Spying on the cool kids

[cherryhomo]

just wanted to share the National Down Syndrome Society’s message for this year’s World Down Syndrome Day (21st March) 💛💙

[naamahdarling]

Powerful message that lovingly includes multiple disabilities, united. I love this.

[kibbits]

[ID: Screenshot of the tiktok message from ndssorg that reads: This #World Down Syndrome Day (spaces for readability), we've joined forces with @/coordown and other international Down syndrome organizations to spread the powerful message: No Decision Without Us. 💪

People with disabilities deserve a seat at the table where decisions are made about their lives, their futures, and their rights. Let's work together towards a world where every voice is valued. # No Decision Without Us #WDSD25 /End ID]

if you’re ever in the position to choose between giving up and accepting defeat, and actually trying to fight the ancient unkillable god that is about to peel apart reality like a string cheese, remember this: scientifically speaking, you might as well give it a shot!

1.there were trees at the beginning of the world! there were trees so long ago that they predate bacteria that causes wood to decay. when a tree fell, it would lie there in stasis and there wasn’t any way of breaking down wood xylem on a molecular level in that way.

2. it seems obvious to say, but wood eating bacteria are literally incapable of comprehending what they’re breaking down. It’s just not information conciously available to a microorganism. they don’t know what they’re deconstructing, where it came from, bacteria have no way to even fathom the existence of a tree as a concept.

3. Regardless of the facts above, the world we live in today is a world where wood inevitably decomposes

it is worth fighting the unkillable god no matter how pointless it seems. it is worth taking the risk even though youre trying to accomplish something impossible. the reality in which you live was also once reality in which trees didn’t rot. You live in a reality that allows for existence before the possibility of destruction. you live in a reality where uncomprehending microbes break down matter that is so far beyond the scope of their comprehension that it feels comical to specify something so obvious. you live in a reality that occasionally allows unshakeable physical truths to be altered with no warning.

It is worth fighting the unkillable god because trees are so old they predate the source of their destruction, and it still did not spare them. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because bacteria rots unthinkingly, because there is room in our cosmos for destruction without comprehension on the part of the destroyer. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because now and then reality retracts the promise of immortality without fanfare, and when that happens there is no mercy for the ancient. the unmaking is not softer for the desecrators ignorance. for all things, existence is endless until the exact point where it ends.

so you might as well try to kill the unkillable god. it doesn’t seem likely, but at the beginning of the world, trees didn’t rot. so you never know! you never know

[kyraneko]

fight the unkillable god, because you may be mistaken about its unkillability.

fight the unkillable god, because you may be the first bacterium to take a successful bite.

fight the unkillable god, so as to set foot onto the path which leads to the god being killable.

the bacteria that couldn't eat the tree and the bacteria that could eat the tree had the same general understanding of the tree.

might as well take a bite.

all video games should have a “I’m shit at video games but I’m curious about the story and I don’t want to watch a let’s play” mode

[anotherpapercut]

I am

[anotherpapercut]

I made this post because I am disabled and no matter how much I practice there are some games I will never be able to play because I physically cannot move my fingers the way you have to and the responses to this post from other disabled people, people who grew up unable to play video games, and people who just aren’t very good at them has been extremely enthusiastically positive, while people who apparently can’t conceive of the idea that some people will never be good at gaming condescendingly comment, tag or send me asks telling me to try easy mode or to get good despite the fact that the feature I’m describing already exists in some games and mods. if you’re part of the latter group, consider that some of us can not ever be good at video games and we still deserve to be able to participate and have fun

[heart-sprout]

Ok, real talk, if you play PC games I use a program called Wemod that has settings for almost every game ever and you can change them to suit your needs Unlimited health? one hit kill? unlimited items? They can’t mod multiplayer games, but every genre of game imaginable is on Wemod so I use it for everything from stardew valley, subnautica, hades, farming sim and more! It mods the games to your level of ease without needing to mess with any files or get deep into webpages for mods yourself It is a life changer

[stevviefox]

FYI ⬆️⬆️⬆️

Only passing along as the only games I play are on my phone.

