JESUS y'all wanna see some fucking NOSTALGIA
http://otakuworld.com/index.html?/kiss/tools.htm
this page about the KiSS doll maker system is fucken... the exact same since i last saw it at least a decade ago (more like 15 years honestly), DOWN TO THE WEBRING
in which a wigglytuff is having a "capitalism, ho!" moment, unfortunately; cw also for mental health/ableism discussion
i know the ultimate solution for "the brain weasels are screaming about my worthlessness due to disability" is not to like... go do a capitalism
but this is idk, an ace bandage to try and limp along a bit more
i'm at this really irritating stage where a little worse, i feel proper sick. a little better, i could do things. but nope. here i am, STUCK IN THE MIDDLE WITH YOU ๐ต
in which a wigglytuff is having a "capitalism, ho!" moment, unfortunately; cw also for mental health/ableism discussion
i figure if i make it my goal to work up until that "any more money than this and you need to tell us" limit for disability - which is 20 or 50 dollars/month i believe? (i'll check) - i'll perhaps stop feeling like i have such bad cabin fever
i'm not with it enough to actually do much thinking - not compose my own words - but transcription is words go in, words go out
in which a wigglytuff is having a "capitalism, ho!" moment, unfortunately; cw also for mental health/ableism discussion
so after seeing it floated here, i'm going to give transcribing on rev.com a go
i know full well there is NO way i could actually make a proper career or support myself from this - but
my friends
here's what they don't tell you about being disabled:
IT'S FUCKING BORING.
Okay, today's theme is "true facts that sound fake". I'll start:
The opossum is the only marsupial native to North America. It's also unusual in that it is the only mammal with an odd number of nipples: 13. It also has more teeth than any other North American mammal (50), and more incisors (10; everyone else maxes out at 6).
So basically it's this big furry weirdo with an odd number of nipples and way too many teeth. LOVE.
additional real spicy opinion:
kinda want one of my celeb crushes to end up cast as Captain Vimes in it too
like. hugh jackman in dad bod mode. or fuckit maybe idris elba. vimes don't gotta be white, just human, eh
no idea for who should play carrot but that's gotta be suitably hunky or else i riot
spicy opinion for today:
despite enjoying gaiman stories and being a discworld fan i've just never really enjoyed good omens and can't get into it
and i would gladly trade the good omens adaptation that is coming out for an adaptation of Guards, Guards! or Monstrous Regiment with similar high interest and production values
we don't need text formatting because we have unicode babey
unicode font hackery is

compatible with pretty much everything except on some devices where it just displays as white squares but thats good enough

completely unintuitive so you can prove that you're cooler than other people by knowing how to make the ๐๐ช๐ฌ๐ด๐ ๐ฌ๐พ๐ป๐ต๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ป๐ผ
โ
not actually formatting at all

check it out you can do ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ and ๐๐ก๐๐๐๐ and even ๐๐๐๐ all using different character sets meaning that some devices support some and not others

hey people with screen readers? get fucked
but tbh i feel like the college experience in sciences is that in middle school and high school, it's all figured out
then you get to college and actually?
actually????
nobody knows anything! grad students are weeping! half this shit's on fire! oh god! oh fuck! oh god!!
you just crack through that crust of torched sugar on the creme brulee of knowledge to realize it's all liquidy nonsense that gordon ramsay is about to get very upset about because it never set properly
whew lord i'm getting weepy about my favourite memorial statue that means i should go to bed
...said statue incidentally is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monument_to_the_laboratory_mouse
i'm not going to say the people who made it are entirely angelic and kosher, but as a biologist who understands how unfortunately necessary medical animal testing is, i think it's still good and right to recognize the sacrifices made to get that knowledge and to remember them with solemn appreciation
