dishes are forever
#I MISSED HAVING A TABLET!!!!#ht papyrus#a gentle touch when you're sad#a menacing touch when it would be funny#he can do it all#LITTLE PRO TIP LIFE HACK THOUGH: IF WASHING DISHES MAKES YOU WANT TO LIVE ON A DIFFERENT PLANET#MAYBE YOU HAVE TOO MANY DANG DISHES#BEING IN A SITUATION WHERE I HAVE 80% FEWER DISHES THAN BEFORE MEANS I DO DISHES MORE OFTEN BUT IT'S SO EASY#AND NOT SOUL SUCKING AT ALL#JUST MY EXPERIENCE!!!!!! THAT'S ALL#I'm sure when i am reunited with my other dishes i will languish in bed staring at this psyching myself up to the task#but i like keeping random jars from food i bought and dishes that i picked up in different places.#they physically remind me of everywhere I've been and sometimes i just look at them and remember where I've been#my favorite is the old ratatouille jar i bought at carrefour in Chengdu#that jarred ratatouille was the nastiest food to grace this earth#i bought it in case it would make a quick easy meal (you don't really find those at the grocery store in China at least not back then)#but even my cheap lazy self couldn't eat it#so no one ever consumed that ratatouille but the jar was pretty big so i put other stuff in it and now it's my dish#and somehow the label is glued on PERMANENTLY it has never washed off after all these years#actually idk maybe it eventually did it isn't here for me to look at but it lasted a long time i know that

I made the mistake of scrolling around on tumblr KNOWING I follow people who post about the new episodes soon after they come out and lemme just say.
#putting my prediction in the tags to hide them from people who also haven’t seen the whole episode yet in case I’m right#just gotta drown it out first so all the Dndads tags are after this I really wanna make sure it’s all hidden gjdhdjg#dndads#dungeons and daddies#dndads spoilers#dndads season 2#dungeons and daddies season 2#I have seen not one but TWO PEOPLE posting about Rebecca and one of them included me and my husband and the other said they were grieving#i may be worried about the wrong person here but as an oak family enjoyer#who has said VERY RECENTLY that I am going to commit hand to hand combat with Anthony Burch if he kills One of the twins#I’m terrified Sparrow Specifically is about to kick the bucket and I’m going to have to go about my day like nothing happened#MY BEAUTIFUL BOY!!#I stand by that he might have a homunculus/his real body is in Oakvale#you can not go missing in Oakvale and tell me it’s o-a-Kay it’s fucking OAKVALE#edit: it was worse than expected ;0;

got tagged in this game by @samglyph like a week ago but i'm only getting to it now. sorry about that! thanks for tagging me :)
Rules: Make a poll of your favorite female characters (no limits - as many or as little as you want) and see which your followers like the most!
limited myself to one lady per thing. i think it's pretty clear that i generally have a type for which girls are my favorite (silly and/or evil)
iiiiiiiiiii can't remember who i tagged the last time i did one of these so let's try @venus-is-thinking @1moreff-creator @thebadjoe @a-star-that-burns-brightly @gleamingtempest and @sapphireroses282 . for any of those people feel free to not do it if you don't want to, and for anyone who i didn't manage to tag feel free to do it if you want to! i'd love to see it :)
#veronika grebenshchikova#fiore disventure camp#mahiru shiina#emu otori#franziska von karma#maki harukawa#rei mekaru#yoruko kabuya#susie deltarune#monika ddlc#himiko toga#power chainsaw man#in case anyone was wondering who barely didn't make it.......#it was pretty close between Power and Makima but while i think Makima is probably “better” i like Power more so i went with her#had romantic killer on the brain so i considered Anzu but i don't think i love her as much as the others#FUCK i also forgot about oshi no ko. Kana should have been up for consideration as well#AUGHHHHHH I FORGOT SxF ANYA AS WELL. IM IN SHAMBLES SHE *SHOULD* BE THERE I MEANT TO PUT HERE THERE#i love Epithet Erased and Molly but considering that i like Giovanni and Sylvie as a top 2 much more than her it felt unfair#miss Nicole 09 is also great but she is almost a bit TOO fucked up for my standards and i haven't finished watching flipside so i'm afraid#and i wanted to include a P:EG option but i don't think there's been enough content yet to warrant it. probably would've been Grace tho?#also shut up (/j) about four of them being danganronpa. i just consume a lot of danganronpa okay they're always in my mind#be grateful that i didn't pick four girls for all four canon games#not that i think anyone would but no csm spoilers please! i'm an anime only

