these arent the only ones i send to, but the point of this thread is that i'll keep adding 1 each month that im still playing ffxiv

(i've never actually paid a ffxiv sub, but someone said its like 20CAD, so thats roughly what im going with)
(qt and match if you can ♡)

the writing feels confident in holding tension and carefully setting up the layers for meaningful moments (eg. inheriting ill-fitting clothes, lateness for practice—as outward signal of inner conflict + excuses to have them interact more), i really really wanna see how this plays out

im a huge sap for the artist/writer couple aspect + the inner conflict of having to front with something different from the passions you've learned to suppress—to the point where sometimes you cant even tell you're having inner conflict

ive only caught up to the 4 eps that were released, but the writing and the performances especially have me reeling and genuinely bawling already

so project super crush is filling this very very specific niche and doing an incredible job of it—while also concentrating on the dearth of Black BL in fandom space

occasionally i look through audiobooks for certain actors/voice actors, and its by chance that i ever stumble upon them voicing in lgbt themed books (eg. wyll's actor, raubahn's newer va, wuk lamat's va)

not that its unheard of for eng dub voice actors to work on BL (the last one i can recall is Kono Danshi, Mahou ga Oshigoto Desu)…but its not the same level of ubiquity

like. take practically any popular anime seiyuu guy, chances are that hes worked on more than a few BL audio dramas

A set of screenshots involving frostedbiticles and I's ocs, Demetrius and Krieg, as they get lunch together and chat. Demetrius is a black Hellsguard Roegadyn with dark blue-ish hair and green eyes. He's dressed in a green sweater and jeans and wears glasses. Krieg is a brown Highlander Hyur with amber eyes and dark brown hair with grey streaks. Archon marks are on both sides of his neck and he is dressed in a cream shirt with his work apron carrying his drafting tools. In the first image, Demi is holding his cup of tea Demi: Cid's passion for what he does is always so... It's contagious! And have I mentioned how he fiddles with his goggles? He does it so often... it's so cute- Krieg chimes in with a teasing smile as he nurses his own tea, causing Demi to blush, Krieg: I think I've heard you mumble about it from time to time... Demi places his tea down, bashful but with a smile on his face as he turns to Krieg, Demi: Aha... W-well... enough about me! I've been talking your ear off for awhile! So what about you! Any lovely partner of your own? Krieg's expression suddenly shifts at the question, something akin to hesitation and sadness crossing his eyes. Krieg places his tea down on the table, Krieg: I... (he sighs)... That isn't something to be... curious or concerned with. Demi's expression drops slightly as he regards Krieg's movements, Demi: Oh! Right, of course. That's your personal business... A zoomed out shot of both of them taken from above. It shows them sitting quietly as the branches above adorned with pink petals sway softly with the sea breeze.

It’s truly tragic how many of these US war criminals like Cheney never face justice and die in their peacefully in their homes in their 80s and 90s. I want to be happy he is dead but I am not. The million people he killed didnt get the luxury to die how he did.

i'm much more concerned about bluesky nuking link's account despite being on a different PDS; more concerned about Black women and trans people getting harassed off here; more concerned about bluesky taking huge swipes at the palestinian population trying to survive a genocide.

posted this thread about the HF stuff a few days ago. lack of consent in favor of technical/legalistic rationalizations, lack of consideration for lopsided power disparities, inattention to cross-platform abuse; it's really frustrating to see such errors in judgment persist in data ethics practices

this bsky situation in particular is in some ways complex but in other ways really not complex. in one sense, it is technically possible to scrape everything and technically impossible to make it private. that's true

The problem is devs want to treat data as a property rights issue when personal data are actually observations of behavior to be used as evidence—primarily for social surveillance and control. It is rendering people in your community into relationships with power outside of their control or consent.

i just think a lot of tech companies float in this space where they pretend to have basically no moral agency of their own except what is overwhelmingly popular, or legally mandated; and i was mildly disappointed in HF for being just like a bunch of other unremarkable tech co's

tech people will literally be flummoxed by someone being like "you don't have to do something, but you should exercise your moral judgment and ask for consent anyway"

Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales is trying to use his name to convince Wikipedia editors to deny the Gaza Genocide, recognized by many human rights organizations.

Although he's not seizing control, this is an extreme attempt to sway Wikipedia content in violation of its founding principles.
This message is from me, Jimbo Wales, founder of Wikipedia. I believe that Wikipedia is at its best when we can have reasonable discussion rooted in a commitment to write articles that reflect a neutral point of view. I believe that's especially important on highly difficult or contentious topics. I was asked point-blank in a high profile media interview about this article, and I answered with transparency and honesty: this article fails to meet our high standards and needs immediate attention. As many of you will know, I have been leading an NPOV working group and studying the issue of neutrality in Wikipedia across many articles and topic areas including “Zionism”. While this article is a particularly egregious example, there is much more work to do. It should go without saying that I am writing this in my personal capacity, and I am not speaking on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation or anyone else! I assume good faith of everyone who has worked on this Gaza “genocide” article. At present, the lede and the overall presentation state, in Wikipedia’s voice, that Israel is committing genocide, although that claim is highly contested. This is a violation of WP:NPOV and WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV that requires immediate correction. Remember: "This policy is non-negotiable, and the principles upon which it is based cannot be superseded by other policies or guidelines, nor by editor consensus." A neutral approach would begin with a formulation such as: “Multiple governments, NGOs, and legal bodies have described or rejected the characterization of Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide.” What I’m asking for Be bold and start editing (WP:BOLD). Move from debate to concrete improvements immediately. Assume good faith (WP:AGF). Avoid personalizing disagreements. Focus only on text and sources. Attribute, don’t assert (WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV). The lead and body must not declare a legal conclusion. Present who says what, with attribution and dates. Balance by due weight (WP:UNDUE). Include significant, high-quality sources from all sides—governments, courts, NGOs, commentators. No side should speak in Wikipedia’s own voice. Use the best sources (WP:RS / WP:V). Prefer primary official statements and major secondary coverage. Avoid synthesis (WP:SYN / WP:NOR). Clarify scope. Separate factual reporting on conduct and casualties from legal characterization. Editors with strong, policy-compliant sources who have felt sidelined are welcome. Your participation is needed now. Editors are reminded this article falls under the Arab–Israeli conflict topic area; all participation must comply with the corresponding editing restrictions and civility expectations. By focusing on verifiable sources and neutrality, we can quickly deliver an article that meets our standards for contentious topics. — Jimbo Wales Jimbo Wales (talk) 16:03, 2 November 2025 (UTC)

Note that, for all its pseudo-positivist emphasis on “neutrality,” the genocide denial side never rebuts any of the points in (say) the UN commission report in September. The best Jimmy Wales can do here is say ”the governments arming Israel say it isn’t one, so ’genocide’ has to go in scare quotes”
