Is there someone with whom I can scream about something fandom related in DMs?

I think some fans wrap their real life marginalized identity up in media interpretations and then get hurt when other fans have different interpretations. Stuff like whether a character is a lesbian or bisexual. Or whether a relationship is queerplatonic or romantic.

Saw someone propose kickstarter style funding as an alternative to copyright, and while I appreciate that they understood that art needs to be funded, I think they massively underestimated how much upfront costs artistic projects can have.

So yeah, if you're represented by a Republican in a district that was carried by less than 20 points, tomorrow would be a good day to call and demand that the ACA subsidies continue.
The good news is Republicans in Congress are shitting their pants right about now

Every time I repost this because I don't have enough money to exist (this time it's that my light bill is due tomorrow (very important) and i couldn't afford to pay Nov's CC bill (less important but they are calling me daily about it)) i get a bit bitter because i'm only slightly more secure now...🙃
The exciting update is that *I just got a job*. (I'm still open to freelance work tho!!)

The bad news: I won't get paid until the 30th and don't have money for my current big bills OR transportation (since I have to Uber/Lyft there)

Help is appreciated but NOT expected!

I have nothing but compassion for the student who handed in, via Canvas, a link to a fic on AO3 rather than a link to a googledoc with her assignment

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

it is unlimited.

This cross-pollination IS how new ideas happen. EVERY field needs humanistic thinking, that's why they call PhDs "Doctors of Philosophy"

Currently dorking out over this graph about child mortality with my brother. Just mind boggling to take in.

The voice acting audio drama scene is, like, I want a trans woman for my lead role. I hope can find someone!

...

Oh, I have two. Even if I raise 0 dollars and can't pay someone money, I've got two. One would be VA bartering, the second just loves the AD community.

I also love this community! 😭🥰

Some don’t understand that demonising refugees& asylum seekers is a red line for any healthy nation. As a group of people, like any other, they include the brilliant, good & bad, but labelling them as lesser humans undeserving of compassion, safety & equality is definitely bad for the whole country.

People still constantly bring up my AI Statement page in the Scream zine. Some folks say it made them cry! I was going to be more eviscerating but instead felt the best way to make my point was just to be totally raw and vulnerable in a way AI can't be. sara-century.square.site

I guess a part of me is trying to be braver about posting my art experiments despite being an utter amateur because well. Maybe it can encourage other writers like me to learn to be okay and have fun experimenting too. Its so much more worthwhile than AI slop

queer creatives have spent their entire lives surviving out of spite, the idea that you could make some of the most justified haters on earth acquiesce to genAI is delusional.

I've trained my entire life for this, you are like a little fucking baby. I will spit on your name from my deathbed.
“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to
