Really wish tumblr had a "people are appropriating and misusing elements of my faith and that is offensive" option for reporting posts...
CATHOLICISM 👏 IS 👏 NOT 👏 AN 👏 AESTHETIC 👏
catholicism’s only value is in its aesthetic actually. sorry :/
also the guilt thing can be kinda hot when y'all have gay sex
the way sesame street, a pbs puppet show for literal babies, is pressing on with pride content despite vitriolic monsters descending on every post to insinuate they're pedophiles or demons while some of the biggest companies on the planet who could swim in olympic swimming pools of money like scrooge mcduck on steroids buckle and cave just emphasizes how completely and utterly pathetic these corporations are. they'd butcher a baby if it meant saving a penny.

sometimes I wonder how we all survive and then I look at my best friends and I go “oh, I survive because I don’t want to leave you yet” and it makes sense. life is so hard a lot of the time, but I want one more bowl of pasta with you.
Genuine question:
I was talking in a discord server about how I don't often read fanfiction but that's because I don't often read fiction in general, I usually prefer non-fiction (yuri is of course the exception).
Then that got me thinking: would I read fan-nonfiction? Which got me thinking: what is fan-nonfiction?
I thought about it for a bit and I would like to submit: people making all those video essays about obscure topics. That is fan-nonfiction. And yes I do watch the hell out of those lmao.
Anyway what do you all think? I'm weirdly into this idea of fan-nonfiction now.
ive preferred the term meta. i've written a fair bit of it myself, it's mostly analysis but can be a bit broader. at its most basic, it's just talking about fanish stuff in a non-fiction sense, but in a way that's a step above making small posts on tumblr
for me, it's the difference of whether something just gets posted to my blog, or if it gets crossposted to AO3 as well
I guess I was talking less about fandom and more about "if I, a fan of reading about the 19th century, did my own research and wrote an amateur thing about the 19th century, that is nonfiction written by a fan" but I guess "amateur" is a better term here.
I think people need to be more comfortable with illegalism and I’m not kidding. Of course the more legal something is, the safer and easier it is to do, but the more people who disregard the law, the harder it is to enforce. There are plenty of laws on the books that people just ignore and are never or rarely policed.
Becoming more comfortable with little illegal activities makes you more comfortable with bigger more important illegal activities. Additionally, it is crucial to build a wall of silence. Nobody talks everybody walks.
People who give out food without a permit, hold a march without a permit, grow a garden without a permit, are more likely to be people you could turn to to work with on preventing an eviction, or keeping people out of cop hands, or helping your friend Jane get crucial healthcare when it’s not legal in your state.
Communities comfortable with these acts won’t call the cops, and then nobody knows that it’s happening.
People have got to shift from both the idea that lawful = good/ illegal = bad, and that the illegality of something means that’s the end of it, and the only fight left is to make it legal again.
Please don’t hesitate
1 penny below reporting limit for the IRS… I see what you did there
(Don’t give me $599.99)
That’s not the right IRS rule.
$599.99 is the amount below which a business does not need to issue a 1099 to a contractor who provides business services. The contractor still needs to report the income on their taxes.
The correct number for the IRS rule for money that is gifted rather than received in a business transaction is $13999.99–more than that, and the recipient has to pay tax on the gift and report it to the IRS. Less than that, and there’s no taxation or reporting requirement.
If we’re choosing amounts on the basis of IRS limits, give these people $13,999.99.
Go. Do it.
In case some of you younger queer people out there are wondering why some of us elders are dancing so happily on Pat Robertson's grave right now, here's a few of the more horrible things he said about us:
Basically he was a queerphobic little bigot who danced on our graves at every turn, so we are just returning the favor.
funniest part about the phrase “godless orgies” is the implication that there are, like, good christian orgies
