A Dark Souls-like game where the lore for a weapon gets less vague the more you upgrade it. Broken Blade: A brittle sword. You can’t seem to let it go. Unpolished Blade: A cherished weapon from ages past. Polished Blade: You remember something. Bride’s Blade: Your wife’s sword.

Unreliable narrators are one hell of an idea. You can just write whatever, and if a reader points out "hey the way this scene happened should not be physically possible if it's done the way this character described it", you can just be like "yeah I don't trust that fucker either."

money is such an underrated accessibility option.

like people want to think any disabled person who is after money is morally suspect some way, because they're not asking for "treatments" or "accommodations" like a lot of our issues can be fixed way more easily with money. can't drive? paying for a taxi is often one of the more accessible alternatives. can't cook? you can pay more to have prepared food delivered to you. food restrictions? that food straight up costs more money. can't clean? you can pay for someone to do that. house inaccessible? having (lots) of money can help with that, you get the gist.

having money won't make us abled. it also won't stop our symptoms from being distressing, painful, or debilitating. but there's a huge gap in experience between the average poor disabled person and someone who's actually wealthy. you can buy your way out of some of the difficult situations most disabled people are left to rot in. wanting money, needing money, asking for money is pretty natural when it's such a useful tool. why get so weird about disabled people wanting money like i'm pretty sure everyone wants money anyway

Trying to repost this because @transgenderer tried to post it and staff removed it.

Jamie McCartney did a study called: "Internal Vaginas", taking casts of many, many different vaginas to get not just casts of the vulva but of the vagina itself! [If you're wondering, 'who the fuck is Jamie McCartney', he created the Wall of Vulva [previously The Wall Of Vagina]!!!]

It's a beautiful study showing the diversity in shape of vaginas themselves and vaginal openings. He made them out of glass.

Example below:

ID: A screenshot of three photos of glass casts. The first cast is of the inside of a vagina, showing the tube-like muscle branching away from the vaginal opening, with the bottom titled: "Anus" and a dip in the vagina titled: "Cervix Impression".

The second photos is titled: "Vulva" and shows a glass cast of a vulva below. Each part is titled and reads: "Outer Labia [Labia Majora]", "Clitoral Hood", "Inner Labia (Labia Minora)", "Urethral Opening", "Vaginal Opening [Introitus]".

The last photo is the glass cast of the vagina again, but from a different angle. It's titled: "Vagina" with part of the vagina that arches up titled: "G-Spot"

End ID.

Check it out. Seriously. It's beautiful and an incredible study of vaginal diversity.

incredibly niche science gripe but I do hate that gravity waves and gravitational waves are completely different things

cant a girl skim her pre-print mailing list in peace???

I do think in this case it looks weird because the sentence structure would look better with a comma? but yes including punctuation is the correct formal way to do it - although this is only something that made more sense to me once I started including more than one equation in a sentence or linking them together in different ways

below is an example from some ongoing work where the end of an equation is not the end of a sentence

okay for latex typesetting my advisor prefers putting a period at the end of an equation in big math mode if it forms the end of a sentence. i prefer just leaving out punctuation and hoping people figure it out from context. i understand that his method makes more "sense" on some formal level but it feels wrong to me to put a period in big math mode! thats not what big math mode is for! i made some examples

feel free to be loosy goosy about whether you count as a mathematician. if you use latex a lot that counts

broooo did you seriously disturb my eternal rest & bring me back to this mortal coil just because my ancient enemy the eternal night has returned? after i sealed it away and everything? which one of you tampered with my binding runes 🙄

i can feel burnout coming on, so it's time to pull out the big guns (pulling a sickie to do paint by numbers)

i beat myself up for not knowing enough about my special interests a lot but then i remember the average person off the street has no idea what the carboniferous is and i feel better

really beautiful spectrum of problems happening to fitzroy recently. what if the man who rescued me from my prison and changed the world for me doesnt feel the same and i am doomed to loneliness forever actually -> i want a bath :( -> grappling with the ramifications of the me-focused state religion and how to ever relate as a person to others with the context of that framework -> i was having a great time and then the iguana showed up

eh, screw it *releases my fucked up vampire au from the confines of my mind*

anyway I decided my blog is for me and I can draw and post all the weird silly concepts of my dreams and nobody can stop me. I actually have a lot of potential comic ideas ping-ponging in my head for this AU — not a linear story or anything (beyond what's on this post), just some good fun and shenanigans.

bonus:

in honor of the Lilo & Stitch remake being a huge piece of shit here's a comic about what the original meant to me as an 8 year old

Concept: cursed blade rehabilitation center. Destroying a sentient weapon is expensive and highly unethical, so adventurers bring them to the center where highly trained staff can care for them and eventually find them forever homes. It turns out most cursed weapons are products of trauma and are not strictly evil themselves. Some blades turn out to be fiercely protective companions. Others don't even want to be weapons at all, finding joy in simple work like blacksmithing or farming. Most blades just need to be loved.
