“rap is the worst music genre” “no actually it’s soul” “no actually it’s jazz” “no actually it’s ska” “no actually it’s r&b” hey guys do you notice a common denominator in the genres you hate or is it just me
do you all remember in the early 2010s where people were talking about freeing the nipple and that mixed-gender sports should become a thing and the removal of period tax and all of that and then some people realised that would mean trans people too ans they instantly decided to revert to bioessentialism 101 and now i have to see grating sentences like Well maybe jeopardy should be gender-segregated because males have a biological advantage in pressing a button
This is the point we're at now by the way.
wait, enhance

Periodic reminder that Archive of Our Own was created to be a repository for all written fanworks without regard to inherent worth, morality, ethicality, artistic merit, or intelligibility. As long as the posting of the work does not violate US law, falls within fair use standards, and does not directly harass individuals, it can be posted on Archive of Our Own.
Efforts to further limit the scope of what can be posted and stored on Archive of Our Own will fail, because Archive of Our Own is a repository much like the internet or the Library of Congress pre-21st century (back when it kept a copy of every publication printed in the United States). As long as you are able to find objectionable material on the internet or in a library, you will be able to find objectionable material in Archive of Our Own.
People get upset with the lack of moderation on Archive of Our Own because they view it as "the place to go to read fanfic." But when it was created, there was no goal for Archive of Our Own to be a destination fanfic reading website. Most people who first used it would publish on other sites (LiveJournal, fanfic.net, message boards, and various fandom-specific sites) to be read and commented on, and add a backup copy to Archive of Our Own so that it would be preserved in case it was ever removed from the original website/the original website went down. In other words, it was used as an archive, just like in the name.
AO3 can still be used this way! You can do your primary fanfic reading and writing on other sites, then back up your own works to AO3 for safekeeping.
Even better, if you object to the content that you find on AO3 and don't want to use it to find fanfic, or don't want to post there because you feel that posting there would be tantamount to endorsing AO3's mission, Archive of Our Own will hand you the tools you need to create your own site with more restrictive guidelines!
How? The software Archive of Our Own runs on is open source and the entire code is posted on github, along with advice for implementation.
Not everyone is comfortable searching for fanfic on Archive of Our Own for fear of encountering triggering or objectionable content. By creating more fanfic sites and repositories with their own focuses and guidelines, we can create the safe spaces in fandom that people are looking for without endangering the archival mission of Archive of Our Own.
I AM SO FUCKING TIRED OF THIS AI SCRAPING BULLSHIT, STOP IT YOU MOTHERFUCKERS.
What!!!?!?!????!?!?? No way, is this reall because if so I need to know!! All my stuff goes on Google docs, for most of us that's what we use to share and edit like WTF
@27fanficlilies and others…
This is the exact reason why I don't write stuff on cloud-based softwares like Google (Google Docs) or Microsoft Office (Word online) or even Pages (iOS/Apple). Everything typed on them is analysed by a computer (especially during grammar correction and/or translation) and then used for the company's own purpose (nowadays AI training).
ALWAYS write on third-party softwares or apps if you like to write on your phone (like I do). As for sharing your work with others, first, turn it into a PDF file (pdf can easily be edited too these days) and only then share it through Google Drive or OneDrive.
Helpful tips: Using Word is actually alright as long as it isn't its online version. If you have the software installed on your PC, use this version rather than the one running through the Internet.
Here are also some writing apps I use(d) to write on my phone:
- Werdsmith
- MyStory
- Grammarly (works also on PC)
- Ulysses Mobile (works also on PC if I remember well)
- Fortelling - Writer Tools
‼️MISINFORMATION‼️
Google is not *currently* scraping data from Google docs to train their writing AI. More information on what it's doing can be found here -https://www.laptopmag.com/features/google-docs-ai-is-it-safe-im-a-novel-writer-and-tech-journalist-lets-talk
You should still consider moving your stuff because that may change, but as of posting Google is not training Bard on documents hosted in their cloud servers.
Also, Grammerly is *literally* an AI- powered writer and is *absolutely* is training their stuff on your work so run screaming from that @lucy-ashton
it’s so funny when people think cody is the boring clone trooper when cody literally body slams his metal opponents. cody is the MOST crazed he’s just a goddamn professional about it
I actually really like that about him. He’s not less brave or less daring or less quick-thinking than any of his brothers- he’s just structured and responsible. He WILL body slam fucking Grievous if it’s the last thing he can figure out to do, but just because he can do that kind stuff in the field, doesn’t mean he will set aside systems designed for the security of the war effort and his brothers. Like, I think about that convo between Anakin and Obi-Wan where Anakin is like, “I bet Cody is boring Rex with proper protocol,” and the thing is, Rex and Cody are meant to be doing an in-person inspection. Like, literally if they don’t follow protocol, why are they even going? I can totally believe Rex skipping some steps to get through the routine quicker, while Cody doesn’t mind being bored if he has to be. When Rex shoots the droid dressed as a clone, which was a fucking gamble, I like that Cody, while literally so fucking alarmed because risking something like that would never occur to him, he still takes the moment to ask Rex what the fuck before reacting. He follows the steps, is what I’m saying: first, try and understand the situation, then take action. I appreciate that.
When Cody does something batshit, he does it calmly, methodically, and logically, which is 10x funnier to me than when the other characters do dumb shit as a spur of the moment thing. Like, he did a full cost-benefit analysis and STILL decided that the smartest way to survive a fight with a 7′1 asthmatic murder cyborg was to fling his 5′9 body on top of it and hold it down. AND IT WORKED.