Get an older sibling and have them play the game and you watch

[raevenlywrites]

One, this is older siblings who watch younger siblings play erasure, two that’s not the point. People deserve to enjoy the experience of playing a game for themselves. Watching someone play is fun. Playing yourself is a different kind of fun.

[beggars-opera]

There are so many reasons why someone wouldn’t want to be challenged by a game, and it’s ridiculous that people can’t fathom someone requiring a different gameplay than themselves. 

Back in the dark ages when I was a kid and we got our first computer, my dad noticed that I was sad because I wanted to play computer games like him, so he would let me play his games in god mode. Should a five year old have been playing Ultimate Doom? Absolutely not. Did I enjoy the shit out of it, particularly the part where I couldn’t die and could just wander around aimlessly machine gunning demons to death with no real goal in mind? Hell yes.

[gimme-the-gun-ill-shoot]

Also, no one should have to explain the reason they want to play the game in god mode.

That is absolutely none of your business, if someone wants to play the game with max items, weapons, armor, money etc., whatever reason they’re playing that way for. YOU, the anon on the internet have no business knowing or shitting on how they play. It’s THEIR game, and THEIR gameplay experience. and I hope OP was able to play their game the way they wanted to without being stymied by the games mechanics.

Oh shit, I have something for this!

[jabberwockypie]

That’s Althea Crome’s work. You’ve seen her work before if you’ve ever seen the movie Coraline because she did the teeny tiny star sweater and gloves for the stop motion puppets to wear.

She does, however, work even smaller.

Gondor Week day 6: Minor characters

When things are all said and done, I like to imagine Aragorn paying a visit to the nameless townsperson who supplied the six dried leaves of athelas that revived Faramir, Eowyn, and Merry.

Literally haven't taken it off since I finished it. I am so unbelievably pleased!!!! It turned out like a dream 🍓✨ details below:

Pattern: frost lines by andrea mowry

Yarn: mc: Brooklyn tweed (rip) loft // cc: spincycle dyed in the wool, strawbaby colorway

I used US5s and knit a size 5 due to gauge differences, since these yarns are technically fingering weight. It is a very light wearing sweater, weighs absolutely nothing on my shoulders.

I wanted to show off the yarn - and I was afraid of running out of the mc tan bc I can't get more of it - so I did the cuffs in the spincycle, as well as added a very cute behind the neck detail i am in LOVE with.

Otherwise, the only mod is I knit the buttonband thinner, and shifted the buttons to be between stripes rather than at stripes. Thought it looked better.

Overall, so very happy with it. It feels absurdly professional and so put together. Mowry's raglan chart was really fun to use and I kinda want another one XD

Ok, jerk-faces. I'm furious to report that my last experiment of using negativity to get more attention was disgustingly successful. It's so gross.

So now I'm sitting here, totally livid, trying to think of how to discuss my obscenely whimsical new fantasy novel Strange Animals. If coziness enrages you as much as it does me… then good luck reading this thing. It's really awful how much the characters go all soft-n-squishy for nature. And like, I'm appalled with joy at all the ridiculously positive responses to the book. Like… really? You a-holes really like found family, mystery, and cryptids in the Catskill Mountains? Grow up.

And I will be so angry if anybody asks me how to find the book. Barf. Can you even imagine? Go ahead and f-right-off to your local bookstore and ask them about it, if you're so tough.

Fox, never thought he would find anyone who hates and got fucked up by Palpatine as much as he did: ...Hi?

Maul, in handcuffs, probably bruised and bloody, just yelled all of Sidious plans in the middle of the senate in a very emotionally dramatic way and very confused about this random trooper talking to him: Hi?

Fox, visibly starstruck even with the helmet: Hi.

[necro-lag]

Fox, resting on the bars, trying to look casual: So... Would you be... Free, any day now?

Maul, breaking out of his prison cell and ready to escape, was expecting Fox to try and stop him: Are you- You're trying to flirt with me???

Fox: Well-

Fox, totally not quoting a book on flirting he saw once as a teenager: Actually no. Flirting is ambiguous, could lead to anything.

Fox: I would say I'm courting you, because I plan to marry you one day.

Maul:...

Maul: Okay, that was good, I'll give you that.
