i think the worst part is that this was entirely, completely, 100% avoidable (and technically still is)

the Republicans are very obviously "the villains" and willing to do anything and everything to get and keep power (lie, cheat, steal, kill, etc)

but the Dem's seem to think that they are the heroes of some 80s cartoon and insist on not even dipping their toes into any remotely gray area

they need to get their heads out of their asses and back into reality. real ppl are having their lives ruined, getting hurt, and even killed bc of this "moral superiority"

the US supreme court ruled that the President has immunity, so biden needs to grow a fucking pair of balls and use that free pass to get rid of Trump once and for all. throw him, vance, all the other maga leaders, the corrupt supreme court justices, fox news (and anyone else actively spreading harmful misinformation), and elon musk too in some black site somewhere where they cant keep threatening the safety of the entire world.

and as for anyone who couldn't bring themselves to vote for kamala Harris simply bc shes a woman - i hope you all get syphilis

Ich bin ja jetzt offiziell arbeitslos, alsp schickt mir die Agentur für Arbeit Vermittlungsvorschläge (20 Minuten nach meinem Termin, in dem ich gesgat habe ich habe 3 Vorstellungsgespräche diese und nächste Woche), in einer Branche in der ich nicht mehr arbeiten werde. Also wollte ich mir die Rechtsfolgebelehrung angucken. Except.

In der online form steht da nur den Bescheid krieg ich postalisch. Wow. Danke. So viele Infos.

the person who helped today when I fell out of my wheelchair actually did a really great job, so I want to share in case other people wonder what to do. [Note: this is not universal, this is merely a suggestion from one person, every wheelchair user's needs are different! I am a person who uses a manual chair usually pushed by someone else who is also disabled.]

Scenario: you see someone in a wheelchair fall out of their chair, and you have the ability to help.

1. Approach and ask "are you okay?"*

2. Next question if they say no, are vague, or open to continuing conversation** is, "is there anything I can do to help?" Or "what can I do?"

If they say no to help, then that's the end, just leave and go do whatever you were doing!

If they ask for help or say they are mildly injured, ask "what would you like me to do?" And wait for an answer before doing anything! If they seem dazed or confused, they might have hit their head or had another medical event*, or they might just be like that due to regular disability. Be patient.

Do not touch the person unless they say to, or they are like, unconcious in the middle of the road, ya know?? Wheelchair users usually have conditions that mean being handled improperly can severely injure us, you could cause much more damage than the fall.

Some things they might need you to do:

Bring their wheelchair closer (mine went about 5 feet away after it dumped me)

engage the brakes of the wheelchair

hold wheelchair steady if it's an unsteady surface (mud, hill, ramp, wet, etc)

offer an arm for them to hold onto to get up (them grabbing you, not you grabbing them) or move another solid item closer for them to use (i.e. a chair) [only do this if you physically have the ability to!]

If the terrain is rough (i.e. a parking lot), they *might* ask you to push their chair to a more stable area once they are back in their chair

nothing

Something else

Do what they ask, NOT what you think would be helpful. If for some reason you have to do something (i.e. you can't stop oncoming traffic and need to get them out) ASAP, tell them what you plan to do

Keep in mind they might also be D/deaf, have a communication disability, be stunned after the fall, have a head injury, not trust other people, etc. Be patient and treat them as a person with autonomy and agency! They might need to just sit on the ground for a few minutes to recover before trying to get back in their chair. They might want everyone to leave them alone. They might ask you to call someone specific. Their chair might have broken and that can be extremely distressing. All of this is like if your legs spontaneously stop working when you're out and about!

A lot of wheelchair users (NOT ALL) have ways to get into their chair on their own once the chair is close enough and brakes engaged (but it's hard from the ground!). Here's what brakes look like on a lot of manual wheelchairs, in case they ask you to lock the brakes. They're levers on each side and pushing the lever pushes a bar against the wheel to hold it still.

ID: A manual wheelchair with the brake levels circled in red and labeled "user brake levers"

*There is also the possibility of course that a person fell out of their chair due to a seizure or other medical event, so that is why it is important to ask if they are okay. If you saw them hit their head, tell them so. If they had a medical event, follow protocol for that, I'm not gonna get into it here (thought I could).

