I'm thinking about my definition of a game now. My definition of art is just to say that it's the part of the medium which exclusively holds aesthetic value. A beautiful doorknob is art when perceived for its beauty & not art when you don't care and just use it to open a door. A game could be "interactive art" but that's too broad, I think a game might be the part of an activity that is arbitrarily determined to be intrinsically motivating, not even necessarily because you can win or lose. So traffic isn't a game, because it has a non-aesthetic function, until you start driving in a manner that fulfills an arbitrary self-motivating function in lieu of the practical one. It follows that a video game is a game with video components.

Gone Home is a video game because you're aesthetically motivated to explore the house, even if you can't really win or lose. At the far edges, an online quiz is a video game. I'm not sure if Tumblr is a video game, because it feels like it has primarily non-aesthetic uses, but is a game not a game just because you use it to get something like personal connection and socialization? idk.

I like this genre of 2000s visual novel cg image where the image itself is innocent but because of how the aesthetic of yandere developed since then your brain picks up a weird vibe and they’re kinda creepy

I don’t like being referred to as a boy

disability advocacy went wrong when it became about inspiration porn and “differently abled” and savants. its incredible that that guy with no legs did a triathlon but your sister with no legs will not and she doesnt need prosthetics or five hour training days to deserve respect and compassion and accommodations. its incredible that that autistic guy can look at a city from a helicopter for an hour and then draw the entire detailed skyline from memory when he lands but your autistic friend cannot and they dont need to have a special Autism Power to deserve respect and compassion and accommodations. 

activism framed around “we are just as CAPABLE” means that when people genuinely are less capable they are left behind. activism framed around “we are just as WORTHY” is fundamental to radical compassion.

for those not in the know, new york, infamous for its traffic, introduced congestion pricing.

this is a $9 toll for cars entering parts of the city. this of course was met with carcels loudly complaining that it would ruin the economy, but the opposite happened:

Subway usage up 11%!

# of reported crimes down by 36%*! (*data from nypd, who have a history of lying about crime data. number is most likely much higher)

car crash related injuries fell 51%!

car honking complaints down 67%!

broadway attendance up by 21%! restaurant reservations up 7%!

fuck yeag public transit!

(disabled ppl are exempt from congestion pricing ❤️)

"Why is it always the short feminine one ppl headcanon as a trans boy" ok I get it but like I'm short... and feminine... and perhaps many other trans men are and simply relate to short feminine guys. Is it so wrong. Especially the short part. I'm not getting any taller buddy

Shows don't have a monster of the week anymore. That's what's wrong with society. I wanna see a whole new type of freak EVERY SINGLE WEEK.

making art sites that don't allow NSFW is useless to me. not even to get my rocks off, i mean at this point not allowing NSFW ends up being a nightmare of random queers getting banned because the guidelines are too ill-defined and art that presents the human body, especially femme and trans, will just get obliterated for no reason despite not being sexual.
