having a backlog of friends at the table feels like an endless hill to climb but you are feasting the whole way through and are always satisfied. being caught up on friends at the table is like you’re at the top of that hill and you’re really really hungry and every week someone throws you a bowl of soup and you devour it in an instant and then you have to wait a whole week more for more soup
Did some calculation using the timeline on the Wikia and figured out that, out of the 1223 days that comprised the Hephaestus mission, Eiffel and Minkowski spent roughly 298 days as friends. That’s ten months spread out over a three and half year period. Excluding the first five hundred days of the mission before the Christmas mutiny, the six months Eiffel was MIA, the three months Minkowski spent avoiding him post “Need to Know”, the month after that when she was digesting the news, and the two weeks between “Shut Up and Listen” and “Constructive Criticism” when Eiffel avoided everyone.
I don’t have any real commentary to add, just that it’s incredible that given how pivotal this relationship is to the podcast (I remember Urbina or one of the writers once said that Wolf 359 is about conversations between Minkowski and Eiffel), they spend only about a quarter of the mission together and not at odds with one another.
Didn’t see any posts about it so here it is for the other Photosensitive folks,
Nimona has a lot of flashing lights, no intense strobing (ie Incredibles) but includes:
Alarm sequences (red lights, ‘police’ lights), explosions and gunfire
Sparks/flashing/flickering lights, firelight
Thunderstorms and lightning effects,
Flashes from color to black (hard to describe)
All within the first few minutes of the movie, frequently throughout.
It wasn’t too terrible when I watched with other lights on during the day but I tried watching it with them off and it was pretty bad. Sharing this so other people can find it would be much appreciated!
making fun of ppl with disorganized speech or trouble articulating themself or lots of typos or anything else isn’t funny actually
calling someone stupid for using a wrong word in place of a similar word, saying someones typos are “homestuck speech,” complaining about someone with an aac device “taking too long” to say something, making fun of someone stuttering or mumbling, none of it is funny at all
So I thought this was commonly known internet navigation (but apparently it might just be those of us who have been using the internet since the 90’s who still know it). Or so it seems based on… a grumpy comment I got.
When you see an arrow like this:
It means you click it to expand out a hidden section.
It’s an accordion section/menu! It’s useful in web design to hide information that may be overwhelming under specific headers so people can only see what they need.
Here I’m using it for people who need the content warnings to be able to check, but for those who don’t need them and don’t want to be spoiled to just move right past without accidentally reading anything.
It’s still the user’s responsibility to click the arrow and read things as they need! But it is all warned. (And, yes, the all encompassing issues are already a tag on the fic, I’m just providing additonal warnings per chapter.)
Ah, sorry yes! For those who want the html, it’s the details and summary tags!
Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.
Word for today: wisdom of repugnance
The logical fallacy that because something disgusts you it must be bad
More than 15,000 hotel workers are seeking higher pay, better benefits, and working conditions. This includes an across-the-board $5 an hour raise, as well as affordable healthcare and better pensions. They also are seeking a ban on the use of E-Verify, which is used to deny employment to undocumented workers and workers involved with the criminal justice system. You can follow what is happening at their Twitter.
