Inktober day one : The Fool

( I found a series of inktober tarot card prompts that I went with)

I went with Quinn, from Iustitia ch 2 when he joins Gimrizh’s crew. The fool shows the start of a journey, often portraying a young man on the edge of a cliff, staring towards the sky with a bag carrying all his worldly possessions. The card represents unlimited potential, and taking the first step of a journey, often with challenges that are yet to come.

I have fallen into the pit of SWTOR so deeply and irrevocably that I need to find more blogs interested in this fandom

I love making memes, very passionate about my OC children, and take pride in my ability to find songs for literally any character in existence

Boycott To Siri With Love

If you are planning on reading or gifting “To Siri With Love” by Judith Newman, please be aware that the autistic community has called for a boycott. The book is a grotesque invasion of the 13-year old son’s privacy including her cruel observations that imagining him having sex is accompanied by the Benny Hill soundtrack in her head. She plans to acquire power of attorney to have him forcibly sterilized when he is 18 without his consent.

Books having a long shelf life, this tell-all laughing at his struggles with social communication, motor apraxia, etc. may make her a lot of money and has gotten her on the NYT book list, however that book is going to follow him for the rest of his life. It is child abuse in printed format. 

[academicgangster]

Okay, so I read the first twenty pages of the book, and HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS IT’S BAD.

The author begins by saying she hates ‘patronizing’ phrases, but then:

She says she’ll use ‘he’ as the default pronoun because she hates the singular ‘they’ - I quote, “Language needs to evolve, but not into something ugly and imprecise.” She then goes on to bash the word ‘cisgender’ as supposedly pretentious.

She casually mentions looking at her kids’ Google search history as a matter of course.

While discussing the rise in autism diagnosis rates, she says, word for word: “Or whether it’s because slightly odd people who used to be single are having more of a chance to breed”

She consistently uses person-first language, despite having poked fun at it earlier.

She consistently focuses on her (very privileged, narrow, making no attempt to widen it) worldview rather than her child’s.

And that’s just within the first twenty pages.

Here is a post by an actually autistic lady detailing the horrible, callous, dehumanizing way this author speaks of autistic people, the way said author has behaved on Twitter towards autistic people, and yes the author’s unashamed declaration that she intends to forcibly sterilize her autistic son who was, let me remind you, thirteen years old at the time she wrote the book (and is still a minor).

In conclusion, fuck this woman. Absolutely boycott this book. As an autistic person, I know our voices are incredibly diverse, but I think I speak for all of us in saying this: I do not want to be condescended to by people who pretend they’re on my side.

[azriona]

If the autistic community finds her words about autism abhorrent, I don’t think I need more convincing.

[prideofyunmeng]

I love how she says “breed” like I’m some kind of showdog

When you’re married your internal monologue sort of goes like “Oh my god, look at him, he’s so cute, oh, I love you so much–god, you’re a fucking dumbass. Aww, so cute! Fucking hell dude, it’s not that difficult! Thank you for the candy I love you so much”

So it just struck me… Talz live in arctic climate. And have a ton of fur. They’re like huskies. Turning the temperature up to where most other humanoids would at least find it “pleasantly cool” rather than “chilly” would make a Talz miserable and possibly ill.

A lot of planets - like, say, Dromund Kaas, also Korriban - have a MUCH higher average temperature than that.

This mental image of Broonmark with a lion cut is brought to you by Doomie having insomnia. (And now, so will you.)

“Hey, stranger.”

[lumina-star-okochi]

I’ma fucking do it.

That’s it

I’m going to do it.

You’re all pretty amazing people, (except for Ajit Pai.) And I figured that people deserve a smile on their face. (Except for the one stated above.)  I’ll write a poem for any of your characters.

Reblog this, and I’ll drop the poem in an ask/message/mention you in a post. If I don’t know about your character, I’ll send a message to you asking about a brief overview.

I’ll try to flip my mood, by making you all feel good.

[rinhkitty]

:O

This is a beautiful idea @lumina-star-okochi !

This blog did not and will not send requests for bitcoin donations.

There seems to be a virus or some sort of malware going around causing blogs to “send out” chat messages to blogs that they follow asking for help with the purchase of certain items through donations of seemingly small amounts using bitcoin and adds a link to the message.

The message goes as following (at least the first message I got went like this): “Hi there buddy. I need help, I’m trying to buy a laptop and I can’t afford it. I’m about 0.36$ short, and I’d really appreciate if you could help me and transfer some money to me via bitcoin using this *link*.”

The small details in the message seems to have a few variations with the greeting, amount and purchased item showing up in different variations from formal to friendly, from 0.016 to 2$ and from a phone case to a laptop among others.

The blogs that are affected send out the messages to blogs that they follow for a long time mostly, so you are most likely to receive the message from a long time, active follower whose name you might recognize or a mutual etc. The blogs that are affected are not spam bots but actual active followers who follow the recipient for months or years and most likely the blogger who “sent” the message is unaware of the message being sent.

DO NOT OPEN THE LINK.

Opening up the link will cause the virus to spread even more and infect your computer/mobile with any sort of malware.

If you have received a message of that sort from this blog please know that it was not sent by me or within my control and ignore/delete the message without clicking the link.
