i’ve put some thought into this one over the years and i’ve decided the best way for it not to result in a weird relationship dynamic is if i’m a fan of them as well. like maybe they’re an artist or game dev or something else i can admire them for. maybe they cured cancer idk. is this asking too much
i hope ishida-san is having fun going nuts in this episode where zura is animated so ooc beautifully and being such the butt of the joke
Today (July 19th) is Changing Places awareness day!

What is a changing places toilet?
A changing places toilet is a toilet which can be used by disabled people like me who canβt use a standard accessible toilet. This may be because someone needs extra equipment, and/or room for carers to help them. The main features of the changing places toilet are:
Why raise awareness?
The lack of changing places toilet means itβs hard for disabled people like me to leave the house. Itβs limits our ability to socialise, access work/education, exercise, travel, and even attend hospital appointments. (In the UK there are only 93 hospitals with a registered changing places toilet).
I have to plan my entire life around the few changing places toilet that exist, which massively shrinks my world. Itβs incredibly difficult for me to travel (less than 2% of train stations in the UK have a changing places toilet), go days out, visit the hospital, and otherwise experience the world outside my house. Hopefully one day every event like Pride or music festivals will have a mobile changing places toilet, and there will be public changing places toilet with 24/7 access in every town, as well as changing places toilets in public buildings like leisure centres, libraries, museums, cinemas, tourist attractions and shopping centres.
More info including what you can do to help the UK campaigns for more changing places toilets can be found at changing-places.org
i was interested to learn more about changing places outside of the UK, and i found, from what looks like the same organization, this international map + this Florida/Georgia/Alabama project to install more, in case anyone is in the same area and would like to learn! we apparently only have one in my city, seven in my state, which is absolutely not enough to let people go about their days freely.
I’m Brazilian and my strongest memory relating to a roundabout was when me and my family were walking near my grandparent’s house. My little brother asked what the circle in the ground was and my dad explained the concept of a roundabout, “you’re supposed to go around it, so the road is more organized, look, there’s a car coming, you’ll see how it works” and that car just. Fucking ran over it. Dude just went forward like the road was straight. We never saw anyone do that again and I’m still not over it
this is one of my favourite poems ever. itβs so sad yet hopeful. so strong yet short. itβs duskβ¦ your daughterβs tallβ¦ itβs dusk! your daughterβs tall!

Your baby grows a tooth, then two,
and four, and five, then she wants some meat
directly from the bone. It's all
over: she'll learn some words, she'll fall
in love with cretins, dolts, a sweet
talker on his way to jail. And you,
your wife, get old, flyblown, and rue
nothing. You did, you loved, your feet
are sore. It's dusk. Your daughter's tall.
it is insane how fucking tiny these buttons are did they not like. consider the concept of UI scaling like at all. did they not consider what theyd do if someone had a big monitor. what is this shit
why asre there two post buttons. why do i get little numbers next to 'home' and 'following' when btoh are giving me the exact same information. why is it that when you open the account view you have the exact same information on both sides of your screen. why is it that the activity popup obscuires the dashboard now instead of the 1000000 miles of empty space on my god damn desktop. did they not consider the concept of UI scaling at all?????
when i first saw people p[ostp about this i thought maybe they were overreacting because they hate twitter and change but like. whatever you think abotu the concept of 'putting all this shit on the left side of your screen' as a bold UI innovation or whatever in concept this shit is like. just straight up unfinished. like i legitimately dont understand how this was considered ready to roll out to users
why does the activity popup open on the ONE part of my screen i DONT want to be obscured when im using tumblr dot com!!
no seriously why is this information displayed twice one inch apart. im not being snarky when i say this genuinely just seems actually unfinished
dont talk to me or my three (3) 'activity' buttons that show up when you're already on the activity page ever again
Okay. Reblog this and tag with a numerical response for how many of these artists you listen to. It’s stereotypical “tumblr user” music.
Compare paychecks with you co-workers. It is the best way to get equality.
In the USA it is illegal for them to even ASK you not to talk about your wages
hey! hi! I don't know how well tumblr takes to game announcements (especially ones for ~3 decade old PCs), butβ¦
ALTa couple nights ago I released WordHopper, a little arcade-like word game for pentium-era PCs running DOS (or Windows 9x, though ymmv).
it's $2 (minimum $1), and can be purchased here! there's also a demo you can try out in DOSBox, on real hardware, or online (NOTE: click the dosbox window as soon as possible to avoid a loud, short sound- I don't know how to fix that, sorry!)
ALTthank you!
ok bye forever sleep well
