IMPORTANT KNOWLEDGE:

The dog's name is Minhoca ["Worm", in Portuguese!]

Translation:

What's this, Minhoca? What's this?? Oh my god! You have a new bed!? I can't believe it! I can't believe it!!! [Minhoca jumps into the bed] You even got a bandana as a gift! [Minhoca grabs the bandana] Oh my gosh! Come here--Come here! [Minhoca jumps back]

Unbridled joy.

why are cyberpunk tabletop things so obsessed with decency and personhood being tied to how many surgeries you haven’t had

“if you have a prosthetic it takes out a part of your soul” like thanks shadowrun

in early cyberpunk, the point was more along the lines of “if we integrate technology into our bodies we risk becoming dependent upon the people and institutions who control that technology, who would then use that to enrich themselves at our expense”

unfortunately that was too anti-corporate for American mainstream culture so as cyberpunk moved out of its niche it became “uhhh it eats your soul I guess”

#this is important context #if you weren’t around at the time it is easy to miss but #anti-corporate sentiment was pretty much the lynchpin of cyberpunk until there were movies and games making money off it #it was the 1980s you guys #the entire point was that corporations are evil and technology should be used to circumvent them and escape their control over our lives #and not be used to make ourselves into another product #now that the internet is entirely monetized and corporate it’s harder to remember that originally it was synonymous w freedom & independence

Yes, exactly. Cyberpunk is anti-corporations, not anti-body-modification.

And they (the original message, not Shadowrun) were right. So many people with prosthetics and sensory aids and insulin pumps and so forth are at the mercy of the bloodthirsty corporations who own the rights to their devices.

You ARE at the mercy of capitalism even if you just need freaking glasses. The frame alone costs a lot even if you get some prescription discount, and that’s in countries with “"free”“ healthcare.

Sniles so sneetly •U•

Haruhi fujioka really is the character ever. Going by any pronouns in 2006. Big beautiful brown eyes like a baby cow. Constant deadpan delivery. Getting bitches constantly. Reacts to romantic advances with a thousand-yard goldfish stare. Perfect flawless protagonist 10/10

#amazing! he didnt do any of those (via @corviiids )

Neil!!!

For anyone curious his name is Upepo and he was born at the San Diego Zoo late last year! His right ear is especially floppy which makes him extra cute (:

THE ORIGIN OF THIS IMAGE:

So in my etsy I sell a pin of some isopods having at a bag of doritos based on this photo. Today I was contacted by the person who took it.

I asked to share this info and he gave permission!

Here’s the picture of him working with isopods and here’s a link to their published research!