Luffy and Usopp are such idiots.
I get that they love the Going Merry, I do too, but it's no reason to kill each other.
#I hate them I hate them I hate them#why are they so stupid#AND TGE FLASHBACKS#I can't handle the flashbacks#it feels like the whole group is falling apart#I know they won't but robin's missing and sanji was blaming zoro and usopp and luffy are fighting and the merry is going to be left behind#and it's such a helpless situation#I know they won't die but#it feels wrong for them to be fighting#especially with the willingness to seriously harm and even kill each other#I have a ton of spoiler for one piece (I have no impulse control)#but I didn't know this was going to happen#I don't want them to fight :(#they're supposed to be friends#one piece#one piece spoilers#not sure if this one's needed but I'm going to put it here just in case

// Just a reminder that I’m well aware of how many people are uncomfortable with the orokabu ship. But as I mentioned in my blog that I am open to many ships as long as said characters are not children or underaged.
I promised to tag it whenever it is mentioned and stuff and you are free to blacklist it. Since I know that people love to rp with me but have an issue with the ship.
You are free to dislike it and just blacklist the tag, but I do not want to be bullied or shamed for my free will to ship Kabuto with whoever I want them to be shipped with.
#missing glasses#orokabu#it's true#I love my threads and my ships#so I tag them accordingly#also#they are a longtime friend of mine#and#I also ship kakashi with kabuto who is 7 years older than them#and I don't mind any other ships#just as long as they are not as old as the third hokage or danzo#>_>#not that it has happened to me#but I'm putting this here just in case

oh yea i forgot to tell my tumblr girlies that i finished rod's route today which means i'm officially done with playing lisa for now ! i dont really feel like doing joyed route variants [too much branching for me. also i beat hardest rider on pain mode first try so it would be. so easy] and i got all 5 joyless endings so that's satisfying enough for me :]
#i missed some items here and there in my playthroughs but thats alright <3#my goal was all joyless endings and i didnt rly have anything planned after that#i still have my sportsdome pre route save in case i wanna do any of the joyed route variants#also the legendary 50 jerky save in case i wanna try fighting hard rider with cyclops#maybe not now since i have some other games i wanna try but who knows !!#overall. absolutely INCREDIBLE game im so impressed with how much content they stuffed in a free rpgmaker fangame#the difficulty level is just right to give you a challenge and not keep you bored while still being very manageable-#-even without the best items. pain mode is a bit more of a challenge#but once you get a hang of it and manage your party well it becomes really really fun !!!#cant say thats the case for the regular pain mode routes but rods route was incredibly fun#overall i had SO MUCH fun with this game i am so so excited to start the painful when i get it for my bday#AND the joyful as well !!#also i saw that theres a mod putting rods gang in the joyful instead of buddy and when i finish the joyful i REALLY need to try it#overall. good gaem. 11/10. one of the best ones ive played

