Am I allowed to be mad that someone who recently said: ”I guess what I’m getting at is: discourse and critical examination of
personal preferences, habits, and contributions in fandom is good.” blocked me without a response when I said something critical about one of her personal preferences? (I’d respond to her directly if she hadn’t done that).

In retrospect, I think I was going off of incorrect information due to an alt//right psyop (like by its original definition as a deliberate operation to manipulate people psychologically instead of how it’s been turned into a meme due to the russian blog purge) but we could’ve had a conversation about it like adults instead of everything left unresolved and us both probably walking away from the interaction feeling like shit as a result.

In general, this person puts on this persona of “I’m supportive to marginalized fans” but then doesn’t do anything apart from preach about it in a self-congratulating way. People like her who know what to say in order to seem progressive but circle the wagons despite that are just as much of roadblocks to progress in making fandom more inclusive to marginalized people as people who do the same stuff without the fancy lingo.

rush-keating:

Am I seriously not going to publish this paper because some fucking German IT staff coded a page to redirect at 12AM instead of 11:59 PM????????????????????

I mean…it seems rather silly to reject a response because it was submitted on the right day but not at 12AM doesnt it? Especially when that specific time wasn’t mentioned in the email regarding the deadline and we actually submitted a day early relative to our own time zone, which is 9 hours behind. We would’ve been fine if we had submitted at the exact same time of day just in New York rather then a West Coast city. Seems rather arbitrary when only a day was given as the deadline and not an exact time. Right? Either way I’m not going to know until next Wednesday because Germans get April 30th and May 1st off apparently. 😖
