Local libraries getting rid of physical medias such as newspapers, magazines, cds, dvds, and audiobooks is turning experiencing art into a privilege instead of a right but I don't think you guys are ready for that conversation

#the 95 year old lady who takes the city bus from the old folks home three times a week doesn't have spotify or a smartphone or a computer #how is she going to listen to her johnny cash cds #do you know how many kids I attended school with didn't have internet or wifi???#that wasn't even that long ago #they do not have streaming services stop getting rid of dvds and stop not buying new ones #also there are so many people who have a smart phone and the only thing they know how to do is call or text #if they want to keep using audiobooks let them! It's not killing you that they're not using libby #yes libby and hoopla and kanopy are great but the latter two have limited checkouts and the former usually has long waits #its not fair to expect older people and children learn how to use them if they don't want to or can't!#also magazines are basically unreadable online #so many girls will not be able to experience borrowing american girl magazines from the library because the library doesn't have magazines!#also don't even get me started on no newspapers #sorry I don't have the money for a monthly subscription to a newpaper guess I just won't know the news now #this is why everyone is getting fake news from twitter!#"but everyone has spotify and streaming services and audible and wifi and internet and smartphones and ipads and laptops #newsflash! they don't!#getting rid of physical media from libraries is actually very classist and ageist but people don't want to hear that #I love local libraries and think they are an amazing resource in so many ways #and that's why it hurts so much that they would leave such a large portion of their customers high and dry to maybe save a few bucks #rant #tags so long they probably could've been their own post lol

I just found a way to deckbuild and potentially play online multiplayer with my custom cards. This is awesome

#in summary: cockatrice #it's a free online mtg program where you can just build decks and play them against other players online #and you can upload custom sets :D #magic set editor even has a built-in export option for exporting a cockatrice set #it's a little awkward and i keep needing to reboot cockatrice but it works! i can build and play custom decks!#how well does it work online? no idea #the other player(s) may or may not need to have the custom cards as well. i don't know #but honestly just being able to do this much is incredible already #i can even build sealed decks because MSE has a pack opening simulator that you can export from #gosh i'm getting so into this that i'm considering making super-simple art for the cards to help visually distinguish them #very very nice to be able to identify a card at a glance #just like quick mono-color lineart doodles #i've barely drawn anything in my life but i'm so obsessed with my creation #definitely going to want to finalize the flavor of it before i start making art tho #god i am NOT eager to give proper names to all 180+ cards #making a few proper nouns will help name things better and faster tho #a few major characters and faction names and locations #instead of just “forge spirit” it would be “flameworks spirit” or something #give a touch of flavor and personality to it

when i drop a bunch of drabbles over the next few days no one complain about me spammin their feed because i’m on a writing roll 😤

#i’ve done nothing but write today which compared to how i’ve been feeling over the past few months this is amazing great spectacular #highly rec finding a random generator you can customize and putting characters’ names in it and writing for whoever you get for 30mins #bonus points if you find a smutty prompt generator online and use that to help set the scene / give context #like it’s fun and it’s making me write fast and easily because it’s fun and there’s no pressure #highly highly recommend #+ it’s good to write for different characters once in a while #it keeps things feeling fresh i think #with that said pedro girlies y’all gonna be eating good this week #also possibly (if there are any) john wick girlies and ben solo perhaps??? maybe #and a touch of top gun baddies through in there yep yep #here laur goes again..

well i guess i can play bg3 now, assuming it finishes downloading sometime in the next 2 months

#personal #despite following many people who are very into it i still know absolutely nothing about what it's about #like i know the premise of the brain tadpoles but that's it #i definitely need to do something fun after the last few days of supervising peach #(update: after not eating or sleeping for 3 days she is now doing both! she's very hungry and very tired and im very relieved)#but also after the last 6 hrs of just non-stop downloading and installing things. windows is sooo bad for upgrading #all the dai dlc probably has another 20-30 mins left and then ive finished all the da games and also all my modding tools #i think im actually not bothered even transferring my old saves for the da games. i never go back once ive finished a playthrough #i guess the only thing is if i wanna play da2 before next playing dao and have to use a custom worldstate hm #the only other thing is that dao doesnt connect online anymore so i have no achievements or rewards for completing dlc #it wouldnt be too hard to find my user profile file on my old hard drive but i almost wanna start from scratch and see how long it takes #the thing with that tho is that it's probably the worst (or maybe best lmao) game to have my achievements reset #because it takes a minimum of 6 playthroughs to get all achievements (assuming you finish every game you start)#for da2 it's 3 (reach kirkwall with each class) and for dai it's 1 #but dao has an achievement for each origin and even other than that there are achievements for filling each ability tree #(min 5 playthroughs of the base game or 3 with awakening) and all romances (4) and all endings (3 i think)#anyway. whatever i'll decide later. the only utility of achievements are the dlc ones that unlock items #huh this is a post about bg3 and i spend most of the time talking about da #anyway bg3 currently says 2 hrs remaining but that'll probably speed up once the dai dlc finishes. only have trespasser left #and whatever tf 'english voice over pack' is??

