TWO HOURS AGO: an incredible photo taken by a ut austin student capturing something deeply poetic in my opinion, a line of state troopers eagerly waiting to arrest student protesters standing just behind a sign that reads "what starts here changes the world. its starts with you and what you do each day."

i'm downsliding again and can barely work and have to move soon so yaaaay ebegging

hi everyone, it's your favorite heavily disabled buddy here. i'm doing really fucking badly and had to go to the ER overnight for severe GI issues, and am missing work immediately after coming back from temporary disability and having to drop out of my college semester. at this point it's pretty obvious i can't work in a meaningful way to sustain myself so while i'm trying to either get better or get disability i need to ask for help. i'm moving soon, too, so i'm losing the job that somehow keeps me despite missing weeks and weeks at a time.

thank you. if you can't help just sharing is nice, and i understand that right now the world is just a mess for everyone. i wish i could do more, and i hate needing help instead of providing it. if i get to a more stable place i'll give back however i can. cassie for attention.

I love the DMs from blogs that have only existed for 4 days that only spam popular posts with no tags and replies off for their donation pinned post. Time to hit up operation olive branch again!

worried that about donating to palestinian escape gofundmes instead of organizations like careforgaza i know are vetted; any tips for telling if one is legit?

Usually if an account reaches out to you and their tumblr page is a shit ton of popular posts all reblogged within minutes of each other, with a fundraising post pinned that was made maybe 45 minutes ago, it's a sign they're a scam (and are spamming reblogs to make themselves look more legit). Go to Operation Olive Branch for funds to donate to - their team is thorough when vetting funds and they have hundreds still waiting to reach their goal.

"Don't use Libby because it costs libraries too much, pirate instead" is such a weird, anti-patron, anti-author take that somehow manages to also be anti-library, in my professional librarian-ass opinion.

It's well documented that pirating books negatively affects authors directly* in a way that pirating movies or TV shows doesn't affect actors or writers, so I will likely always be anti-book piracy unless there's absolutely, positively no other option (i.e. the book simply doesn't exist outside of online archives at all, or in a particular language).

Also, yeah, Libby and Hoopla licenses are really expensive, but libraries buy them SO THAT PATRONS CAN USE THEM. If you're gonna be pissed at anybody about this shitty state of affairs, be pissed at publishing companies and continue to use Libby or Hoopla at your library so we can continue to justify having it to our funding bodies.

One of the best ways to support your library having services you like is to USE THOSE SERVICES. Yes, even if they are expensive.

*Yes, this is a blog post, but it's a blog post filled with links to news articles. If you can click one link, you can click another.

@mouseinamushroomhouse you asked me for a Simon Illyan playlist nearly a year ago, and I'm proud to report it is finally done! I hope you and anyone else who listens to it enjoys!! :)

(shoutout to @cookie-nom-nom for suggesting the song Time Machine and @trelldraws for the McCartney and National recs, as well as putting up with me randomly sending various songs and helping figure out which ones fit and didn't. More musings about the process & specifics under the cut!)

With this playlist I really focused on keeping the length down, since I wanted every song to count and ideally keep the whole thing around an hour in length. This resulted in a lot of songs that kind-of-but-not-really fit Simon having to get cut, which was painful but made the fanmix better in the end, and part of the reason why this whole thing took so long, hah. I did however save them all in a separate playlist, so if after listening to the main one y'all want to see what didn't make the cut, feel free to listen here (do know it's not in anything resembling order, though).

With that said, it was a conscious decision to devote 3 whole songs to the chip breakdown, because I feel like while objectively it didn't take up 18% of his life, subjectively in the moment I think it probably felt that way for him.

The first and last songs really serve as bookends to the playlist for me. With the first not even fully a song, rather a spoken word 3rd POV narrative about a robot and last one literally named 'Simon', it felt right thematically about how he sees himself. I'm not sure if we get any explicit musings about the chip from him in that light in canon, but Tej's line about his "super-humanity ... or super-inhumanity" stood out to me in that regard. Especially since it's all but said that he didn't have much of a say in getting it installed in the first place, did he ever feel like the robot people considered him to be? And how did that change?

At the same time, there's so much more to Simon than just his chip, and I hope that shows through the songs I picked as well (if you look at the dates added, you can see I only found 'Until It Kills' yesterday, and that finally completed the playlist for me). I wish I'd found a song that managed to convey him & Miles as a team specifically, but that proved surprisingly difficult as so many songs of that nature seem to be written with a direct parent-child relationship in mind. Still, I'll add it if I ever find it.

ALSO, so damn hard to find songs with spy-related lyrics, I've used so many different search terms and engines and still nearly every result is instrumental music or about a specific incident. I think I have enough in here that it works, and I'm sure those songs exist somewhere, but the internet in all its glory did not choose to reveal them to me (if you know any I'd love to have a listen, I probably won't be adding them to this playlist however as I really just want to be done with this mini-project asdfghjkl).

And finally, for fun, my top 5 favourite lines that just feel so Simon Illyan to me out of every song in the playlist:

"But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home / Sitting all alone inside your head" - Through Glass by Stone Sour "With the hands of time around my neck" - Hourglass by Motionless In White "Nano-electrodes pulse the thrum / One note to beat my heart, beat my heart, like a drum" - Yes I Know by The Pack a.d. "I testify if I die in my sleep" - Stay Frosty Royal Milk Tea by Fall Out Boy "Keep them safe inside your home / If it kills you" - Until It Kills by Midtown

If you've read this far, thank you, and do let me know what you think of the playlist and if there are any songs/lines that stood out to you, I'd love to know <3

Had a dream last night that The Adventure Zone did a season where they played a Kingdom Hearts TTRPG, and one of the villains was a corrupted Mickey Mouse, who due to the influence of the Darkness, had transformed from the “Good Cook” into the “Bad Chef.” (nothing about any of his designs resembled a chef.) After he was redeemed, it turned out he had been possessed by “the spirit of a malevolent orphan”, implied to be Walt Fucking Disney himself, which would have WILD implications if it made any sense
