    ok, now im convinced elon musk is doing this shit on purpose

    “twitter” and “tweeting” is like a one in a million shooting star branding miracle, no other social media site has achieved that kinda ubiquity on the level of “google” or “photoshop”. he just threw all that in the garbage for a generic name with a logo they can’t protect

    I dunno if this has been posted yet, but…..

    tweet by @evansbeard: If you are eligible to vote in the upcoming OTW Board elections, please DO NOT vote for Audrey R, a book-banning-think-of-the-children Republican infiltrator. If you have donated to AO3 in the past year, check your inbox for a ballot and PLEASE choose any better candidate.ALT

    Keep this shit off AO3

    2 tweets by @adybpt:  tweet 1: Yeah, no, heads up, we've got a Republican Christian Karen running for the AO3 board. I love how the US has devolved to the point where we risk Christofascists in our fucking GAY FANFICTION WEBSITES and half of the userbase will smile and nod bc they "condemn problematic themes  tweet 2: Like,,, I think a Republican party candidate whose main platform is literally "think of the children" is the absolute antithesis of everything AO3 stands for, but that's just me.ALT

    We don’t want that kind of pearl clutching ‘christian’ conservative sitting on the AO3 board. Keep Moms For Liberty out of our fanfiction.

    this is the second fucking year in a row someone has tried to pull this crap. but if you’re still on the fence about it (though fair warning, I am not copying everything she wrote as a response, which you can read on the OTW website):

    Would you be in favor of creating a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee? Why or why not?
    I see no reason creating another committee would help anything in light of the continued staffing issues, and see several ways it could hurt. Lumping nonwhite, and non-English-speaking, and non-American volunteers together in one committee is just tokenism with a bow on top. Those experiences are not singular or universal. The DEI consultant to be hired by the organization will be able to speak to this far better than I can.

    The cost of becoming a member/voting in elections is prohibitive for many users, particularly disabled, international and POC ones. Do you have any ideas about how this could be improved to make the otw more inclusive and less privileged?
    No.

    Also, just for some proof of the “Republican” part, from Twitter:

    image
    image

    like, it’s not a pejorative, it’s how she’s self-identified

    also, ENTIRELY unrelated to this crap, but she’s only been a volunteer for about a year and a lot of her answers to questions about ongoing problems is “I don’t know because I’ve only been here a year.” she doesn’t even know what PAC is.

    Presented without comment: her answer when asked in a republican primary debate about whether or not she supported gay marriage (to her credit she does at least support it, but the framing sure is…something)

    image

    ALT: [I am in favor of allowing same-sex marriage, because I tell people all the time, I’m pro-1A, pro-2A, pro-3A. I am pro free speech, I am pro-gun, and I am pro keeping the government out of your home. I believe that regulating marriage is a church issue, it is not a government issue. As far as I’m concerned, whatever gender combination you want to make between two consenting adults is none of my business. I believe that America has far bigger problems, so I would have voted in the affirmative.]

    Source (clip, starting with the question asked, starts at 1:42:15)

    She was already dead last in my voting due to hoe many “I don’t know” and “that would require research to answer” responses she gave. These questions aren’t live 'gotchas,’ the candidates have time to goddamn LOOK STUFF UP before submitting their answers and she couldn’t be assed to do even that!

    i think at some point in life you are going to have to grapple with the fact that nobody is going to just perfectly fit into your idea of them, and nobody is going to slot into your life without any uncomfortable bumps or rubbing of edges, and nobody is going to follow the script you want them to follow or thought they would follow because the people around you, shockingly, are not cardboard cutouts. at some point in life you WILL need to face the, surprisingly, real and messy interiority of other people. and you are going to have to learn to grant them the same nuance, agency and consideration you grant yourself, or want to be granted. and you are going to have to learn to make grace an important factor in what you say and what you assume about others bc i guarantee there is no shortage of grace being offered to you at some point in your life, and not in some transactional sense either but bc it is not that difficult to pause for literally 2 mintues and give people the space to be human and then just….move on with your life.

    like i dont think it can be pointed out enough that responding and reacting are two very different things and it’s a kindness to your future self to actually learn the difference.

