All The Abernants Are Autistic, But Until Adaine They Were All Really Really Good At Masking And Could

@emiko-matsui i love this idea

So if you're in the UK you have probably heard about the proposed changes to disability benefits. If not, here is a BBC News article (link) about it, and the Big Issue (link) have been running basically non-stop articles about it since the announcement.

Crucially, the government is holding a consultation. Will as many of us as possible weighing in change the outcome? Possibly, though it's far from guaranteed. Will not filling it in help the situation in the slightest? No. So let's all have a go.

You can find the full Green Paper here: (link) and the options to respond are at the bottom of it, including the link to respond online, which is also here: (link)

It's also always worth contacting your MP to let them know what you think, if only to get a response on fancy Commons stationery. You can find your MP here: (link)

So, have at it, UK folks! (These proposals don't apply to Northern Ireland as benefits are transferred, but they are still taking NI comments and sharing them with the Department for Communities, so you may be able to influence whether this approach is taken up in NI in future, too)

And if nothing else, please reblog!

DUNGEON MASTER BRENNAN LEE MULLIGAN ANSWERS DnD QUESTIONS (TECH SUPPORT | WIRED)

Can’t find this anywhere on tumblr so I’m being the change I wanna see in the world

I want to see a magical girl anime where instead of a gorgeous, colourful sequin-filled transformation sequence, it’s shot and sound designed like a werewolf movie.

We see the protagonist and her ragtag group of pals who’ve been conforming to the genre up until this point, face up to the villain of the week as the main character starts to give an empowering speech about the power of friendship then halfway through fall to the ground in pain. A strangled scream bubbles from her lips as her friends join her on the ground, panting and writhing. We hear bones pop and sinew tear as they begin to emit a sickening glow and the villain steps back, clearly not expecting this. As a hand reaches out from the glowing pile of bodies and the villain turns to run, we see what horror they’ve become: The same group of young women but with snazzier outfits and hair to represent their individual powers and personality. They are also marginally taller. The speech continues like nothing happened and the villain throws up and surrenders immediately.

This sequence happens every episode.
