Mischief, mayhem and fandoms

[comic of a Tears of the Kingdom korok quest. Link holds up a backpacker korok with ultrahand, squinting at the distance. He says, "That's your friend, at the bottom of the hill?" Down a long slope of a slot canyon, a smoke signal is visible. The korok says, "Yep! I can't wait to catch up!" Link flings him down the hill while he says "I need to reach my friend!" Link glides down above the korok as he bounces down the hill. An explosion goes off next to Link and as the korok rolls to a stop he lands, looking up and yelling, "Who's throwing bombs?!" Link looks back as another square bomb lands right next to the korok. Link stares at it, blank-faced, thinking "is that bad", and then "can he die" The bomb glows, about to go off, and Link scrambles to engage ultrahand and whips the korok away just as the bomb goes off. The korok says "help!" and then "kaboom!!" finally, there is a sketch of the korok and his friend at their tent, link relaxing next to them, exhausted]

based on a true story 💥

hey writers if you want to make a metaphor for racism, please maybe remember that racism is literally based on nothing. Africans weren’t enslaved en masse because the Robo-Musa threatened to destroy the world, they were enslaved because it was economically rewarding and politically convenient. If at any point your allegory for racism includes “so <oppressed group> did this major catastrophe and” then you have not only missed the point but you are literally reinforcing the ideas that racism have let racism self-perpetuate (that e.g. black people are naturally dangerous and violent and must be contained or begrudgingly accepted by the Nice White People)

I Hate This Place (2022) #6

There is also the "if you get bottom surgery you are lowering your value" shit. idk if trans men get it that much but as a trans woman, you sorta get both? if you like ur dick that's a problem, if you dislike it you're mutilating yourself.

oh for sure, the things people say abt ftm bottom surgery are horrendous. but ppl who don’t get bottom surgery are also disparaged bc “man with pussy” is essentially a meme at this point. and having your existence be a joke really hurts. the whole “mutilation” thing seems to be a common thread for most gender affirming surgeries.

haven't played rain world yet but i enjoy a rotund beast

AND

WE’RE

BACK!

Episode 7 was CURSED, but it’s here and it’s ready! We’re hoping to get back on track with episode 8 coming at ya at break-neck speed. That is, the speed of Simon’s broken neck. Or Grimbles. Yeah…. Faster than that.

FIND US ON THE MOONSHOT NETWORK!

Our apologies for any minor audio issues; we did our best to clear the background sounds of Miles chomping on blankets, but ultimately decided it was more important to get the episode out that re-record again.

Saw someone argue that opposing AI art is ableist because this is the only way for some disabled people to make art afjagjsfh. Disabled people have been making art since the dawn of time and because making art is so varied there will always be tons of ways to create despite disability that doesn’t involve ripping artists off by using AI art

Disabled people are honestly so brave for not killing annoying ppl every day I swear to god the disrespect

#frida kahlo didnt paint exclusively from her bed for months while in extreme chronic pain from several injuries #for 'ai is the only way for disabled people to make art' to be an argument #TELL THAT TO MATISSE #Christy Browne #GOYA #beethoven was DEAF and still wrote music #a whole host of artists in the 80s continued creating while actively dying of AIDS #how dare people make this argument istg (via @morethanonepage)

Joni Eareckson Tada has been paralyzed from the neck down since she was 17

Sarah Biffin was a Victorian-era painter of miniature portraits who was born without arms or legs. She taught herself to write, sew, and paint using her mouth (like Joni), and was pretty damn successful for herself as she was even commissioned by the royal family. Here's a self-portrait she did:

In my opinion, someone generating AI art is a curator, not an artist. The art is being produced by an AI, and a human selects what creations they want to show to others. As a disabled artist myself, its really fucking rude to act like disabled people can't create anything new ourselves, as if we don't have anything of our own to add to the world.

im expecting a lot of "pride month is over, now it's time for wrath month" posts. that's cool and all. but july is disability pride month.

pride month is when you're SUPPOSED to be angry. it's a celebration AND a riot. that was the best time to get angry. second best time is now. but it's not wrath month. let disabled people have this.

please get angry with us. please fight with us! we are both losing our rights, if we ever even had them to begin with. please don't talk over us, especially during our own pride month.

did you know over 10,000 people die a year while waiting to be told whether or not they can receive disability benefits?

did you know while being provided disability benefits, disabled people cannot have more than $2,000 total in their bank account? the average rent for an apartment in the united states, as of last month, is $1,995. per month.

while they want to kill queer people, they want to kill disabled people just as bad. please look out for your disabled friends and family. please look out for those of us who don't have friends and family. those of us who are out on the streets.

Only $24k/$100,000 raised

Tumblr, buddy, listen to me. This is an unprecedented opportunity. You can snap up all of the pie here, and become defacto internet goodguy easy. All you gotta do is... drop the nsfw ban. Unambiguously. Announce that dicks are back on the menu. You want people subscribed the blogs? You want people to actually use your Post+ function? Porn. Let us use it for porn. The youngins aren't joining this site anyway, you're not competing with tiktok. The vaguely horny 20-40 demographic though? You can have that. You can have all of that. Think about it.

Do you know how many pinup artists alone are itching to come back to tumblr, but dont because of the unclear, seemingly arbitrary application of your nsfw policy? These are insanely talented people who are practically begging to give you content. For free. But you gotta change the policy. We can't keep dancing around this. Just think of publicity. The drama. A complete 180. You'd kill it tumblr. You could make it happen. Please.

Wanderer's Journal (pt. 5)

I don't really have much to say on these, other than the fact that Hornet seems to only attack those who are a threat to breaking the seals, aka Quirrel and Ghost. Explains why so many travelers were able to get into Hallownest without being attacked- she just didn't care enough to dispatch them, most likely because they'd either be killed by husks or taken by the infection. Hallownest does its own work defending itself

STOP MAKING ME FEEL OLD

Okay, but this is genuinely adorable. I love how the first kid, after entering the number, was like “what do I do now?”. I bet the kid was trying to figure out where the “call” button was, because if you’re only used to cell phones, it’s not really intuitive that the call will automatically go through once you finish entering the phone number

These days, the concept of a dial tone is rather obsolete for a cellphone-centric world, so it isn't a surprise these girls are young enough to be unfamiliar with it or the hookswitch. Only place you see traditional telephones are in office buildings and older homes that still use it. When dial service was introduced, the Bell System had to put together instructional films to educate telephone users. So many people were used to being able to pick up and tell the operator who to call for them, so you had to suddenly learn where to find phone numbers. They didn't even have pushbuttons telephones yet, just rotary dial.

That’s so fun! How we circle back on ourselves! This is so wholesome

Hello! Disabled person here. Did you know those of us declared legally disabled and collect SSI and benefits are barred from getting married? Yep! I'm also queer so this isn't hate at all, it's a call to action: if you love marriage equality, come help us fight for ours.
