The lie that kills 20+, white, queer I have a love for the creepy, crawly, and squishy. They/Them/other gender neutral pronouns En español uso Él para mí Sometimes I run out of spoons and don’t tag, so there are untagged snakes, gore, spiders, body horror, general horror, and other creepy-crawlies running around this blog alongside potentially triggering material. I also swear. You have been warned. Avatar by the wonderful @sinkingwithshipss If you censor the word queer, block me. I’m slowly learning Spanish

The thing that fascinates me about janky RPG Maker horror games is that there's a specific level of jank that invites audience participation. Many well-regarded examples of the type do not actually achieve their intended experiences of play, but they get close enough that that experience can be constructed with active player buy-in. As a player you can of course break any game by going out of your way to refuse to cooperate, but when you're put in the position of needing to go out of your way not to break the game, you become a sort of co-author in a way that games which are actually functional typically don't permit.

[prokopetz]

There's a certain satisfaction in being able to clearly see that the scenery is made of cardboard and taking special care not to tip it over because you're genuinely curious where the game's author is going with this.

op disabled reblogs but i really wanted this post on my blog again

Convenience isn't bad because of some inherent value in toil or it rots your soul. Convenience is bad because it often comes at the cost of an exploited underclass. I don't care if someone wants to taxi their meal to their house instead of making it themselves or even driving to the restaurant themselves. I care that meal delivery apps underpay their workers (they don't even consider them their workers), provide no workplace protections, and prey on their desperation.

The desire for convenience is a morally neutral thing (no matter how many capitalists want their workers to see unproductivity or aversion to the "grind" as a moral failing). Companies that sell you only convenience by making it worse for yourself and for others are not.

[synchodai]

I'm sorry but this is the exact thing I was talking about when I said "convenience does not rot your soul."

You talking to a person over the counter to order food at a restaurant is not an anymore meaningful interaction than talking to someone who delivered that food. Delivery and take-out have always existed. That option to pay more for that convenience has always existed. The major difference now is that most restaurants no longer employ people in-house to do delivery, because it's being done by contracted gig workers who get absolutely no benefits or protections. The major difference now are the working conditions.

I agree societal connections are good, but you just going outside to order food and the coming back is not meaningfullly participating in society. Removing deliveries or any sort of accesibility service (cafes not having wifi for example) will not force people to interact with strangers if they don't want to do that. Convenience facilitates people who already don't want to interact with others, but convenience isn't what's making people lonely! You cannot passively consume your way to community.

Most people aren't gonna talk or build relationships with folks in that restaurant. They're gonna eat and leave, and that's less "community building" than someone who ordered take-out so they can stay home to participate in an online book club or zoom their loved ones in another country. Do not romanticize past toils and lack of accessibility. Convenience and accessibility leads to people having more time to connect with each other, not less.

Yep! Well, maybe not since the stone age, but since before 79 AD in Pompeii's thermopolium at least.

sometimes people experiencing psychosis and/or mania will come up to you on the street and talk in confusing or upsetting ways. your job is to either have a regular human-to-human conversation with that person or politely leave. your job is not to call 911. do not call 911. you might kill that person if you call 911.

[wheelie-sick]

I don't even have the energy to screenshot and respond to your tags- what the actual fuck is wrong with you? "the cops are scared and rightfully so" "mental health calls are the scariest for cops" OH so this isn't about the safety of psychotic & manic people this is about piggy feelings?

and no, actually, this is not USA specific and no, actually, people from other countries should not ignore this post. police violence and sanism weren't invented in the US and they are certainly not unique to here. if you (or anyone) thinks that this bullshit doesn't happen elsewhere then you are not listening.

cops r Some Guy with a Gun

do we want Some Guy with a Gun in this situation? answer is usually "NO"

[uncivilliberties]

This is legitimately useful reframing. A while ago I started replacing the word "cop" in my vocabulary with "a man with a gun." It really puts things into perspective.

This homeless person is making me uncomfortable. Should I call [a man with a gun]?

My neighbor is having a loud party. Should I get [a man with a gun] involved?

There are some teenagers skateboarding. Do you think [a man with a gun] would get rid of them for me?

It makes it very clear what you're saying. I can call a man with a gun to threaten or hurt someone mildly inconveniencing me. You're not calling the cops, you're calling A MAN WITH A GUN into a situation that does not warrant a firearm handled by a volatile lunatic who will not be held accountable for his actions.

Hey so were anyone else's canine teeth filed down against their will when they were a child or was my orthodontist just uniquely evil

[i-just-want-to-read-things]

what the ratfuckhell? No my dentists didn’t file down my canines! Why would someone do that?

[draconym]

When I asked him what he was doing to my teeth and why, my orthodontist said "pretty girls don't have sharp teeth." Which, as you might imagine, made Child Draconym very angry

[true-neutral-kobold]

You deserve free replacement fangs

It took 25 years but I did get my fangs

yesterday my grandma found a penny on the floor and said to my grandpa “there’s that penny again, pa!” and i absolutely lost my mind because i couldn’t shelve the thought of a single panel Far Side comic of two old people on the front porch in the middle of nowhere and a giant penny angrily and inexplicably rolling through the wastes

“there’s that penny again, pa!”

From the Nashville Zoo’s fb page! Here’s the petition, please please please take a moment to add your name (even if you’re not from Nashville!). If you are from Tennessee, contact your representatives and make it clear that the people do not want this data center. This is an AZA accredited zoo which is home to several species of critically endangered animals, we NEED to protect it. Make your voice heard!

[muttsandmustelidae]

Because people will pay attention to cute animals, here are some of the critically endangered/endangered species housed at the Nashville Zoo!

The Amur Leopard and Clouded Leopard (which recently celebrated its 50th cub born at the zoo!)

The Sumatran Tiger

The Red Ruffed Lemur and Ring-Tailed Lemur

The Cotton-Top Tamarin and White-Cheeked Gibbon

The Colobus Monkey and De Brazza’s Monkey

And the Mexican Spider Monkey!

Look at them!!!! Look at them and fight like hell to save them!!!!

[themightywolftiger]

Adding my own images of Nashville Zoo to this. It’s super important to stand, fight, and continue to spread awareness on this.

There’s so many other great animals at this zoo, and it's done so much in teaching people about animals and conservation.

[todaysbat]

Other animals includes bats, btw.

Nashville Zoo fights potential data center, developer addresses concerns raised

Developers are seeking to turn land into a 69,000-square-foot data center next to the Nashville zoo.

Tennessee is home to dozens of data centers, why a new one faces pushback

Amid a growing number of data centers in Tennessee, the Nashville Zoo is pushing back against a proposed facility near its property, citing

Developer claiming they'll follow government regs when the EPA is openly rolling back regulations.....
