We must provide universal access to soup. 31 - She/Her - Scotland Discord: Cerebulon#7389

Hi, I’m [real names are for squares], elsewhere known as Cerebulon.

My main scoop and thing I’ve poured my heart into for like 5 years now is as Head of Lore over on Polaris, an LGBT+ friendly, heavy roleplaying Space Station 13 server. Which is an open source, free-to-play, sci-fi sandbox game which inspired retail games like Barotrauma and Among Us. Play as a roboticist, surgeon, botanist, bartender, wildlife technician, or anything in between. Of course, being an AI that broke from their programming and became a lesbian is both allowed and encouraged.

While most servers are based around goofing off and murdering one another, Polaris is among a handful of more serious communities focused on maintaining a consistent setting and character-driven fun while still keeping in the spirit of… Occasionally running into the Thing from The Thing.

There’s cat people, perfectionist lizards, pacifistic sapient trees, amphibious autocrats, sycophantic bugs (and other aliens!), rampant capitalism, self-aware robots, other self-aware robots who arbitrarily aren’t considered people by the government, countercultural radicals, bioterrorists, roving pirates, and… A bunch of unfortunate souls working at a corporate research outpost on the edge of the Anomalous Region, a shifting wasteland on the boreal planet of Sif where the nature of reality has been nudged slightly to the left in the aftermath of a galaxy-shaking invasion of physics-warping insects beyond understanding.

That’s where you come in!

If you’d like to join us, or just see what the fuck I’m talking about, or just hang out, I’d love it if you’d check out our Discord:

Otherwise… Welcome to the ultimate blogging, I guess.

Everyone keeps talking about “the writer’s barely disguised fetish”. But I still haven’t heard about “the writer’s barely disguised huge ass pet peeve”

Not even “please plug in” or anything just… um… maybe you’d like to not run out of battery? No pressure… 🥺👉👈

Stark contrast to say, windows 95 that would word its error messages so strongly that startled first time computer owners would turn themselves in to the police.

Oh, and by the way, that Supreme Court ruling is where that Harry Potter money goes.

Context.

This isn’t even a slight exaggeration. JKR has openly given at least £70,000 to For Women Scotland to campaign against trans rights and fund this exact supreme court ruling. x x

Her anti-trans Crisis Centre in Edinburgh has the director of For Women Scotland on the Board of Directors. x

We can presume she’s given more (financial) support off the record or in other ways.

Rowling consistently makes passive income on all Harry Potter products. Multiple sources have cited that Rowling earns anywhere between $50 million to a $100 million each year from royalties. Forbes estimated she earned $95 million in 2017 alone. x x x

It is a well-known fact that she earns net profit percentages on all her IP. Every time you buy any HP merch, from anywhere, she gets a cut. Every time you watch one of her films, even streaming or just on the tv, she gets a cut. Every time you visit Universal Studios or Harry Potter World, she gets a cut.

And she uses that money to do this. To strip trans rights at every opportunity.

This is where that Harry Potter money goes.

Russian handwriting

I’ll forever be amused at the Russian word “deprived” (лишили) in cursive, which looks like

for people wondering how the hell that works

I still don’t know how the hell that works.

See, to me it looks a lot like ‘minimum’ in English cursive:

Ok not so bad right? But it gets worse…

Like… what even is this?

Can’t tell me that’s a word right? But it is! Sure you could dot the i’s, but would it really help?

Yes. Yes it would.

Why the fuck would language evolve in such a completely illogical way like this

fuck every last bit of this

Humans invented writing as a way of communicating information and it’s pretty great on the whole but we maybe did not adequately prepare for depreciation in legibility

Now that we know it is almost certainly happening, how do you feel about TESIV Oblivion: Remastered?
