#I'm not allowed to go to the library

[kerosene-saint]

I love getting emails and announcements from teachers about new rules being put into my school that are very clearly ableist and not being told if I will be an exception to these ableist rules or if I'll have to keep forcing myself into smaller and smaller boxes to be a "better disabled person" by fitting into ableist one size fits all rules.

my 'hey yes we have an all-consuming brainrot going but let's try and do something actually productive this week that I'm having off of work' project is sorting through my bookshelves, rigorously throwing things out (little miss I own over a thousand books in my one-room apartment is reaching the breaking point aka I'm finally and utterly running out of space) and i think i threw out almost a hundred books today and it's still not anywhere close for sorting shelves by genre without having to stack and put things second row. how am I supposed to live like this

were there any pre canon concepts for adrien's/felix's room? i hate the canon one so much the layout confuses me

Afraid not. I think the closest we have is the information that Felix/ Adrian's family owned a hotel (this is before he was made into the villain's son.) A lot of early and even current ladybug is pretty focused around Marinette. Nathan-Felix-Adrien as a character is shockingly inconsequential to the narrative as a whole. (Which is probably why he was so easily edited throughout development whereas Marinette stayed pretty consistent.... And is also apparently still the case from what I've heard of the recent season.)

You can actually really see a lot of the inspiration that it transferred to the agreste mansion... But it also lost a lot of style and flair. Richard had a lot of art deco inspiration in the buildings associated with his character. And you can kind of see that in the hotel piece here. It's all connected, at least I believe it is.

It makes sense that the current one is frustrating. It's a mix between " oh this is what a fabulously wealthy teen boy would like" being full of video games and literal arcade machines, but still having like no personality? Like it's big. Because Adrian is rich. And it's like... Largely undecorated because Gabriel is like a minimalist or whatever... Except for all of the stuff that Adrian has because he's rich. And that's literally the end of it.

Edit: If I were to fathom a... A room that does line up with that hotel era then I would do something like this, except with more whites and golds rather than blue... Or just tailor it to however the cat's relationship to his father is.

maybe the changes I have felt aren't evil. maybe it's okay that I don't love the things I used to. I am doing other things, old and new. change isn't the end of the world. it isn't the end of me.

GHHHHHHH THERE'S NOW AN AMTGARD CHAPTER IN MY CITY. I HAVE A FEELING I AM GOING TO BE VERY AUTISTIC ABOUT THIS IN THE COMING MONTHS

something something manage expectations something something small town library something something volunteers should not be entrusted with even half the shit they cover here when they by definition have no professional stake in the library and are not held to professional standards

First day back in the office since 2023.

Shoutout to my cat Fiona for making sure I still got my yoga and 10 burpees in in the morning by continuing to come into my bedroom and Scream at 4:50am.

(Genuinely, this was helpful. Really appreciate that little soot cloud.)

A Caffine Problem

The problem was Iris had asked Barry if he wanted to get coffee some time and Green Lantern had asked the Flash if he wanted to get coffee some time and Ralph wouldn't even let Barry have one cup while he tried to work out how he was going to deal with this situation he'd got himself into (T, 1457 words)*

[Barry Allen, Iris West, Hal Jordan], Ralph Dibny

*mentions of alcohol at the beginning, but just a scene that takes place in a bar, no misuse or anything like that

For @polyamships Multiamory March Day 30- Pining

"I have got a problem," Barry declared as he plopped into the seat Ralph had saved for him.

Ralph passed him the drink he'd already bought and Barry- sitting there in his bowtie, suspenders, and presumably forgotten safety glasses still perched on the top of his head, downed the entire bottle of beer in three seconds flat, much to the poorly hidden shock of the bartender.

"Shoot," Ralph said to Barry. He waved the bartender over. "Is this a two beer or three beer problem?"

"This," Barry said, "is a caffeine problem."

"It is definitely not," Ralph said.

My mom woke me up at 2am to say "I just want to let you know that I'm not crazy, but I am the bride of Christ and he needs you to take him more seriously." and no one is hiring me, so I can't afford to move out of this wackass fucking house!!! Bro I hate it here!!!

IMG ID: a tweet from "Fresh Boyardee" saying "90s was kinda ass... .imagine being stuck in the house with no internet? Yuck" and a reply from "Tana Claus" saying "They had to put a commercial on tv that said 'it's 10pm. Do you know where your kids are?' for our parents to remember we existed. We were not stuck in the house" END ID

Y'all I did NOT know this about Harris, and I think it's really critical that we all listen and understand as we approach this election. Video at the end.

This creator's video describes how progressive Harris was as a prosecutor -- actively going against the grain to the point she was accused of being soft on crime. Accused of being a social worker, not a prosecutor. She calls it being smart on crime. She's pushing for systemic changes to give real pathways to reintegrate incarcerated folks back into society and prevent their past from continuing to haunt them moving forward.

"Kamala's a cop" is a catchy dismissive response usually used to shut down conversation rather than add nuance. But this kind of reform is ESSENTIAL to work towards a present and future that treats incarcerated people with value.

I fell for it in 2020 and have thought "Kamala's a cop" without further inspection since - and I'm sobered by the realization that (you guessed it!) I'm not immune to propaganda.

A better system only follows liberal democracy, because library democracy allows for exploration of better systems. If authoritarianism takes hold, it will not allow for the exploration of better systems. We will have to fight tooth and nail just to try to get back to liberal democracy, and I suspect we could not achieve it in our lifetimes.

Harris isn't perfect. But she's a hell of a lot better than many leftists have led me to believe. Don't let perfection be the enemy of good. Don't let perfection be the enemy of harm reduction.

We can either help elect Trump and usher in authoritarian fascism, or we can help defeat him and pull things back in the direction we want to go. Not liking the choices doesn't absolve you from participating and doing the most good you can with the options available.

I'll link the original video in the replies. The original video has captions if you need them.
