Throwing Myself into the Vast

Hey when you move out on your own the most important food tip I can give you is “maybe you don’t hate x maybe your guardians just cooked it wrong”
The number of foods I have learned I really like if they’re Fucking Seasoned
The number of foods I’ve introduced friends to that they warned me they’d always hated til I let them try a piece of mine
Also marinade things for 24 hours the second you have your own fridge it is a GAME CHANGER you thought you knew food but you have never met her

every gym leader is like “I lost!?! UNBELIEVABLE!” buddy you live in a world where every ten year old child has always been offered a free fire breathing monster at least once and you brought nothing to this fight but anthropomorphic flowers
gym leaders’ whole job is to provide a specific challenge, a battle of a certain type and difficulty level. if you’ve brought the tools and skills to complete that challenge, you’re going to win by design. the pokémon in that battle are probably not actually the strongest pokemon they have.
when gym leaders go “argh, how could i lose??” they’re acting to give your victory legitimacy because you’re 10. they’re like a villain cosplayer letting a baby knock them over. they’re being nice!!

Lighthouses are an underrated form of wizard tower. A grey-bearded old man spends all of his time tending to a light that must never go out, for if it does it will bring disaster? What else could that be?

i love pitting classically trained magic users against self-taught magic users in sci-fi/fantasy but it shouldn’t be snobbish disdain for them it should be terror
“WHO TAUGHT YOU LIGHTNING BEFORE BASIC TELEKINESIS. LOSING MY MIND WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU JUST DID IT. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAST WITH YOUR BARE HANDS”
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT YOU’VE ‘HACKED’ MANA DRAIN
WHAT DO YOU MEAN ‘DRINK SOME JUICE’
WHAT IS ‘LOW BLOOD SUGAR’
WHY IS THIS WORKING
I HATE YOU SO MUCH
Okay but other direction can ALSO be a lot of fun
“What do you mean I don’t have to burn half my blood to create a fireball?”
“Why can you teleport more than once without vomiting? WTF is ‘quantum displacement awareness’???”
“You know HOW many spells? HOW? … What do you mean ‘my spell book’?”
“Ooooh, you’re just summoning water portions from the Plane of Water… Lol I thought I HAD to combine hydrogen and oxygen molecules to generate water in small amounts. That’s so much easier then what I was doing!”

“In the instance an employer makes an illegal request for a photograph as part of a job application, you may submit a complaint to the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.” Successful violation fee collections are paid partially to the one who suffered the violation, which in many cases exceeds a year of work at these shit jobs. There’s only two weak points to a corporation, and those are in the budget and in the supply chain. Hit them where it hurts.
Fucking word.
Learn your rights!

Vimm's Lair: Preserving the Classics
Preserving classic videogames from consoles past.
Vimm's Lair
I’m just gonna slide this on in here for anyone that is interested in preserving old games. They take it very seriously too, they want an archive of every single game. Like, they have lists of every game ever released for a system, and once that system gets old enough, they add it to their archive and start collecting. Their latest addition was the Xbox 360, they opened that vault up in September 2022, and proudly announced they’d finished their collection of games for it back in April.
Also, while their game archives are almost entirely complete, they’ve got another project of archiving the manuals that came with those games, and that is… considerably less well filled out. Their collection of Xbox 360 manuals is especially rough, they’ve only gotten manuals for three games. So if you’ve got some Xbox 360 games kicking around, and the manual’s still with them, please consider scanning them and submitting them to the site!
Game preservation is important, but people rarely consider preserving the manuals as well; I really respect Vimm’s Lair for being so thorough in their archival work.

characters who view themselves as tools/weapons first and people second… characters who martyr themselves for a cause because they think that’s the only way they can be worth something… characters who push themselves past their breaking point again and again and again… characters for whom devotion and masochism are inseparable… characters whose self-sacrifice becomes self-annihilation…… what was my point again? i had a point. anyway.

holds a microphone out to the crowd. jon was carrying cigarettes on him by at least mag 78, though he said he hadn’t smoked for five years. do you think he always had some on him just in case he ever felt like making a bad decision, or did he start doing that at some point during the course of the show?
In mag 39 Elias says “He’s not smoking again is he?” Which means that he knew Jon smoked at some point and it was something he learned directly from Jon or he would have risked Sasha asking how he knew that? Also Sasha didn’t question it at the time.
Given that Jon says he’s gonna have a cigarette at Jurgen which leads to him getting killed by Elias I had it in my head that one of the lighter’s powers, if not just a property of it being an item directly tied to The Web like a fetish, was to make Jon need to smoke again if not all the time then at least precisely at that moment to get him away so Elias killed Jurgen, and we know The Web likes to manipulate people through their addictions specially if they’re trying to quit or have done so already.
So I’m not sure of exact dates but I’d venture to guess that the moment he got the lighter it began to work on his mind to make him smoke again.

Happy disability pride month!
Did you know disabled people in the US can be paid below minimum wage? It’s called sub-minimum wage.
Disabled people who are receiving disability benefits from the US government also risk losing their benefits if they get married, and in some cases can’t even live with their partner (even if unmarried) or they risk losing benefits.
Disabled people are also regularly discriminated against at work, in housing, and socially.
Many stores and restaurants and public services are not accessible.
We are underdiagnosed, underserved, overcharged, and mistreated at every turn.

There’s still a lot of work to be done. Social inequality and subjugation is at every turn - we’re more convenient to capitalism when we’re dead.
But we’re not here to be tolerated. We’re here to thrive.
We deserve love, we deserve to take up space. Disability Pride is about accepting who you are in your entirety, and demanding the space and resources you deserve.
You’re worth being proud of.
