On the edge of tears listening to 1984 by George Orwell (this is my first time reading it) and hearing the words “By 2050, earlier, probably, all real knowledge of oldspeak will have disappeared. The whole literature of the past will have been destroyed. Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Byron. They’ll exist only in newspeak versions; not merely changed into something different, but actually changed into something contradictory of what they used to be” whilst living in a world where people are using AI to summarise books into paragraphs to read them.

SCREAMING TBIS IS SO FUNNY

look accessibility can and will be contradictory

I love a high toilet seat bc it means in don't have to put effort in with my legs, but people doing a chair transfer might hate it

an audio transcript at the end of a video might make it annoying for people using a screen reader

loud music for hoh people might make an event inaccessible for people with noise sensitivity

speaking longly and specifically for people who struggle with tone might make your message for people with cognitive disabilities

and the list goes on

but if you never start making your life and content accessible, then you're not helping anyone either. there's not a golden rule of accessibility but if you don't even put in an effort, that's when you become an asshole

no matter what your most embarrassing moment in life is, at least it’s not having fucking chat gpt write fanfic for you bc you’re too lazy to do it yourself

[jetiana]

Not to be dramatic but this is a massive fucking deal and I legitimately hope every single politician dies.

Today is a big day on the Spanish internet. Valentine's day in Spanish is "día de San Valentín", which sounds almost the same as "Sam va lentín", which is how, in some parts of Spain , you would say "Sam goes slowly".

Hence, since a few years ago, every February 14th, the Spanish internet is full of "wait for me mr. Frodo" style memes. One of our holiest days of the year.

scrolling through ao3, once again realising the one fic I want to read is the one I have to write.

some great signs at the ottawa game like "hey Britta, get a filter" and "I would DEI for our Queer Athletes" that TSN isn't showing 'cause they're cowards

Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.
