Fanfic writer. BurningTea on AO3. Currently obsessed with BTS. Still love CQL, Leverage and Castiel of SPN fame. In theory, writer of original stuff, but don't spook the author part of my brain by making sudden movements near it.

BREAKING: Israeli military attacks humanitarian aid vessel Handala in international waters 30 miles from Gaza — in violation of maritime law — and has abducted 21 people on board, including U.S. citizens.
The ship was carrying life-saving aid, which Israel has seized.

For me, it is the way you think you have had the reveal and then, several chapters later, there is an even more in your face reveal, which he seems to have intended for when you would connect the dots.

As the demand for more #AI skyrockets, more and more #dataCenters are arriving. They generate #pollution, taking a toll on the human lives around them. Is AI slowly killing us? spectrum.ieee.org/data-centers...
Are We Ignoring AI's Role in the Public Health Crisis?
AI's environmental impact is well-known, but its public health cost is often overlooked. Data centers emit harmful pollutants, risking asthma, heart attacks, and cognitive decline. How can we ensure…

This man has been doing good for decades, but also, damn, does he know protest messaging and optics. He's got his one-sentence, clear summary of what he's there to protest and he is going to make sure everyone hears it.
Ben of Ben & Jerry’s *arrested* after confronting RFK Jr. & Congress:
"They need to let food into Gaza. They need to let food to starving kids! Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza, and paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US!"

I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.

Still thinking about this and I believe he would leave public bookmarks on AO3 with ratings, but not in a toxic way. It's weratedogs rules, where everything is above 10/10.

One thing I think all wangxian fic creators need to realize is that Wei Wuxian would be so fucking delighted at all of our work. Like, he'd read the spiciest scenes aloud to his husband. He would leave the best most comprehensive, gushing comments about how much he enjoyed it.

Now English-readers can have have the debate about whether to keep the obi or toss it.

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?
