Hi. I'm a college student in Iowa. I write occasionally, and read not nearly as much as I want to. I'm a Hufflepuff and a beater on my school's Quidditch team and it's honestly a really good time. Oh also my name's Nancy. she/20/gay af

    a) do you really think someone would put all that time and energy into making an infinity stone jewelry piece if they didn’t know all about the infinity stones

    b) I don’t see you putting all that time and energy into making an infinity stone jewelry piece, what have you contributed lately besides being a dick to people for no reason

    c) who gives a shit if you can’t name all the stones, you’re allowed to enjoy the shit you enjoy without some whiney ass loser quizzing you to the smallest detail

    I will NEVER FORGET my first convention.  A table was doing Transformers trivia and you could win a prize.  The men in front of me were asked fairly difficult questions.  

    Then I rolled up.  Dressed as Thrust because buttwings, damnit.

    “Oh, we’ll go easy on you,” the dude said in the most condescending, smarmy tone.  “Name one of the dinobots.”

    I rattled all five off in alphabetical order, and demanded that they tell me all six Constructicons.

    There were several guys at the table.  They managed five.

    “You forgot Bonecrusher,” I said sweetly and walked off.  I didn’t want the prize I’d rightfully earned.  Their spluttering was all I wanted.

    If you’re gonna gatekeep, I’m gonna DESTROY YOU.

    Great story BUT… You shouldn’t have to destroy them!!

    You don’t have to love something in a ridiculously obsessive way that knows every tiny fucking detail for your love of it to bring you joy. If that’s how they get joy, cool, nice for them. But you don’t have to.

    You can casually love a thing, cosplay as a thing, go to cons for a thing, without dissecting it into little pieces.

    Women do not have to be exceptional in order to belong.

    WOMEN DO NOT HAVE TO BE EXCEPTIONAL IN ORDER TO BELONG

    me every month: has my period AGAIN 

    me every month: 

    image

    Welllllllllllllll periods suck(trust me, I was emotionally close with a woman, in fact close enough to feel her goddamn periods. Fuck I fucking hated it, men, don’t get that attached. Be supportive, feed her ice cream and whatever else she asks for, but don’t get attached enough to feel them. It’s not worth it.

    Anyway, I hate to be callous but that’s just your body telling you to hurry up and get pregnant. Of course birth control also makes them not as bad, depending on what kind. Of course you find out that there’s more kinds of birth control than there are types of oil, which is a pain. There are more period blood containment things(yes, tht includes tampons, pads, cups, etc.) than there are types of oil according to my dad who actually knows his shit about the oil,saying there’s like 4 types.(Yes, talking about motor oil here)

    So ladies, find what’s right for you. Ask a doctor. Test some different period things out. It’s for your own good

    What the FUCK are you talking about

    I thought I couldn’t fucking read for a minute

    What

    Did. This guy just. Assume women didnt. Know that. Did he just mansplain periods

    cis dude giving period advice: did u kno they make products you can wear that will absorb the blood? you should really look into that

    “i was emotionally close with a woman”

    Don’t worry I’ll also mention CAR OIL so you know I’m not gay

    It’s you’re adventure you can do whatever you want but watch out!

    HI, THIS EXISTS, IT’S CALLED EVERMORE PARK, IT’S IN PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH

    it’s more of a DND park but it’s fantasy and characters give you quests and when you finish quests they give you a tarot card with the characters on it

    The town functions as a real-time story with a plot and everybody has backstory and movie-quality makeup and shit

    writing tip: don’t tell us your character’s backstory. don’t tell us what your character is thinking. don’t tell us what your character is doing. don’t tell us anything. the reader should simply look at a blank page and be suddenly overcome with emotion.

    Good tip. I know a lot of writers who cry uncontrollably when they see a blank page, so I’m sure that feeling will translate directly to the reader.

  • Travel warning: four days until Trump’s shut-down costs TSA screeners their first paycheck

    ralfmaximus:

    mostlysignssomeportents:

    image

    In four days, federal employees will suffer their first missed paycheck since Trump’s border wall shutdown; it’s hard to say who will be worst hit: the employees who are furloughed will never see that money (but who may have been able to pick up some other work while they were off the job to cover their bills); or the “essential” federal employees who’ve had to show up for work every day without pay, but who will, someday, get a paycheck to cover their forced labor.

    In the latter group are 51,739 TSA “officers” (TSA screeners aren’t cops, but they’ve adopted the “officer” honorific in a bid to secure flyers’ obedience while they confiscate their apple-pie filling). Since the shut-down began, TSA officials have insisted that screeners were not staging “sick outs” (for example, to avoid daycare expenses by staying home with their kids) and that the extra waiting time that passengers were suffering through (53 minutes in Laguardia!) was the result of heavier than usual travel.

    But after Friday, TSA screeners will have to decide whether they want to stay on the job without pay, and it’s a sure bet that lots of them will stay home, and there’s not much the TSA can do about it. A TSA walkout would cripple the nation’s businesses and strike directly at higher-income Americans (that is, the people who supported Trump as he used racist wall promises to secure the votes needed for a two-trillion-dollar tax giveaway to the wealthy).

