Nonbinary peeps who need support:


Psychology Today is well-respected and they tell folks to support nonbinary identities! TransEquality says the same thing! So does NPR!

There are also: Zines!, Buttons!, T Shirts! and so many more ways and ideas to support us!

In other news, I am archiving my works onto Squidgeworld, in case AO3 suddenly disappears for being in violation of international law and unable to moderate effectively with the current abuse and legal team fuckery.

And finally: these are the cutest shoes and I think I'm going to get them next month.

Fucks sake, the AO3 stuff gets more and more depressing. It’s got too big for what it is, I think, and they haven’t worked out how to move with its size, which is really fucking important. And of all the things I don’t have spoons for, that is so one.

There is, weirdly enough, more hope for AO3 and the OTW as institutions because all of this scrutiny is on them to update their front end + back end systems than there would be if we didn't know about it. The fact that it was formed by fandom is both a failing AND a saving grace, because fandom is BIG and DIVERSE and AMAZING!

Don't lose hope: we can do this!

I am grabbing an ID and backing stuff up at Squidgeworld for just-in-case, but that doesn't mean that I and other people are not really invested in saving the OTW and AO3. I just gave $10 to get to vote in the upcoming elections, actually, so if you have spare cash and want to read up on the candidates for AO3's leadership, you can do that. If you want links:
