i would trust weird al with my drink at a party. granted he may put one of those capsules that expands into a sponge animal in it,

[rhyme-plus-zombie]

sorry i had a vision and i just had to draw it

[hazard-symbols-that-fuck-hard]

I am BEGGING for an open-world game with a functioning train or tram.

Like, you actually have to wait for it in real-time, physically step on, then wait for your stop with the ability to actually explore it and chat with the other riders

No loading screens

And when you aren’t on it, you can look over and see it doing its route without you, picking up and dropping off patrons whether you’re there or not

please i need a video game that captures the joy of free public transit

[queer-as-city-folk]

This would be so good, the worst thing about open world games is getting between locations on opposite sides of a map, imagine how easy it would be if you could have public transit, and it would be more interesting than a simple fast travel mechanic

[thatpunnyperson]

Okay, this is the least useful addition, but when I played Ark: Survival Evolved, there was a guy on my server who had a dinosaur with a bunch of seats on the saddle, and everyone allied with his tribe so they could sit in the seats, and he would literally just run a set route around the map on this dinosaur. The rest of this guy's tribe was dedicated to doing other stuff in the game, but this one guy spent pretty much every minute of him being logged in just....being a public transit system. Part of his route ran by my tribe's base and I rode in one of the seats a few times to get to other parts of the map, but i would see him out and about at regular times often. Man literally was the local bus, and it was truly magical.

I think movies need more sex and i also think that actors need to be uglier and less in shape

[dryshawarma]

Do you hate children yes or no

[powerbottombrucespringsteen]

Yes

[seravph]

being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years

[seravph]

what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past ‘dresses are for women and pants are for men.’ i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we’ve made

[autoenucleate]

“We’re in danger of losing what the entire second wave of feminism, what the entire second wave of women’s liberation was built on, and that was ‘Biology is not destiny’. ‘One is not born a woman,’ Simone de Beauvoir said, ‘one becomes one’. Now there’s some place where transsexual women and other women intersect. Biological determinism has been used for centuries as a weapon against women, in order to justify a second-class and oppressed status. How on Earth, then, are you going to pick up the weapon of biological determinism and use it to liberate yourself? It’s a reactionary tool.”

— Quote by Leslie Feinberg, from TransSisters: The Journal of Transsexual Feminism, issue 7, volume 1. 1995.

Just Homelessness Things

(To support more posts about homelessness by me, a currently-homeless person, please visit my tip jar page!)

Finding change on the ground and remembering that money comes in other forms than cans.

Stacking the can of beans from the food pantry on top of the other can of beans from the homelessness event next to the bag of dried beans from the church food box.

Collecting bags. Ziploc bags, paper bags, plastic bags, canvas bags, fashion bags. All bags are valid.

Doing literally anything to get a free tote bag.

Developing a system via which you'll know which tote bag any given item is in.

Forgetting that system.

Slowly sorting through ten tote bags wondering which one the can opener will be inside of.

Searching for books on homelessness in the library.

Finding books on solving homelessness on a societal level and reading them anyway because there's not a lot to do.

Searching for the nearest wifi signal.

Hacking the password for the nearest wifi signal.

Getting the password for the nearest wifi signal in a legitimate fashion.

Learning that church is a free place to sit in air conditioning for about an hour.

Not ever having enough napkins.

Finding places that you can acquire free napkins and figuring out how best to hide them on your person.

Doing as many hygiene-related things during your allotted 15 minutes of shower time as you possibly can, thus learning to clip your nails while brushing your teeth and washing your hair.

Another jar of peanut butter.

Making almost every hot meal you eat in the one free-access microwave you can find.

Fifteen ways to prepare food using an electric kettle.

Fifteen public places you can plug in an electric kettle for long enough to cook something with.

The best instant ramen you've ever had.

A cleaner port-a-potty than usual.

Hearing someone sing about Jesus just as authentically and unironically as they are off-key.

Two outfits.

Finding something your size at the free clothing closet and only realizing later it's completely mislabeled.

Acquiring pet food via luck, charisma and guilt.

[felixswarren]

Standing in line for an hour at a new food pantry and receiving a whole watermelon and six eggs.

Eating another ham and cheese sandwich.

Packing the mayonnaise jar upside-down and nothing bad happens per se but the lid is full of mayo now and it's just kind of weird.

Camping in your car.

Getting told by the cops to stop camping in your car.

Getting told by the cops to park your car only in the parking lot of a random business where the owner swears he's cool with it.

Also getting told by the cops to keep that hot parking tip on the down-low and that there are no guarantees the owner won't just change his mind in the middle of the night and call them to kick you out anyway.

Driving to a new town where the cops don't recognize your car.

Learning a new craft and then immediately applying it.

Petting a friendly cat.

Finding out the cheap store brand foods taste the same or better than the expensive brand name foods.

Playing that board game one more time before we turn it back in to the library.

Thinking you found a returnable bottle on the ground but it's only redeemable in a state that's a six hour drive away.

The sound of rain on an unconventional roof. (Car roof. Tent roof. Doorway awning.)

Coming up with a new answer every time someone asks you where you live.

Soaking up the strange weightless warmth of a mylar emergency blanket.

Updating the county on your EBT status and every time the hold music pauses getting a new recorded update on whether SNAP has been cancelled.

Sighting an extremely difficult-to-collect soda can and determining whether it's worth ten cents to retrieve it.

Finding out the current guided art project at the shelter is pumpkin painting.

Trying to figure out where the fuck you're gonna put that pumpkin now.

Ok so at this point I've had two people roll up to me in manual wheelchairs, well, one of them was somebody pushing somebody who was nonverbal at the time, but it still counts. They asked me why I had zip ties around my tires.

It's winter where I'm living and we have really bad snow. And the snow plow people are really bad at their jobs probably because there aren't snow plow people who clean sidewalks. As a solution I got to thinking about how I could increase the traction on my wheels. And the most redneck thing I could think of was taking a bunch of zip ties and tying them around my wheels. They last surprisingly long, and work surprisingly well. It's basically the same premise as chains for your tires during the winter.

I chose to space them out pretty evenly so there's about one for every spoke. You could probably do more or less depending on how many you want and how much traction you get but I wouldn't go more than three per spoke. I realize that it's a bit later in the winter, and I probably should have made a post about this sooner, but I came up with it about a week ago. So please share this, even if you're not disabled, because there are tons of people I know who are stuck in their houses because they can't get around in the snow. A pack of zip ties costs about $5, which compared to $200 knobby snow tires is a big save, and if you want to invest you could get colored zip ties.

Sharing for accessibility

[catgirlwheels]

Oh fuck yes. Thank you all the abled people between op and me this is exactly what I needed to see 💜

[wishuponastarion]

ooh sweet, thanks for the tip

(for anyone using their chair both indoors and outside, highly recommend wheelchair 'slippers'/wheel socks like these so you don't tear up wood/vinyl/linoleum flooring with the zip ties!)

in my experience 80% of domming is just having enough confidence to cover the fact that you are completely out of ideas for what to do now
