I’m too slow - Eli Lilly is apparently thinking about suing over this one:

I don’t understand sonic. Why didn’t he just use his skills at being fast to hurt Eggman until he dies

I think the best oblivion modern AU is one in which nothing is happening and martin is Just Some Guy. Adjunct professor whose shady cult past was being involved with some chaos magick hacker coven back in the 90s, then he had a Greek Orthodox phase but his heart wasn't in it. Instead of the Xarxes he is addicted to reading awful twitter takes. The HoK analogue cannot be trusted with a driver's license but Martin can, which gives him god-emperor-like powers, but he wields them fairly and generously. Drinks way too much coffee

computer viruses are the modern equivalent of daedric artifacts. the analogue for bringing him the sanguine rose is finding a floppy disk containing a single .exe file that deep-fries your shit with a zillion graphic nude popups before flashing to a laughing pixel skull that blasts thrash metal and displays the text "you have been pwned by doctor_bongripper" and he's like oh god what fucking archeological dig site did you find this in. I was doctor_bongripper

boooooooo i hate when educational nature videos call animals that dont do crazy shit "primitive". a slug isnt primitive. it literally does not need to be any more than what it already is. why would a slug need agriculture or complex forms of communication. it has no need for what we think of as "advanced". it loves to eat dead leaf and sleep in flower pot. a slug is so cool

this is a reminder that not all tools used for health issues are easily recognizable, especially to able-bodied people.

the knee socks i wear everyday compress my shins and feet so that blood doesn’t pool in them. i really only use my apple watch to track my heart rate and HRV. the flavoring i add to my water was recommended by my doctor to help hydrate me and treat autonomic neuropathy. the rings i wear on my fingers are actually there to prevent dislocations and allow me more dexterity.

i’m sure there are plenty more examples that people with other conditions could offer.

my powerchair is my livelihood, yes, but it is not the only tool i need for accommodation. i also need my socks, and my rings, and my watch.

if you are able-bodied, (and especially if you have power in any institution,) and somebody tells you they need something for their disability, LISTEN TO THEM! you are not educated enough to dictate what helps somebody with their condition.
