this site is hell for people with ocd holy fucking shit
reminder that not reblogging a post about something doesn’t make you an awful person. you arent obligated to post about anything. you can log off if you want, it doesn’t make you an irredeemable piece of shit. if you need a break from the news for mental health reasons you’re allowed to. don’t listen to any guilt trip telling you that it’s bad if you don’t doomscroll 24/7. you’re not a bad person, don’t worry. okay
i love you people in my phone i know the seasonal depression is setting in so we need to hold eachother like a litter of kittens in a cardboard box okay…its important
Toby Fox may be the creator I respect most because after creating a game so huge that Nintendo sniped his character for Smash and the Pope’s orchestra played his music for the Goddamn Pope I VERY much think it would be within Toby’s right to develop of God complex, crack and become insane, go on a bender in the streets of LA, and then have an extremely public Twitter meltdown before getting suspended. Imagining the pressure, I think I personally would do all those things, in that order, in under 6 months’ time.
Instead as far as I can tell he’s just like “I’m dog” and has been like “I’m dog” since Undertale launched and he’s just out there somewhere with near-total anonymity just making his little haha games. Absolute King.
toby fox has had the rightest idea of us all, that he has simply Not Interacted with the internet for the majority of his career. shit aint worth it
It’s Halloween! Time for spooky spells and crime! Also, if anyone presses my doorbell trying to get candy, it will activate the trapdoor beneath the unwelcome mat.
Where does it lead?
The flesh corridor
Yum
I wanna go on the flesh slide!!
me next me next!
Not a slide
send me in boss!
Are none of you wondering where the flesh corridor actually goes?
With a name like ‘the Flesh Corridor’ it can only lead to something good
Wrong
Don’t tell me what I can consider 'good’. You don’t know me
Specifically, places where people can gather, have fun, host events or even just hang out. Similar to what libraries are, but not quite–a place where kids can be loud and rowdy and hang out, make friends, practice sports. Though they definitely should still have quiet areas, maybe craft rooms too. A nice place to go to and hang out after school before you’re ready to head home–or a safe place to stay if you don’t want to head home. Community centers could also still be fantastic for adults too–they could be used as a place to host classes on different crafts, or repairs, etc.–and still be a perfectly valid place to hang out and seek refuge.
Places like these do exist in many places in a few different forms, but a lot of them are directly tied to organizations and groups that may make people more hesitant to partake in them (ie churches, Police Athletic Leagues), or they have a cost barrier to taking part of the amenities (YMCA). While these places are definitely suitable and fulfilling for many people, they’re often limiting and stifling for others–if not just flat-out inaccessible. Not to mention, they don’t all fill the roles I mentioned above.
I think having robust community centers would be great for societies all over. I’ll admit, my imagination is a bit grand–community gardens, sports rec rooms, swimming pools, reading and craft rooms, a repair cafe, a food cafe, maybe a dorming area for overnight stays, soup kitchens, showers, mutual aid closets and such.
Though I guess that brings about the question of how this would be funded. With churches, it’s tithes and other forms of community fundraising. With police athletic leagues, its… taxes, I guess? Alongside other donations. And with the YMCA, it’s memberships that provide the funding for their amenities. My initial instinct is to say a mix of taxes and maybe some community contributions would be what funds a good community center, but then there comes the issue of some places having better or worse community centers depending on the median income of their area… especially when you see how places like libraries already get little funding in favor of larger policing budgets (the libraries in my city are all closed on Sundays, and have shorter hours in general, for example)
I know I’m just rambling at this point. I just think community centers are cool! They’re punk! And we should have them–cool, fun community centers!
Diplomatic relations with the fey have broken down. The Empire of Helmgar now officially declares war on the Feywild. There will be no Feywild. We will be using goblin Blitzkrieg tactics. There will be no survivors.
That’ll teach those shithead pixies to insult my hat.
I cast wall.
No war.
Problem solved
Do… do you think a wall will stop me?
Yes. :3
Fool
Okay but how you getting past it? The wall is quite b i g
Break wall
but what jf theres a bigger wall behind it
Break
What if there’s a series of bigger walls behind each wall, and when you break a wall it starts reconfiguring into a bigger wall at the end?
Break them all at once
What if the whole world is a wall and the sky is a wall and YOU are a wall???
“You aren’t OK with AI Voices but you’re OK with Miku????”
First off, never insult my dearest friend Hatsune Miku like that ever again.
Second, Miku isn’t stealing voices. That’s the issue with AI voices. They’re stealing other people’s voices. Miku? She is a funky little hologram with a funky little hologram voice.
Big difference.
Edit: The difference is Hatsune Miku’s voice bank originator consented to have her voice be used. The people making voice copies of say, Commander Jane Shepard are directly violating the voice actor’s wishes.
“You aren’t OK
with AI Voices but you’re
OK with Miku????”
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Please wizards, make sure to check your familiar’scandy this year, I just found a fireball in a snickers! Truly some sick and twistedartificers out there!
