It truly is a dangerous business, going out your door
It truly is a dangerous business, going out your door
Just thought I'd share a couple of interesting culture nuggets with you guys, with minimal commentary. The first is a quote from renowned, Nobel Prize winning physicist Max Planck, who I believe was also quite wise regarding people, as well as the rules which govern the universe.
"A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it."
Recently I was thinking of making a blog post teasing my next story as a way to generate hype. Doing so now feels wrong, though. So instead:
Black lives matter. Fuck all fascists. If you disagree with that don't follow me and don't read my fucking stories.
Here's a link to ways you can help out.
Here are some good blogs about the nazi problem within our own fandom:
To the cop who just gave me a ticket for “riding your bike on the sidewalk on the wrong side of the road” and making me miss my bus, thank you so much. I feel so safe now.
Haha just kidding. I hope your house gets firebombed, your loved ones disown you, you get brain cancer, and most importantly, that you eat my entire ass.
I was going to post a new critique today. But it seemed distasteful, to let everything going on pass without comment. I generally try and limit what I say on FIMfiction to...well, things related to fiction. But fiction exists to reflect and comment upon life. And there is no shortage of things to reflect and comment upon these days.
Welp, looks like it’s back to my alt account for another 30 days. At least I got all that great shitposting in first.
I posted up my Patreon poll yesterday, which includes TEN entries this month (not just MLP ideas either) from $10+ Patrons! One of these stories will be declared the winner at the beginning of 2021, and will be made into a story in January. If you want to help determine a winner, follow the link (that's open to everyone) and cast your vote: https://www.patreon.com/posts/45453720
Expect a new story out tonight.
In my last blog post, I said that I actively try to avoid posting overtly personal things on here. But that's the problem, isn't it? That mentality. "You shouldn't speak about certain things. Those things have a place and it isn't here."
But when you ignore something, you are implicitly approving of it. To be silent about an issue is to say that it is not worth speaking up about.