neocities guide - why you should build your own html website
do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again? try neocities!!
what is neocities?
neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words: "we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."
why should I make my own website?
web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!! building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.
what would I even put on a website?
the best part about making your own site is that you can do literally whatever the hell you want! focus on a specific subject or make it a wild collection of all your interests. share your art! make a shrine for one of your interests! post a picture of every bird you see when you step outside! make a collection of your favorite blinkies! the world is your oyster !! here are some cool example sites to inspire you: recently updated neocities sites | it can be fun to just look through these and browse people's content! space bar | local interstellar dive bar creature feature | halloween & monsters big gulp supreme peanutbuttaz | personal site dragodiluna linwood | personal site patho grove | personal site
getting started: neocities/html guide
sound interesting? here are some guides to help you get started, especially if you aren't familiar with html/css sadgrl.online webmastery | a fantastic resource for getting started with html & web revival. also has a layout builder that you can use to start with in case starting from scratch is too intimidating web design in 4 minutes | good for learning coding basics w3schools | html tutorials templaterr | demo & html for basic web elements eggramen test pages | css page templates to get started with sadgrl background tiles | bg tiles rivendell background tiles | more free bg tiles
fun stuff to add to your site
want your site to be cool? here's some fun stuff that i've found blinkies-cafe | fantastic blinkie maker! (run by @transbro & @graphics-cafe) gificities | internet archive of 90s/00s web gifs internet bumper stickers | web bumper stickers momg | gif gallery 99 gif shop | 3d gifs 123 guestbook | add a guestbook for people to leave messages cbox | add a live chat box moon phases | track the phases of the moon gifypet | a little clickable page pet adopt a shroom | mushroom page pet tamaNOTchi | virtual pet crossword puzzle | daily crossword imood | track your mood neko | cute cat that chases your mouse pollcode | custom poll maker website hit counter | track how many visitors you have
web revival manifestos & communities
also, there's actually a pretty cool community of people out there who want to bring joy back to the web! melonland project | web project/community celebrating individual & joyful online experiences. Also has an online forum melonland intro to web revival | what is web revival? melonking manifesto | status cafe | share your current status nightfall city | online community onio.cafe | leave a message and enjoy the ambiance sadgrl internet manifesto | yesterweb internet manifesto | sadly defunct, still a great resource reclaiming online social spaces | great manifesto on cultivating your online experience
in conclusion
i want everyone to make a neocities site because it's fun af and i love seeing everyone's weird personal sites that they made outside of the control of capitalism :) say hi to me on neocities
#neocities#old web#webcore#old internet#web revival#indie web#html#website#recource#guide#can you tell that i've gotten REALLY into neocities this month!!!!!#but its so FUN i love seeing everyones weird af websites#its amazing#i love celebrating the old web#ANYWAYS MAKE A NEOCITIES HERES A GUIDE#i haven't touched html in like a decade#and i've been having a great time relearning#:)#share your sites with me!!!!!!#oh and share resources if you have them!

