information is the key

Their parents are leftists, open minded, pro LGBTQ+, learned to use the right pronouns (to their face at least) all that jazz.

Their Auntie grew up in a remote area, little old fashioned, doesn't really "get" the non binary thing, and hasn't quite got the hang of the singular 'they' yet. But she tries.

When my cousin got injured and couldn't drive their parents shrugged and told them to quit their job.

Their Auntie drove them to and from work every day until they got their cast off.

Which family member do you think they'll ask next time they need help?

Option One: “Today is a day of mourning,” the president reads out, looking solemn. “Today, we mourn the hundreds of people who have perished in the cold, and our hearts go out to those still trapped in disaster areas with no heat or electricity.”

Option Three: “Breaking News: 5 fatalities from freak winter cold wave”

Option Two: “…I think I’m going to stay inside and put some wood on the fire.”

Option Three: “Oh, shit, that’s cold. Well, at least we have heat. Electricity bill’s gonna be crazy. Hey, Mom, do you have anyone with you? God, the drive to work’s gonna be hell.”

Option Four: “…Well, guess I’m wearing a coat and extra fuzzy socks today. Hope we didn’t get more than a foot of snow.”

Option Five: “Hold up, it was -40? I thought it was -30. That explains why I kicked a telephone pole and it cracked in half. Hurt like a bitch, since I wasn’t wearing shoes. Don’t worry, I was wearing socks, there’s snow out.”

Option Six: Can I have that in Fahrenheit/Check answers

"I don't know, you're wearing a mask."

"How about now?"

"You're kinda mid, tbh" or "I don't have time for questions" are both valid responses

a few others that you can learn on the fly:

-vine staff

-medkit

-rocket

-hyperlaser if you can aim decently

-slingshot if you can aim decently and stay in the air

Ok, maybe the title was a bit silly, but I wanted to make a separate post about this. I am a blind writer and sensitivity reader (you can find my rates on my blog). I was making a post about making your content accessible for blind people when I came across this and wanted to share.

YouDescribe is a website and mobile app that allows volunteers to describe YouTube videos for the blind. It seems to prioritize recipe and educational videos, although there are fun videos in the ever-growing library as well. There is also a wishlist volunteers can choose from.

Intimacy, it turns out. Selena cared about intimacy, and kink was a way for her to be intimate with others. Intimacy and sex are not the same. Intimacy can be in service of sex or sex can be in service of intimacy, or they can be completely separate..."

Oh my god-
