If you love fanfiction, and/or enjoy serious-ish discussions of fandom culture through a queer lens, then our podcast is for you!!!

We also regularly tie aspects of fandom culture back to larger sociopolitical discussions, which uhhhhh feels relevant to the current moment. So check us out!!!

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later

Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

Even if you do not create/consume/like NSFW media you must speak up for SWs and NSFW creators b/c the criminalizing and banning of it is just another step towards fascism. It will be used to target minority groups, LGBT, etc. and anything deemed "unsanitary" or "degenerate".

Civil rights were won through protests and lawsuits and literally fighting back. We are not in unprecedented times. We are in a horrible reboot of Reconstruction. Fight in every way possible. Flood those anti DEI tiplines with misinformation, spend 10 minutes every day telling your reps to stop this

thinking very seriously about deleting tiktok off my phone, knowing i can't get it back in the us, for the sake of my mental health.

is anyone else off the app since the blip and willing to share their experience? do you miss it?

idk if this helps or not, but i live around DC. there are 700,000 people who live here (without state representation, but i digress). DC fucking HATES trump. if his first term was any indication, he will be constantly surrounded by people who make his life worse in every little way they can, lol

Don't let Donald Trump extending the TikTok ban distract you from the fact that his Administration is about to conduct mass deportations across America in a matter of days.

if you are a fellow Fandom Old who lived through the strikethroughs and ff.net purges, you should be able to understand why the tiktok ban is upsetting for so many people, especially the queer and neurodivergent folk who found community there.

You are showing your entire ass by calling TikTok “a dancing app” in the year 2025

My online presence has really shrunk to a single site in the past year because of reasons, and I never got into TikTok. But I remember the loss of Geocities, and shifts of other platforms that left them uninviting or useless.

TikTok being banned is bigger and worse than those.
January 19, 2025 at 5:33 AM
i'm blocking anyone who posts anything akin to "I never cared about tiktok anyway!" or "lol at all the kids crying over tiktok"

this ban is a very telling canary in the coal mine. take your self-aggrandizing bullshit elsewhere.

I’m upset about TikTok for two reasons:

1. A lot of talented people have temporarily, maybe permanently, lost their creative livelihoods

2. The government now has strong precedent that they can destroy any company simply because they don’t like it, even if it involves curtailing speech

tiktok went down for me while I was watching @hankgreen.bsky.social dance to some wild techno beat and that about sums it up lol

It warms my heart in these shitty times to see all the David Lynch love. Weird art can connect us all. Let’s all make and enjoy more weird art.

this is the worst timeline tbh
the update "will encourage users to start conversations about Reels content."

oh you mean drive harassment after Zuck rolled back community guidelines protections for marginalized people???

i am not looking forward to the absolute knock-down crashouts we're gonna see when folks lose the endless dopamine roulette app in a few days