wish i could just. work at a bookstore

#all of the bookstores around here are owned by indigo and they dont take resumes. you have to apply online #and you can only apply for specific positions in specific locations when those positions open #and they are Never open. ive been checking back nearly every day for almost four months now #and it kills me bc i KNOW i would be good at it and i wouldnt mind doing it it might even be nice #like. yes its still min wage and yes its still customer service/retail at its core but at least its smth i fucking like #id be great at giving book recommendations. i like organizing shelves well enough #i practically know the layout of the store like the back of my hand already considering i go there so often and have my whole life #just please let me do smth i care abt even a little bit. please #working at the grocery store is Fine. its objectively fine #i dont enjoy it but everyone is really nice and i know what im doing #but i dont want to do this forever. i dont even want to be doing it now #a man came in the other day talking abt how i could be the manager someday if i keep at it and i genuinely dread that future #i do not want to get stuck here. i cannot get stuck here forever #levi.txt #i got told my whole life that if i just went to university got ok grades and did Any degree id get a decent job and start my life #and i did it! and now im working the exact same job i had before i had any experience or a degree #and im having to consider starting over and getting another fucking degree in the HOPES itll help at all #i keep having to downgrade any hope i have for the future over and over and it is insanely fucking demoralizing #the least i can want rn is a job at a fucking bookstore

not to be a colossal fucking cowabummer about everything but it really does suck that like. my really chill and like. supposedly more realistic type of career goal feels about as unattainable as like a kid saying he wants to be a singer or something

#kazoo noises #like yeah this was supposed to be a job i COULD get. i thought bc like. i was going into the field bc i loved the work and not bc i couldnt #make it into academia (fuck u alt-ac term users yall are snobs) id like maybe be able to cobble it together bc like. im good at doing work.#i can usually make something happen and i got a good attitude. but jesus ive got one year left and every job app comes back negative if the #even bother to respond #like idk man. i knew iwasnt gonna be making money or shit and i knew it was gonna be rough but like. everyone else i meet already has a gig #or at least like gig adjacent. volunteer or field experience or internship and like. i cant get anything to stick. its not like ive done #nothing either? ive worked extensively with small scale exhibition design. i have worked extensively with special collections libraries.#i have literal years worth of research experience from college. i have an entirely customer service based resume thats not academic so i #can handle a patron (and crucially different from my peers: I WANT TO)#i can organize. i can write and design labels. i can communicate. i can handle special collections objects. i can make ANY microfilm reader #work for me even when it doesnt want to #and im not saying my classmates arent qualified. but like. surely this has to amount to something. i have been so stupidly lucky #to have even half the experiences i do. i have variety in my degree that even some of my classmates would kill for i think. i did. so much.#i have had so many advantages and i like to think i use them well and that i am grateful for them. but why cant i make that shit connect???#my resume is good. im reliable. i want to work more than anything. so why cant i get a call back???#legitimately how much longer do i get to keep telling myself i a not the common denominator here #sorry for diary posting but im prepping to walk to the house tour and planning what job apps i can fill out when i get back and literally.#just like. why do i bother. i should have just held my nose and done the online only program in state. i'd probably spend less time rotting #god being 23 fucking sucks. it is going to be better. im literally just barely an adult. this cant be it and it wont be it. but jesus. i go #over having to beg for a rejection letter about ten months ago when i still felt like i had a shot at these experiences

i choose to pretend my trichotillomania is a fun quirk of mine and not a problem bc if it Was a problem how would i explain to my therapist of several years that i just violently and painfully rip out armpit and pubic hair regularly and have for a long long long time and never thought to mention it

#trich #idk how i should tag that idk the customs cuz i never interact w trich content online #how does that work. is it polite to tag it in case some ppl get triggered to pull their own hair when reminded of it #idk. its close enough to SH that i figure its similar online etiquette

the thing with sims 4 is that like. when it WORKS it is actually such a fun game!!! ts2 will always have a special place in my heart because that's the first sims game i played and i met so many great friends through ts2 fan forums, but sims 4 is genuinely so fun. when it works. and when does it work? not often!!!

