Underlined PSA
Figment, the recently closed writing website, has just launched (after a long delay) their long-awaited successor to figment known as Underlined, where users can post their work and receive feedback, supposedly.
DO NOT USE UNDERLINED. DO NOT POST YOUR WORK ON UNDERLINED.
Underlined’s terms and conditions contains a clause stating that the rights to all your work that you post on their website belongs to them!!!!
Underlined belongs to Penguin Random House. This is an extremely dirty trick for them to play on writers, especially young writers and children, who come to the internet to get feedback and will lose the rights to their work. Please boost!!!
For my writing friends looking for an online writing community, DO NOT USE Underlined.
I went to confirm @greater-than-the-sword‘s post, because seriously publishers are still pulling this garbage? And yes, they are. If you want to check out the full terms and conditions, have at it. They are full of writers’ nightmares, a few of which I’ll highlight under the cut.
Keep reading
What the actual FUCK
Aw, HELL no!
Always read the fine print. - _ -

you can make nearly any object into a good insult if you put ‘you absolute’ in front of it
example: you absolute coat hanger
as well u can just add ‘ed’ to any object and it’s sounds like you were really drunk
example: i was absolutely coat hangered last night
#i was gazeboed mate #i was absolutely baubled
Meanwhile, “utter” works for the first (e.g., “you utter floorboard”) but somehow “utterly” doesn’t seem to work as well for the second (“I was utterly floorboarded”).
Utterly doesn’t work for drunk because it’s the affix for turning random objects into terms for *shocked*, obviously.
… huh. I thought that might just be the similarity to “floored”, and yet “I was utterly coat hangered” does seem to convey something similar.
I have to tell you, I am utterly sandwiched at this discovery.
Completely makes the phrase mean “super tired”.
“God, it’s been a long week, I am completely coat-hangered.”

LISTEN UP!!!!!! NET NEUTRALITY ENDS APRIL 23RD
We put up a good fight…but now we only have 60 days to turn this around. There is still ONE thing we can all do!!!!!
There’s something called the Congressional Review Act (CRA) that can be used to stop the FCC. We just need ONE MORE VOTE to win the Senate!!!
For those who missed my last giant post a few months ago, last year, the FCC voted to repeal the Obama regulations designed to protect a fair and open internet. If these regulations are knocked down, providers like Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon will have EVERY RIGHT to slow down internet speeds to those who aren’t on their more expensive plans. Even further, they have the power to censor and regulate what we see online. MORE further, they’d even have the power to slow down competitors’ streaming speeds, like Netflix, to make their own services more appealing. THIS SHIT IS NOT RIGHT!!!!!
First thing you can do is to GET OFF YOUR ASS (OR ON IT IF YOU’RE AT A COMPUTER…) and take 20 seconds to sign this!!!! Second thing is to SHARE THIS CAMPAIGN WITH EVERYONE!!!
SIGN THIS!!!! https://www.battleforthenet.com/onemorevote/
There’s going to be a huge protest on Feb 27th that I’ll be taking part in. The above link goes into detail on what YOU can do on that day. Please guys. Don’t just sit there and let this happen. THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE! THIS IS OUR INTERNET!!!! NOW FUCKING DO SOMETHING!!!!
Just voted now! TAKES ONLY 5 SECONDS, SAVE NET NEUTRALITY! Please!
One thing I’ve noticed about this thing is that a lot of people think “oh since this is really important, lots of people will be doing this, so I’m not going to bother.”
PLEASE BOTHER!!!!! MINDSETS LIKE THIS CAN AND WILL STAND IN THE WAY OF WINNING BACK OUR RIGHTS!!!!!!!!
CALL RIGHT NOW!!!!!
^^^ This.
Remember the story about the three children named Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. Yes, it was a story involving religion, but the message is as clear, true and applicable here as in anything else.
On top of that, if you need another reason to get angry and do this, we have a new enemy that has sided with Ajit Pai: The National Rifle Association, who gave him the Charlton Heston Courage Under Fire Award and a rifle for repealing Net Neutrality.
Yes, the same NRA that a lot of people are angry at in relation to the Parkland Massacre.