**sometimes a person will be clear after the first question i.e. "I'm all good thanks" clearly means they do not need you to ask another question, you can just leave them alone. Keep walking and don't stare. A lot of the time people will be a bit banged up but be totally fine and able to manage on their own.

TLDR: Ask the wheelchair user if they're okay, then what they need, and then do exactly that, including leaving them alone. Thanks!

mmm throwaway conversation between Dan and Danny that popped into my head that I had to write out:

"You spent ten years being a one-man mass extinction event, then went back in time and fought me, and lost." Danny snarls, arms crossed and throat tight. His mouth pulls back to bare dagger-sharp teeth, and his eyes burn with the familiar thrum of ectoplasm heating up behind his eyes. "If I didn't believe you were half of Vlad before, I do now."

His other self -- and really, can he even call him that? He's half of Vlad too. Two halves severed from each other and welded together to make a new whole, -- snaps his head over to him. Wild-eyed and furious, he looks unlike the man Danny fought before, the one unruffled and untouched, unbothered by the world around him. It's familiar, but not like the way a reflection is.

"What's that supposed to mean." The Other hisses, matching Danny's scowl one-for-one with fangs much bigger and sharper than his.

But there's a reason lions fear hyenas. Danny matches the rumble in The Other's chest with one of his own, and shoves his face close to his. "I don't lose."

Here's a big old Fire Emblem Search & Find I did for the FE3H Masquerade Zine! Find the Golden Deer, but see if you can't find the rest of the students as well! For the ultimate challenge, see if you can't name every character! (Disclaimer two characters are NPCs with no names)

YO! Being a drawing, what’s there to be afraid of!

[wzardjellies]

all stars writers if they actually experimented even a bit with the character dynamics literally right in front of them

[princecroutons]

ive turned off the ability to message this account

please stop sending me suggestions on how to help croutons. I understand they're genuine but you are not my vet. you are not a trusted individual in my close circle who I go to seek advice. you are a stranger on the internet and you and the last 10 people who've dmed me have all, without reading any other post or comment made already, suggested I just start feeding him wet food.

Croutons does not like wet food.

Period.

I'm doing my best with what I have, and what I have is a very picky cat who thankfully likes his urinary health food and treats. Is it dry food? Yeah. But it's all I can do right now.

Don't suggest broth. Don't suggest any canned juice. Don't... suggest anything unless I specifically ask PLEASE

"what radicalized you?" being told "that's just the way the world is." because daring to believe that change could happen was brushed off so easily. i think the passive mindset people have about everything upset me the most. it didn't just apply to friends who refused to take sides or have opinions when you wete upset with someone, or people always playing devil's advocate when you were upset and invalidating why YOU are upset. it applied to people who saw that we were killing people under the guise of religion when it was always about wanting the land, the money, the benefits of somebody's death. it applied to the fact that the world is dying and we have every opportunity to start making changes but everyone says "that's just the way the world is." and it's not. it's the way YOU are. you have refused to change and grow and take a stance and you will drag everyone down with you

Do not let the Protestant Work Ethic Beast in your head win!

You are not alone! You are not the sole difference between death and life! You are a person who will at some point need to take a break!

That is why there is community! That is why there is organizing! Do not despair because you, alone, are not currently boots on the ground fixing things! Do something, but do not let that something be collapsing!

I know we all want an og monster hunting trio revival in s5 but consider the following instead:

It's giving The boys are back in town, the boys of summer, The boys are back. A little mansplain, manipulate, malewife. Very much introducing your new bestie to the one that got away and them hitting it off.

Sskk and skk comparisons could make me kill myself

They aren't SUPPOSED to be the same, and one will be more in depth. You know why? BECAUSE WE'RE WATCHING SSKKS RELATIONSHIP PROGRESS AS BUNGOU STRAY DOGS PROGRESSES. skk already has their fleshed out moments and symbolism, sskk ALSO has their fleshed out moments and symbolism. And sskk are going to have plenty more of them as the story progresses.

Not trying to understand or dig deeper than just surface level information of two characters' relationship ≠ the characters' relationship is bland and not as well told as another one

Skk have a lot of content and symbolism, but that doesn't mean that sskk is lesser than because they don't have as much YET. if that makes sense.
