I'm SO done with people juxtaposing "The West" to Asia & Japan as some 🏳️🌈Progressive Queer Bastion of Diversity 🏳️🌈 despite The West being the core source of anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric GLOBALLY. We literally renewed the racist, anti-woman dictator & his billionaire anti-trans neo-nazi apartheid minion🤡 Sit 👇🏼

Books are a total scam.
Every single word is already in the dictionary—they’re just selling them back to you in a different order.

Fanfiction doesn't require constructive criticism unless expressly asked for by the author, and if you're rating a fic out of 10 in the bookmark - DON'T. Fanfiction is written and posted for free, you're not a literary reviewer and AO3 isn't fucking goodreads. This is evergreen advice. Pass it on.

I think retweeting and dunking on the worst takes possible is exactly how you make this space less enjoyable and start to feel like Twitter. Strongly encourage everyone to take a "mute user and move on" approach if you want to keep the vibes right.