    What happens next is anyone’s guess. Trump’s probably right that giving in on the wall will lose him any chance of re-election as discouraged racists stay home from the polls (as they had done historically, until Trump gave them something to vote for), and deliver victory to Democrats who have a small but meaningful chance of taxing the shit out of looters and oligarchs. But the patience of looters and oligarchs – with the exception of a few long-term thinkers like Charles Koch – is in notoriously short supply. If Trump loses the racists, he won’t be able to help the billionaires. But if he loses the billionaires, he won’t be able to afford to court the racists.

    https://boingboing.net/2019/01/08/racists-vs-billionaires.html

    TSA employees cannot continue to work without pay. Nobody can. That’s not politics, that’s simple fact. Even the most die-hard TSA enforcer has to eat and pay their bills.

    Which means at some point in the near future the TSA will be unable to perform airport screenings and will declare a shutdown. After that, things can only go two ways:

    1. Airports simply stop TSA screenings and waive passengers onto flights as if it was pre-9/11 America.

    OR

    2. Airports are totally shut down, citing security concerns.

    #1 would demonstrate how airport screenings are security theater and utterly worthless, designed to keep us afraid. Airports operated perfectly for 50 years without forcing passengers to take off their shoes or surrender pocket knives & shampoo. Bypassing the scary body scanners & invasive blue gloves because we can’t pay the TSA would remind Americans this is all bullshit.

    #2 would be an economic disaster. Average citizens would riot. Americans who commute via air would be forced into unemployment, and the airline industry itself would teeter on the edge of ruin. The brief airport shutdown of 2001 literally drove some regional airlines out of business. The ripple effect would impact hundreds of service industries including catering, hotels, car rental companies… the economic impact would be apocalyptic.

    So which will it be?

    Prepare for increasing weirdness if this shutdown isn’t resolved very soon.

  • RCMP set up ‘exclusion zones’ for public and media as raid on B.C. camps start - APTN News

    allthecanadianpolitics:

    The RCMP are setting up exclusion zones and closed roads to the public and media as officers get set to dismantle two camps on unceded Wet’suwet’en territory.

    “During the police enforcement operation, temporary exclusion zones and road closures will be established for police and public safety reasons,” said the news release sent out Monday morning that confirmed the RCMP will enforce a court order requested by a pipeline company trying to build a pipeline through Wet’suwet’en territory.

    “Those areas will be clearly marked and media/public are welcome to stand at the perimeter, but no one will be allowed to enter the exclusion zones. These zones will only be maintained as long as necessary.”

    See full statement here: What to expect during the police enforcement of court ordered injunction in Houston, BC

    The raids have been highly anticipated after a B.C. judge granted an interim injunction in December against two check points leading to the construction site for the LNG Coastal GasLink pipeline.

    Continue Reading.

    you know, that whole thing when a colonist militaristic police force storms a indigenous encampment, removes it’s people who live there, all for corporate interest, so we can pump more oil out, and accelerate the death of the planet. 

    Then once the Cops storm the place, they declare an “exclusion zone” deploy a wifi and cell blockage, AND exclude media. All so no news of it gets out.

    You all need to be fucking outraged. 
    We live in a police state, and the moment your life gets in the way of making money, you cease to matter. 

    Hey Americans, you know how we Canadians all shared information about Standing Rock as it was happening?

    We’re having a very similar situation in Canada right now.

    Now would be a good time to reciprocate.

    This is happening RIGHT NOW.

    Nobody on this site besides me and a few other bloggers are talking about this. 

    Like there are only 2 or 3 blogs in total in the #Wet’suwet’en or #Unist’ot’en or Unist’ot’en Camp hashtags from the past week.

    this is happening January 7, 2019

    Also donate to the Gidumt’en checkpoint go fund me:

    On December 16, 2018, Wet’suwet’en Hereditary House Chiefs reaffirmed, once again, their stance on  oil and gas export pipelines in Wet’suwet’en Yintah (traditional lands). This decision was validated in the feast hall where Wet’suwet’en decisions are enacted into law. While some Wet’suwet’en Indian Act Bands and corporations have signed on to the Coastal Gas Link Agreement, the Wet’suwet’en hereditary leadership–who have jurisdiction over 22,000 square kilometers of traditional territories–have not given their free, prior, and informed consent to any oil or gas company to build pipelines in their lands and waters.   The Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs have not made any agreement with the Canadian or British Columbian governments to surrender or permit access to Wet’suwet’en lands for any pipeline corridors or construction activities.

    To enforce this decision, the house chiefs of all five Wet’suwet’en clans agreed by consensus to assert control of the Gitdumden Clan territory that borders to the west of Unistot’en lands.  As such, a checkpoint is erected at the 44 km mark on the Morice Lake Forest Service Road and will follow a free, prior, and informed consent protocol whereby anyone seeking access to Gitdumden territory will be required to present themselves, respectfully, to spokespeople at the site. The checkpoint will remain in effect until further notice.

    We are seeking financial support to get supplies for the checkpoint and it’s supporters as well as any likely legal fees that will be incurred by the members.

    ** In order to ensure a smooth transition I have added Cody Merriman as a recipient to the funds. He is the partner of the Cas Yex spokesperson Molly Wickham and will be collecting funds for supplies as needed. **
    GoFundMe has requested I publicly post this information for transparency to all of our supporters in order to release funds. Misiyh.