Remember how many messages out of Gaza in the last three weeks have been simple pleas to be remembered, to be prayed for and thought of, to not be left alone. Demonstrations need to be combined with other forms of direct action to have a hope of changing policy, and that needs to remain the goal. But this is one thing protests can do in themselves: say, “We have not forgotten you. We are here.”
omg so yesterday i put a salt line on the pathway to our front door because i was fucking around and my brother was pretending to be a demon
and today we ordered pizza and the salt line was still there
and my brother went outside to sign for the pizza
and the pizzaman refused to step over the salt line, like he almost did and then he backed up and handed my bro the pizza and left; which is pretty ridiculous because it’s far from our door
so a heads up to everyone i’m pretty sure domino’s is actually run by demons??? kind of like how in men in black the post office is run by aliens
What if they thought you guys were the demons
ohmygod
plot twist he was just a bunch of slugs in a man costume
I love calling out aphobia. Genuinely. We don’t call out aphobia enough, passive or explicit.
Examples of passive aphobia and amato/allonormativity, for anyone wondering:
Implying someone needs a partner or that everyone wants a partner.
Saying “something more” and “more than friends” in reference to getting together. Boy oh boy, do I see this all the time in fanfic. (Other things you can say are “something else”, “something different”, “other than friends”, “in addition to”. This way, we’re not unintentionally enforcing relationship hierarchies.)
Saying/Implying someone hasn’t met the right person yet.
Implying all aros are heartless/don’t love (this diminishes platonic attraction/relationships).
Implying all aros feel love (this excludes loveless and aplatonic aros).
Saying aroallos are all sluts.
Implying sex is a milestone people reach.
Implying a first kiss is a milestone to reach.
Enforcing relationships hierarchies, intentionally or otherwise. (This looks like the example above, as well as pitting different types of relationships against each other or saying a certain type of relationship is more important than another.) (Yes, this goes for saying platonic relationships are more important than romantic ones. That excludes aplatonics.)
The only aspec rep in media being the villains/non-human characters/etc. (Disclaimer: Us reclaiming those things is different. I personally love seeing aro rep in non-human characters, but that’s just me. Non-human characters being the only aspec rep is the problem.)
Implying all aces are aro.
Implying all aros are ace.
Implying all aros experience platonic attraction.
And much more. The aspec community isn’t black and white–that’s why it’s the a-spectrum.
DISCLAIMER: I am only one loveless aplatonic aromantic and do not speak for the entire aspec community.
oooo I got some more!
Implying alloace people’s redeeming quality is the fact that they still experience romantic attraction (in a sense of “they’re not heartless they can still fall in love!”)
I’ve seen that a lot from alloace people sadly.
Assuming all ace people still feel romantic attraction
implying aroace people are less valid bc they don’t feel sexual or romantic attraction
It really goes both ways, don’t assume all aces are aro and vice versa, but also don’t assume someone being ace means they’re not aro. I’ve seen both and neither is more helpful.
and of course
forgetting about the rest of the spectrum, Demi-, Grey-, Cupio-, Apothi-, and many more identities exist upon the asexual and aromantic spectrums <3
Note, I am finding these threads on the twitter feeds of ICU nurses who are now dreading the horrors that Roe falling will bring to their hospitals. This, on top of the horrors that they’ve seen and continue to see because of the pandemic. They were already exhausted and hanging by a thread.
flashback to when MLK Jr said the worst group in the US for black rights wasn’t the lawmakers passing Jim Crow laws or the KKK but the white moderate. That it was the white moderate who was forcing the country to find a middle ground between civil rights and genocide which allowed the continued systematic mistreatment of the African American community
I’d like to believe you but we both know what you’re capable of
I made sourdough like that. We jokingly called it the “tasty brick” and cut off super thin slices because it WAS delicious, but it was so dense, a single normal slice would sit heavy in your belly like a brick.
“The dwarf bread was brought out for inspection. But it was miraculous, the dwarf bread. No one ever went hungry when they had some dwarf bread to avoid. You only had to look at it for a moment, and instantly you could think of dozens of things you’d rather eat. Your boots, for example. Mountains. Raw sheep. Your own foot.”
i do not care if someone learned compassion from a cartoon or a comic or an anime im just glad they’re here with us now a better person fighting the good fight. should it have taken something so trivial? maybe not- but it’s in the past! and this is the now! and if they’re objectively better for it who cares
“it took gay shipping for this adult to stop being homophobic 😬” ok but they stopped being actively homophobic. that’s what you just said. that’s literally the only important part you understand that right? this is a win for everyone you get that?
we all start somewhere and im going to be real buddy i only care about the harm you did or didn’t cause on your journey and where you ended up. whatever set it off only matters as much as you want it too
Surely that is a major part of why we want more representation in mainstream media in the first place. It’s very weird to campaign for good portrayals and then get mad when they work.
A friend of mine wrote, some years back, about her 85-year-old grandmother who was sort of vaguely homophobic until a nice gay couple moved in and she saw them gardening and they were social and friendly and good neighbors, and then she declared that obviously they were fine, and if God had a problem with them, she would give God a good talking-to.
The confidence of an 85-year-old woman can be an amazing thing to behold from a safe distance.
