My first post for Victor (@prednisonehateaccount) hasn’t gotten traction so I thought I would make a new one with his latest update.

Victor is an unhoused disabled trans person escaping abuse from family and an institution, and he needs help!

The rest of his update:

“I use a power chair. I need to live in an accessible building, likely built after 1990, which is more $$. I also need to live along good bus routes and/or relatively close to school. Generally, I see sublets for those buildings go for $1800-$2000, and I need to pay a deposit.

Due to a health emergency I had to travel back to new york early. It was 100% the right call and it’s saving my life, but due to my power chair and the fact that none of my friends live in accessible apartments I have been hemorrhaging money staying at a hotel.

I was able to outrun the costs for a while, but I’m currently $1k in debt. While fundraising for me to have a place to live, we need to outrun those hotel costs of an average of $250 a night as well.

I need the stability of housing for both my health and for school. I have been so grateful for the help of each and every one of you. It’s been a long journey and we’re almost there. It’s the home stretch!!”

is-this-fascism

i don't care if it's nazis, mormons, or a bunch of misguided autistic people. if anyone ever tries to tell you your soul is from another planet and you're actually part of the class of impressive people that secretly did everything cool in the world but is now extinct and lives on through your broken genome, you RUN. YOU WILL RUN AWAY. YOU WILL SPRINT FULL SPEED AWAY FROM THAT.

is-this-fascism

grabs you by the shoulders listen. listen to my words. i understand the urge to make fanfiction about yourself and to find a reality in which you're super awesome and great and everyone who hates you is wrong and dumb. i get it. you're better than that. you can love yourself without putting other people down, dehumanizing and generalizing, and retaliating against your oppressors.

there's no NPCs. there's no aliens coming to save us. we're not the next step in human evolution. our hyperconnected nervous systems give us terrible sensory overwhelm more often than they make us geniuses. neurotypical people are sentient, conscious, aware people who are capable of understanding you. we're more the same than we are different. we're more the same than we are different. we're more the same than we are different.

The new Odyssey adaptation has inevitably gotten people talking about a Muppet version of it, and they’re frequently suggesting Kermit as Odysseus, Miss Piggy as Penelope.

I’m sorry but that’s thinking way too small, hear me out:

We need to have Miss Piggy as Odysseus, and Kermit as Penelope.

Think about it… who’s the more fickle, prideful, warlike one in that relationship? Who is absolutely ready to go ham, at a moment’s notice?

It ain’t Kermit

But who is the single human cast member in this tale? Who gets to put in an Oscar-worthy performance alongside the Muppets and what role are they to play?

There’s no single human, everyone is a Muppet except for one scene. Circe, played by Janice, turns Odysseus’s crew into humans who still behave animalistic and are all played by Academy Award winning actors.

You know, if you're going to dye a fountain for some cause, you might want to think seriously about what visual effect your choice of color will have when added to water ...

Hi fun fact, colors do have meaning and there is a legit thing called color theory. Yellow does has more positive connotations than negative. Yellow is associated more with happiness, creativity and hope than pissing on the poor.

Something neuroscience-y that helps with prose: attention is selective. A character will not notice everything in a room. They will notice what matters to their goal, fear, desire, training, wound, or obsession. A jealous character notices hands. a hungry character notices food. A soldier notices exits. A lonely character notices pairs. Description becomes character when attention has a bias.

It's almost like something happened in 2020-now that is causing these problems.

Btw the three-cueing thing is less of a "they've started doing this to kids now" issue and more of a "the harm of teaching reading this way has been ongoing for decades in the english-speaking world, many of the people affected are now grown adults, Mississippi was able to massively increase the average reading level of students over the course of the last decade by simply teaching reading in a scientifically grounded way instead" issue.
