What am I doing with my life?

of course you have an illithid parasite and pronouns

thought this said illithid prostate.

Authority.

We’ve done some extensive magical scans and his brains seem to have been replaced with lime jello molded to the shape of a brain

On further inspection it does seem that all his organs are jello of different flavors

Even his skin? Surprised we didn't notice that one

Yes! We were shocked as well... can't believe we were once again fooled by skin-flavored jello, I mean, talk about embarrassing...

This was in Sioux Falls South Dakota! The green sky is caused by large hail stones within the storm refracting back green light to the observer.

shoutout to boring queer people who don’t do shit. just go to work or school and then come home to watch shows. while gay

[Image ID:

The “is this a pigeon” meme with the speaker labeled “radical social justice spaces” asking, “Is this accountability?”

The butterfly is covered up with a large thought bubble that says, “Completely obliterating a trans woman’s entire support network leaving her a traumatized bundle of nerves who feels like she’ll never have any community because you’ve convinced her she’s a monster.”

What a statement Tumblr turned this into, removing the image and the person who explained it

[ID: The first is an image of Canada and Mexico with the United States edited out that reads "Oh thank god it was just a dream". The second image is an image of North America with all lands labelled with the names of the tribes living on them that reads "Oh thank god it was just a dream".]

here is a REALLY detailed hq map of indigenous american nations if you're interested (you are.)

and alaska. and hawai'i.

looks like we all talked enough shit that staff put The Community Guidelines Violating Maps™ back

my wobbly British butler tulpa that uses 40% of my passive thought processing to come up with contrarian off-brand takes to Keep The Haters Guessing, noticing my furrowed brow and tensing knuckles, trying his best: mayhaps a swiftie arc, my lord?

this is the best album release of all time because where else are you going to get unironic takes like this and then even get a few hundred people to agree with it

Yeah you're right. It WOULD be pretty fucked up if you were a swan but you were raised by ducks and you grew up never seeing another swan or even knowing that such a thing as a swan even existed so you just thought you were a duck with something super wrong with it.

Replacing physical buttons and controls with touchscreens also means removing accessibility features. Physical buttons can be textured or have Braille and can be located by touch and don't need to be pressed with a bare finger. Touchscreens usually require precise taps and hand-eye coordination for the same task.

Many point-of-sale machines now are essentially just a smartphone with a card reader attached and the interface. The control layout can change at a moment's notice and there are no physical boundaries between buttons. With a keypad-style machine, the buttons are always in the same place and can be located by touch, especially since the middle button has a raised ridge on it.

Buttons can also be located by touch without activating them, which enables a "locate then press" style of interaction which is not possible on touchscreens, where even light touches will register as presses and the buttons must be located visually rather than by touch.

When elevator or door controls are replaced by touch screens, will existing accessibility features be preserved, or will some people no longer be able to use those controls?

Who is allowed to control the physical world, and who is making that decision?

One of the reasons I've stopped listening to music as I walk is that you can't press a touchscreen through mittens. I often listen to 2 minutes of a song, or skip it entirely, and I can't do that without removing my mittens every time, taking my device out of my pocket, and physically looking for the next button. These things don't like the cold, and it's cold here 7 months of the year.

I can't use a device without opening my eyes anymore, no matter how bad my migraines are.

Because there isn't a pressure requirement, my sensory issues don't cause me to break as many buttons on a touchscreen, but I also can't tap anything gently while thinking, which is awful for my ADHD.

I often find myself in completely different parts of an app, or a different app entirely, because my hyperactive fingers keep playing with the screen.

I don't have good manual dexterity, so half the time my press registers as a swipe, or long press, or some other movement, and apps do unexpected and stressful things.

I CAN NO LONGER READ MENUS!!!

The smart boards that constantly cycle through options? I can't read them. They change half-way through an option, and it erases everything I've read. I can't compare things. Decision making is hard enough, now I have a time limit and visual noise?!

(That last one isn't a touchscreen issue, but the loss of physical menus feels related.)

My washing machine and dishwasher don’t have buttons now but flat surfaces to press that may or may not register. Why?

Even my car has a stupid touchscreen. Why on earth would car companies think replacing buttons with a touchscreen would be a good idea WHILE YOU’RE DRIVING. FFS.

Feeling faint and need to turn down the heat asap? No worries it’s only 2-3 presses away as long as you’re in the right menu. Windows steamed up and need to clear it so you can see? Same deal. Awful.

We stuck a textured sticker to the power button on our oven so that, if we ever need to turn it off in a hurry, we don't have to waste any time to do so. Anything else we need to press buttons on the oven for, if the oven timer is not running and it's been more than a few seconds since somebody last pushed a button, we have to open the oven door in order to tell the blasted thing to show us the button outlines and labels.

@brightlotusmoon

Yeah, this is NOT the science fiction supercomputer accessibility future I was told like a fable as a child.

Where are my physical buttons? Why do they think we want flat, touchless, sensation-less, boring, annoying lives? I want my Fisher Price toys for adults.
