ALSO: If you happen to live in (or in the vicinity of) Kansas City and would be willing to open a room to her and her small dog, please get in touch with her. If you don't, but know anyone who does, it would mean the world if you could put them in contact. Thank you so much.

Please, if you can spare anything, do what you can to help @rachel_gmad get away from her horrifically abusive family. If you can't afford to donate, please share as far as you can. She's the love of my life and she's endured more suffering than anyone can know. Help her escape.
i'm starting a gofundme to help me get out of my current living situation, with my fucked up holocaust denying QAnon family. if you can help me out it would mean the world. thank you gofund.me/61e1ea3b
reckon i’ll be off twitter and on something else soon. i guess that’d be bluesky? don’t think i’ll be much more enthusiastic about being there but this place declined below my minimum tolerance level months ago & now it just feels like a horse kicking me in the head

I tried playing the Ubisoft NFT game.
The entire game has been unplayable since Friday. Allegedly, a malicious player has found a way to win every single match before the game even begins. Also he is somehow the only person anyone ever matches against.
"people on tumblr have an inflated image of their own writing capabilities amidst a community filled with people who have extremely low standards for literature" is a correct thing to say. however i have unfortunate news about the site you're currently using
see also: the lost context of reaction image being added a year later. just feels like someone had a laugh to themselves about a post they didn't remember writing. everyone coming up with an alternate explanation for its existence sounds dumber than what they're mocking

evidently people develop under weird religious circumstances and have to reckon with that surfeit of imagery later in life. it might result in some embarrassing slam poety or a purple paragraph or a turgid piece of tumblr prose. you can be annoyed without going for the throat

like i think it's important to remember that most people are exposed to the bible (or its imagery) against their will as children. they grow up deprived of the tools for (or are justifiably unwilling to perform) the exegesis or wider cultural research that would render this trite

i stopped and looked up this person's account thinking they might've responded to this in some way and it really put into perspective how rabid folks get about dumb tumblr posts. totally innocuous type of irksome text resulting out of typical circumstances. why bother to complain

Not to be a total nerd, but “Wanderer Above the Sea Fog”, an icon of romanticism, and “Christina’s World”, an icon of realism, are so fundamentally different in the feelings they illicit that it could be even argued the latter is a rebuttal to the former
i have no real experience with bioware games but my general estimate is that mass effect and dragon age are way, way closer than they ought to be. i should not be able to imagine Commander Shepard having a coherent conversation with any of these people

i'm not saying you need entire conlangs or a major background in linguistics but at least Have An Idea. any idea! have some characters speaking anglish. embrace the possibility of players accruing a unique cultural understanding. throw in a kenning every now and then, as a treat

clips of the new dragon age game keep reminding me of how dire fantasy dialogue is getting. feels like nobody wants (or is allowed) to have people sound weird or different or as occupants of an alien time. immediately lays waste to half the possibilities of the genre
