OH MY GOD

thank u very much

who is in control?

I hallucinate this post at least 5 times a day

does anyone know where I can find good reference images of victorian-era wheelchairs? I want to draw the jovial contrarian but all the wheelchair art refs/tutorials I can find are for modern wheelchairs

okay so here's a few photo's i have on hand for ref

Here is an article on the history of the wheelchair, which has some info on the victorian era ones

Image from that one, circa late 1860s.

Another from the science museum, late victorian era:

This one in particular is noteworthy as : "unlike a typical bath chair, the wheels are fitted with an extra ring to allow the chair to be driven by the passenger. " so perhaps keep that in mind for drawing too

So i usually go off of the old picture + combine some facets of modern wheelchair for Fallen London, since i think The Neath could have some of it own technological advancments

Hope these are helpful!

Here are a couple of pages from two Silber & Fleming catalogues from the 1880s (first, second), listing various types of wheelchairs for sale.

To everyone considering paying 5 billion dollars per year to play gamecube games on switch

Take my hand. I can show you a better way

okay it’s come to my attention that absolutely NONE OF YOU know ANYTHING about how cutie marks work. let me say this simply. a cutie mark isn’t a job being assigned, it’s a special TALENT OR SKILL that the pony enjoys. Most of the time it has a directly transferable job for that skill, like if you enjoy baking and are super good at it WOW! baker. If you are really good at writing and telling stories, author. However, there are some cutie marks that could go multiple ways.

twilight sparkle has exceptional magic ability, so she became a scholar, but she could really do anything that required a good magic skill. same with rainbow dash, her weather controlling job isn’t directly linked to her cutie mark, but it does fit the bill for the job.

i was posed the question of what would a murderer pony’s cutie mark be and wouldn’t everyone know. NO. if somehow murder were to be a special skill, the cutie mark might be something like a knife or a shovel. other ponies might just assume you’re good a cooking or gardening. now with cutie marks like apple jacks, their family has a ‘green thumb’ kind of deal so obviously the cutie mark would be hereditary.

so, the reason i made this post. walter white pony’s cutie mark would NOT be blue crystals. it would be a CHEMISTRY FLASK.

promise?

there's a really funny 3d printing controversy going on btw.

if you don't know, there's a very popular 3d printing model out there called "benchy". this is used for benchmarking your 3d printer because it's a difficult print and will help test it out.

this is so widely used that people make their own little versions of it, remixing the 3d model to make benchy look cooler and stuff. however, a new company owns the benchy license. they are sending copyright takedowns to all those who wrongfully uploaded the benchy model.

of course, this is pissing off the 3d printing community greatly. everyone loved benchy and have used it for years. so someone on reddit decided to make a new model that is designed as a 3d printing stress test. one that works a lot like benchy, and people are freely able to edit it as they please. you know what they called it?

boaty.

Our last dean talked about how “I couldn’t do it without Terry, she absolutely is the one who really runs this place” but did he take her on any of his jaunts where he had very expensive dinners with very rich alumni?  No he did not.  And unless the pay bands are a lie, she makes about 1/4 of what he makes and did not get part of his golden parachute when he retired to write his memoirs.

Moral of the story is that almost no one is “paid what they’re worth” because frankly she’s worth 4x what he is and realistically their paychecks should be flipped.  And yet here we are, in a world where half the responses to this are variants on “only an admin.”

So Nanowrimo is actually dead.

After 25 years of operation, Nanowrimo is shutting down.

An email came out in the hours approaching April Fools

A video was attached to the email, which can be viewed here:

The video is on Kilby’s channel and not the long dead Nanowrimo channel. The video is full of…

Kilby logic, but there is some relevant information contained within.

If have anything on Nanowrimo you need to get off the site, take it now. The site will likely not be around for too much longer.

Despite everything that the organisation has been through, the closure of a 25 year old nonprofit is still a tragedy, and my heart goes out to everyone that’s grieving from this. Nano has hurt a lot of people, but it meant a lot to so many, and I will be sorry to see that go.

Even if I don’t agree with many things in the recent video, I can agree with the sentiment of one slide.

I will update you all if and when relevant information comes out. Despite everything, I now doubt that this will be my last post.

No sympathy, no sorrow left. "Don't write a revisionist history" as if Kilby Blades ever once told the truth of what's happening in this organization. As a former volunteer, what I have to say is don't piss on my feet and tell me it's raining.

>building a community and sustaining it are two different things

Wow imagine if you had engaged your 900 volunteers in sustaining this instead of alienating them, telling them not to represent the organization, keeping information from them and removing them from the site!

>many alternatives to nano popped up this year

I WONDER WHY

NaNo had issues before Kilby Blades. But it also had devoted volunteers and dedicated staff that she alienated with her gaslighting. Good riddance to bad rubbish, I hope to never hear her name again.

not only this but arad "served" during the 1967 naksa which displaced 300,000 people and COMPLETELY emptied the villages of bayt nuba, imwas, and yalo. like he participated in an event that was (until the last year) one of the biggest iterations of the nakba ever.

it rly is weird how theres this culture in progressive spaces where like you can be as mean, as CRUEL even, as you want as long as youre not being explicitly bigoted towards any marginalized group of people and still be seen as a really good person with good morals who nobody is allowed to have beef with bc theyve never done anything racist or homophobic

politically correct behavior devoid of compassion for humanity as a whole is a callous performance and nothing more
