I will fight tooth and nail to defend fandom from outsiders who are like "fandom ruins everything!" (when they usually mean the behaviour of specific cishet male fans), but man. Maaaan. I stay as far away from fandom as possible because I just can't deal with it, lol. The drrramaaa
lol I have now noticed a few times that I do the same finger wiggling thing that Rocky does when I'm trying to make a decision or choice 😂
I wanted to post about this because I know many of my mutuals are avid crafters and I don't know how much attention this endeavour is getting outside of end-of-life spaces-
The Loose Ends Project matches crafters with a project that is unfinished because of death or disability. They offer help with a spectrum of textile mediums in over 80 countries. One project I find particularly lovely: “My mom was making this octopus for me. She was 67 years old when she passed away from COPD. She was hospitalized for pulmonary rehab several times and would always take it to work on while she was there and loved to talk about it with people."
(the red heart marks the last stitch made by this person's mom) Anyway, if something like this is something you'd like to be involved in, they are always looking for more crafters <3
My favourite recent finishing project that they posted about wasn't precisely something that the crafter left unfinished. The knitter in question had had dementia, and thought she was knitting scarves. So a finisher was found to piece all the little bits of knitting together into a blanket.
I strongly dislike the Murderbot TV adaptation, but man. In a hypothetical universe where it doesn't suck, I want James Ortiz to voice ART.
My boss is completely LLM-pilled and it's so depressing
I HAVE FINALLY SEEN PROJECT HAIL MARY. I CAN FINALLY UNBLOCK ALL Y'ALL'S POSTS ABOUT IT.
Gosh what fun. And so pretty.
I'm so fucking dysregulated and the world is burning and everything sucks
Like. Having to chase after meds like a beggar again. Knee fucked in new ways, may be unable to do any kind of cardio. One foot still fucked, can't even walk properly. But HEY also can't sit for any amount of time! Also going crazy having to sit around at home all the time. Works sucks because boss has drunk the LLM coolaid and is letting his autocomplete minions loose on my job. Neighbours won't stop stomping around on my head. Am losing my dexterity because all I do is sit at the fucking computer, so of course I sprayed coconut milk everywhere in the kitchen earlier. Found some in my hair.
Woman at the pharmacy mentioned her husband's MCAS. And now there's a new pandemic going to happen while everyone's still denying the current ongoing one that's disabling everyone. INCLUDING ME. I definitely wasn't disabled a few years ago. Now I definitely am. It never fucking ends. It just gets worse. Oh hey and the climate is fucked as well. And the climate scientists who're also bringing us good news? Are denying Covid. Oh hey and also it's fucking Eurovision in my fucking city and so many queers and normies are cheering for genocide.
The crazy thing is, ninety-nine times out of a hundred, if you asked me on any given day "Would like to see a picture of some genitals?" my answer would be "😰 No, that's... No, thank you. I'm okay, actually." I have nothing but the utmost respect for people who do engage with the penis side of the internet, but personally, I've spent the better part of two decades doing all I can NOT to have pictures of dick and balls or sexy bikini babe buttcheeks blasted onto my retinas constantly. And yet... to be denied the penis? To have a jumped up pile of javascript tell me, a grown adult with an air fryer and an outstanding council tax bill, that I cannot be trusted to withstand the sight of a bare nipple unless I let it scan my drivers' license? I will move heaven and earth to see that fucking nipple, friend. I will walk a thousand miles barefoot on hot coals before I give you big brother bitches my passport number. A thousand miles through the desert with five VPNs just to press my face up against the glass and see the last uncensored picture of two My Little Pony Characters sixty-nining each other, and I don't even want! to look at it! But I will! I must! for the sake of our fucking democracy!
Dreamt (again?) that I was an original character played by Sam Rockwell, and it was awesome.
"I envy thin people so much", I lament, putting another piece of chocolate in my mouth

Not a song I was actively listening to back then, but man, I'm viscerally hit with... nostalgia? Longing? Sadness? For a world gone by.
I wasn't even having a great time in the 90s? Brains are wild.
Switched from Dragon Age: Inquisition to Divinity: Original Sin: 2 (replay after... uhm... almost ten years O_O), and man. I love Fane's voice. It's so yummy.
(I'm also amused that I chose The Red Prince as MC and was like, huh, his voice sounds vaguely familiar. YES BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME VOICE ACTOR AS MY INQUISITOR LOL) (who also, as the Inquisitor, has a very fine voice)
I feel like I need to explain this about the Hungarian election: Tisza won without any presence in the mainstream media, and barely anything you could call a "political ad." And it's not just that they couldn't afford it: they couldn't access certain types of publicity even if they had the money. Over the last sixteen years, Fidesz has come to dominate our national media infrastructure. We don't have hardline censorship, it's just that all of the means to speak and be heard belong to Orbán.
