On this, the anniversary of the lunar landing, let us also celebrate the greatest post-mission achievement by a crewman.

I refer, of course, to the time Buzz Aldrin (age 72 at the time) cold-cocked a moon landing conspiracy theorist straight in his smug face after being accused of being a coward, liar, and thief.

Yes, someone was indeed dumb enough to tell a man so unafraid of death that he was willing to go into the void on a fragile explosive rocket, a coward.

Said dumbass was filming this confrontation as some sort of proof of moon fraud, but has instead captured this glorious moment of near-cosmic justice for us to loop for all time.

Aldrin was not charged with any crime. He should have been given another medal for public service.

it would be kinda cool if hollywood being shut down had the side effect (besides hopefully getting everyone better working conditions ofc) of getting some non US movies and shows a bit more of a platform again outside the US, cause why the fuck is there like mostly only hollywood in much of the world, i love the chokehold US imperialism has on pop culture, it's great

Burnout is honestly such a mild word for what people use it to mean. I'm not experiencing "burnout", which sounds so casual and routine that some face masks and a little rest is going to fix it.

My body and mind and even nervous system are stretched to the point that it's going to take a lot more than just a "break" or a few self care tips to recover, and even then, my recovery is just so that I can reenter the spaces that contributed to me being this way in the first place. I'm a little bit more than just burnt out by this.

Workplaces and educational institutions aggressively overwork us, expose us to all kinds of discrimination, which they overlook and gaslight us out of acknowledging, and then constantly ask us to ignore our mental, emotional, and physical needs so that we don't inconvenience them.

We're not burnt out. We're borderline traumatized. Burnout is always talked about like something transient and mild that a little rest and relaxation will fix.

But we're exhausted. We need deep rest and healing. We need new systems. We need new ways of being. The language around burnout just seems like a way of upholding these current violent systems and downplaying their impacts.

Don't laugh at this because "Oh those silly monster f*ckers." This is a giant freaking RED FLAG just like with Only Fans.

the sheer amount of control ad agencies and payment providers hold over culture is actually horrifying. if a site gets blacklisted by both, it's just fucking gone unless it's willing to take the risk of using crypto for payments (actually one of the only practical uses for crypto)

if someone so much as sends you a note in something like cashapp or paypal with something remotely sexual in it, you can get your account frozen with the money still inside. it doesn't matter if it was perfectly legal and above-board stuff like hentai or erotica, because the corporations don't like those and that's all that matters

similarly this is why sites are extremely touchy about wording and tags when it comes to anything remotely adjacent to sex. if you use the wrong word and don't change it, years of work or even your entire livelihood can effectively be deleted in seconds

nobody ever talks about this because it's career poison to do it, but porn is basically already "illegal" in the vast majority of cases because if your money touches it, you're operating outside of terms of service and risking some corporate asshole deciding your smut is wretched enough to necessitate the destruction of your finances, and by proxy, your life

This is horrifying

I am reposting the whole thing here with names uncensored because these people do not deserve to be on Archive of Our Own. My blood pressure is rising just thinking about this. I am honestly enraged on behalf of the original writer who has now been bullied into deleting their work AND posting a fucking apology on Ao3 talking about how they wish they had never written it and what were they thinking and promising to never write anything like that again and hating themself. There is an idiom in my mother tongue that goes something like my heart is being bathed in blood and i can't find a better expression for this shit show. I don't know how old the original writer is but they do not deserve this. No one deserves this.

Work Text:
Recently there have been some explicit posts under the Jackson’s diary tag and it has caused some controversy so I just want to say some things on it
1. Most characters in the JD universe are minors, and so is majority of the fandom. I know some people are saying that it doesn’t matter and people don’t have to read the works but when people start to post these things it makes other people think it’s ok and more people will start posting things like this, and as this is a small fandom everybody sort of knows each other and it will cause more controversy and make people uncomfortable. Also, aging characters up by 1 year purely for smut is still sexualising children.
2. People are also complaining that we are “babying the characters” from Jackson’s diary, and I just want to say that while it isn’t unrealistic to say that 17 year olds have sex (because a lot of them do,) the way I see it is that in small fandoms if the creator of the WEBTOON wouldn’t write about it, then don’t write about it. Small fandom creators tend to be more involved in the fandom, and while the ao3 guidelines do say that it’s allowed, it doesn’t make it right.
3. Also, if someone says that what you’ve written is wrong and they can explain why, take it down. And don’t bring up the guidelines because it’s about basic human morality. The person who wrote the fanfiction that started this controversy has handled this very well, so please don’t harass them, but also if you plan on writing a fanfiction that you’re not sure if it will be appropriate then ASK. Nobody’s going to attack you for it, and if they do then there’re being unreasonable.
This isn’t targeted in any way. This is more for people who plan to write fanfics for Jackson’s diary in the future. If anyone has a problem with this I will take it down. If you choose to ignore this and post smut for this fandom anyway, be prepared for backlash from other people in the fandom, I recommend turning off comments. This isn’t intended to be disrespectful. Thanks for taking time to read this

I don't know what this piece of media is but like how do these people survive the real fucking word if they can't handle a smut fanfiction that they can literally just SCROLL PAST

Like no one forced them to look at it? There was no one with a fucking clockwork orange eye machine holding their eyes open lmao what a bunch of losers

shipcourse-sideblog

the fact that they think they are entitled to a final say on what may be published on A O fucking Three.

but also if you plan on writing a fanfiction that you’re not sure if it will be appropriate then ASK.

The level of unearned self-importance. The nerve to post this on a website made for smut. I thought I've seen it all, but this is honestly a shock.

It's just baffling. They're so pro-censorship. I don't understand how it got THIS bad. Just ignore it if you don't like it! But you don't get to tell people to not write or read what they want to write or read. That's how it's been for years. The fact that these people are SO gung-ho on censorship and anti-sexual content is just...it's weird. It's just more 'BUT THINK OF THE CHILDREN' conservative rhetoric.
