The Years When I Wrote Stuff
So it’s the wake of the year 2022 and as of two months from now it will be two years since I spent a significant amount of time writing anything. I watched The Glass Onion last night and I want to write a mystery so badly that my stomach hurts, but also I want to go home and time travel is not an option. Feel free to skip the introspection but I miss Livejournal, and I thought other people also waiting for a dead year to be buried who have also tried to make stuff during the last eternity might find this a little cathartic.
I spent my morning rereading some stuff I previously wrote, back in college, approximately a decade ago, and it’s... good? In ways that I didn’t expect, given a whole host of personal factors like ten years experience, the fact that some of what I wrote then was fanfic for a very small and insular writing and reading community and not actually fanfic of a property that exists*, and that what I remember as communitywide engagement is an average of five unique commenters per chapter. (*People who never lived on Live Journal: there were several of these sorts of emergent meta fandoms, long before Goncharov. I was in a handful of them. One of them was the Sims 2 legacy challenge community, where there is no canon, everyone is trying to win points on a spreadsheet while playing a completely different game, and people just straight up borrowed each other’s characters to write combination screenshot and text stories about. It was considered flattery to do it if you could write your way out of a paper bag. Or if your forum threads / livejournal entries got enough engagement to be equal to or more ‘popular’ than the original author. Other metafandoms involved sporking [critical reading of another work with jokes worked in], and meta-fanfic like protectors of the plot continuum.) So, what did I have in twenty mumbleteen that let me write, and do it pretty well for my level of skill at the time? 
I was not less depressed: the year that I wrote 48k of cathartic mystery investigation that I still like was not a good one, personally, and the year before it was definitely top three worst. I also wasn’t just astronomically talented at the time: I was concurrently writing a non-fanfic attempt at a novel that has fully earned its position in the mental compost bin. (The physical location is somewhere in a folder within a folder on a thumb drive, probably labeled “junk” and “old junk” respectively.) 
I was not less busy: on top of classes I was writing a thesis that was so bad, the singular time any other living human mentioned they’d read it after I graduated, I blurted out “Oh god WHY?” (I got that job anyway.) In contrast since the beginning of the pandemic I have been unemployed off and on and not exactly super busy otherwise. I may have been doing a less overwhelming amount of the work of living, since I was living in dorms at the time, but... (checks my apartment) I think I’d better not investigate how much work of living is technically getting done around here.  I honestly think the major difference has been community. Don’t get me wrong, I like tumblr. I like twitter too. There is not a lack of people joyfully engaged in making stuff and talking to each other about it on either platform. We are (probably, at least in my case) a little cooler about it too: twitter’s villain of the week and the eternal problem of internet harassment aside, the dominance of short form and mostly public posting has made a lot more people than I remember aware that joining secret locked fandom groups devoted to hating specific members of your community is a bad thing and not a badge of acceptance into the Big Name Fan inner circle. Also, the first time Diane Duane turned up to my livejournal I acted like an embarrassingly star-struck teenager. Given that I was an embarrassingly star-struck teenager and have since managed to have actual conversations with published authors, I think I may have matured some. But with shorter, faster posts, and an internet economy that is increasingly about advertising, and single streams of information, we’ve definitely lost an aspect of the previous writing and fannish community. Not just the ability to off topic chat in a forum or a comments section with days or weeks between replies instead of wading through the discord, or community reading lists instead of reblogs and quote tweets, or spending hours uploading photos and gifs to new third party hosting sites and re-linking them every time free hosting got discontinued. From my perspective here on Tumblr we seem to have lost a huge amount of support for each other’s projects. Let me explain: back in the days of Livejournal there was fandom, meta fandoms, and original work. The three nations lived in harmony until - okay, technically they weren’t three nations, because we were a bunch of individual people doing a bunch of different things and even if you didn’t tag for shit, if you stuck around and commented enough you met other people. You would get invested in one of their projects, or they would get invested in yours. Most importantly, you would talk about things in the comments section. If you went looking for book reviews you would go to the comments for more recommendations. You’d also get arguments between people you’d never met, essays written by someone who appeared to be commenting on the mirrorverse version of the post you’d just read, and a decent number of bots. But you would be at the party talking about your favorite movies, the novel you were writing, and your thesis in the corners with photos of someone’s cat, instead of shouting across the width of the internet. You can still DM people, yes I know. You can still, if you’re too experienced to be embarrassed by being perceived like @seeingteacupsindragons and I, have a loud personal conversation in public via reblogs and tagging other people. It can even be a relatively private conversation if you’re deep enough into twitter replies or you’re only notable to a few dozen or few hundred people who only follow you in case you have more confessions to make about your former feral gremlin exploits back in the years when you wrote things. I can’t imagine writing the usual fandom disclaimer of “don’t own: don’t like don’t read” the way I used to during a spork or analysis. I legitimately once advertised the story that kicked off this round of introspection with “I obviously don’t own [book series we were dissecting to see why we hated it] because if I did you guys wouldn’t love me anymore.” Not just because it’s assuming my audience has strong feelings about me (easy to assume when there are seven of them and they loyally keysmash every chapter,) but because the firehose of social media feels very impersonal. Not on a caring about other people personally level, but on a level where, outside of fandoms, which aren’t built as sturdily as they used to be, it seems a little absurd to assume people care about your ongoing projects.  