one of those minor little peeves of mine is when people type "ya'll"

like, it's not "you a'll" wtf

though i can possibly see an argument made for like... "ya" + "all" minus the a in "all", since it slurs together anyway

but still!

I’ve been sitting on some spidersona designs since 2019, but I couldn’t decide on one, so I threw both Hel & Shira (ocs) into the Spider-Verse instead :]

+bonus scrapped designs I did for Shira & some lil sketches

i like how most usernames on discord are already taken so you end up having to put numbers at the end of your name anyway. if only there was already a system in place that allowed people to have the same name but there was something to differentiate them like number discriminators

this is because it was not actually about the discriminators. discord lied about how many people struggled with the previous system because, in actuality, it was some higher-up types that didn’t get it. there was some theorising somewhere that the change is ti facilitate datamining, which would make sense as there’s no other reason to try to make people this perfectly identifiable.

btw as it stands they’re not allowing ppl to ever change their users again so DO NOT pick a bullshit name hoping you’ll get your preferred name later. once it’s in use, it’s not fucking available.

so far, the main thing to do is to reach out thru discord’s support page to tell them how bad a fucking idea is, stop paying for nitro, and have a look at this support thread, which has insanely comprehensive information sources. there’s a change.org petition somewhere in there, too.

but yeah. tl;dr the “nobody understands discriminators <:(” is a distraction.

id really recommend people read the support thread linked here if you have the time. if you think this username thing is just people being upset over nothing then the support thread will inform you of the concerns people have

I looked it up, and the distance for the train is around 517 miles, for 6 hours

Earlier this year I took a train on the west coast of the US, which is some of the better rail in the country, and it was around 800 miles, less than twice the distance, but it took me 30 hours (five times as long), in addition to costing almost $100, two and a half times as much.

And I got super lucky with living right near a station and the place I wanted to go having a station right nearby that was all part of one trip, in most of the US it’s way less accessible.

We used to have cities built for walking and public transit before car and oil companies conspired and took this away from us (and I use that word literally, look up the General Motors streetcar conspiracy) but it has not been this way forever and it will not be this way forever, we can change it and rip up these freeways and parking lots that have dug into our communities and torn them apart

This is sweet and hopeful and I need that right now. ❤️
