Not expecting this latest shit to collapse the floorboards under us more than any of the prior disasters have, but since we have to be lucky every time…
My bluesky, if anyone wants it.
Not expected to become active there until Tumblr collapses, but I’ve got the name reserved all the same.

With fear of HR9495 passing and being signed into law, you might be panicking about how to download hundreds or thousands of fic from AO3 ‘just in case’.
If that’s a concern, or if you want to know how to download fic from a bunch of other sites (FF.net, Spacebattles, AlternateHistory.com, and more) I wrote up a brief guide [tumblr post] on what tools are out there.

What’s my expertise worth? Whatever you want it to be worth.
Anyways, my immediate thoughts of ‘what you can do’ [tumblr post], if wanting any direction or wanting to see what randos on your dash are recommending you do.
In short: learn opsec/infosec, make sure you know how to garden or fix things, and start thinking now of what you want (or need) to back up off the web.
I don’t know where to begin giving you tips on how to get out of the country fast, but: whether you can or can’t get out of America, you might want (or need) to learn some of this shit to make it through whatever the fuck is coming.

[Tags and Tag-Related Content]
- list/explanation of my tags (…missing ~3yrs of tags and needing to be updated lol)
- ao3 profile
- bluesky profile (inert until this own site collapses, but if you want to follow me in advance of that…)
(Otherwise, feel free to shoot me an Ask if you’re curious about what a tag means or if the wording is original/pulled from somewhere! Always down to explain in more detail!)
New Subject/Content Tags
- Apparently I didn’t have a proper ‘matters of ongoing censorship’ tag. I do now: where they have burned books (they will end in burning human beings)
For if certain Supreme Court rulings occurFor how to survive Roe. v Wade being overturned: abortion resources + reproductive choice resources + bodily autonomy resources (crosstagged in case any of these words ends up on Tumblr’s ‘blocked tag’ list for, you know, “purely coincidental” reasons)- for protesting tips, keeping one’s communication secure, practicing triple redundancy on info-storage (but not too private info on stuff like GDoc), and similar ways of covertly surviving a Big Data world: opsec matters
- for information/web-usage sanitation (like VPNs), and for general knowledge-resources for communicating: tips and tricks and warnings (communications and infosec)
- the human urge to glorify and worship stimulants: to vibrate like a tuning fork and see the shadow people
- stitching, mending, and patchwork: a stitch in time saves nine
- for talking (semi-)hard SF, from space SF to military SF: grognards talking tinkertech
Outdated ‘Current Events’ Tags
- twitter implosion speedrun and the tailspin of reddit, devoted to the respective social media sites blowing up live (hopefully not in prophecy for tumblr itself…)
- pride month, wrath month, and a particular recognition of the fight on all fronts as of mid-2023: it takes a certain type of wrath (to laurel oneself in pride against the fangs that aim to strike us down)
USA Abortion ban threatRoe. v Wade actively being overturned: the assault on roe v. wade (and what might come after)- Tumblr Blaze: tumblr has enabled PvP mode
- about everyone walking off their jobs, and the impacts that are becoming known: the old normal is gone & the new normal is not yet certain (now is the time of taking your chances elsewhere)
- CW possibly being sold: brought to you by the CW (for how much longer?)
- Dec 2021 Tumblr Tag-Ban: the age of [redacted]
