My take is that "forced diversity" in media very much isn't a real thing but there is a trend of diversity with 0 thought put into how characters' identities affect them & if it makes any fucking sense what they're doing in the story. And also everybody forgot what tokenism is
Like that thing where somebody's trying to write an oppression allegory with nonhuman races but there are also humans in it and you can't have all your humans being white so then they have like a black person calling an elf a slur or something. Why this
Every time I have to sit through a blue person explaining racism to poc because somebody didn't think very hard about their scifi/fantasy setting I just think to myself... why are they doing that
my pain scale invention. it goes from 0-16. you fill it out like this:
i made this because i find pain to be a multifaceted thing that influences me in different ways. i can accomplish lots of small tasks while in pain but that doesnt mean i can move around or even think clearly. its name is the goldstein expanded pain index or gepi. you can use it if you want. or not.
[Image ID: The first image is a set of 4 concentric circles divided into quarters. Each quarter segment has a label. Left to right and top to bottom they read: "intensity of pain," "difficulty thinking/communicating," "difficulty moving around," and "difficulty accomplishing tasks."
The second image is the same chart template, now filled out by coloring in red some of the quarter-circle segment slices from the center outward. In this example, "intensity of pain" has been rated a 1, "difficulty thinking/communicating" is at 2, "difficulty moving" is at 3, and "difficulty accomplishing tasks" is at 1 (giving a total score of 7 out of 16). /end ID]
I'm a survivor of the terror attacks who lived 4 blocks east of the World Trade Center. I lost my home that day, spent years homeless and destitute, and I carry a Zadroga Act diagnosis of 9/11-connected PTSD. If anyone who's doing this RP needs character coaching or if you need help with authentic scenarios, I'm available for consulting services at reasonable rates. DM me here or leave your number on the men's room wall at any leather bar and it'll get to me in 24 hours. Happy 9/11 y'all, and remember fireworks are unsafe and illegal in most jurisdictions.
i think everyone needs to get into wildlife identification it's like a minigame for real life

What do you mean
“if no art makes you feel anything, make your own art and feel something” is too raw of a line to have come from a jenna marbles video of her painting a rainbow/polka dot seahorse saying “it’s seahorse time” on a denim jacket
Why do you people feel profound thought has to come from high places? The gutter looks at the stars too
not only did you prove your point, but you showed an example of it in the same sentence
You wouldn’t understand

wow players having to stand in lines for a quest because a relevant npc can only talk to one player at a time. is the funniest image on the planet
i need to correct this: wow classic doesn’t have any npcs that can only talk to one player at a time. these lines actually formed for a quest npc that players had to kill to complete the objective. knowing that i think this image is even funnier.
Literally this
