Neopian Apologies

like i do believe you when you tell me it is distractingly and upsettingly uncomfortable when your leg hair is growing out, and i do not think you should be prevented from shaving. but like, you should probably stop and consider why it is that, when you started developing body hair, you got acclimated to the sensation of shaving rather than getting acclimated to the sensation of having body hair.

i am a trans women who, for ADHD and sensory reasons, really struggles to shave my body and facial hair. and let me tell you i have much much worse issues than online feminists being mean about women who shave their legs.

i would rather see the information for an event handwritten in sharpie on a paper towel than see another AI generated flyer

Saving this post to show my boss who I told the AI flier makes us look lazy and ignorant, and offered to hand draw one. She still printed tons of ai fliers and I'm tempted to make a better one just because it annoys me so much.

Fun update: event was canceled because literally nobody rsvp'd to the AI flier.

Languages tend to peak at their word for butterfly. Never seen 2 that are the same, either. Papillon. Mariposa. Borboleta. Fluture. Vlinder. Schmetterling. Pillangó. Babochka. Farfalla. Sommerfugl. Perhonen. Farasha. Titali. Chōchō. Nabi. Húdié. Buom buom. Great job guys, i really mean it.

never forget what's really important: approval from pervert women on the internet

Cisgender women have systemic power over transgender women.

the thing is that the way people treat trans women they don't like is that the behavior they're engaging in is like as old as (and even older than) the modern generation of transphobic backlash against the trans liberation moment

is it 'difficulty-focused' game design or is it ableism

i dont know about you but i think certain singleplayer games not having the ability to pause [looking at you fromsoft] or customize the difficulty and/or make it more visually accessible [looking at you, fromsoft and toby fox], OR putting in unremovable QTEs [looking at you, clair obscur] is extremely ableist. i dont think such game devs want me to 'git gud', i think they just hate me because i happen to have a disability that prevents me from having the reaction time/visual acuity required to play their games 'properly'.

It's more that the concerns of disabled people don't really cross the minds of game developers frequently

huh interesting i wonder if there's a word for that
