I post a lot about my various artistic endeavors, books I'm reading, and images that delight me. I'm a multimedia artist who does basically every medium except fiber arts, but that won't stop me from trying from time to time. I particularly like dolls and model making.
I don't care to label my politics but the stuff that'll come up on here are worker's rights/unions, disability and gender liberation, and specifically disability justice in relation to education. I am intersectional in my politics, and I don't engage with call outs/online drama/that kinda chicanery. I have nuanced takes on large language models that boil down to generally negative, so don't expect anything artificially generated here.
My commissions are open [link] nearly always, inquire within.
My website/neocities is moveimbadger.com and I really aught to use it more.

I got kicked out of the SCP foundation after wasting over 80 million dollars to contain an artifact that I genuinely thought was incredibly dangerous. It was a set of candles in a gold frame, which never burnt down and could not be extinguished. Just weird, right?
(reposting of a formerly-twitter thread where I made up an SCP fanfic joke, under the readmore)
That's what we all thought and it was simply kept in a safety glass box in one of the many warehouses of weird things, until The First Event. January, 1981, it's being moved as part of a cleanup and someone notices its changed: one of the candles is out.
We'd previously tried sticking this thing in a vacuum, under water, smothering it in CO2 or in a pile of asbestos… Nothing. You can't snuff out these candles.
And one just went off while no one is looking?
That can't be good.
So obviously we have to upgrade this thing in severity. Out of the warehouse, into a separate containment area, and we do endless tests.
Nope, we can't relight it. We tried.
But now we've got 24/7 redundant monitoring, cameras and guards, we've got water and fire and everything else on hand in case another event happens and we need to try to douse or relight it in a hurry.
And we wait. Endless beta tapes (and later, hard drives) are filled up with footage of these candles burning unchangingly. Guards get assigned to watch it and then retire a decade later, having never seen it change.
But 20 years into observation, a second candle just goes out, without any fuss.
We hit every panic button we can find.
Endless studies are done. This thing was found in a ruin in North West England? Send every researcher we can spare there. Are there any legends or folklore or stories or ANYTHING about this?
Because it took 20 years to go from 3 to 2. We can do math. If this thing is counting down at a steady pace, we have only 40 years to get ready for the last candle to go out.
And we don't know what happens then.
Maybe nothing.
Or maybe there will be nothing left.
We work backwards; we only found the candles in the 70s, but if it goes down by a candle every two decades, then maybe it was created in the early 60s? We search for any clues about what might have happened in the 1960s in Manchester and Liverpool.
I'm on the ground with another field researcher when I get a message that we're all being recalled, immediately.
No explanation.
I get back to the foundation site and all my researchers are being reassigned. My boss wants to talk to me.
I check the candle monitoring site on my phone: we're still on two. I'm confused.
I enter my boss's office. It's uncharacteristically dark. She slides me a printout, on fan fold paper still with the little dot matrix tractor holes along the sides.
It's an email.
Another researcher had a random hunch, and looked into the monitoring records, specifically as to when the second candle went out.
November 29th, 2001.
And the previous one was unknown, but happened sometime between December 1st, 1980 and mid-January 1981.
My boss asks if these dates look familiar to me, and if I listen to much music.
I think I may know. She tells me they were able to confirm the second event happened within 5 minutes of the time of death.
The candles are going back in the warehouse, and only a simple webcam will be used to monitor for the next event, just in case it proves us wrong.
And she gives me a lecture about how the purpose of the SCP Foundation is to secure, contain, and protect... From dangerous anomalous artifacts and people and places. Things that break all our scientific theories and could cause untold devastation if they get loose...
NOT A MAGIC CANDLE THAT TELLS YOU HOW MANY LIVING BEATLES THERE ARE IN THE WORLD AT THE MOMENT.
delicately navigating staying on top of emerging ideas and listening to diverse experiences in discussing autism while also not giving myself psychic damage from the sheer audacity some people have really has me feeling like
like id love to see a post about autism and immediately ignore it but I can't do that. and even though I'm not getting in arguments and never engage with OP or whatever publisher produced the post, I still am sitting there like "I actually respect nobody in this equation"
like 50% of the (I hate phrasing it this way but I want to be as broad as possible) content out there about autism is about late diagnosis adults with low support needs pulling each other down like crabs in a bucket to prove their simultaneously high support needs and also not like they eat crayons or anything
and 50% is academics saying they surveyed parents of autistic children and found out that were all spawns of Satan who should have been aborted and the DSM will now include a recommendation that we count as subhuman
wait actually 25% is that one. the last 25% is pop psychology magazines with articles like "Studies show.... autistic people are sad sometimes 😱🫣 Genetic link for rich inner lives EXPLAINED!"
like I feel like I'm living in some sort of no nuance special hell designed specifically for me. dear fucking godddd I'm beset by devils called the internet and it's opinions
I did like one proposal I saw that suggested refracturing "autism spectrum disorder" into categories that were basically autism with and without developmental delays. that seems like the best way to get a scrap of nuance in here without going back to the old Nazi science categories. though then again I don't consider myself as having clinically significant developmental delays yet I was diagnosed with them as a child and again as an adult so what do I fucking know. the only delay I have is I can't fucking drive or bike.
at least I'm mad about this rn and not trans discourse but it's disability wrath month so I gotta
gotta go to bed. goodnight. barking and growling. I need to fucking calm down