#there was a huge origin sale so i bought the high school years and growing together eps last night #and my game has been SOOO buggy ever since :(#it was a little buggy before but let's be real. sims 2 was buggy too. sims 2 had full-on CORRUPTION issues lmao #i can handle some bugginess but right now i'm having issues getting my sims to like. eat. i'm cheating to keep them alive lmao #i've read some ppl online saying that deleting their cc beds helped but like??? i love my cc beds #how am i supposed to maintain my bright and colorful game aesthetic without custom content beds #m.txt

If u tell a trans disabled person to call the cops or tell someone else to call the cops abt them u do not care abt that person’s safety

#or any marginalized group but this is in reference to me #thinking abt when a customer pulled a gun on me and i told my bf at the time abt it and rather than ‘omg are u ok’#his immediate response was to get upset w me for not calling the cops after the guy had already left #as if i could do so while he was there either like obviously he had a fucking GUN what was i supposed to do #cops would have done nothing IF I WAS LUCKY + i could have gotten in trouble at work #told my best friend at the time abt it and how my bf had gotten mad and my ‘friend’ was like actually he’s right and ur a horrible person #like it was part of what ended our friendship #neither of them acknowledged or cared that I’d just been thru smth scary. just immediate rage w no apology afterwards #not even a ‘I get that that was probably scary’ like hello?? instead of being relieved I’m safe ur gonna use it for ur cop agenda??#and then say acab online for clout??#also thinking abt when another ex for some fucking reason told her ex that i was having a depressive episode and that she was like stressed #and her ex (who has never met me) was like ‘your bf is abusive and if u don’t call the cops on him I will’#literally bc i had told her that like i was having a hard time and was going to seek help #anyways if ur like ready to jump at an opportunity to Insist on sending cops after a multiply marginalized person #then u cannot use our rights movements or anti cop sentiments to like try to get pussy #and u don’t get to claim it’s for our safety if we’re telling u explicitly cops make us feel unsafe. if the individual wants to then whatev #but if it’s a situation that affects me and not you then my consent matters and it’s a hard no #fucking anyone with education in these areas understands this! i told my psychiatrist abt these instances n why i feel unsafe w cops #and she was like ‘thank u for telling me this so that if there were ever an emergency situation involving you i would know to not do that’#WHAT A CONCEPT #now im scared to tell ppl in my life abt serious things bc i think they’ll say call the cops n then scream at me if I say no #and if I tell them these stories and they’re like ‘omg that’s awful’ LIKE A NORMAL PERSON then im like omg this person is safe <3 LOW BAR #mine #txt #gun tw #personal

i don't hold it against any customer who chooses to buy a book off of Amazon rather than B&N because of pricing or availability but you don't need to tell us that. cause we'll say it's fine 'cause of course it is, it's your money and what works best for you, but most of us are internally like (go fuck yourself) about it BHSDH

Amazon is a fucking monster in the bookselling world. they're destroying the publishing industry. most bookstores hate them ya know, so we don't really wanna hear about it is all

#psy's no punctuation posts #i think especially cause some customers have this utter smugness about choosing amazon bcs they have better prices #ya no shit they're cheaper. they don't sell books for what they're worth and they screw over authors in doing so #like obviously it's fine if you buy from Amazon!! lower prices in this economy are huge but they're a terrible company insofar as the impac #they have on book publishing n bookstores #and it's funny because BARNES AND NOBLE used to be that! but now they're like the underdog #don't get me wrong they're a shitty corporate company like any other but it's so funny how B&N is now the one #fighting for its life against a company that's consuming its competition #B&N has the benefit of being inherently local to any area #because it's run by people who live there. the book choices are often dictated by us. we love those books and we believe in them #vs. an unfeeling algorithm online ya know #anyways i'll get off my soapbox i really don't care i just get annoyed hearing 'i'll use amazon :)' sometimes

Some days I think I probably do need an actually trained service animal for mental health crap + the occasional chronic crap affecting my mobility.

