Black People Do Not Have To Be Exceptional For Their Right To Life!!!!

Get over yourself. Words on paper about fake people from a fake universe are not hurting you because they exist. Let people write what they want. AO3 exists BECAUSE people like you want to censor freedom of expression.

woooowwwww. im not censoring freedom of expression. im saying that glorifying rape, sexual abuse, underage content, etc. is wrong and ao3 actively promotes it by not having any rules. 

people are posting incest fics, rape fics, etc. NOW, if youre going to write a story about incest where you are not glorifying it and you make it categorically clear that incest is wrong and the topic is handled in the correct way with respect to those survivors, that is different and that is tackling a different topic. writing a story where you actually ship two siblings together because you think incest is hot or good, etc., is glorification.

here’s an example ive used before. in my WIP, one of my characters was sexually abused before the story. the character’s rapist is not redeemed, the character is not forced into a relationship with the rapist and so on. in rape fics on ao3, these characters are abused and then are forced into relationships with their abuser, because the author thinks rape is hot or good. RAPE IS A VIOLATION OF BODILY AUTONOMY AND CONSENT. RAPE IS ABSOLUTELY VILE AND GLORIFYING IT LIKE THESE RAPE FICS DO IS ABHORRENT.

im an author myself so i understand the whole freedom of expression. i write stories with serious themes so that i can tackle them and handle them with care and respect to victims and survivors. rape fics, incest fics, etc. are offensive to survivors.

also i find “get over yourself” infinitely amusing. i have mental health problems and often struggle to hold a high opinion of myself so trust me when i say i dont have anything to get over anyway. fiction affects reality and when a platform like ao3 is so big, it is definitely affecting reality.

edit also, the fact that ppl are defending these fics proves the fiction affecting reality thing.

Everyday, Black women and girls are missing and either never found or found dead.

Say HER name.

15 year old JOY LYNN. She is missing from Dallas, Texas. The police aren't doing anything, so please, if you suspect anything, found a clue, or whatever, come forward.

hey a family friend is in an ICE detention center about to be deported and he really needs money for a lawyer! i’m going to reblog with a link to donate because i hear tumblr fucks with posts with links

Well, the deer survived the initial arrow to the chest which explains the bone that grew around it, it probably died of something else like old age or, more likely, was eaten by another animal/human and for a pretty long while after since the arrow is almost completely covered by bone.

You're seeing its ribcage because it was already dead when found or the person who caught the deer was like "Metal" and kept it.

Shenanigans might have happened which meant it got handed around and is now displayed in this fancy as glass case in a museum or something

He’s got a point

If you want to help people affected by the explosion, I beg of you please don't donate to petitions! The government will most likely steal it because our lebanese gov is just amazing like that 😒🙃🙃

If you do want to help please donate to the red cross. Also try and find lebanese people asking you to directly help them(kofi patreon and idk what else there is). Our houses, shops, etc... Are all shattered so we need more direct donation to be able to help.

Thankfully my house wasn't affected, but there's an artist on Instagram named Audrey (@audreyghousoub)that has put up a kofi link in one of her stories to directly help her rebuild her house. That's the only person ik who needs help (well at least with money) so it would mean a lot to help her. Edit: here's the link.

Other than that, if anyone else needs help, don't hesitate to just say it! Everyone is willing to help💕 stay safe everyone!

3,2,1 let's go
