I feel kinda dumb asking this but, on the topic of How to download fics, are there any reasons Why I should download fics beyond letting me read them when the site’s down? Like, does the creator get a notification or?

No, the creator does not get a notification when you download them

It’s just a feature to make them offline for readers when Archive of Our Own isn’t available or an option, you don’t have to wait until the Archve is going down, like when you’re about to go on a flight with your phone in airplane mode, or you just want to use ebook settings for the reading (changing the font, background color, scrolling vs page flipping, accessibility features, ect)

also, for posterity! you never know when your favorite fic might disappear off the face of the earth, never to be seen again. i’ve had this happen to me dozens of times over the years and it’s devastating every single time, doubly so if you can’t remember the title or author to use the wayback machine to try to scrounge up proof of its existence. saving a copy for personal use means you never have to worry about it

currently maybe possibly single-handedly crashing whatever servers eton hosts its archived student newspapers on because me and a friend are getting obsessed with a single outspoken prefect from 1883

@queenlua Happily! This is going to be long, so here’s some set dressing first:

Eton College, for anyone unfamiliar, is a prestigious boys’ school in England that has famously educated MANY MANY politicians, royals, nobility, and other assorted famous people. All you really need to know about it is that’s it’s incredibly posh and expensive and exclusive

The Eton Society (called “Pop” internally) is a self-selecting body of senior students at Eton that have historically held a decent amount of power at the school. If you’ve ever attended a school with a prefect system/house system etc you probably know a little bit about how obnoxious this kind of group can get. Now imagine they’re all called Lord Godfrey Pickerington or something. Are you getting it? Is the set being dressed? Good.

Now that the scene is set, here’s our tale!!

I stumbled into Eton’s archives while doing research for a fanfiction and we’ll just leave that admission where it is!! It was in reading old issues of their student-run paper, The Chronicle, from 1883 that myself and @carebewear started becoming fixated on one guy in particular.

Cecil B. Gedge (from this point on known as Gedge) was a member of the Eton Society in 1883/84. He won a few Science awards during his time there (Biology!!) and seemed to like rowing during school sports events. He went on to become a barrister, which will make sense once you know more about him.

The best part of Gedge, though, is his appearances in the minutes for the Eton Society meetings. At least at Gedge’s time, the Eton Society seemed really fond of staging debates (more like loosely organised discussions) on a wide variety of topics.

Here are some of the riveting questions they discussed!

And my personal favourite: “Are Ghosts Real?”

(They were very divided)

Gedge first came to our attention in debate about the annexation of New Guinea, in which he apparently started an “abusive attack on the British army and missionaries”:

Wow! Based Gedge!? He continues to spit period-typical truths about things like how we shouldn’t tax bicycles actually because it would disproportionately affect poor people. YIMBY Gedge?? He would’ve loved light rail.

The final nail in our Gedge obsession was a debate on women’s suffrage, in which Gedge vehemently advocates for women’s right to vote and then gets no supporters at the end of the meeting. But I appreciate that he said it anyway and kept saying it. He is more persecuted that Christ, to me.

Here are some more, from anti-conscription sentiment to indirectly calling his classmates stupid to weirding everyone out by saying he wants to donate his body to science (his friend dissecting him for fun):

We started getting the feeling people might not have liked Gedge that much, mainly since one of the Society members wrote a poem about all his friends and Gedge isn’t in it.

In 1884, there was some extended drama in the Chronicle where someone whom I groundlessly suspect was Gedge under a pseudonym (“A Socialist”), wrote to the editor complaining that the “debates” published by the Eton Society were “bad” (genuine quote) and that they should make a REAL debate society at the school that ALL boys, not just the self-selected seniors, could participate in:

To make a long story short most of the vocal members of the Eton Society threw up their hands at this and refused to do anything, basically boiling down to “Just because we’re the prefects of the school doesn’t mean we should have to actually DO anything!! Unfair!!” and also this quote which reads exactly like at least a thousand real tweets I’ve seen in my life

Liberal. Gedge, of course, was there giving practical suggestions, but the discussion was ultimately cut short because their principal died and they had to push a memorial issue of the paper. We have a working theory that the staff might’ve used that interruption as an opportunity to get the boys to cut it the fuck out.

Anyway it’s a little unclear what happens to Gedge after that. He isn’t credited as being in the 1884 Eton Society in the larger school register but it’s unclear if that’s because he wasn’t re-elected or if he just graduated. Either way, he went on to become a barrister in London, which makes a lot of sense. Sadly though, he passed away in WW1, which we were really normal about

Thank you Lt. Gedge, for truly embodying the eternal spirit of an outspoken debate-kid, a friend to the lefties, a proto-yimby, a terminal back-talker, and the kid in a biology class that’s a little too excited for the dissections. I hope your life, however short, was a rich and bright one. Thanks for the incredibly entertaining afternoon, brother 🫡

So you know that one thing where the villain and hero switch bodies, and the villain was like, “Well, at least I can find out their secret identity”, before he pulls off the mask and is like “I have no idea who this is”, I just want that scene redone with Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Perry the Platypus, like one of Dr. Doofenshmirtz’s inventions accidentally Freaky Friday them, and Dr. Doofenshmirtz is like, “well, at least I can know who Perry the Platypus really is” and then he takes off the hat, and he just goes “I have no idea who this is” that would be amazing, unfortunately, I am not very good at drawing

US-ians without health insurance would normally be able to get free covid shot access through the end of the year, but it was cut at the end of august to prevent a government shutdown.