Every now and then some bureaucratic paper-pusher will complain loudly about Newt’s case and the legality of his permits. This results in a little peanut gallery of aurors as they watch Percival with his ‘heard-you-were-talking-shit-about-my-boy’ face on proceed to school the little busybody. He knows each and every clause he took advantage of to get the permits. If they’re stubborn enough he’ll schedule compulsory seminars on the relevant bills because the P in P. Graves may as well stand for ‘petty’.
On that note, god help your soul if you disrupt one of Newt’s creature care workshops.
Percival made it his goal to learn everything he could about the creatures in the case, their schedules and needs - not because he didn’t trust Newt, but he’s serious about making this a partnership. The first time Newt asks about it he blushes a little, “Well, they have their mum, but I was hoping there might be room for a father figure.” (Newt launches himself at the man like an amorous octopus)
Percival is far more strict than Newt about the children seeing their ‘adult’ activities and will stop everything if one of the younglings is watching. “It’s natural Percy, don’t be silly”, “He’s barely into adolescence Newt! - come on pumpkin, back to your nest now.”
He actually keeps pictures of them in his office now and little ones in his wallet. When the aurors once convinced him to go for drinks with them after a case they mentioned the creatures and out came the wallet, Graves gushing like a proud papa.
“A- a nundu, really?” “That’s Delilah - her poison sacks were damaged and she has trouble with her back right leg but we’ve been doing an obstacle course together in the mornings and she’s tough as can be. Actually, it’s her birthday tomorrow so we’re putting in a waterhole and a new tree.”
It’s fairly routine that some of the smaller creatures follow him to work from time to time, and since Newt started using New York as his home base the number of minor creature-related incidents in MACUSA rises sharply. It helps to break up the day. They’re almost used to Niff causing various levels of chaos (half the auror department are fully in love with the little thing after he stole the tie pin and glasses from the head of finance). They’ve all had ‘niffler-catching’ training - it’s become a bit of a competition with everyone trying to improve their times.
But there are still people who firmly resist moves toward accepting creatures. There was an incident when an intern, some son of a senator, which pushed Percival to the limit. Ignoring all their training, he caught the niffler harshly by his tail and proceeded to shake the poor thing by the scruff, complaining loudly about pest control. When Percival saw Niff actually looking frightened he saw red. He tucked his little pal gently into his coat before grabbing the intern by the neck and slamming him against the wall. “You can’t do a thing to me.” “Oh yeah? Well you just violated MACUSA policy and pissed me off so you’re leaving here on your ass and you’re very lucky I’m being so generous.” “All this over some-” “Go near Niff or any other creature again and I’ll break your jaw, understood?”
Niff recovered quickly but took full advantage of the pampering his papa gave him and stuck close to his side. When Newt was brought in for punching the senator’s son in the face Percival snorted and offered him a cup of tea.
Some of the aurors come across Percival and Newt in the training hall doing exercises with the swooping evil and the nundu. “They’re fucking terrifying aren’t they?”

Get Dave out of an abusive home.
Feb. 25th, 2018 09:23 amvia http://ift.tt/2BSADuq
userboxed:
tldr: dave’s home situation fucking sucks, and we really need help if we want to help him. his gofundme is here, and i promise you every single penny would help, as would every single reblog!
“Dave’s a 20 year old Californian in-the-closet trans guy who’s just like anyone else you’d see on the street. He loves to play D&D over phone calls, he adores his Maltese pup, Snowy, he draws almost exclusively with mechanical pencils and he thinks that the Marvel Movies are the best thing since that sliced bread idiom. And he’s currently living in an extremely abusive home.Despite being 20 years old, Dave’s mother refuses to let him leave the house on his own, even to do things like walk to the McDonalds down the street. She’s stated that she still sees him as a three year old little girl playing with Barbie, and that she doesn’t want him growing up. She’s extremely critical of his difficulty in handling third level education on his own, openly homophobic, racist and transphobic, shamelessly insults both his appearance and that of any of his friends, refuses to allow Dave to leave the house if he’s not dressed femininely or to let him cut his hair any shorter than shoulder length, and he’s constantly under threat of her confiscating or monitoring his mobile phone or laptop, cutting him off from his support group. Dave needs to get out.As it stands, Dave’s friends are trying to get him out of the house, and he’s got somewhere he’ll be able to stay for 2 weeks before he needs to start paying rent at a rate of $700 a month. He’s going to start jobseeking the moment he’s out of the house and drop out of college until he’s able to financially support himself and get an education abroad with support from international friends like myself, but as it stands, he’s going to have a hard time doing so. The money from this fundraiser will, effectively, be used to pay for anything he might need help with while running away from an abusive household- stuff like rent, transport costs, food, etc, to keep him afloat until he can get a job that’ll pay for him (and his dog!)’s life away from his abusive home. Every donation will be a little more towards getting him stable and, for the first time in his life, be himself, starting with a haircut and some new clothes so he can finally look like a Dave. You can make a difference in a young trans guy’s life- and all of us, his friends, will owe you everything for your help.”

“With your strength, my lady, teeth can crush flint.”
-
Enheduanna (23rd Century B.C.) - “Nin-Me-Sharra” (“The Exultation unto Inanna”). First named woman in history and also possibly the first author of any gender whose name is known. (via mundus-absconditus)
This sentence is Inana B 27! In Sumerian, it’s Nin-ngu a niza (na)zu zu igue, composed of:
Nin-ngu “my lady”
a means “arm” or, metaphorically, “strength”
niza is a quasi-pronoun meaning “yourself”, in this case “your own”
(na)zu here means “flint”. It’s pronounced (and written) zu, identical to the following word zu “tooth”, so the classifier (na) “stone” is written before it; the (na) is not pronounced.
zu gu “teeth eat” here means “bite through” or “crush”. gu is conjugated (third non-person subject a and object (na)zu) as igue.

