Literally living the best i can

the first time i heard the phrase “i need that like a hole in the head” it didn’t even occur to me that many people don’t live with passive suicidal ideation at all times so i just assumed it was a way of saying that you really really needed something and i have continued to use it that way ever since

I’m reading this book about the changing arctic and the author stayed with the Nunamiut people of inland alaska for a while and talked to this high school kid who was like “ugh I hate going to school in the spring I wish I was hunting caribou” and I thought that was charming. you often hear about people who are devoted to preserving their traditional culture and knowledge but it’s rare to hear about someone who’s invested in the old ways out of pure teenage selfishness. school is lame and hunting caribou is awesome

whenever the conversation about difficulty and accessibility in games come up i want to slam my head into a wall because noone thats speaking has anything more than a surface level understanding of what "difficulty" even is

your game should have accessibility options, but if your only accessibility options are "turn off central game mechanics" then you have made shit accessibility options.

bonus points: if you put a game speed slider in your game you can also allow Absolute Fucking Freaks to turn it higher than 100%

lesbian scifi is so easy. here’s a woman in cargo pants and a tank top on a spaceship. are you with me

maybe it’s not even cargo pants. maybe it’s coveralls rolled to + tied around the waist. maybe she even has fuckoff boots

What the hell happened to the energy around gender neutral bathrooms. Remember when we were fighting for all bathrooms to be gender neutral. But now we can barely argue that people can use the gendered bathroom of their choice. Maybe there's some single stall bathroom tucked away in a basement somewhere.

The other thing about the fuckass single stall bathroom is that it's usually also the only accessible bathroom. Because fuck disabled people too.

You'd think that if we had our shit together, properly designed multi-stall bathrooms would be the standard in new buildings. New buildings that are meant to be used for decades at a minimum. But because our society is useless we still have stalls with huge gaps around the door and broken latches.

It feels like we gave up on improving bathrooms sometime in the eighties.

Also what the hell is up with the "accessible" stalls you can't turn a wheelchair around in. They're so small you can't even close the door, and at that point why even have stalls. Just have everyone piss and shit on a plank with holes in it like the Romans did.

Only people with mobility issues should be allowed to become architects and interior designers.
