maple "mavica" syrup [6502] @mavica_again@computerfairi.es

I've had this post on the backburner for six years, through an entire format-change (it was almost a YouTube video!), before I decided it needed to be a blog post instead. Prime Target, a Macintosh FPS game that's weird precisely because it isn't weird.

and i don't mean in a mansplaining kind of way or "how do i do x in y" "use z instead"

i mean "how do i do x" "rando favourited your post"

like it's just non-sequiturs. i'm in a don hertzfeldt skit

social media is anything but and mastodon has not ever been and will not ever be better than twitter or any similar contrived microblogging platform for as long as it retains the favourite button

if you like a post where a person is talking about killing themselves that means that you like that that person wants to kill themselves, there is no other interpretation for the wording x has liked your post that i can infer in good faith and this is why i tell people not to like my negative posts unless they like that i'm in misery because if you want to convey anything else you have 26 letters and punctuation at your disposal

starting out disabled pride month with a disabled pride flag, which for me is just a script for prescription strength painkillers blown up to a 6 foot sheet, on a flag pole. #disabilitypridemonth #chronicpain