But like…I don’t really want a dog. I want a Highly Trained mainecoon or norwegian forest cat. Just. This very large very fluffy very baseline breed intelligent cat known to take on BEARS (or, home invaders and men attempting SA).

I’d be THAT Crazy Lady walking this giant fluff monster most days, but other days just have my lap full of fluff when my hips-down don’t want to cooperate, or I need the comforting weight and fluffy company to hold the brain static at bay.

And some days…look. It hurts to grasp things. Or I risk dropping things. And cats can and will open cupboards and drawers if the handles let them hook their paws Just So to make up for the lack of opposable thumbs.

(Yeah yeah I know people are more accustomed to training dogs for this, but I’ve had quite a bit of luck training my “just housecats” as adults with various things, and people post the adventures they take with their mainecoons like, all the time…so think of what I could do with socializing and training a cat if I had the chance to do so.

(…also I just get along better with cats than dogs. They’re more tolerant to my need to not have a true routine. Also they poop in a box.)

#tiger’s musings #yesterday was…ugh. think my body was fighting off a minor respiratory illness #bUT because I’m also chronically ill + have to take an immunosuppresent it…was not good #like I kinda freaked my online friends out with what my symptoms were #but…I’m just. so used to this. so used to just holding onto walls because I get so unsteady and trying to sleep through these episodes #it’s…definitely Something. not ‘jUST psYCHoSOmATiC’ like I got gaslit into believing 5+ years ago #but…with what turned out to be AS and Probably a CTD and Currently Assumed IBS (but prolly also CTD imo)#I…hadn’t really had a chance to do more than ‘okay so I also have tremors’#but hey. I have to have my annual pcp visit so I’ll make myself whine about it and the fluttery/tight/visible chest&pulse issues then #(they’re probably related. POTS…kinda can cause high bp/tachicardia and sometimes tremors too.)#(and like. high bp is kinda something so common in my family in young adulthood it’s a ‘when’ vs ‘if’)#so…yeah. sometimes I think I might need some sort of chair and service animal #in addition to custom fitted compression globes #and probably compression shorts and spats and sleeves on my knees and elbows #aaaaand prolly custom arch supports. in addition to Nicer Shoes than an Okay $50 newbalance pair #which…yeah. you can see how all this would get Very Expensive Very Fast #(aaaaaaaand… hope I don’t idk. get dropped from my medicaid? listen they’re sending me automated messages to get my risk assessment done)#(and I’ve got so much going on that I would be Screwed even if I hadn’t aged out of my dad’s insurance)#(it definitely affects me being able to work and keep a job)

I tried to build Justin's house/farm in the Sims last night and I regret to announce its mental image in my head breaks the laws of physics and therefore it cannot be visualized

#Look. I just want the outside walls of both floors to be precisely on top of each other even though the downstairs hallway #and landing upstairs are right on top of each other #yet the rooms attached to them are deeper on the ground floor than on the first floor #also the entry downstairs is as deep as the bedroom right beside it which is also about three times as deep as the entry hope that helps #and the basic shape of the house is one large rectangle on both floors even though the backside of the house on the top floors has nothing #there and is practically unreachable #could I fix this by looking up some floorplans online and revising my idea? Yes. Do I want to? Ehhhhhh #I also have this problem with the camper they use to get around throughout parts 2 and 3 because I keep forgetting that Brenda and Chuck #excluded no one in this story is nearly as small as I am so I keep underestimating how much space they'll need #Technically I took care of it by putting little narrow bunks over the twin bed in the back of the camper and adding in an extra backseat #(making the camper quite long but fine)#and it already had convertible driver's and passenger's seats plus one of those foldable sleeping areas up top #but this is a recurring problem #I'm gonna build the WCKD facilities from part 4 after I solve the farm problem that's gonna be fun #I would love to build the house they all live in after everything's over but it relies on attic space and custom-design beds which the sims #is simply not capable of doing justice to #so. I guess I'll practice some drawing skills though I don't think that's a project I'll finish in the near future