If you, like me, are uninsured in the united states and want the new covid vaccine sooner than later, first please look into local resources/ nearby vaccine clinics/community health departments because they can offer low-cost or no cost vaccinations (albeit it may be a few weeks until they have covid shots on hand. they should have flu shots right now).

If you can’t wait, are high risk or living with someone high risk, and say “ok fine I will just pay” you can schedule a covid vaccine online at most pharmacies, but they are typically charging in the ~$190 to ~$200 range. Goodrx coupons exist (and I think so do other medicine coupon services), but searching for the correct current vaccines is unintuitive just searching “covid vaccine” will only retrieve coupons for earlier discontinued formulas. Instead, you need to search for “Comirnaty” (Pfizer’s current covid vaccine), “Spikevax” (Moderna’s current covid vaccine), or “Novavax” (for, of course, Novavax’s covid vaccine).

To use a service like Goodrx (or one of its equivalents), enter your zip code, choose a pharmacy close to you with the most affordable price for the vaccine (you do NOT need to create an account, start a free trial, or even download an app) then screenshot, print out, or clearly write down the codes in the coupon (the bin, pcn, group, and member id codes).

Schedule a covid shot appointment at that pharmacy you saved the coupon for, and specify when you arrive at the pharmacy that you want to use a goodrx (or whatever youre using) coupon and give them the coupon information/codes. The coupon isn’t insurance, but the pharmacy will enter the information from the coupon as if it is. (Note that the coupon will Only apply to the price of the covid shot, not to any other shots you may get at the appointment). Unless something goes wrong, the pharmacy is contractually obligated to charge you the discounted price noted on the coupon.

Below are coupon links for the current covid vaccines. If there are other medicine coupon retrieving services out there for covid vaccines, feel free to reblog with the links.

yo does anyone else feel CONSTANTLY guilty? like you’ve always done something wrong but you don’t know what it is?

Yes, and I’ve spoken to my therapist about it, who offered an explanation:

She says that people who from a young age were made to feel like they kept doing things wrong - people who’s parents had impossibly high standards for them, people who were bullied, people who have special needs, people who didn’t develop crushes on the “right” people, people who didn’t act like the “right” gender - basically ended up being made to feel guilty so much that guilt became their default response to everything. Guilt became the emotional response to anything which the person didn’t already have a set emotion for.

People for whom guilt is the default emotional response are also more likely to have low self-esteem, doubt their own experiences, and experience impostor syndrome. So, watch out for that too guys

Unlearning this is a bitch

It is indeed a bitch, but it CAN be done and it is SO worth it.

(image description: a tweet with the following text:

A child is polite: wow! such a good kid

A child is polite (China): the Chinese are taught from a young age that any individuality will be punished.

A child is polite (Japan): This can be explained by the Shinto concept of ゲイのセクシ, a word untranslateable into English,

end description)

For the record, 1. “ゲイのセクシ” (gei no sekushi) is Google Translate screwing up “gay sex” apparently (and the author of the tweet was very sleep-deprived when they made this)

and 2. that was in response to this:

(Image description: a tweet by Wirelessly__ with the text “thing I keep seeing” and two other images: one, a frowning face next to the word “thing” and a cheerful smiling face with a heart next to the text “thing, japan”; the other, the previous face smiling at the word “thing”, and the frowning face with “thing, china”)

I remember during the Olympics, the western media reported that all Chinese athletes have no freedom and train like machines every day, however, in reality the athletes themselves say that there is a limit to the amount of time they can exercise. Coaches don’t allow them to work out for long periods of time because excessive exercise can damage their bodies, and Chinese athletes will still go around chilling and have fun, not much different from college students.

Anyway still on my Candace loving train but can we talk about how in Nerds of a Feather Candace is absolutely humiliated and ashamed to be a fan of Ducky Momo because it’s a “kids show”

To the point where she straight up lied to both Jeremy and Stacy about where she was that day (something we had never seen her do up until that point and then never see her do again)

And then literally as soon as Jeremy found out and reassured her that he didn’t think any less of her

She starts openly talking more about it and her interest in it and the collectibles, to both her friends and her family. And then eventually we get these scenes:

Where Candace’s friends actively participate in this thing she enjoys, even if it’s not necessarily something they like as much as she does. (Granted I know Vanessa didn’t really CHOOSE to be at the movies 😂 but it still counts)

And they never once make fun of her for it - in fact, no one who she cares about in the show EVER teases her about her enjoyment of the character.

That’s all just to say I think it’s a really cute way to tell viewers that it’s okay to like things that aren’t “cool,” and that actual friends will happily pursue/discuss your interests with you.

How to spot signs and symptoms of Breast Cancer 

Reblog to literally save a life

whish they told us this in school, all they did was say “feel for lumps, you will know when you feel it”

This is important, even if it doesn’t work with your blog theme REBLOG IT!!!!

