich" on the bus, alternating the whole time between shaking my head and nodding, so people know i disapprove of the rise of the third reich but approve of the fall of the third reich nitter.cf/phosphor_glow/status/2…

An all-transmasc Ironman trio just won 3rd place in a major men's triathlon, beating over 200 other men's teams. 🏊♂️🏃🚴♂️ Trans men win men's competitions all the time, but media doesn't pays attention because it doesn't fit their narrative. I think we should celebrate trans men's victories, too! 🏆

we have to get taika waititi back on new zealand cocaine. he is not suited for the wider cocaine ecosystem in the same way our enormous yet helpless birds cannot thrive around even the smallest of mammalian predators

some of us like to read things that are actually good because good writing is enjoyable and bad writing is not. hope this helps.
