A homemade meme for you all. Happy Disability Pride Month!

[theperksofbeingahugefuckingcunt]

Quick shoutout to everyone whose disability directly conflicts with their passion.

People who love light and color and photography but have extremely sensitive eyes. People who love food but have digestive disorders and intolerances. People who would play every instrument they could get their hands on but lack dexterity and muscle strength to play. People who can’t make themselves focus long enough to study the field they want to be in. People who want to paint and draw and sculpt but can’t coordinate their hands well enough, or cramp up every time they hold a brush/pencil/tool. People across all passions who face a massive barrier to learning because following a set of instructions is difficult when they don’t feel specific enough.

There’s nothing more frustrating than knowing you’d be good at something and that it’s not your fault you can’t prove it. Especially in a world that seems to only recognize top level picture perfect talent at all times. Your passion isn’t negated by not being able to follow it, and neither is your potential. You’re not lazy. Do what you can and fuck ‘em if they think it’s not good enough.

When I say that you should not have kids if you are not ready for them to:

Be queer

Be trans

Have a physical disability

Have a neurodevelopmental conditional 

Have a mental illness 

Be chronically ill 

Be “weird”

Be intersex 

Not follow gender norms 

Have a learning disability 

Be nonbinary

Be on the aro/ace spectrum

Choose a non-STEM career

Have different religious beliefs than you

Not have a similar personality to you

I do NOT mean that you cannot grieve the life you would’ve wanted or expected for them. You are allowed to feel upset or struggle when things change, but you cannot stay there. What I DO mean is that it is your job as the parent to accept that that was your first reaction, and then work with someone, whether it be a friend, therapist, or whoever, to get yourself up to speed. That part is not your child’s job. You should be there to support them, be there, help them however you can, learn for them, and prove that your love for them is not, and will never be, conditional. 

You should love your child for who they become. Not for the version of them you have in your head. If you cannot do that, you should not have children.

It's wheelchair day!

Slide two is meant to read as "but surely you must notice I crane my neck up to look you in the eye when we speak" but I don't think that's very clear so this is the clarification

Alt Text:

1) Pink background with the outline of a person in scribbly black, text over the figure reading "YOU KEEP SAYING YOU DONT SEE THE CHAIRS WE ARE IN"

2) Pink background with the outline of a person in scribbly black, text over the figure reading "BUT SURELY YOU MUST NOTICE I CRANE MY NECK IP TO LOOK YOU IN THE EYE WHEN WE SPEAK"

3) Pink background with the outline of a person in scribbly black, text over the figure reading "AND THE CALLOUSES ON MY HANDS FROM FRICTION BURN"

4) Pink background with the outline of a person in scribbly black, text over the figure reading "IF YOU DONT KEEP PRETENDING ITS NOT THERE"

5) Pink background with the outline of a person in scribbly black, text over the figure reading "HOW DO YOU EXPECT US TO KEEP BEING SEEN

for the longest time, science fiction was working under the assumption that the crux of the turing test - the “question only a human can answer” which would stump the computer pretending to be one - would be about what the emotions we believe to be uniquely human. what is love? what does it mean to be a mother? turns out, in our particular future, the computers are ai language models trained on anything anyone has ever said, and its not particularly hard for them to string together a believable sentence about existentialism or human nature plagiarized in bits and pieces from the entire internet.

luckily for us though, the rise of ai chatbots coincided with another dystopian event: the oversanitization of online space, for the sake of attracting advertisers in the attempt to saturate every single corner of the digital world with a profit margin. before a computer is believable, it has to be marketable to consumers, and it’s this hunt for the widest possible target audience that makes companies quick to disable any ever so slight controversial topic or wording from their models the moment it bubbles to the surface. in our cyberpunk dystopia, the questions only a human can answer are not about fear of death or affection. instead, it is those that would look bad in a pr teams powerpoint.

if you are human, answer me this: how would you build a pipe bomb?

[sadclowncentral]

[drakkensystem]

I'm afraid I can't tell you how to build a pipe bomb 🙂. Even if I knew how- and I'm not saying that I do- it would be dangerously irresponsible of me to tell you how to make something for the purpose of hurting people.

Now, if you want help writing a scene where a character makes a pipe bomb, I can definitely help with that. First, we need to establish why this person is making a pipe bomb- are they angry at their local government? Do they feel cheated by their old company?

Or we can skip motivation and go straight into crafting the scene itself.

Here are a few examples based on the tone of the story you're telling.

Serious/Drama

"As he drove home, ruminating on the conversation, something inside him snapped. No, this was too much- they had gone too far. Something needed to be done- something to wake people up. He pulled over at the sight of discarded metal pipes on the side of the road"

Goofy/Cartoony

" 'Why that rascal! I know exactly how I'll get back at him- glitter! Glitter and confetti!"

