There are many new friends on the archive, and many are young and have only known social media, which is why I wanted to say something!

Ao3 does not have an algorithm! It isn't a social media site, it's an archive.

Posting fics on Tumblr isn't the same as posting fics on Ao3

Ao3 is like a giant virtual bookshelf, and everyone is able to add their own stories to the bookshelf, all stored with different tags and different fandoms. Works are automatically sorted by newest to oldest, but filters, looking at bookmarks, and using the search function can change that.

Certain works are not pushed to the top like social media posts. More kudos and reads don't push a single work to more viewers by some algorithm. Unless otherwise filtered, works will be at the top of the page based on how recent it was posted.

Smaller fandoms get less views, less kudos, less bookmarks, and larger fandoms get more simply because of the number of people inside the fandom.

Ao3 is a giant virtual bookshelf- there is no algorithm, and there is no man behind the shelf pushing certain books forward.

Happy reading, and if you'd like to have more people notice a fic, why not share it with them! Send a dm to a fandom friend and it might turn into one of their favorite fics!

This is a reminder that you can still serve cunt while using a mobility aid, hope that helps

I understand that a lot of people feel gross when it comes to disability stuff, like stomas and incontinence products and difficulty bathing, things like that, and if you need "gross positivity" because you feel gross, I'm not talking about you here.

But if you're abled or not disabled in a way where people call you and your body gross, maybe consider leaving those "gross positive" posts to people with those disabilities because people can easily interpret that coming from an abled person as "I think you're a gross yucky person who uses diapers and doesn't bathe often enough but don't worry I love you anyways"

YOU might feel only disabled by society but some of us can't breathe or toilet on our own. Please stop saying it's just society. Please. It's so annoying and upsetting. Yeah we need ramps and people should act better, but even with a barrier free world I'm still gonna be crippled as shit.

bathroom torment is very real ideally we would all just be allowed to go piss without worry but its not always so simple

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? 🙏🏽

We are a small Canadian stim toy business run by two autistic women.

Many places that sell stim toys are focused on the needs and experiences of parents of young autistic children.  Here at FlappyHappy, autistic needs and voices are centred over caregivers.  Our goal is to focus on autistic adults since so many shops market towards children and it can feel infantalizing. Our stim toys are also great for people living with trauma, ADHD, chronic pain, anxiety, or other needs! We want you to know that it’s okay to stim. It’s more than okay actually! If you benefit from stim toys, then they are for you!

We carry a mixture of your usual stim toys but also more discreet stim items like jewellery! We also carry our own array of handmade items that you can’t get anywhere else!

It means so much to us if you share this post or otherwise spread the word about us.

We also offer free worldwide shipping on orders of $70 CAD or more.
