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

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

If you think “No Kings” is not anti-imperial enough, take note. I took a Palestine sign to the first one and while I saw others, I got a lot of engagement from folks. Even if they’re organized by lib normies, these events need NOT be a ceiling. They’re a floor. Go raise the roof at them.

Aubrey Gilleran @aubreygilleran.bsky.social · 8h

Can report back from the Charlotte No Kings that "free Palestine" is now, if not the normie lib position, then at least fully accepted among the normie libs. Lots of signs and flags scattered about, no apparent drama at all.

It brings me an extraordinary amount of joy to know that these people are having their weekends ruined by an outburst of positive liberalism and a nationwide celebration of the rule of law.

I know something about aircraft pricing, and when you "need" to get updated avionics, safety equipment etc.

This is grotesquely wasteful, unnecessary, and self-aggrandizing.

No Kings. Also, no cosplay Marie Antoinettes.

And Remember: spreading fascist bullshit around to dunk on it is still spreading fascist bullshit around.

By my count: Of the 15 Departments of the US Government, 13 launched new BlueSky accounts tonight (all but Justice and HUD), and all 13 have posted explicitly partisan political posts blaming Democrats and/or Chuck Schumer for the government shutdown.