Women need to know this, not all of us have ever been told what we need to look out for!

yeah reblogging especially for my transmasc fellows who (like me) might be real uncomfortable with their chests and not know what to watch out for because we try to avoid this kind of thing (just me? okay)

Cis Men need to know it too.  They can get breast cancer even though the odds are lower.

Everyone needs to know Breast cancer symptoms

For everyone who’s confused

I feel like im watching a wedding ceremony from a country i didnt know existed. Like, I have no idea how all this stuff is important but good for you?????

This is hella interesting.

btw she gave him a single which can be made in a matter of minute depending on pattern and size but he gave her a giant cuff which can take hours or even more than a day to complete based on just how complex the design and materials are. she wanted to trade something small and simple and he gave her a massive token of his love and respect for her as a fellow raver (and possibly his junior in the scene)

a drawing of a scene featuring a frog dressed in farming attire, tending to his flock of lady beetles, which are quite large in scale against him. The lady beetle he's attending to is eating hay, while another is further back under a large clover. In the background there is more clover and grass, towering over the scene like trees, as well as a red barn. ALT

Did you know in some languages lady beetles are called god’s little cow. I think about that often.

Five asexuals are playing cards.

One starts to explain the rules: 

I’d say no cheating, but there are already five aces at the table.

just a reminder that apparently anybody who isn’t ace cheats

this literally says the aces are cheating…………. because… you can’t have five aces in a deck………….it’s the Opposite of the second comment…

Reading comprehension on this site is piss-poor

How dare you say aces piss on the poor

Happy pride y'all

It should 100% be illegal for companies to make you give them your payment information when you sign up for a free trial version of their product. It is not necessary and there is no good fucking reason for them to do it. It’s blatantly just so they can steal forgetful customers’ money.

oh hey, thanks for reminding me to cancel a free trial i had going on.

Reblog to save an unnecessary charge cause it also reminded me to cancel a trial lol

The oldest living tree ever found was a pine named “Prometheus.” It had been alive since before the Egyptian pyramids were built. Some guy cut it down in 1964. Source

he was actually a forestry graduate student who was doing research on bristlecone pines (Pinus langaevea) and got his increment borer stuck in the tree. this tool costs almost $800, so he asked the forest service if he could cut down the tree to recover the tool. after cutting it down, it became apparent that the tree was actually the oldest living organism. ever. (around 8,000 years old). so, not just some asshole. the guy feels extremely guilty and has even broken down in tears during an interview about the accident

OH MY GOD SO LET ME TELL YOU A STORY

So after the grad student cut down the tree and discovered it was the oldest tree in the world he quit studying forestry and went to study salt flats (can’t cut down the oldest trees in the world on salt flats no siree none of that happening) and he was being interviewed about his research, but in the middle of the interview the reporter just stops and says “wait aren’t the guy that…”

And he just takes off running. Literally. Turns around and runs across the salt flats away from the interview and I feel so bad for him but I can’t help but start crying I’m laughing so hard about it
imagine a guy high tailing it across salt flats away from a dude with a recorder

its so different to know it was an accident and that NO ONE was aware until after. its not like this was one ignorant guy cutting down a fucking relic.

It IS true that being on here gives you a tumblr accent. This morning my mother asked me something and i replied “i don’t know i’ve never heard these words in that order” and she nearly choked laughing. It wasn’t even that funny

at my old job i had a coworker who was tired and made a coffee with like 6 or 8 shots of espresso and i just casually went up to them like “are you trying to meet god?” and not only was this absolutely hilarious to them but they brought it up in future conversations they thought it was so funny but to me this was just as casual as saying “woah that’s a lot of coffee”

Being funny on Tumblr and then going to be funny in real life is like traveling to a foreign country and baby the currency exchange rate is biased in your favor

co worker bought three redbulls and I said “oh you never want to have a three redbull kinda day” and i genuinly think it’s the funniest thing she ever heard in her life. it’s been months and she still says that, “its a three redbull kinda day”. she calls me the funniest person she knows and either she has never met anyone else who uses tumblr or I truly got autism swag

I would be so powerful if I wasn’t french and could carry the thmblr funnies into meatspace

I’m hungarian and the initial anecdote occured in hungarian. Live your dreams. Don’t confine yourself to english

the other day I was taking a walk when I saw this old guy trapped under a cart. people were trying to help him but it was too heavy so I stepped forward and lifted it off him (I work out a lot.) then, this old police inspector told me I had to be a convict because of how strong I was. I looked him straight in the eye and said, “it’s 1815. anyone can be strong, including non felons, women, and gay people. the only person who’s weak here is you.” he started crying and gave me fifty crowns while everyone clapped, even the nuns

They’re deactivated now and I really hope they are okay, but my nihilism is telling me something else. :(

nah i just changed urls a few times. i came out and transitioned, graduated college, and got an amazing girlfriend who lights up my life. i had to delete the queued update to this post that said 8400 days for my 23rd birthday because i’m in a really good place right now.

to everyone struggling: it really does get better.
