1. I try, Anon, because it’s a rough world. I worry that I fail more than I should. 2. Yeah, but never about dating. ;p 3. Yes, but that’s not to say I dislike the felines. I grew up with dogs always around and they speak to my soul. Mostly to say, ‘Give me your food, human,’ but it’s a connection, you know.
If the world ever leaves you feeling hopeless, remember that Star Trek was cancelled twice and deemed an utter failure; then rose from the ashes to become the flagship for all of science fiction, spawning six spin-offs, fourteen movies, and enough novels to keep the fires burning through the Long Night. Oh, and inspired new technology, popularized fan fiction, created slash, forged the foundation for modern fan culture, and pushed young people to the sciences. A show that was fucking cancelled. CANCELLED!
So. When it gets bad out there, just… be Star Trek.
Alright, since the reactions to the interest check can be summoned up a
I’m going to go ahead. This will be a two-parter and it will be LONG. This first installment will deal with an article about the Four-Thieves-Collective (going forward: FTC) i’ve been shown elsewhere, the second part will be the FTC’s own FAQ which is equally bad and therefore needs its own post.
Now without further ado, let us begin.
The FTC claim to want to help people by allowing them to make their own medications. I wish we were talking about willow bark tea but boy are we not.
…JFC. Yeah, that college needs to be contacted. I don’t know what else to do. @ardwynna have you heard of this?
Sounds like a high tech version of what so-called third world countries already do. The legit drug may be priced out of reach, so they take their chances on cheap generics and alleged alternatives manufactured elsewhere under uncertain safety regulations, and of questionable concentration and efficacy. I’m not so much surprised or concerned about the FTC’s actions as I am about the healthcare systems and policies that give them the opening for it. I’ve mentioned it before, the US is becoming third world in a lot of ways.
did u guys know there’s a whole subset of tumblr that hates bobby flay’s guts
I haven’t written in months, literal months, this has been … a year of changes. It’s okay, can still be on target in the long run, but my apologies to my FFVII Exchange recipient, I think it’s going to suck.
I wonder where the break happened that such wide swaths of younger fans don’t grasp fandom things that used to be unspoken understandings. That fic readers are expected to know fiction from reality, that views expressed in fic are not necessarily those of the author, that the labels, tags and warnings on various kinkfics are also the indication that they were created for titillation and not much more, please use responsibly as per all pornography. The ‘problem’ isn’t that so-called ‘problematic’ fic exists but that some of the audience is being stupid, irresponsible, at worst criminal, at best not old enough to be in the audience to begin with. And that’s on the consumer, not the author who told you via labels, tags, ratings, warnings and venues what their fic was about and what it was for.
