Me? Run a coherent blog? Tag things? Make original content? Not here, folks.

The bulk sale of mechanical pencils is what’s wrong with this country…. To encourage the quick disposal of this elegant device that was originally conceived to be refillable and modular…. Trying desperately to recreate the ecstasy of a bouquet of freshly sharpened wooden pencils… we should each be given one mechanical pencil at birth and only given a new one if there is a fire

at the risk of repeating myself on the topic of spontaneous generation, mechanical pencils form naturally on the tile floors of buildings in which there are no beds

so SAG-AFTRA finally released some official guidance for fans, viewers, creators/influencers, critics, and more during the strike. here's what you need to know:

  1. if you see a publication/news source/journalist talking about a piece of struck work, that's ok. they're allowed to do that.

2. they're asking regular viewers and fans to DONATE TO STRIKE FUNDS, SHOW UP TO PICKETS IF YOU CAN, and please do NOT boycott streaming services or movies in theaters.

3. influencers, content creators, cosplayers, and anything in between is still a bit of a grey area, but they're asking people to use their best judgement. "organically" means UNPAID promo (like an invite to a premiere without being paid, being sent a publicity box, letting the company's social media post a photo of you in cosplay, etc).

obviously this doesn't answer every question, and isn't hard and fast rules for fanworks, but it can at least inform how you personally choose to move forward when posting online and moving publically. i hope this helps!

Replacing physical buttons and controls with touchscreens also means removing accessibility features. Physical buttons can be textured or have Braille and can be located by touch and don't need to be pressed with a bare finger. Touchscreens usually require precise taps and hand-eye coordination for the same task.

Many point-of-sale machines now are essentially just a smartphone with a card reader attached and the interface. The control layout can change at a moment's notice and there are no physical boundaries between buttons. With a keypad-style machine, the buttons are always in the same place and can be located by touch, especially since the middle button has a raised ridge on it.

Buttons can also be located by touch without activating them, which enables a "locate then press" style of interaction which is not possible on touchscreens, where even light touches will register as presses and the buttons must be located visually rather than by touch.

When elevator or door controls are replaced by touch screens, will existing accessibility features be preserved, or will some people no longer be able to use those controls?

Who is allowed to control the physical world, and who is making that decision?

Imagine actually being so evil that you'd rather make sure your writers suffer financially instead of just paying them the pay they deserve. Hell truly has some seats reserved already, holy shit.

Time to start throwing money at strike funds, y’all.

As someone who’s been on strike, more than once, it’s hard really hard. It’s especially devastating when you know your employer has decided to just walk away from the table

Even if you can’t support financially you can help by keep talking about the strike and showing support for the striking writers

The positive stories an posts online really helped me and my coworkers when we were on strike

Even the people driving by giving the friendly beeps past our picket line helped

The more public support the striking writers (any any striking workers) the more likely they are to succeed in negotiations

Hey, could you do me a favor?

Could you just RB this?

The little RB statistics chart is so pleasant and stimmy to look at and I want to see what it looks like when it gets really REALLY huge because it makes me think of some deep sea lifeform
