this is so funny

smoo told me to draw zutara week stuff so instead i drew some modern au gaang. sorry for my shitty handwriting.

i love these two so much

now that ao3 as a whole is a hugo nominee and has reminded us all that it is an incredibly well-designed, excellently maintained project with an archival system that is the envy of many librarians etc, it is a great time to remember that:

if you can’t donate, spreading the word, congratulating ao3 on the nomination, and thanking the ao3 volunteers for their hard work would also be lovely!!

I feel like I’m playing the most suspenseful moment of a Bioshock game and this is the audio recording I’ve found in the bottom of a trash can

I never realized how globally iconic the american road trip was until I lived abroad and people asked me about it

like I remember saying once ‘I’ll miss the ocean here :(’ (I live in the middle of the US) and my South African friend was like “??? won’t you just road trip to go see it? Don’t you road trip everywhere?’ and I was like, ‘I mean, yes, yeh. I can’t deny that.’ and they’d nod their head like ‘that’s exactly as it should be you funky little american, that’s how it is’

like, it never occurred to me other people didn’t frequently jump in their car and traverse the great straight and endless roads of your huge-ass corn-and-cow country for hours on end for fun

much less people around the world were like strongly associating us with it, like ‘americans and their cars and their hijinks and their coming-of-age driving tales, yes’

anything that contains the phrase “secret BBC memo reveals” intrigues me automatically ngl but I want you all to know that as far as I can gather, the facts are even better than this headline

which is to say, this was part of an initiative in the early 1970s that not only featured marginalized groups on BBC programming, but made moves towards handing them editorial control – the BBC had to approve proposals, but after that, the station’s role was primarily to provide technical resources, facilities, and copyright handling. (another notable program under this initiative featured Black teachers discussing racism in the school system, and a link to that – plus discussion of the hurdles it faced – can be found here).

the program on trans experience was aired in 1973.

you can watch Open Door: Transex Liberation Group here (as well as other archived LGBTQ programming from BBC).