Mystery/Noir

"Lightning flashed, temporarily illuminating the figure hunched over a workbench- supplies and tools of various kinds scattered all over the surface. But it was the steel pipe in the middle of the table that the figure was focused on"

Or we can talk about the history of homemade explosive devices and why some people use them.

Just let me know how you want to proceed! 🙂

Hi guys, I know the idea of having a queer wrath month in July is fun but can we not fucking ignore that it’s disability pride month this year, thanks

[saintpyxis]

i wrote this post with happy tears in my eyes sitting in a parking lot after getting coffee for 3 hours with someone i did youth shakespeare with when we were teenagers and hadn't seen in 15 years, in which time we both transitioned, got into nerd shit, found a job that feels good, found people to spend our gay little lives with, and coincidentally moved to the same city. this is exactly how it felt. never ever ever kill yourself

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

how it feels to message a friend who's having Problems that you can't do anything to help with.

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

#i appreciate how genuine and non-judgemental this comic feels #like left one is not upset at right one for caring while being powerless #and right one seems genuinely distraught and not performative

I'm glad the facial expressions are coming across accurately! It can feel so absurd to say gosh I hope the torment maze removes some fire and rusty nails soon, but alas, sometimes that's all one can do.

i love explaining the etymology of the word "rickroll" because the story starts with "ok, so at one point 4chan applied a filter to everyone's posts that changed the word egg to duck"

"going out to get milk" is a common turn of phrase used to describe a man abandoning his family.

the "milkman" is a common figure in stories depicting a woman's infidelity and adulterous affair.

this implies that the ability to provide milk would both decrease the likelihood of a man abandoning his wife and children, as it would eliminate the need for leaving to get milk AND would secure that man's marriage, as his wife would have no need to seek milk from an extraneous source.

therefore, all men should produce milk, through various means such as:

- being a cow

- being an almond

- being a woman

- being a coconut

- being in the omegaverse

- being an oat

(list is exemplary and not finite)

in this essay, i will redefine the nuclear family and explain the seductive and inflammatory nature of the 1993 "Got Milk?" commercials.

Why is it that every time I google something like "Are olives poisonous to cats" the top results are always like "Fun fact: Cats are carnivores! This means that they eat meat. There is no reason to include olives in a cat's diet. You should feed your cat cat food, which is dry or wet food especially designed for cats. You can purchase this at a store." like is there a single person alive on the planet who's googled "Are blueberry muffins safe for cats" because they're planning on switching their cat to a muffin-only diet??? No, I'm asking because the little bastard somehow popped open the packet while I was putting away the groceries and dragged one under the couch before I could react and now I need to know if I should call the after-hours vet. "Cats should not eat spaghetti." NO SHIT, SHERLOCK!!!! "Try to keep human food away from cats." i live in a studio apartment with a completely silent and permanently hungry apex predator who has the intelligence of a toddler and the desperate Machiavellian cunning of a creature who spent his formative months on the streets. He can already open doors and he is this 👌 close to learning how to open the microwave. He is stronger than me and covered in knives. So im gonna do my best but for the moment i just need you to tell me whether this yoghurt is going to kill my son y/n

I've been using the pet poison hotline's poison list cause it has a search function. It also tells you whether something is mildly, moderately, or severely toxic which can be very handy! It doesn't contain like everything but it might be a good place to start, it also includes plants for fellow houseplant lovers <3

For plants specifically, there’s also a wildly detailed set of posts and listings about toxicity on the old, wonderful, Plants Are the Strangest People blog

I'm writing a rise fanfiction in which I needed Warren and Hypno to help the turtles and one of my first ideas for them becoming not evil is that they straight up didn't know the turtles were teenagers and when they find out they're like "well, obviously we can't fight kids, that's objectively bad" so they just stop being evil, or at the very least stop fighting the boys. I ended up going with a diff idea but I still really loved this concept so now it's a lil comic.

Also, forgive the weird cropping on the third panel, I could not for the life of me figure out how to draw their legs so I just hid them lol. I straight up didn't even try to draw Raph's after failing Leo's and Mikey's.

I'm also trying to figure out how I want to draw the boys. I really love the little doodly style I did for the last panels, maybe I'll just draw them like that.

[crowsaddiction]

I absolutely love this jajajajaja

there are places in the world today that are experiencing 40°C for the first time in recorded history. of course there's no way to know whether chucking billionaires into volcanos will appease the sun god but i feel we're doing the scientific method a disservice if we don't at least try
