to all of my dear ao3 authors: if you are insecure about the hits to kudos/bookmarks/comments ratio, you are interpreting them wrong. notice how on social media, you usually can’t see how many people viewed your textpost? on ao3 you can, because it’s not a silly shower thought. it’s literature. you are writing a piece of art and publishing it; and if it got 300 hits and 50 kudos, that means 300 people bought your book and 50 of them bothered to go leave a review with a thumbs up on the shop’s website. it doesn’t matter that only 50 people did that: what matters is that 300 got so interested that they read your work, invested their time and energy into it, and, even if they didn’t leave a kudos, even if they didn’t get to the end, you probably managed to get your message across and a memory of your work is now in their head. isn’t that the point of writing? leaving something in people’s thoughts. you are doing a great job just by creating something, remember.

but to my dear ao3 readers: do leave kudos when you like something. it’s the nice thing to do.

Every time a person comes back it’s a hit. Every chapter click is a hit. So these readers may have left kudos already. Maybe they downloaded your fic and forgot to come back and leave kudos. Goodness knows I used to do that when I’d download fics to my ereader to read offline.

quasi-normalcy:

The fact that anti-abortion laws and anti-transgender laws are both being implemented en masse, at the *same* time, by the *same* people (who, it hardly needs to be remarked, are overwhelmingly neither women nor transgender) should be enough to convince any reasonable person that the narrative of conflict between and women’s and transgender is, first and foremost, a divide-and-conquer strategy by the far right.

Your survival is our survival. Our survival is your survival. Anyone who says different is a fed.

Looking at the steam page it claims to be a legit tax form prep software

Like. I probably would have tried it if I hadn’t already filed my return, even if I do get weird vibes from it.

i like how hydrogen bomb vs. coughing baby is used as a reaction to lopsided fights because i actually thought the joke was that the two were evenly matched. i thought coughing babies really could hold their own here