Please donate to: witchlingmagpie@gmail.com via PayPal. Every cent will be used to pay the lawyer who will finally put this bastard in jail.
I remember clear as day when, ten years ago, I over heard my parents saying that my uncle had beaten my heavily pregnant aunt until she passed out and that she refused to go to the hospital in fear of what he might do.
He almost killed her, pushing her down a flight of stairs in front of my grandmother. My aunt, out of fear, never said a word about it.
Once he scammed his friends out of $15000 and escaped to Italy out of fear for his life, where, after dragging her to another country where she didn’t speak the language, he left her alone without a cent working as a dishwasher in a ratty restaurant in exchange for food and a place to stay. He didn’t come back until six months later. They got divorced practically as soon as they returned to Argentina.
A year ago he beat her to a pulp at her own front door. This time she pressed charges, and a restraining order was emitted against him to keep him away from both her and the kids.
He’s a powerful and well connected man. In his own words, he wants her to rot under a bridge, wants her to be so desperate she’ll have to become a prostitute. He refused to pay alimony for the last eight years. And it’s not about the money: he believes she (and consequentially the kids) don’t deserve anything from him.
My aunt is an independent and struggling professional writer and actress. She manages to afford the cost of living with her two children, but now he’s trying to take the kids away and she can’t pay the lawyers she needs to keep him from succeeding. His contacts in the system arbitrarily took away her children and gave them to his mother, a woman in her 70s, without a single psychologist or social worker being consulted in the matter, despite not having the authority to do it or the case depending on their jurisdiction. The police literally threatened to put my aunt in jail if she refused to go with them to the Child Protection office in another county.
Instead of taking care of them, my aunt’s ex mother in law gave them to her son immediately. So now, despite having a restraining order that prevents him from being alone with the kids, he’s got them in his house.
This is not only illegal, but also since we’re on summer break in Argentina, the kids have been literally locked in his place five days a week for the last two months.
This has proven to be horribly scarring for the kids. My aunt has been receiving alarming calls from my little cousin, age 9, while hiding in the bathroom so they can’t listen to them talk, since they don’t know she has a phone. The eldest, 11, says their father has told them that “mommy used to hurt herself and then lie and say he did it”.
My aunt has pressed charges twenty six times already in the past two months. She’s been advised to record evidence and bring witnesses that testify the kids are under the father’s care.
However, documents have started disappearing. I personally testified numerous times that I had joined her to try and see the kids, and that I found them with their father. However, there’s no registry whatsoever of my declarations. They have vanished into thin air.
Now more than ever she needs a good lawyer.
Simply scheduling a meeting costs $1000 Argentinean pesos ($50 USD). By the end of the process this will end up costing around $5000 and $7000 USD, but it’ll guarantee he won’t ever come close to her or the kids again.
Every cent she makes that isn’t destined to sustaining basic needs will be destined to pay for the lawyer, but we need help. My family and her friends have been lending a hand, but there’s only so much we can do.
Please, if you can’t donate some spare change, then share this post. Maybe one of your followers can. A single US dollar equates to twenty pesos, enough for a meal. Food and rent are very cheap here, so even if it seems insignificant, it’ll mean the world to us. It could make the difference between eating or not. We’re doing all we can to make extra money.
Please share and donate! We can make this world a better place by keeping this disgusting bastard away from my family!

I can’t do anything, but I’ll definitely signal boost this, holy shit

I remember clear as day when, ten years ago, I over heard my parents saying that my uncle had beaten my heavily pregnant aunt until she passed out and that she refused to go to the hospital in fear of what he might do.
He almost killed her, pushing her down a flight of stairs in front of my grandmother. My aunt, out of fear, never said a word about it.
Once he scammed his friends out of $15000 and escaped to Italy out of fear for his life, where, after dragging her to another country where she didn’t speak the language, he left her alone without a cent working as a dishwasher in a ratty restaurant in exchange for food and a place to stay. He didn’t come back until six months later. They got divorced practically as soon as they returned to Argentina.
A year ago he beat her to a pulp at her own front door. This time she pressed charges, and a restraining order was emitted against him to keep him away from both her and the kids.
He’s a powerful and well connected man. In his own words, he wants her to rot under a bridge, wants her to be so desperate she’ll have to become a prostitute. He refused to pay alimony for the last eight years. And it’s not about the money: he believes she (and consequentially the kids) don’t deserve anything from him.
My aunt is an independent and struggling professional writer and actress. She manages to afford the cost of living with her two children, but now he’s trying to take the kids away and she can’t pay the lawyers she needs to keep him from succeeding. His contacts in the system arbitrarily took away her children and gave them to his mother, a woman in her 70s, without a single psychologist or social worker being consulted in the matter, despite not having the authority to do it or the case depending on their jurisdiction. The police literally threatened to put my aunt in jail if she refused to go with them to the Child Protection office in another county.

night time would be so beautiful and fun if all men had a curfew
Oh my god my mind runs wild thinking of all the things I’d do in the dark if there were no men out after 9.
I would wear a pretty dress and walk
in my +seven years on tumblr, this comment above me is probably the single most profound and memorable comment i’ve seen on anything on this site
i’ve seen this post multiple times and even when i haven’t seen it for months and months it still comes to mind sometimes and it’s like a stab to the chest because of how simple and yet excruciatingly true it is
i feel like even in 40 years i am going to remember this one single comment
