there is a lot of pushback on the indieweb (especially on neocities) against the monotonous designs of modern social media. and i agree. it's boring that it all looks the same. where's the individuality, the pizzazz, the oomph?

however, i think a lot of people have failed to account for the fact that a not-insignificant part of the reason for the standardization of a monotonous layout is for accessibility reasons.

my point isn't "make all your personal sites look exactly like twitter/facebook/instagram" but rather "find the balance to include disabled people in your really cool neocities site." i promise you we love what you're making and want to see, if you'll let us. something as simple as clear text, image descriptions, and testing out your site with a screenreader goes a long way.

and at the very least, if your site is inaccessible in a way that may actively cause harm (like seizures, which can be fatal in the worst case) then please PLEASE be sure to have a clear warning. in the site description, in a loading screen, somewhere before the dangerous parts of the site are visible. that way if someone needs to take their medication, or adjust their browser settings (there's extensions that pause GIFs and stuff), or simply avoid your site to stay safe, then they can do that.

musing on some possible things regarding putting a boy thru various horrors

something something, kidnapped by the military to be experimented on and exploited. bonus muzzle because he bites.

mittens so he doesn't try to gouge open his surgical incisions (he would try, yes) but also so he can't remove the electronarcosis patch or collar, etc. Kind of a non-standard jumpsuit, but I figure he is a unique subject and they may choose to dress him in a uniquely identifying way (reflective stripe). Nylon hobbles vs. metal cuffs and waist chain just a matter of situation.

Modified DBS device to suppress powers via hyperpolarization of specific neurons in the anterior insular cortices, bilateral. Pulses can be used to cause temporary depolarization and trigger involuntary power activation.

epidural electrode grid over meta-motor cortex (fictional auxiliary part of the primary motor cortex) is normally off but can also be used to trigger powers in concert with insular pulses, or to overload his brain and create a massive burst of energy.

Military is also experimenting with ways to induce euphoria via ecstatic aura but so far that mostly just triggers a cascade of depolarization across both insulas, aka, an ecstatic seizure. like Dostoevsky. Oops! They're working on a way to prevent the transition from aura to seizure.

Anyway, TJ escapes, probably. Maybe destroys the entire facility. Probably kills a bunch of people either indirectly or directly.

goes all out on the weirdo front in his 30s, new tattoos, new piercings, DIY hair dye... probably a couple years after escape though. Interim is presumably mostly him being depressed and paranoid since he's like... a wanted fugitive...

Grows out his hair partly to cover up the lumps on his forehead and hide his surgical scars but also partly to "hide in plain sight" by looking pretty different to the average civilian.

Also because he's mildly nervous at the barber now.

also adopts a baby ferret and names her Zephyr. She's a silver panda color with Waardenburg syndrome, thus deaf. She's also a rescue and is very aggressive to other ferrets to TJ keeps her solo and she gets to free roam his bedroom (their bedroom) and sleeps on a pillow next to his head. TJ adores her and she's spoiled rotten. She makes him feel calm. He lets her ride in his hood when he vacuums.

Same wing tattoos as normal timeline but with different context of in part being used to cover up some of his scars and in part just to like, reclaim his personal and bodily autonomy.

EEG I decided even if he destroys the facility there's a non-zero chance he ends up with some copies of some of his tests including brain scans, so I decided he could get that on the back of his neck. X tattoo behind ear also reclamation of the body (location of electronarcosis sticker)

Cracked skull on shoulder because he's Edgy (I just thought it would look nice)

Unlike Lilith, does not keep his dye job touched up. Speaking of Lilith, not sure what their relationship status is at this point. TJ is a little bit antisocial, so. idk.

Me: (proceeds to have abandonment issues worse than a preschoolers first day of school and runs around the house like a kid that lost their parent at the grocery store)

my sister saw the psych & he said he won't refer her to a personality disorder unit because they're all privately run so you have to apply for funding and it's a whole thing. he didn't ask if she wanted to deal with that, he decided he didn't want to deal with that. instead he has prescribed her clozapine, an antipsychotic you have to start on an ineffectually low dose of in case it makes your heart dangerously slow. it weakens your immune system, increases your chance of seizures, may cause heart problems, and can cause a 'serious movement disorder' that 'may not be reversible'. she is still, also, on the highest dose of lithium they can give her. and she will continue to be on the lithium until the clozapine does something. but fuck forbid she has to go to a meeting!!!

What it's like owning a small dog:

accidentally drop a 1cm cube of ham on the floor

call over dog to eat it

dog inspects ham

dog looks at you and whines

cue eye roll

pick up ham

cut up into 6 smaller pieces

offer to dog that is waiting impatiently

dog will now eat ham

There is a reason I call small dogs 'toddlers with fur'.
