i don’t WANT to drink water I WANT a bard to draft a eulogy for me to criticise!!!!!!!
I appreciate that people also liked this one
talking to a friend in my writing group because he had question about screenreader accessibility so he activated my “allow me to introduce you to all of the ways it is possible to be blind” trap card.
like, I am not a Vision Expert I am just a guy with a type of vision problem that isn’t particularly well-understood or particularly well-measured by the DMV eye chart.
and a lot of people genuinely, like, have just not ever had cause to know anything about how eyes work.
now, my friend and I are primarily Internet these days but we did used to meet-up in person regularly. he has not seen me navigate a Whole Foods but he has seen me navigate a restaurant menu. he’s seen me use my phone.
and I was like “well, reading black text on a white background is the easiest vision task there is for me. if I were wearing my glasses and having a good day, I could pass the DMV eye test.”
that was alarming information to this lovely person. who hasn’t even seen me in any grocery store.
I am getting a Drastic Haircut. I am getting a cute side shave and I am excited about it. it’s not entirely theoretical. the haircut is happening Wednesday.
other than one skeptical comment my mom is choosing to tolerate this. good for her.
I am not at this time posting pictures of my face on tumblr.com but if you want to see my haircut if it’s cute, notify me. also if you’re already in my phone you might just receive haircut pictures upon the haircut’s arrival.
one of my favorite plot beats in Riverdale is in s6 when Cheryl gets possessed by Abigail, her ancestor from the 1800s. And nobody notices bc Cheryl already acts like the main character in an old gothic novel. Abigail says shit like “oh my beloved Toni, what for ails your weeping heart” and Toni just answers without a beat because that’s exactly how Cheryl would ask that. She tries to poison Betty Jughead and Archie and they’re just like “Huh! Guess she’s in a mood again. Whatever. We should maybe look into that later.” It’s like she’s been preparing herself her whole life to be the perfect stealth vessel for her tragic murderess lesbian witch ancestor. Character of all time.
