It will never cease to irk me when people look at devices and tools made for disability and call it a "scam" just because it doesn't work for them.

Of course, kinesiology tape doesn't work on you if you don't have connective tissue or soft tissue damage. Your body doesn't need help holding itself together. Mines does.

"Posture braces are a scam, you should just exercise more." Okay, what if you can't? What if no matter how much you exercise, your body will always need extra support.

"Foam rollers don't actually do anything, just do exercise." Again, see the above.

"Neck traction devices? Pft, stop being lazy and exercise." Again. See. The. Above. Also, speaking as someone with a severe neck injury, sometimes you need those devices to exercise. And yes, sometimes moving half an inch is considered exercise depending on the nature of your injury and limitations. My current goal in physical therapy is to hold my neck up on my own for longer than ten seconds while lying on my back. It's taken me a year of intensive work to manage it. The traction devices have been a part of this, as recommended by my physical therapist.

"Balance boards, omg what are you, a baby who can't walk?" IN SOME CASES, FUCKING YES.

Like I get it, I get it. You've seen the infomercials and they look goofy, or you just plain cannot think of a situation where you personally might ever need some sort of assistance with your body. But good news! Disability is the only minority group you can become a part of at any moment through sheer bad luck, age, illness or a genetic ticking time bomb hiding in your DNA. May the odds be ever in your favor, and if not, may you encounter kinder people than yourself.

People act like I'm just being an asshole but man the whole reason I'm so anal about hating gambling mechanics is because I've been down that road and lost a ton of money on games I just stopped playing eventually anyway and it SUCKS and the more you learn about dark pattern design the more you realize that this entire corner of the game industry is just fully focused on screwing vulnerable people out of their money and it's just evil, plain and simple. What do you want from me?? To promote this shit like every other streamer after knowing all that??? I will NOT be complicit in this shit. I'm gonna talk about how bad it is!!! You think that makes me an asshole?????

I know I say that I'm kinda nuts for doing the amount of visual research I do, but at the same time: Specificity is SO much more compelling and real feeling, and imo not getting references often makes things look more amateur.

Eg. drawing a sofa- my mental image of a sofa is something like this:

Like. Its a sofa. It works. But it's not very convincing, the pillows are kinda wrong at the back, and it's not really giving any information about the owner. Even if you want a basic sofa... What kind of basic.

comfy and cheap?

kinda rigid?

inherited? ------

who does this comfy cheap ikea sofa belong to anyway?

guy living alone?

teenage girl?

Grandma?

Anyway I'll get off my soapbox but specificity is sexy and fun and it can do your storytelling for you!

For me, censorship laws are a lot like the death penalty. There are people I wish would die, but I don't want the government to have any say over who lives or dies (because then they can stretch laws out to justify killing someone they dont like). There are stories that I think are reprehensible and should have never been written, but I don't want the government to have any say over which stories are reprehensible (because then they can stretch out what they deem wrong out to fit anything they don't like)