An opposition party can no longer place full-size billboards anywhere in Hungary: the private companies renting out billboard spaces are also under Fidesz control. Fidesz can fill the city with billboards, on walls, next to roads, in every bus stop, etc etc, Tisza had none, except for smaller cardboard ones ziptied to traffic signs.
There are free, state-run TV and radio channels that lots of people use to get their news, and those are 100% Fidesz propaganda. Free newspapers are handed out: Fidesz propaganda. Private, for-profit media exists, but a lot of it is owned by Fidesz puppets and echoes the party line, a lot of it is technically free but self-censors to avoid trouble, and the remainders of truly free media remains struggled to have the same reach as the media propped up by the whole state infrastructure. Fidesz used financial and political means to break multiple dissenting newspapers and online news sites, replacing them with zombie propaganda creatures. Some things no longer appear in mainstream media, for example, opposition politicians do not appear in mainstream media. There could be no televised debate between candidates because that would have meant giving free air time to enemies of Fidesz.
The opposition has access to social media, and they have access to crowdfunded alternative news/journalism sites, which also disseminate information via social media, and that's basically it, while Fidesz also pushes their own agenda via the same social networks. Shoutout to gen Z and A for being online in the right way and amplifying true information, shoutout to some surprisingly ethical influencers, shoutout to Tisza for being good at maintaining an engaging social media presence that could rival state-funded television, but an especially huge and humbled shoutout to the investigative and documentary journalists who did not stop, and who spent the last decade uncovering the scandals that finally brought the regime down. But that still would not have been enough, because not everyone is on the internet, and not everyone on the internet is already reading the same four independent investigative outlets.
It is only in retrospect that I understand how much of this campaign was won the old, low-tech way, on foot, door to door, face to face. Telling people what was going on, and asking them what they wanted. I used to think it was just a silly gimmick that Péter Magyar walked from Budapest to Nagyvárad (ca. 300 km), but if a guy can't get on television, he has to go to fifty different villages and convey the news like a town crier. And of course it wasn't just him, Tisza candidates and volunteers have put in a truly impressive amount of footwork.
The party having a TWO-THIRD SUPERMAJORITY was basically silent and invisible in any mainstream outlet. They didn't need that shit, and apparently their voters didn't either. This is incredibly impressive.
Lessons for anyone not satisfied with warmed over center right policies as the other option to the fascism we are under. It’s not just a slogan, it’s not just protesting; get in the streets
This reblog reminded me to clarify for my non-Hungarian followers: Péter Magyar definitely represents warmed-over center right policies. If you compared him to US dems, he might be left of them on healthcare by default,* but he's right of them on... immigration, foreign policy, economic policy, environmental policy, women's rights, LGBT rights, pretty much everything. Guy's a conservative, his big tent coalition covers all sorts of people but leans conservative. I still voted for him, because he's to the left of Orbán, and represents our only viable chance of curbing domestic and international corruption.
Am I satisfied? Hell no, I want better, I want an actual left-wing party in power, but for the moment, I'm very thankful for the volunteers who built a grassroots movement and for the activists and whistleblowers who risked political intimidation and secret service operations (yes that actually happened I'll make another post) to usher in a regime change. The lesson is that you need to get in the streets for warmed over center right policies preached by a guy you kinda don't like. If the other option is fascism, what are you waiting for?
*We already have a public healthcare system, which means even our shittiest politician are technically pro public healthcare.
ppl without meds: wow…. i can't imagine being dependent on medicine... pills every day? injecting myself every week? how tragic
ppl who need meds: holy fuck they invented the solution to my problem and i literally just need to take magic tiny rocks and inject some substance every week. oh my god. i get to feel better in literally any capacity. holy shit
ppl who need meds but can't access them/meds for their thing don't exist yet: holy fuck I wish I had tiny magic rocks or injectable substance or cream or gel or potion or implant to take at whatever rate necessary to fix my problem. I'd kill to take that every day/week/etc forever if it would fix my thing
CONGRATULATIONS, HUNGARY!
A WIN FOR HUNGARY, A WIN FOR THE EU, A WIN FOR THE PEOPLE.
GET FUCKED, ORBÀN! GET FUCKED, PUTIN/TRUMP!
I've played two and a half(ish) Dragon Age games so far and despite my appreciation of Alistair and my vague obsession with Anders, I think the character that low-key rattles around my brain the most is actually Varric.
I don't know how painting works, but I'm not letting that stop me!!!111 My Lavellan Inquisitor being rescued from freezing to death by Cullen after Act 1 of Inquisition.
This only took me an hour, btw. Really helps to go "clothing details? Fuck that shit" lololol
