why did i see this and think it was one of the witches from Madoka Magica

It’s my birthday today, and the start of National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month in the States.

Please do something nice for me by supporting people in your communities, uplifting Disabled voices, and enjoying some local theatre. Whatever you do, remember that you must be Aware of me. Thank you.

i enjoyed that game! i hope you do too

i know i'm hardly on here, but i just want to say that I will probably be even more Not On Here for the foreseeable future. health problems suck; having a body is a scam.

happy holidays, take care of each other, make your things accessible, and come get me when i can be a jellyfish or something

Someone asked me if I've ever used ChatGPT to write, so I wrote some prose about it. Content warning: discussion of death, suicide.

that’s my babygirl, your honor

i am not accepting feedback at this time, thank you

Free horror film idea:

A developer named Fred, who may or may not also be a murderer, meets his greatest opponent yet: wrangling thousands of lines of API data on a tight deadline.

Freddy vs. JSON

jumping in to say i agree w/ all of your takes tbh. i’m a sucker for strong character writing, and the character writing in this remake generally makes everything else with it, but all the rest is getting on my nerves lol

this is not the point but: "mediocre in government"

lol

👀

come to think about it, i do not know a SINGLE chronically ill person who is also cis-het. makes u think

hey. chronic illness and chronic pain <expletive> suck. shout out to all my chronically ill baddies. we are here. we are (possibly) queer. our joint pain is moderate to severe.

To be clear: Use this directory!

Today is a great day to unionize

Two 100% unrelated things for your consideration:
- People keep telling me that so-called AI will help us make the web accessible.
- We once had "ugly laws" in the U.S. because non-Disabled people couldn't bear to look at or speak to or even think about the Disabled people in their communities.

what the absolute fucking fuck

you say that, and yet here we are talking about what you have done

(I love you, never change)

oh my god

i feel you. like i am all in favor of depictions of pregnant trans men (and actual pregnant trans men ofc) but that is not what this trope or the meme in the zeitgeist is about. its unsettling.

*still haven’t forgiven

love to drop a verb lol

This does not compare at all to gross art based on real people, but I still haven’t Guillermo del Toro for including mpreg as a “joke” right at the end of the Tales of Arcadia animated series, which up until that point I thought was both excellent and great for kids

i would think twice about blocking bots if they appealed to my ego first.

i’d still do it, but i’d think twice.

eric are you ok

is she enjoying French Paper Mario

Link to text version of the poem, since the alt text is kind of clunky: www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/89897/...

Good Bones: Life is short, though I keep this from my children. Life is short, and I've shortened mine in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways, a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways I'll keep from my children. The world is at least fifty percent terrible, and that's a conservative estimate, though I keep this from my children. For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird. For every loved child, a child broken, bagged, sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world is at least half terrible, and for every kind stranger, there is one who would break you, though I keep this from my children. I am trying to sell them the world. Any decent realtor, walking you through a real shithole, chirps on about good bones: This place could be beautiful, right? You could make this place beautiful.

Been thinking about this poem by Maggie Smith lately.

"This place could be beautiful,
right? You could make this place beautiful."

saw Figma’s new product today and thought, “this is everything i expected it would be and less”

what kind of pie

I just finished Act I and had to go for a walk.

Probably my favorite JRPG in years though. Or J’RPG I guess.
