support creators and fight for minority rights B)

Yeah chatbots suck off rip, rping with a Gojo bot is bad and if you wanna rp you go and engage with people with common interests and yes it's scary but connecting with people is scary in general and at the very least you have a shared interest with this person. That's why you're role-playing with them in the first place.

But god I am especially disgusted by how shameless this one especially is. The fact that it outright advertises and encourages its targeted demographic (people in fandom especially teens) to fucking recreate their mutuals in that godawful app WHO ARE REAL FUCKING PEOPLE IS ACTUALLY VILE

"Who needs friends when you can just talk to a bot who oh so obviously knows you better than anybody in real ever could?"

"Have an oc but nobody wants to listen to you talk about them? WHY NOT JUST TALK TO THEM YOURSELF MAKE YOUR OC YOUR NEW FRIEND :3"

"Why wait for your mutual who is being selfish by not letting you talk to them when you're up at 3am and they're clearly sleeping? JUST RECREATE THEM IN OUR APP. MAKE THE PERFECT OBEDIENT MUTUAL TODAY!"

It's so blatantly targeting those of us who do feel insecure about these things, those of us who are afraid to talk publicly about our interests and are terrified of so much as even mentioning we have ocs. It's blatantly targetting those of us who always second guess whether or not to reach out to mutuals we find cool or are intimidated by, it's preying on people's insecurities and further enforcing that shit by making these bots seem more appealing than actual human connections with all of it's necessary faults. It wants those of us who already feel lonely to be even lonelier so that they can get addicted to their app of which they proudly advertise under a cutesy #relatable aesthetic alongside uncredited stolen art of some random ass trending character.

some but not all cool things nobody ever thinks of:

put hand sanitizer or a sink in the accessible bathroom stall, or alcohol wipes outside of it. people who cannot use their legs have to use unwashed hands to roll to the sink, and people who can use their legs are afraid to walk out of stalls because they get harassed and even assaulted.

enough space for wheelchair in doorway…AND ARMS. HOW DO YOU THINK THE WHEELCHAIR MOVES! if I cannot roll through it without scraping my arms it is not accessible

brick paths suck the end

gravel paths suck. make it smooth

a ramp is not accessible if it is too steep. not every wheelchair user is ripped enough or capable of using muscles enough to propel themselves up a steep angle safely. some wheelchair users have heart issues. you want heart attacks? this is how you get them

perfect 90 degree turns suck and are often impossible to turn through

some wheelchairs have foot rests. account for them

wheelchair accessible means wheelchair accessible while alone. if you expect someone to have to be helped out to use your facility, that is not acceptable or accessible

There isn’t adequate space to open the door while in a wheelchair.

Your door is impossible to close while in a wheelchair.

Your door requires a weirdly high amount of hand dexterity.

Your door is too heavy. It’s so stiff. It’s impossible to see someone struggling with it and people open it into the wheelchair user from the inside because it’s too heavy and they didn’t see them there.

Basically, people are using their key fobs to set off their car alarms when they see ICE.

This is effective for several reasons:

Obviously, it alerts everyone that something is wrong. Given ICE has been terrorizing Minnesota, people are likely to immediately know it is ICE. This gives people time to flee or barricade themselves in their homes.

ICE loses the element of surprise.

Busted in a lie.

I want you to take in every sentence. Every word. Take in in the number. It is not 100, or 1,000, or 10,000. It is 100,000. One hundred thousand people are killed by the RSF (Rapid Support Forces) in Al Fashir! One hundred thousand! How much longer can this go on? Until the death toll is a million?

Enough is enough. Please talk about Sudan. Talk about Al Fashir. We need a permanent ceasefire right now! Boycott the UAE, donate to fundraisers and grassroots organizations, and protest in the streets! Consider helping Eman (@emiiii980) in the meantime. She has been raising funds for her family, but we have not achieved the goal, so she has returned with a new fundraiser! She is supporting other families, as well! So kindly give her what you can and share with everyone you know! Her fundraiser has been shared by @/el-shab-hussein here. [A friendly reminder to keep in mind with the currency exchange! $10 USD = $13 CAD!].

Please donate here.

Tagging for reach. Please share if you see this. Thank you