oh man ok revving up my autism discourse engines tonight I see bc another thing recently that annoyed me
I follow a lot of disability justice and educator accounts because obviously it's an interest of mine. it's my lived experience, my educational field of study, and my career.
one of them (a special education teacher) posted a video that was something like this (paraphrasing and very slightly hyperbolizing because their thing was worded a bit more subtly but I don't remember the exact words)
"I hate when I see other teachers and caretakers posting videos showing off their bite marks and scratches and bruises they get at work. it feels like you're fetishizing the injuries instead of focusing on the care and the work. that's not how I see my job at all. my classroom is full of laughter and joy and it's kind of a skill issue that you get hurt at your job because you just don't understand the students like a good teacher (me) does."
and like. sister. shut the fuck up!
genuinely!
while I agree that you do get less Aggressive Behaviors ™️ when you approach students with empathy and support, it's not zero! and the reality of the situation is sometimes the person you're taking care of or teaching can hurt you! a student I work with literally has no control over his aggression and it's not something we can just kindness and educate away, it's literally medically uncontrollable! and I recognize this and do my best to keep us both safe when that happens because I am empathetic to his situation! and it's worth talking about that as educators because often times the fact that we care for our students is leveraged by districts to withhold funding because we should be doing our work out of the kindness of our hearts and not for the money! but what other jobs are people just expected to get violently assaulted for 6 hours+ a day every day for little pay? we need to talk about this! this is a workers rights issue!
and Yanno, I can see some merit in critiquing how people talk about their workplace injuries working in special education. a lot of times you can tell that person is not approaching the student with empathy, they may speak inappropriately about the student, often in a clearly ableist way. talk about that specifically. do not tell people to suppress talking about the realities of their job.
ok rant over. I'm so glad I don't use tiktok or post my own videos about shit anywhere or even use the comments on other people's videos. I go yell in my tantrum hole until all the anger goes out and I can calm down
in an earlier post I coined the term puzzlewashed, which may not need a word for it, but I want to know if anyone else has noticed this happening. it's when very specifically, a product will be marketed explicitly towards autistic/ADHD/neurodivergent people heavily, and often manipulatively in the way that marketing usually goes. crucially, however, the product is clearly misrepresented, unnecessary, or is sold using tactics that actually prey on neurodivergent thought patterns, like FOMO on sales and User-Generated Content ads, etc. Bonus points if the product itself is either so generalized that it could really be a product for anyone regardless of their brain (like a water bottle), or is so niche to a specific need but is marketed so generally across the neurodivergent spectrum (like a gross motor adaptive tool advertised for All Neurodivergents)
To put it simply, when marketing doesn't seem to care about people with disabilities or diverse needs, but don't worry they slapped an infinity symbol or a puzzle piece on it and say it's for Neuro Spicy peeps!
a product that Isn't Puzzlewashed would be something like silicone chewies marketed as just that, no gimmicks, no saying they've Solved ADHD with these Simple Necklaces, etc. Just a product that serves its necessary niche and is aware of that.
I got an ad for this "solution to oral hygiene for autistics!" that for once wasn't that overengineered electric toothbrush. this company would sell you a subscription service for $10/month for their new special neurospicy friendly toothbrush! Or you could buy 4 months at a time for $30! act now to get this special sale price!
the brush? miswak. a twig that has fibers that are stiff enough for brushing and contains natural fluoride among other helpful compounds. miswak has been used since at least 500 BC but probably earlier. it is used all over the world, especially in muslim-majority areas, even today. it's religiously significant in some populations and has been since antiquity. it's also therefore dirt cheap to buy online.
they gentrified brushing your teeth somehow and like. puzzlewashed it

The 13th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th August 2026.
It’s short and easy, for most participants it takes 5 minutes or less.
After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.
If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful!
Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com
The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.
