Thinkin About Clones

there should be a way to also block all of someone's followers when you block them

I misread this as dessert and just kind of accepted it.

“In our far distant future, you will find yourself utterly incapable of consuming some five scrumptious grains of sand. I, on the other hand…. well, I do so nightly. And I enjoy it very much.”

You may think my desert of 5 grains of sand is pathetic now- but, in many years, it will be more than you can handle

I knew there was some reason the term “neckbeard” rubbed me the wrong way, but I hadn’t thought about it enough to totally make the connection. It’s unfortunate that if I brought this sort of thing up irl, I would likely be mocked/dismissed for “making a big deal out of nothing” or “taking things too seriously”.

"neckbeards" are a common facial hair pattern for people with PCOS and hirsutism and people who go on T and people who have a lot of weight on their face. It is not funny or cool or based to use physical features as a moral attack, and especially not when it's a common feature of intersex people and trans people and fat people and countless other types of people who society already mocks.

There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.

A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.

I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.

Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)

Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for.

I need The Mechanisms fan to know about this incredibly out of pocket fact I learned about The Toy Soldier directly from source.

She then followed it up with this, so it is a metal Toy Soldier with a wooden façade so it doesn’t look like wood.

Please do with this information as you will.

surely staying awake for 36 hours straight will be the reset I need this time

TIME SENSITIVE! Help Rėlli escape Texas!

This gofundme is not mine, I am just reposting it.

If anyone has the means to donate I suggest doing so. From the gofundme:

“Hi, My name is Rėlli. I am a disabled trans person trapped in Texas that has been cut off from medical care and is becoming less safe by the day just being trans in this hellpit of a state. My current living situation has me trapped where abusive family has unrestricted access to me… I am on an extremely limited time frame. I have to get out of Texas before the end of March or my moving costs will rise dramatically and I will lose access to what few services I have access to… I have managed to get ahold of the majority of funding I need to move and secure a year of housing, but as of now I am $6k short of what I need for just housing, moving and basic survival. I am trans, autistic, physically disabled and chronically ill. I do not believe I can survive in Texas much longer and I am desperate. I hate asking for help, even more so asking for this much help, so I wouldn’t be asking if I felt I had any other options.”

Boring Fact Corner!

I'm actually primarily a traditional artist. 99.9% of what I do is pen, marker, collage, Posca, acrylic or lately even oil paint. I just don't like taking photos of my art because they never turn out well. That, and everything I post here is fanart and I don't want that stuff lying around in physical space where people I know could see it. Even though it is all very innocuous and normal art, I can be a very private person.
