I personally think that anyone who has been hating on the show on here owes the cast and crew a formal apology the way AR had to apologize to Tom Cruise after his perfromance

Gentle reminder that very little fandom labor is automated, because I think people forget that a lot.
That blog with a tagging system you love? A person curates those tags by hand.
That rec blog with a great organization scheme and pretty graphics? Someone designed and implemented that organization scheme and made those graphics.
That network that posts a cool variety of stuff? People track down all that variety and queue it by hand, and other people made all the individual pieces.
That post with umpteen links to helpful resources, and information about them? Someone gathered those links, researched the sources, wrote up the information about them.
That graphic about fandom statistics? Someone compiled those statistics, analyzed them, organized them, figured out a useful way to convey the information to others, and made the post.
That event that you think looks neat? Someone wrote the rules, created the blogs and Discords, designed the graphics, did their best to promo the event so it'd succeed.
None of this was done automatically. None of it just appears whole out of the internet ether.
I think everyone realizes that fic writing and fanart creation are work, and at least some folks have got it through their heads that gif creation and graphics and moodboards take effort, and meta is usually respected for the effort that goes into it, at least as far as I've seen, but I feel like a lot of people don't really get how much labor goes into curation, too.
If people are creating resources, curating content, organizing the creations of others, gathering information, and doing other fandom activities that aren't necessarily the direct action of creation, they're doing a lot of fandom labor, and it's often largely unrecognized.
Celebrate fan work!
To folks doing this kind of labor: I see you, and I thank you. You are the backbones of our fandoms and I love you.

If anything Drake has just proved Kendrick right on his claim that everyone on Drakes team is secretly praying on his downfall because anyone who okayed ‘you’re upset that i’m a pedo cuz you were molested as a child HA HA ZING’ wants nothing for that man but suffering and bad karma

Stand in Solidarity!
As the ongoing genocide rages in Palestine, us Australians must not forget what this country was built upon.
Just as Israel is built on the stolen land and graves of the Palestinians, so too is Australia built on the stolen land and graves of the First Nations.
There is nothing to celebrate for in genocide.
Here is a list of Invasion Day Rallies. Please march in solidarity with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Peoples this Friday.

yall im clawing at my own face i want to kiss kyle so much im actually sick like i just KNOWWWWW he's the type who gives teasing little pecks and then pulls away when you want more to give you this pretty little smile because he thinks you're so cute with how much you want him and then when he finally kisses you properly it leaves you BREATHLESS AND DAZED and he's for sure the type who gently cups your jaw, cradles your face so delicately and strokes his thumb over your cheek while you lose yourself in the kiss. and he's so STURDY so when you inevitably get weak in the knees he's the perfect thing to just rest your entire weight against and just let him hold you continue kissing you while you don't have to worry about standing bc that man will hold you up until you're good and ready to end the kiss and I NEED TO DO SOME BREATHING EXERCISES

zolu is maybe one of the easiest ships i've ever liked. they're dating, except when they're not, they're best friends even when they're kissing and they're still captain and first mate when they aren't. they hold hands, they hug. they have sex. they don't.
Luffy can hold Zoro's katanas and Zoro can hold Luffy's strawhat and no one bats an eye. one says "You're so cool!" and the other says "You're strong" and it's just another way to say "I see you, this is why I follow you/this is why I trust you". it's not seeing each other for a long time and still knowing how the other's steps sound like against wood and sand. the captain runs and the first mate follows. it's always "Zoro and the others" and "Where's Luffy?"
if they're just friends, if they're something more, if they don't have a label for it, at its core, it's just about how they get each other. they understand how the other's mind works. however you view them, it doesn't erase they fact that they love each other in a way they don't love other people.

FYI Zio is an extremely disrespectful term to use
I can't stress this enough, but when I use the term Zio, I mean it in the absolute most disrespectful way possible
