we are sorry for Hello Kitty's incompetence

when i was 13 i made up a group of ocs who were gifted the ability to teleport but with caveats that made it really irritating for them and everyone else. i can’t remember all of them but two. one of them could only pass from place to place through water. they could jump into something as small as a cup of tea and come out the other side through a puddle or something but notably they did get wet. so any time they teleported anywhere they arrived soaking wet. they had to go everywhere with a waterproof paddling bag as a purse. the other could only teleport between occupied bathrooms. any bathroom in the world was fine but it had to be in use. they could just ask a friend to go in first and cheat it that way but in an emergency they’d just have to barge in on someone with their eyes closed and yell “SORRY! SORRY!” and disappear immediately from existence.

its probably a normal sign for the economy that all of my adulthood fantasies are like "imagine having your own kitchen living room and bathroom to decorate" "what if i could get on a train" "maybe one day i could purchase a sturdy pair of shoes" "i should save and invest in a single bicycle"

NASA just dropped the closest image ever taken of Jupiter

@hamletthedane’s tags: #Vincent Van Gogh is crying somewhere in the after and I’m crying just thinking about that#you knew!! you saw the patterns!! there is a whole planet painted in the oils from your brush!!#TIL that the craft Juno went as close as 4000km from Jupiter’s weather surface#for context: the craft was closer to Jupiter than NYC is to LA#which is space terms is like. basically being on the planet#holy shit

I wasn't able to find the picture op posted, so it may be fake as people in the comments are claiming, but Jupiter does still look like that!

Pictures from NASA's website:

how much banger fanwork has been killed in its infancy due to the 40-hour workweek. Do you know how many absolutely rockin comics live only in my head because I don't have time or arm ability left to draw them. As well as weird original comics

even if employed we all have to get more unemployed spiritually

Fandom spaces have GOT to stop finding out about concept art & saying they were supposed to have x or y. That’s not how concept art works, there isn’t a secret better show they decided to hide from you for no reason

“Look at the animation style we could have had!” and it’s a drawing so detailed that the animators would have killed themselves before ever being able to finish a single frame

Does anybody have that image of what cyberpunk dialogue is like. "to crack a cyber lemon this nasty" or whatever

That's the bitch

If you want an idea what more authentic oldschool hacking language sounds like, there is an absolutely ANCIENT webpage called the Jargon File (seems to have been updated from the early 80s up through 2004), aka the New Hacker’s Dictionary, that kept a record. It’s not far from Gibson’s idea but if anything it sounds even dorkier, peppered with coding terms and prehistoric memes

You guys realize you’re interacting with other human beings on here, right?

I just think that maybe some of you should be like, normal

and by that I mean that like. you need to realize there are boundaries with interactions with strangers

“The internet isn’t real life.” The internet is just as real as any other method of communication, as are the people behind these accounts.

This isn’t a Sims game, what you do here has consequences beyond the internet. Be kind.

sci fi is all about getting so scared and ripping tubes out of yourself. people miss this

sci fi is all about desperately trying to reclaim your violated bodily autonomy. it’s all about asserting that you are a being with agency, and you can choose what happens to your own person, even if that’s ripping tubes out of yourself. and also sometimes an alien is there

every now and then the neighbour's kid, who knows he'll get in trouble if he climbs in his dad's car and just leans on the horn, decides it's worth the consequences and treats himself. and that's real

It’s always something with me

I like it a lot when people are nice to bugs

A PORN BOT UNFOLLOWED ME?

not that i care

let this be the year that you stop using your school (or employer) email address for your AO3 account

As you can see, creating a free email account with a different provider is probably a good idea for a lot of reasons unrelated to AO3, too. It might seem annoying, but it’s worth it. 

If you need instructions for how to change your account’s email address, here you go!

#bonus reason: to not jumpscare your exchange mods when we have to email full.legalname@largecompany.com to see if you’re cool with fisting

yeah, that’s a good one alright
