day 6 / ???

[bakurapika]

this is really interesting in how it frames disability/low spoons/etc as not being a series of internal symptoms, but specifically a situation in which daily tasks increase in complexity. for example i used to be able to wash the dishes normally. but now mental and physical issues combine to make that situation have a lot of prequalifications (do I have time, energy, how long can I do it without being sore the next day) that means many more steps are involved in getting that single physical act of washing a dish to be done.

[rockshitty]

I’m trying to remember the quote. “On a good day, doing laundry is three steps. On a bad day, the first step is getting out of bed.”

i think there is a difference between a knowingly flawed character and a thematically uncomfortable character and knowing the difference is half the battle

[tartaeya]

knowingly flawed character: this character has traits that the author deliberately put in to show they have nuance and aren't perfect as a person. this will put them at odds with some readers and endear them to others, depending on them as people, and that's good!

thematically uncomfortable character: oh boy the author has some Beliefs

[t0bib0bi]

i whole heartedly believe that grace being alone at the bar on the last night before the crew went into space solidified how stratt and others around him saw his life

from outside perspective he looks isolated, unhappy, and lonely. especially in comparison to everyone around him. most people are laughing, smiling, and chatting. they're also not alone. they have other people they're enjoying their time with. in comparison to grace, they're having a much better time if held to conventional standards.

but that's where people, especially stratt, misunderstood him til the very end. just because he was alone, and wasn't enjoying his time as outwardly as other people, doesn't mean that he wasn't actually having fun. it doesn't mean that he wasn't apart of the moment. it doesnt mean that he wasn't apart of the comradery.

which by extension, is how they viewed his life. just because he lived a conventionally lonely life, people believed that he didn't live a good one. that, by some weird logic, his life held less meaning.

ryland grace had a good life. he loved his job. he loved earth. he loved his students.

but that didn't matter to people in the grand scheme of things. he was still sitting alone at the bar. that's all they saw.

I wish people were as scared of getting into a car accident as they are of being true crime'd. Maybe then they wouldn't be on their phones while driving.

[sundae-meringue]

True crime girlies will be like "wtf I would never go for a walk at night, what if the hash slinging slasher gets me" and then use their knees to merge with no turn signal in front of a semi while applying makeup with both hands

resurrected dead wife watching her own montage: wow I looked so hot in that

[what-even-is-thiss]

I still like the term parental unit that we used to use as a joke in middle school and high school. Did everyone else do that or was it just a my social circles thing?

Anyways telling the kids to go collect their parental units at the end of an event is a) funny b) gender neutral and c) just refers to the person currently doing your parenting

Also if you’re on joking terms with your parents “greetings, child” “greetings, parental unit” is a top tier greeting. Makes you sound like robot aliens.

You all need to hear this:

1. You probably dont suck at your craft as much as you think you do, I bet a lot of people are amazed at what you can make, and

2. If you actually are the Literal Worst In The Whole Wide World at your craft... who the fuck cares? What are they gonna do, call the police on you? Keep making your shitty little things, youre the boss of you, fuck the haters.

[nagasriel]

Artfight reminders now that the event is close !

This is an art GIFTING game ! Do not attack people expecting revenges. You do not owe anyone revenges !

Always COMMENT on every attack you receive ! It doesnt have to be a big wall of text for as long as you thank whoever draws for you, it's the bear minimum :] (note: if an attack is malicious just report and block)

Enjoy and have fun ! Artfight is a fun event meant to spend a good time. Do not feel pressured into doing lot of attacks !

Make sure to read one's permissions ! Everyone cares about their boundaries so please respect them. If you're unsure just ask !

STAY HYDRATED AND TAKE CARE !! It's really hot in some countries so remember to drink water, take a break every now and then, stretch if you're sitting for a while and go outside a bit :]

Hey, did y'all see this?

I saw this when running newpipe. But wait, it gets deeper. I clicked on the details buttons and it said as of today, we have 83 days left until Google rolls out this new requirement for apps inside and outside of the google play store. If any developer disagrees with their new terms and fees, they will be blocked!

I'll share some of the info below:

Looks like they're trying to nuke the remaining privacy and freedoms we have left on the internet.

What to do?

-Get your developer friends to not comply to their new guides

- Sign the open letter on the site and take action by checking out the full resources list on their website as well!

To summarize, this is all daunting especially when you feel all alone with unfair and inhumane regulations comming out faster than improvements but we got this working together!

Share the link with your friends, family and anyone who will listen!

Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.
