My brain is just a mishmash of different fandoms at this point.

So I went to read the Kids Online Safety Act, thinking that it couldn't possibly be as bad as what people are making it out to be, I mean I'm a lawyer and expert in statutory interpretation, it can't be that bad, right?
Oh no. KOSA IS that bad. It will literally eradicate queer people online.
The bill says that a "covered platform" - broadly defined as "anything on the internet a minor might use" which is literally the entire fucking internet- has a "duty" to protect minors from anything that might harm them, including "sexual exploitation" and other undefined terms
It also gives state attorneys general the ability to sue to enforce it.
So here's exactly what's gonna happen:
Wacko republicans, as they've been doing with increasing force this year and last, are going to sue any and every website in existence, saying that the mere existence of LGBT people online constitutes sexual abuse of minors. And websites are gonna be so afraid of not doing the most that they'll just axe all LGBT everything.
Like. Republicans have been calling all LGBT people groomers and child molesters for years. The lead Republican literally admitted this bill will be used to attack trans people.
This bill is BAD bad. I'm appalled that democrats are lining up behind what is clearly a republican Trojan horse to eradicate LGBT people from the entire internet.

Hello Mr. Gaiman. Recently I have failed to accomplish a life-long goal that cost me a lot of effort and time I won't get back. I don't want to go into details, I just want to know if you have some words of solace or comofrt for this poor soul.
The best comfort I can give is that most of the good things that have happened to me were preceded by awful, terrible things I wouldn't have wished upon an enemy. And if the bad things hadn't happened, the good things couldn't have happened either. I'm not saying "Cheer up, things always work out for the best" or anything like that. But life, in retrospect, is an odd thing, and looking back I'd even keep most of the bad bits.
Holy shit
Everyone needs to reblog this
ATTENTION ALL GIRLS AND LADIES: if you walk from home, school, office or anywhere and you are alone and you come across a little boy crying holding a piece of paper with an address on it, DO NOT TAKE HIM THERE! take him straight to the police station for this is the new 'gang' way of rape. The incident is getting worse. Warn your families. Reblog this so this message can get accross to everyone.

“This character is dead in canon” to you. They’re dead in canon to you. To me they’re fine

Saw a video on tiktok of someone re-binding a copy of the Hobbit and giving it a really beautiful new cover and I could not get the idea of Steve doing that for Eddie out of my head.
He hears Eddie mention in passing that he's always preferred homemade gifts (partly bc of the thought that goes into them but also because people spending money on him makes him uncomfortable) and Steve decides he needs to think of something he can make Eddie.
Steve may not be considered "clever" by the others but I'm convinced that boy is a do-er. When it comes to physical and practical skills, he will just learn and do it. He painstakingly researched and buys leather and special glue for book blinding, and even learns calligraphy so he can write beautifully on the inside cover.
And when he presents it to Eddie, wrapped in stiff expensive wrapping paper, Eddie asks where he got it and Steve says casually
"I made it"
As if he didn't spend months, didn't ruin at least 5 other copies of the Hobbit before he got it right, as if it wasn't so much work and time.
But Eddie gets it anyway, he understands and that's why he immediately bursts into tears.
Sure
What have I been up to for the last seven years? Well, I had what in the old days used to be called a nervous breakdown, then I wrote a novel, then I got a weird disease inside my ear caused labyrinthitis which has a great name but literally nothing else to recommend about it. Then I wrote a book of essays. Also, I started a podcast, but who didn’t?
Oh, and I got really fucking good at making memes.
doES ANYONE ELSE REALIZE THAT WE’RE LIKE, THE FIRST GENERATION ON TUMBLR
GIVE IT 10-15 YEARS AND WE’LL ALL BE GROWN UP AND AN ENTIRE NEW SET OF KIDS WILL BE ON HERE BLOGGING ABOUT COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SHOWS AND BANDS AND MOVIES AND BOOKS
THE ONLY THING THEY’LL STILL BE BLOGGING ABOUT THE SAME AS WE WERE IS DOCTOR WHO
HOPEFULLY
Everyone’s opposed to nepotism until God has a kid, and then it’s like, “Oh, the Son will be our God, too.”

It seems like there's more positivity on Tumblr than other platforms (*cough*Twitter*cough*). Like, you can say "I love you, bestie." without anyone calling you corny or childish.
Y'know what? Reblog this to let your besties know you love them.
being aware of the impact of things we can often not think about (like straws) is important if we’re to make strides on environmental preservation
that does not eclipse the importance of being aware of how it impacts disabled people. they’re both conversations we need to have
Why is writing song lyrics so difficult? I'm just writing out my thoughts and feelings in a way that makes sense to other people, has a melody, and won't make everybody cringe at me...
So it was just finals week for me, right? Besides 2 test finals (Monday and Tuesday) , 1 final project (Due Last Sunday - Presented Monday), and a bunch of précis for AP Lang (Due this Tuesday), I also just wrote like 5 essays today. For my AP Lang class. Because I was stupid and forgot to work on it, so I did it at the last minute.
I'm about ready to kill myself I swear to gods /hj /j
