Had a dream this morning that Archive of our Own had a Random button which would simply take you to a random fanfic, like Wikipedia has. (AO3 does not appear to really have this, I checked and couldn't find one, but I kinda wish they did.) Someone had started a game where whatever fic you got, that was your new fandom, which is very fun! I would love this meme in real life.
The problem came in where so many people used the button that it broke and just started sending everyone to Stealing Harry, and like...I have fond memories of Stealing Harry but it's not my best work and nobody should be assigned to be a Harry Potter fan in this day and age.
So I decide to go off and find Astolat and demand she fix this but when I finally did (there was a whole quest) she turned to me like the baddie in a horror flick and said, "But that's the most random story there is" in a dark voice and I was terrified and woke up.
In the cold light of day I know there are more random stories by me on the archive, let alone by others, but I'm not going to try to get back there to argue my case. Pretty sure whatever I spoke to was actually the demon specifically assigned to plague fandom and not Astolat at all.
I'd say "get thee behind me, demon" but I know just how many porny fics on AO3 begin with that premise. (I've written some.) Begone foul spirit, and take your Satanic Panic with you!

so. i had an idea
unfortunately for skizz, bdubs' court seems to work on bugs bunny logic. you can have a very sensible case with rational arguments, but that means nothing in a court where the bit is king. joe hills, however, picked this up immediately. he is a natural. please make him public defender I'm begging-
A lottttta (young white) people say shit like “I don’t feel safe confronting racists” when referring to shit like, telling a coworker that their racist joke is inappropriate or intervening when a customer is screaming at a 17 yo Taco Bell employee. when what they actually mean is “i don’t want to feel uncomfortable ever” it doesn’t matter how much ethnically ambiguous podcast protagonist porn you read or cute disability infographics you reblog, you actually have to stand up for the people you claim to care about, otherwise that just makes you a clicktivist i’m sorry but you can change that.
yes it’s scary at first but it gets easier and you gotta do it because helping that other person is way more important than your temporary discomfort and I promise you the person being a dick also feels uncomfortable receiving pushback. we will probably never eliminate this shit from society but we can do our damnedest to shame assholes and entitled people in public spaces until they behave better.
Hey, the US gov just put up a tip line for teachers who say DEI or woke stuff. I’m sending this to any of the accounts I follow that seem able and potentially willing to spread this so we can spam it into uselessness! Link to form: https://enddei.ed.gov/