I’m not saying prior fandom iterations were better. Fandom problems and blog and social media problems have always been the same community building problems dressed up in different posting limits. Human nature has always been that of miscommunication, self interest, and sarcastic asides no matter how low you can sink the stakes. People have always struggled to organize community in the face of corporate censorship, societal bigotry, and Russian government takedown bots.** I’m saying that the things that used to go hand in hand with fandom, like your own oc’s and the ability to spend six months in a fandom and come out with a writing group passionately keysmashing over each other’s original characters and original stories are much, much harder to find than they used to be.  (**The bots are not always russian but false DMCA reports and the other apparatus of modern internet bot problems is not by any means new. And the eventual deathblow of Livejournal was struck by Russia. For more information I’m afraid you’ll have to google it all, due to me failing to locate any of the tumblr posts that filled me in on specifics long after the fact, on the very same day I successfully found my old Livejournal story I had forgotten the time of via a string of related tags. Irony, it turns out, cannot die.) AO3 and tumblr have kept fandom going, arguably stronger than ever, and it’s not like metafandom has died, given that it hasn’t even been two months since a critical mass of tumblr users decided to collaboratively write a summary of a movie based on a pair of bootleg shoes. I’m almost guaranteed to get more “interaction” with this post than my average original story in livejournal days.  But goddamn it, I miss the comments section. I miss replying to people demanding to know what was coming next with cutesy replies like “well you see, next chapter, [redacted] will [spoiler].” I miss having to break five thousand word conversations into multiple comments and the accompanying ability to trade theories and refute assumptions point by point without either flooding the dash or having to shove it all behind a readmore. (I miss customizeable readmores and the ability to put up a summary to click on or make a cryptic comment about the plot. Upon reflection, I don’t miss breaking up comments, I miss having collapsible threads to discuss specific points of speculation.) Most of all, I miss the semi-private space where people overwhelmingly were not shy about saying “hey, this reminds me of some things in my original story, you want to read some?” and where the link you received when you said yes ended either with you giving out a polite comment about the similarity to the original conversation and ‘I might not keep up with it, but good luck!’ or falling madly in love with someone else’s blorbo. I’ve tried to recapture the magic here and elsewhere, but as lovely as most people in writeblr are there is just so much advertising that it hasn’t worked for me, as a vehicle of actually talking to people about writing. Without a word written of the actual story there’s a moodboard and a playlist and a near-constant feeling of talking to yourself in front of a microphone. We all might want to publish this some day: have two paragraphs and an entire tag of endlessly recycled promotional material about the aesthetic. Everything is a pitch contest and the rules of engagement are written down in a completely different post: above all else act professional. Well, professional enough. You can be a clown and you can be a jerk but you cannot just hang out and expect that everyone will get their own turn to talk about their OC’s, regardless of whether you’re seriously hoping to publish or not. I’d love to talk about the process and art of writing again with people I only sort of know, instead of only doing it in DM’s with my oldest friends. I’d love to drag my OC’s out of the metaphorical compost bin and tell you that I don’t currently have a WIP that is anything like ready for public consumption, much less publication, but that if you watched Glass Onion last night and cried over the idea that you can’t have justice for the ones you love and you can’t bring them back but you can damn well be sure their work was not in vain, you’d love them. They’re my children and they’re my self, they live in my brain and they’re in love and better yet they’re best friends who will never, ever loose each other. Whether that’s to the slow diaspora of having to move across the country to make a living or finding that a dumbass billionaire pulled the plug on the liminal space where they gather. They’re part of a family of orphans and outcasts and they’re the spiritual descendants of a lot of people who taught me a lot about community. They know way more than me about how to help the friends who are suffering yet another pointless accident and wring some kind of catharsis out of a world that has not stopped ending in a thousand different ways since before any of us were born, and it’s only partly because one of them can literally do magic. Mostly it’s because when you write for five people who all hated the idea that resistance to the cruelties of the world is pointless even in fiction the exact same way you can actually give them a single webpage where justice exists, the people who are supposed to keep people safe care more about that than maintaining their structural power, and rich assholes who ruin people’s lives are the ones who go to jail. Now if only my perfect, (but not too perfect) darling, useless daughters would bring me a plot so I could actually use the sadness and anger for something. Even if no one ever reads it.

Alley Cat Allies is in Puerto Rico to Protect Cats
Tumblr media
Alley Cat Allies is on the ground in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, as we work to keep the community cats living along the famous Paseo Del Morro trail in their outdoor homes. Weeks ago, the U.S. National Park Service announced a plan to remove the cats within a period of 6 months—a cruel and pointless scheme we will do everything in our power to halt.