I've said it before and I'll say it again:
If you are disabled and you need to lie to get the accommodations you need or to escape ableist social harassment, then it is not just morally acceptable to lie in that scenario, it is morally GOOD.
I say this with no irony or satire whatsoever (unlike the original post, which is very much meant to be sarcastic).
Abled people are always trying to be the "hero" who finds the "fakers," as though "fakers" are actually a concern for disabled people. - When instead I don't know a single disabled person who hasn't been denied the care they need by being called a faker on multiple occasions. That's what we ACTUALLY live in fear of.
(Also, notably, finding the "faker" is not actually about protecting disabled people for these self-appointed "heroes". It's actually about finding an ego-boosting outlet for personal aggression and frustration. They don't care that the government has the funding to care for all of us and yet refuses. They just want to pretend this isn't about them, and are using other disabled people as a moral shield.)
Besides, every person I've met who is actually LYING about their disability has done so not because they are faking being disabled (for all the AWESOME benefits that DEFINITELY exist - ????), but because their ACTUAL disability is not taken seriously by the gatekeepers who can deny them the help they need.
Lying in this scenario protects a disabled person from stigma, injury, pain, death, and/or social neglect. This is a moral good. Lying to protect people from abuse is good, yourself included.
You shouldn't get a wheelchair, walker, cane, shower chair, or any kind of assistive technology mobility aid because then you might become dependent on them. Just like how you also shouldn't get glasses if you have bad eyesight because then you might become dependent on those.
For instance, if you end up stuck using corrective eyewear, you could actually lose your ability to tell what things are even when they are extremely blurry! You need to get used to having migraines from seeing unclearly because if you wear glasses all the time, you are basically giving up!! You don't need to see things coming at you from far away! You just need to get good at dodging, and if you can't, then you have no one to blame but yourself!!
For example, I read a really heart-worming article recently about a girl who was stuck using glasses - just absolutely, tragically trapped in her eyewear from dawn to dusk, even though she was good and never ever complained; and I heard she trained herself to discern the blurry faces of her loved ones with 60% accuracy! - she was even able to walk down the aisle at her wedding WITHOUT forcing the discomfort of seeing a woman in glasses on all her guests!!
Sure, she had to give her vows with a splitting headache, and she couldn't see her husband's expression when he said "I do," but overall, SO inspi-ration-al!!! So up-lifting!!
(She didn't even have to use a seeing eye cane, which would have been the worst-case scenario, obviously, because she worked hard to make sure she looked LESS disabled, not MORE disabled!!! Everyone knows blind people exist solely to be a cautionary tale to sighted people!!)
Also, did you know some people get glasses when they only need them a little bit?? How selfish of them! Sure, there's not a shortage, and an increase in demand would result in overall increased accessibility to glasses--but emotionally it's like taking glasses away from someone who needs them more! After all, if everyone who needed glasses got them, then...... um...... more people would have glasses! Which is probably bad!!!!
I also had a friend who was trapped in glasses who saved up all her money for laser eye surgery, and I don't know why everyone doesn't just do that! Sure, some doctors say some people don't "qualify" and it "won't help" those people, but that's why you can't give up!! You don't want to be one of those people!
After all, what's the worse thing that could happen with an unnecessary laser surgery to the face that comes with crippling debt??? It's worth the risk to gain your FREEDOM back, and I'm so proud of my friend!!
Tragically, she did die later that year while driving Uber and squinting at street signs, but at least now I know my friend is finally free from the shackles of her terrible eyesight. #ripAshley #rippedAshley #justripit 😌😌😌❤😇😇😇
And that's why you shouldn't get used to using a mobility aid!! Because, like glasses, they are inherently embarrassing to be seen with; and - like glasses - it is more noble to silently suffer than to depend on unnatural technologies that force you to rely on them!!! (Besides, everyone else will be SO much more comfortable if you look normal!)
I hope you learned something today. 💖
#original#disability#ref#might just make a separate post about this but here you go#autistic meltdowns can cause me serious nerve damage and trauma and if i have enough of them in close enough succession... death#but people don't understand that. they think it is a child's tantrum most of the time.#so i call them seizures. because functionally that's what they are. and as long as i can communicate well enough to make sure#no dumbass tries to shove a wallet in my mouth - which DOES NOT HELP SEIZURES in any case btw - then i say it's a seizure#people are nicer and more helpful and more accommodating all around. saying 'if this happens i can have a meltdown'#involves a huge amount of risk and effort for them to understand. but 'i could have a seizure' - suddenly they DO have accommodation for me#fancy that!!#if your professor is gonna be a judgy ableist bitch about you missing class from a ptsd episode (or if you don't know how they'll react)#then tell them you have the flu. no questions get asked. they don't want the flu. they'll tell YOU to stay home!#and if they are ableist then they won't secretly think you're crazy or being dramatic and weak!#I used to feel really bad about the fact that I would do that. but now I recognize that it was really smart actually and in fact good.#if someone said i can't treat your broken leg unless you also have gastrointestinal distress#then baby you better tell them you got a stomach ache#if you can only walk 20 feet but you are denied a wheelchair if you can walk more than 15 feet... no you can't.#if the fire department won't believe your house is on fire unless you say you can smell the fires of Mount Doom specifically then#by god you are Frodo with the One Ring. whatever it takes not to die in this fire.#and you don't have to feel guilty about it either. you're not the one withholding firefighting services from people with burning houses#they have enough time and money to put out all the fires in the town. they just don't want to. that's not your fault.#if the fire dept told you they'll only put out the fire in your house if it is an electrical fire then don't tell them about the grease fir#like in an ideal world we would all be totally honest all the time but in this world if your disease doesn't have the right code in#Aetna's system then they'll leave you to die idk what to tell you.#protect yourselves. protect each other. break rules. be punk.#cripplepunk#for legal reasons i am clarifying that i have never lied to an insurance company.
