titles are hard
I like to take pictures and write snippets. I'll probably share some of that here.

This is how you get Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

So I have read several people complaining that they can't be expected to know the "unwritten rules" of fandom. So here's what I wish people knew:
Fanfiction is fiction.
Fictional people are not real.
Fictional people do not have rights.
Fictional people cannot be abused.
Reading or writing about something does not mean the desire to do or support it in the real world.
If I find art upsetting/triggering/disgusting/outraging/unpleasant/squicky/distressing/offensive, it is on me not to read it, not the creators and hosts to remove it.
Curate your own experience. The back buttons exist for a reason.
If you don't trust yourself to do that, get someone you trust to do it for you.
Fandom is an adult space. Adults create and own and host fandom spaces. If minors want to participate, then the onus is on them and their parents/guardians/trusted adults to ensure they participate appropriately, not on strange adults to stop being adults.
You often don't know the assault status or mental health status or neurotype or race or nationality or religion or gender or sexuality or age of a creator or consumer, and they do not have to disclose to you to justify their fantasy.
AO3 is not a safe space. It is not intended to be a safe space. Proceed accordingly.
Just because you don't like something or find it offensive doesn't mean it is a "problem" that "has to be dealt with".
Most characters in anime are not white.
There is no onus on you to reblog or share anything.
Everyone makes mistakes in fandom and is less than their best self sometimes.
Persistent pseudonyms encourage long term relationships.
Ship wars are stupid.
Someone else enjoying things does not impact on your own enjoyment of other things.
Tagging and warning is a courtesy, not a requirement. Assume any fic might contain untagged content.
Rating is an imprecise art, not a science.
Don't hassle IP creators.
Most people who are in fandom are hoping to make connections based on a shared passion.
Trying to profit from transformative fanworks puts us all at risk.
No one is obligated to share your head canon or fanon.
Being kind rarely fails to pay off.
It is okay to block and remove people who make your experience unpleasant. You don't have to placate them. (Learn from my mistakes).
Britpicking is a good thing.
You don't have to justify why you like a canon/pairing/trope/kink. Sometimes navel gazing is fun, but you don't have an obligation to explain yourself, especially to strangers. I share the overwhelming desire to refute an unfair accusation, but the people accusing you are rarely doing so in good faith, so you're batting a losing wicket.
I'm not your Mum. (Well, okay, a very few of you can call me Mum or Mom, but if you are one of them you already know who you are 鉂わ笍)
If you aren't mature enough to take responsibility for your online experiences, you aren't mature enough to be in fandom spaces.

Today (I guess yesterday now) was my birthday. I've had a truly lovely day with my two favorite people. A little ritual I've created for myself is to sort of chant my age and my previous ages in 10 year increments. "47, 37, 27, 17, 7. 47, 37, 27, 17, 7." While I do this, I reflect as much as I can on who I was and what I was doing at each of those ages and for each of those birthdays. It's kind of my way of appreciating my life and who I am and all the people I've been. I don't LOVE getting older, but I do love birthdays.

just curious as they're always things i've never questioned just doing but people in my life are often surprised that i don't mind doing them alone
馃攣 pls reblog for sample size
#I don't think I'd enjoy a concert alone much#but I would if no one else would go#I love dining alone#it's been way too long since I've gone to a movie alone#I love going to a beach alone

If I ask nicely will people reblog this and tell me what their most common breakfast is? Not your favorite necessarily, just what you have for breakfast most frequently? 馃檹馃徑

"What I've learned over time is all comedy, the entire relationship, just like sex, is all about context. And context is about communicating with somebody else where you are in relation to them, and hopefully them understanding where they are in relation to you.
...the way we share content, or the way we connect with people, has lost the context that is necessary for people to feel comfortable when telling or not telling a joke.
To use the same analogy of sex, when you have sex with somebody, it is an intimate moment where you get to know them, you both become more and more comfortable with each other, and as the layers of clothes are being removed, you're both consenting to each moment, that then leads to another, and then you are engulfed in each other, and then you go where you wish to go to together.
But now, what the internet and social media has done is it has teleported us to sex with people that we weren't even having sex with. So, of course you'd be offended, you know? If some random person was teleported into your bedroom and then said, 'Let's have sex!' I think you'd be offended. Because there's no backstory, there's no journey. Who are they? How are they? Do you know their story? Everything we do in sex is a terrible disgusting thing if you don't have the context for the other person."
