Pinned thread of fanfics. Have to start off with my beloved longfic which is now a series.

archiveofourown.org/works/444192...

Screenshot of Ao3 fanfic Relentless Entropy, by Bossymare. The summary reads as follows:
Burned out, lonely but insistent on making it on her own, Dr. Lumine Viatrix is struggling to make ends meet as a scientific consultant. She accepts an interview request from the Yashiro Corporation, convinced it's just for a normal job, but nothing could have prepared her for the truth. Join our brave hero as she meets the Kamisato family and inextricably intertwines her fate with theirs. Set in a modern Teyvat that harbors an ancient secret, our hero's journey includes action, adventure and, of course, romance

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

A lot of centrist commentators who genuinely got worked up about the unforgivably insulting nature of "cling to guns and religion" or "basket of deplorables" are weirdly silent about Trump portraying himself as literally shitting on American cities

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

So many but feels on brand for this dude.

A screenshot from reddit, of the character Aventurine, from Honkai Star Rail. He's depicted with four phrases around him, connected by arrows. The first phrase " life is all about risks" has an arrow that points to the next phrase "I take a risk." The arrows then lead to the phrase "it fucking works" followed by "I remain unpunished." The arrows then return to the first phrase.

Amazing that “No kings and no Nazis” is suddenly a controversial slogan and up for debate in 2025. These are the two most basic creeds of American history.

The Trump administration is offering $60K in student loan forgiveness as a recruitment tool for ICE, which just proves fighting Biden on student loan relief was never about the loans or “paying your own debt.” It was about who was offering it and who it would’ve helped.

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.

My friends, they have lost the flag.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

the whole article could have just been ten pages of “Brilliant Things Eleanor O’Brien Said,” and some gold was left on the cutting room floor, but this is such a banger of a closer and it’s so very much the theme of today

"I want people to know that what's happening in Portland - the creativity, the irreverence, the refusal to be intimidated - that's replicable," she says. "Every city has artists. Every community has weirdos. We just need to find each other and start creating the alternative story. The revolution doesn't have to look like a protest.
Make it weird. When they tell you to cover up, shut up, and comply, the most radical thing you can do is be visible, speak truth, and take up space. With joy. Tap into your creativity. Art isn't a luxury in times like these - it's survival."

I find it strange how rarely people in the U.S. and outside of it truly contend with how VAST the country is geographically.

Folks LOVE to mention France but Paris has a population of 2 million people and is 40 square miles.

NYC has a population of 8.5 million and is over 460 square miles

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

The tiny group of pro-Trump counterprotesters at one of the No Kings protests by us started screaming that all of the other protesters were "woke fascists silencing us" because there weren't close to equal numbers, and I just want you all to know this