Right now, we are reaching out to the government of Puerto Rico and working with local advocates as part of our ongoing efforts to stop the removal.
Tumblr media
These cats have been peacefully at home around the Castillo de San Felipe del Morro for a very long time. They are cared for by dedicated caregivers and are spayed or neutered through Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). Their eartips are proof! They are loved in the community and by the millions of people who visit their home each year.
Meeting some of those cats this week has been a privilege, and we are more determined than ever to protect them. We’re also planning to help more cats across Old San Juan! We’ll keep you updated on what we are doing and what YOU can do.
A Granite Shoals, Texas, Committee Suggested Shooting and Poisoning Cats
Alley Cat Allies condemns the horrific discussion between the Granite Shoals City Manager and Wildlife Advisory Committee about a plan to mass kill community cats. We call for a strong, city-supported TNR program and would pledge our own support for that program.
Audio from the Wildlife Advisory Committee meeting included these disturbing quotes: “Poison food, could you somehow round them up in a mass cage or something,” “I would be in favor of euthanizing and euthanizing as many as quickly as possible,” “The only authorized legal process for euthanizing is a 22 round in the back of the head. We have a location on this property that’s called Deer Heaven that I’m sure could be kitty cat Heaven, too…”
We stand with the Granite Shoals Police Department, the Hill Country Humane Society, and the people of Granite Shoals against cruel, lethal policies. The next city council meeting about Granite Shoals’ cats is January 9, and Alley Cat Allies will be there.
‘Tis the Season to Save Cats’ Lives with a Gift from our Holiday Cat-A-Log
Soufflé certainly has the eye of the tiger! When he and his siblings were rescued from a Maryland shelter with various health issues, they needed that courage to heal and thrive. Of course, veterinary care covered by Alley Cat Allies—thanks to our supporters like you—gave them the boost they needed!
And, every day, Alley Cat Allies helps grow local movements to provide no-cost veterinary care, food, and other critical services for indoor and community cats, like this handsome kitten.
Tumblr media
Communitywide support and sustainable resources are the keys to a world where all cats are valued and protected. YOU help make it all possible.
You can help us provide lifesaving care to even more cats and kittens with a gift from our 2023 Holiday Cat-A-Log.
Happy Holidays from the Boardwalk Cats
Tumblr media
Star and Mikey live every day on the beachfront home they love. But decades ago, community cats like them on the famous Atlantic City Boardwalk were nearly rounded up and killed simply for existing outdoors.
Alley Cat Allies rallied the community to stop it, and our Boardwalk Cats Project® was born. This city-supported #TNR program is a blueprint for all communities: The cats live well into their teens, the population has naturally declined from several hundred to just around two dozen cats, and no new kittens have been born on the Boardwalk in years!
Tumblr media
It goes to show: TNR works! Learn more at alleycat.org/BoardwalkCats.

How will I Know the Life Line Screening Locations and Dates?Lets See!
In 2014, Public Citizen launched a campaign against Winter Park, Fla.-based HealthFair, a company that peddles inexpensive cardiovascular disease screening packages to people across the country.
That campaign began in June 2014, when Public Citizen wrote letters to 20 hospitals and medical institutions in eight states urging them to sever their partnerships with HealthFair because the company’s heavily promoted communitywide cardiovascular health screening packages are marketed to people for whom the screenings are medically inappropriate, are unethical and are much more likely to do harm than good.
The campaign so far has achieved remarkable success, with 15 of these institutions since indicating that they have ended or will soon be ending their partnerships with the company.
Public Citizen’s campaign continued in September 2014, when the organization asked the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate HealthFair’s direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising and promotional activities. Public Citizen alleged that the company’s advertising and promotional materials were deceptive and contained unsubstantiated medical claims. The FTC’s review of our complaint is ongoing.
Unfortunately, HealthFair is not the only for-profit company offering inappropriate medical screenings to consumers in the U.S. Austin, Texas-based Life Line Screening, a much larger for-profit medical screening company, also partners with hospitals across the country to promote and offer inappropriate DTC health Life Line Screenings for cardiovascular disease and for osteoporosis.
According to Life Line Screening’s website and print solicitations, mailed directly to consumers, the company has “helped save thousands of lives” since 1993 and has prevented strokes and other types of cardiovascular disease.
But Life Line Screening has no evidence from rigorously conducted clinical tests proving that its Life Line Screenings save lives and prevent strokes and other cardiovascular diseases when used in the general population that its solicitations target. Instead, the company relies on testimonials and anecdotal reports from a small group of people who were screened by the company and claim to have benefited.
On Jan. 22, Public Citizen urged the FTC to investigate the DTC advertising and promotional practices of Life Line Screening. In its letter to the FTC, Public Citizen asserted that the company’s advertising materials make non-evidence-based claims of medical benefit for its package of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis Life Line Screenings. The letter further stated that Life Line Screening’s advertisements omit information about the risks of adverse health-related outcomes and financial harms that may result from the indiscriminate screening offered by the company and about evidence-based guidelines describing if and when such tests should be performed.
