Dare To Be DIFFERENT

People are like stained-glass windows. Even their most broken qualities can be pieced together for a more beautiful purpose, the bigger picture.

[anavar-immela]

I’ve had this sort of thing happen.

At least it explained why the package took so long to get here.

[phantomrose96]

I appreciate that they have an Entire Stamp for “Missent to Nepal”

No one said “hey let’s stop missending things to Nepal” they just said “let’s make a stamp for this” and called it a day.

I’m gonna get Missent to Guam tattooed on my arm in commemoration.

[korasonata]

Ok I know this is super old now but I work at a post office and I was curious about the price so I did some digging and I still don’t have a definite answer because THE REASON it says “no shipping services available” is because all shipping services were actually suspended to Guam at the time. As in no packages, parcels, letters, or mail or any kind could be sent to Guam. So not only is it mind boggling that it got sent so far in the wrong direction of its intended destination, but because nothing should have been able to get in to Guam period.

You QUITE LITERALLY could not have sent these cookies to Guam if you tried.

Rings and Moons of Uranus l Hubble 2004

The bright moon on the lower right corner is Ariel, which has a snowy white surface. The other moons with dark surfaces can be seen just outside the rings. Clockwise from the top, they are: Desdemona, Belinda, Portia, Cressida, and Puck.

This is a friendly reminder that none disabled people often do benefit from the same accommodations disabled people benefit from.

[yeahokayillreblogthat]

Yeah okay I'll reblog that!!

[multishipperpirateking]

My dad used to work for Vodafone and likes to tell a story about when he was working on a voicemail transcription service.

And there was a woman there who was some form of disability advocate (it was the 90s so her existence in the company was a minor miracle) and apparently she completely blew his mind on that project.

See, he'd imagined that this service was exclusively gonna be for deaf people. Obviously very useful for the very small number of people who couldn't hear their phone, but why would you even own a mobile phone if you couldn't hear?

But she described to him all the times he might want to read a message instead of listen to it. Maybe he was in a loud football crowd. Maybe there was important info that he needed to copy down that was spoken too fast. Maybe he was holding his sleeping newborn (me) and didn't want his phone to be loud and wake them up.

This doesn't feel as revolutionary as all that to those of us that have only ever known phones with the ability 'send text message', but given the timing and placement of this conversation I wonder if this woman and this project is *part of the reason text messaging exists*. The first text (SMS) message was sent by Vodafone UK in 1992 - where + when this conversation was happening - and then for a long time it was supported exclusively for 'messages from the carrier', and this project was an early potential extra use of the SMS protocol.

So Yeh, building for disability is kinda handy..

Damn “straight” 😌

[bowuigixxlwoofia]

I love how the movie low key references how sassy Luigi can be with his posing antics.

It’s funny how he’s like this only with Mario.

Adding more to this:

[smallmariofindings]

An extremely bizarre glitch may occur during the final battle in Princess Peach: Showtime. The screen may become frozen, but only regarding the in-game scene; the overlay consisting of the text that captions the cutscene, as well as the sound, will continue playing.

This almost creates the wrong impression of the cutscene being intended to be this way, since it is extremely unusual for the action on screen to freeze while captions are still continued to be displayed normally, and may take a while for the player to realize this is a glitch.

No Quarry on Homestead

Southwest Allen County neighbors opposing a proposed quarry, asphalt plant, and concrete plant on Homestead Road.

Hey, someone is trying to add a quarry next to medical centers, neighborhoods, schools, and wildlife areas that SUPPORT AND PROTECT ENDANGERED SPECIES. I need help getting the word out. I know that there are lot of cool people here, like researchers, human beings, animal lovers, teachers, doctors, writers, hyper-fixation heroes, and specialists on tumblr, so I hope that this reaches them.

Even if you can't help petition the quarry or provide insight about the topics related to this, can you please share this? The community needs help spreading awareness and reaching researchers who are knowledgeable about topics related to this, such as wildlife and the rules and regulations that protect them, as well as information about quarries.

The quarry location will impact a lot of residents. (Dust right next door to a medical center, foundational damage to 3 different housing zipcodes, potential risk to nearby underground water because we are dealing with mining limestone, which does not handle weathering and rain impact well, multiple schools, etc.) Also, there are meetings on May 19th and May 26th, so if you can come, please do so. (The website should have more information on that.) We need all of the support that we can get. (Yes, this is the same city that thought that a large sports stadium would be great to pair with a one lane roundabout and a very small amount of parking space. Please send help.)

thanks man

headcanon + fic idea,

Luigi finds out he is allergic to a specific edible power-up (the regular Super Mushroom for irony)

(bc i will project everything i have to Luigi in some form and no one can stop me!)

He's never been a picky eater, he's just an eater, you've seen how he gobbled that cupcake in one go. Bro would try anything he can put in this mouth, even if he shouldn't, like a dirty rock or a dino eyeball.

"I like mushrooms, I'll take it!" Luigi said.

In fairness, his body hasn't had any bad reactions to Earth foods. He can digest easily and quickly too, the most fat he has gained was from eating a whole basket of sweets but even that got burned with his high metabolism within seconds.

So who would have thought, a Power-Up that's supposed to make you stronger, would be his one weakness.

[knighted-princess]

That is such an interesting concept!

Today is the day! I have a friend flying in🛬 and we're going out to the movies tonight!!! 🍿We'll get all dressed up for the premiere. And then the next day will be my birthday, so we'll go out for adventures around the city! I've been looking forward to this; it'll be the best birthday ever, woohoo!

[suedoodle]

I was dumb and hurt my drawing thumb yesterday. So out of curiosity, I thought I'd try drawing with my non-dominant hand ✍️

I mean... it's not greeeeaat, but could've been worse. I can still visualize the idea; other hand is just terribly uncoordinated.