    I know people on tumblr looove stories of underwater cave diving, but I haven’t seen anyone talk about nitrogen narcosis aka “raptures of the deep”

    basically when you want to get your advanced scuba certification (allowing you to go more than 60 feet deep) you have to undergo a very specific test: your instructor takes you down past the 60+ foot threshold, and she brings a little underwater white board with her.

    she writes a very basic math problem on that board. 6 + 15. she shows it to you, and you have to solve it.

    if you can solve it, you’re good. that is the hardest part of the test.

    because here’s what happens: there is a subset of people, and we have no real idea why this happens only to them, who lose their minds at depth. they’re not dying, they’re not running out of oxygen, they just completely lose their sense of identity when deep in the sea.

    a woman on a dive my instructor led once vanished during the course of the excursion. they were diving near this dropoff point, beyond which the depth exceeded 60 feet and he’d told them not to go down that way. the instructor made his way over to look for her and found a guy sitting at the edge of the dropoff (an underwater cliff situation) just staring down into the dark. the guy is okay, but he’s at the threshold, spacing out, and mentally difficult to reach. they try to communicate, and finally the guy just points down into the dark, knowing he can’t go down there, but he saw the woman go.

    instructor is deep water certified and he goes down. he shines his light into the dark, down onto the seafloor which is at 90 feet below the surface. he sees the woman, her arms locked to her sides, moving like a fish, swimming furiously in circles in the pitch black.

    she is hard to catch but he stops her and checks her remaining oxygen: she is almost out, on account of swimming a marathon for absolutely no reason. he is able to drag her back up, get her to a stable depth to decompress, and bring her to the surface safely.

    when their masks are off and he finally asks her what happened, and why was she swimming like that, she says she fully, 100% believed she was a mermaid, had always been a mermaid, and something was hunting her in the dark 👍

    just had a bit of a spooky moment at the bookstore

    the bookstore i work at is connected to a mall via gate, so at the end of the night we bring the gate down and lock it. ppl will sometimes still be milling about in the mall, and the last five minutes are basically you standing there hoping some idiot doesnt come traipsing in. so mac and i are standing there getting ready to close the gate and we see these two teenage boys by the children’s playground which is directly in front of our exit. one of them raises his hand but i dont wave back, bc someone said something over the headset, and when i turn around literally a minute later they are completely gone. i thought that was weird bc teenage boys who want to cause shenanigans dont usually run out but i stepped out and i genuinely couldnt see where they had gone. weird but alrigjt

    so later im sitting in the back w my two coworkers as theyre doing closing stuff and we’re all talking and laughing and such when we all distinctly hear a door slam shut. im not talking like it shutting slowly, like it shut with force. everyone else had already left for the night, so i immediately hop up bc my very first thought is “oh, one of the others must have come in”

    i run out of the backroom and call their names and then it hits me that duh, the front door is locked, and none of them have keys, so those three people couldnt have come back in. my second thought is then oh god, someone was hiding in the bathroom and theyre gonna try to rob us. so i run around the bookstore like a maniac, trying to see if i can find anyone and i cant. it is completely empty. i check our receiving bay and both bathrooms and theyre also completely clear. there arent too many places you could hide without being seen, so like im confident i didnt miss anyone there, bc inevitably even if we were playing cat and mouse i would have seen them, like it is physically impossible to stay completely out of view when someone else is running around in the way that i did.

    so i go back to the back, and tell them i didnt find anyone, and mac is like “well maybe it was a mall cleaner dropping something” and like thats a fair thing to guess bc i did see them cleaning the kids pit but also like. it was very clearly a door closing, all three of us have been here for multiple years and we know what that sounds like. I know what that sounds like. plus, the force of the noise like shook one of the walls, and that wouldn’t have happened if someone dropped something in the unattached, completely free floating kid pit.

    so yeah we lock up and leave but im still feeling a little weird abt the incident. ive definitely felt an energy in the store before, and like have had small things that like could be paranormal but also have a plausible explanation but like this genuinely is weirding me out. sure the boys could have gone down one of the side hallways, maybe they were in a hurry and i just didnt see them in time, but like. i know what a door slamming shut sounds like and that’s what i fucking heard. very weird and baffling

    #maddie mumbles #bookstore ghost? #more likely than you might think #but yeah genuinely weird i was not a fan #and again my immediate thought was a. coworker b. robber c. ghost #and i couldnt find any evidence for a or b
