Just a little thing with feathers...

I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.

Salute to our troops (70s careerwomen who put their hard-earned dollars into homemade gay erotica)

Boss make a dollar, she makes a dime. That's why she's printing Kirk X Spock zines on company time.

And we'll do it again!!!

Who wants to see my cat totally brave and not at all scared at the vet

we as a society have GOT to accept that it is okay if we get blocked. you do not have the right to interact with every single person on the internet. "but then i can't interact with their content" yes that is the point "but i didn't do anything" no one owes you an explanation and you don't have to have "done something" to be blocked. let it go

Please return us to a world where Notp and squick are used for a ship you don’t like instead of just making up a load of bullshit about how immoral it is or w/e lol 

bring the healthy fun back to fandom!

the medieval peasant is a sort of mythological archetype that mostly exists to win arguments about the problems with modern society

There's quite literally a grocery store two doors down from me. A round trip for milk takes less than 10.

It's possible to have multiple people's needs met in a 15-minute-city. It's possible to have a walkable city that also caters to disabled people's needs. Wellington and it's inner suburbs are pretty close to a 15 minute, walkable city. We also have dairies in most places (corner stores) that cover things like the basics plus snacks and drinks etc. But I can't walk anywhere anymore due to chronic pain. I can however get groceries delivered in either large or small amounts. It should be cheaper than it is, but it's not too rough for me - a fortnightly shop gets delivered to my door for $9. A small top-up delivery is $7 or less. I do think if your big grocery shop is over a certain amount they should deliver it to you for free - they're making enough profits off us to factor that small amount in. If I had a mobility scooter, I could get to my local dairy, down to my doctor's surgery, to my local library, to a cinema, to most things I need. The only thing I struggle with is getting to and from work, but I work on the far side of town to where I live, and it's up in a very hilly suburb. I can't walk to the bus stop near home any more, but I can get to a bus stop in town in a rideshare for less than $10, and then catch a bus that drops me at the door of my workplace. I catch the bus down into town after work and then rideshare home for around $6-$7. I'm lucky enough to be able to afford this cost because I have a free bus pass. To catch the bus without a bus pass from the closest stop to my house would cost me $$60-$70 per week. To use rideshare to and from an accessible bus stop usually costs me another $20ish per week on top of what paying for the bus would cost, maximum. I'm good at playing discount codes between apps, sometimes I can get my weekly transport spend under $70. I looked at using a disability driving service but it was more than double the price of rideshare apps, even with a Total Mobility card! It's not impossible for 15 minute cities to be accessible. Low public transport costs, low delivery costs, accessible footpaths and crossings, affordable rideshare costs, plenty of drop off/pick up spots in busy areas, public toilets, etc etc are all doable. It just needs the community to demand it and those in power to put it into place.
