Okay, I started to play VA-11 HALL-A. It looks a bit like Read Only Memories except not quite as pretty and a bit more overwhelming.
And @jollysea reminded me that it's possible to get some characters from R.O.M. to appear! Including TOMCAT! I really like TOMCAT!! http://va11halla.wikia.com/wiki/Category:People_in_2064:_Read_Only_Memories
(And here is how to get TOMCAT, I'm spoilering myself but I also really need more TOMCAT in my life. http://va11halla.wikia.com/wiki/TOMCAT)

@Maenad very understandable, i tend to agree on that question!
@maunzikation ooh I am a big fan of Kim&Kim too...
@Maenad oh, I don't know that yet! I'll have to actually get this bundle and not just swoon over Faith being there :)
Ooh, a Comic Bundle with, among others, Faith! Super nice & relatable super hero. https://www.humblebundle.com/books/eisner-nominees-2017-comics
Today I learned about the only workers' strike in space: the Skylab 4 strike, in which the crew went no contact with Houston for 24 hours due to being forced to work 16 hours a day (for 85 days no less), and work through their meals and rest days to catch up when lagging behind.
They never made it out to space again (boo, NASA), but had a definite influence on NASA policies regarding work loads.
I think that this twitter thread on disability & browsing the web is really interesting for mastodon https://twitter.com/captainsafia/status/871056480799162368
Loads of perspectives. Shows how sometimes, the solution is very straightforward and simple, and sometimes, meeting contradictory access needs can be a bit more complex and is just as necessary.

@Maenad ah, and then there's https://fandomweekly.dreamwidth.org/ and https://fandom-stocking.dreamwidth.org/
@Maenad hm, from the little i know: you could try searching tumblr for your fandom + prompts, kinkmeme, fic exchange etc, there are many who collect prompts and encourage you to submit fills (as ao3 links or just tumblr posts). tumblr hides nsfw blogs from search if you're not logged in.
in case of femslash, maybe this helps: http://femslash-friday.tumblr.com/resources
& fanlore has at least this list, probably more that i didn't find: http://fanlore.org/wiki/List_of_Kink_Memes
okay guys. back in the day I wrote #fanfiction on livejournal and was part of a bunch of fic prompt/fic exchange communities. I want to get back into that, but have no idea where those communities even are now. AO3 doesn't seem to have a ton of community aspects, but maybe I'm just selling myself short with my "don't read the comments" hardline take.
