#jesus.#orpheus and eurydice#as a poem#using a poll#this is probably the greatest exploitation of mediums i have ever seen op#every reader has the chance to become part of the text by voting#not the subtext#the TEXT#and i love me some ephemeral works in concept#you had to be here for this one week#and then the text is locked#(barring any edits to the original post of course)#and i just think that's so beautiful#beauty springs from the simplest things viewed askew#and all you need is a poll that accepts long enough strings (via couchcrusader)
and then THE FINAL RESULT. where “look behind” came so so so close to winning, but “i trust that she is there” came out ahead by 0.1%. so maybe, maybe, we did it right this time. maybe this time we were able to save her.
as my own direct immediate list of game grievances i hate that stardew valley expects you to side against a wheelchair user who is upset that he was moved without his consent. i hate that the mass effect trilogy gives you visible scarring as a direct result of choosing mean dialogue and heals it if you're nice. i hate that the vampire the masquerade ttrpg has a monstrous player class that can appear as horrible vampiric monsters or as visibly disabled people and both of these appearances are mechanically the same. i hate that dark souls games have a difficulty level implemented in a way that cannot be adjusted for disability. i hate that i can play as a mermaid or a werewolf or a horse in the sims games but can't use a wheelchair. i hate that the ace attorney games have so much flashing and not all of the games can disable it. i hate that disability is constantly something that happens to teach a lesson, i hate that disability is something that happens as a punishment, i hate that disability is either compensated perfectly with no drawbacks or something that is endlessly sought to be cured. i hate that no character customization will ever include the mobility aids i use, that the player avatars that represent me will never look like me. i am so goddamn annoyed and so goddamn tired.
Hey besties, new meme format just dropped <3
Made a little something
🗣️ huh?? what do you mean I haven’t posted any Link signing propaganda yet??
one time in my last job a woman came up to the register explaining that when she bought stuff a day prior the clerk forgot to scan a pair of socks worth less than €2 and it was only right for her to bring it back to the store and pay for it proper. unfortunately my manager was directly next to me at the time and took over the register to handle this serious issue. the receipt she had brought with her said which register performed the previous transaction that forgot the socks and the manager could find out who was running that till on that day. poor dude had a manager yell at him for a half hour about how much of an incompetent fuck up he was, he left the job immediately after but i couldnt tell you if he quit or was fired
i think about this moment a lot. the customer seemed like a sweet woman with only good intentions and when she paid for the socks she had a look on her face that said "i feel good because i did the right thing". and a guy lost his job because of a pair of socks. if shit like this ever happens to you and a clerk forgets to scan an item just think of it as a small blessing or that you had good luck or something. keep it.

headcanon that Crowley can't keep away from the bookshop because he likes to be extra miserable, and more often than not he ends up drunk, ranting at Muriel about everything and mostly Aziraphale. (Muriel nods at the rights places while holding a glass of wine).
At some point Crowley just make them get in the Bentley (in the backseat, with the plants) and drives while ranting. Muriel is just happy to be included.
Crowley puts sad loves songs and sings along, Muriel does the back vocals, badly and enthusiastically. They both suck.
Anyway, Crowley not being alone in his sadness, and Muriel just happy to have a (grumpy) friend.
Very Silly Concept: a show called "Accessibility Nightmares" but it's structured exactly like Kitchen Nightmares. An accessibility specialist goes to different establishments and helps them make their businesses more accessible.
The accessibility specialist asks why the door at the top of the small set of stairs has a wheelchair symbol on it. The owner replies that's the accessible bathroom. The camera zooms in on the specialist as they process this information.
A customer with a service dog comes in to a restaurant. The hostess tells them they don't allow dogs. The accessibly specialist looks over at the hostess like
And there are web accessibility episodes too. The accessibility specialist stares at the white text on the light pink background of the home page like
The specialist asks why not a single product picture has alt text, and the business owner says "Well I mean, it's makeup, why would a blind person be shopping for makeup?" The specialist just
The specialist asks the web designer how a screen reader user is supposed to complete the captcha portion of the password reset process when there is no audio alternative. The designer admits they don't know.
Heaven and organizational politics
So we all know Heaven does in fact have a lot of institutional problems. We focus on the (awful) personalities, but those personalities were created by the organization. As evidence I give you amnesiac Gabriel, who is just the sweetest slice of pie in the universe once he's forgotten everything he had to learn on order to be The Archangel Fucking Gabriel.
So here are some loosely connected musings about what we know and don't know about Heaven's organization.
reading this makes me remember the institutional bureaucracy of my parents' marriage, their organizational politics is basically being passive agressive to each other thru their children and pretending everything is fine even if it's not

hc that aziraphale used to submit vague personal ads in the newspaper to plan rendezvous w crowley. the system worked pretty well, except for that time crowley accidently met up w someone who Was Most Assuredly Not Aziraphale
Crowley, sauntering into somewhere ready to mock Aziraphale for his latest personal ad "soft middle aged man seeks evening companion. serpentine and/or reptilian features a bonus. No questions asked. Women need not apply." Because honestly Aziraphale even for you this one is *weird* and promptly turns and runs when he realized that oh no that was very much not Aziraphale.
Crowley also once responded to
“Angel will be feeding ducks at St James’ Park Monday 10am”
and he’s ready to give Aziraphale shit because that one is a bit too obvious but it turns out it’s a lovely old English woman named Angela who had a typo when she sent it to the newspaper and oh well since he was here anyway would he like to feed the ducks with her, her friend Peggy recently died and she’s just been looking for someone to feed the ducks with it used to be a regular outing for them and now she’s at such a loss- and my isn’t he a skinny one would he like a sandwich, she’s got one packed in her handbag and oh look don’t the ducks seem to like you, dear? Do you come here often?
Crowley takes the sandwich because she's very adamant about it and even though she looks like a strong enough wind would hinder her movement, there's something in her eyes that makes Crowley know better than to fight too hard. It's ham and cheese on homemade bread with a good amount of butter.
She says her name is Angela but he can call her Angie. He says his name is Anthony and he's had people call him Tony and he didn't love it but nicknames are a human thing so he tells her she can call him Tony and she gives him a once over and says he doesn't strike her as a Tony and Anthony will suit just fine, thanks.
And they feed the ducks and Angie natters on about her life and Crowley nods and makes the appropriate encouraging noises because she's actually interesting to listen to and when the bread runs out she dusts off her hands and and smiles at him and thanks him so genuinely and sincerely that Crowley tells her he could meet her here again. If she liked.
And they on and off meet every now and then until one day he and Aziraphale are there and she comes up, calling him Anthony and handing him a sandwich because she's always giving him something because honestly what do you EAT, Anthony? And Aziraphale is shocked to silence but the pair get on so well and Angie tells Aziraphale about the time Anthony tried to fight a swan that stole the bread bag right from her hand and the time he held out his hand to help her over a puddle and how she knitted him a scarf because he's all bone and must get dreadful chill.
And then just when Crowley thinks it can't get worse she reaches over and pats aziraphale's perfectly manicured hand and says "and of course he's told me so much about you, dear." And he promptly decides he needs to be elsewhere.
good omens heritage post
To expand on the crumbling of the patriarchal edifice of the family.
If society agrees that children can know themselves, and have a right to self determination…. Everything else that Conservatives argue they have a right to exert over children crumbles. As just two examples….
ALL corporal punishment rightfully becomes recognised for the assault it is.
Failure to appropriately consider the wishes of children in medical care and provide information in an age appropriate way is recognised as child abuse and malpractice.
Children are entire people, they deserve all of the rights, privileges and protections afforded to adults.
