I told my friend I was struggling to play games because playing them alone feels isolating, and it feels difficult to get into games without getting bored quickly. So we decided that I would play darksouls 1, and it's a lot of fun so far! I was really hesitant to try because of g*mers on reddit basically turning the premise of the game into a bootstraps situation, but it's actually pretty cool! I think after playing and beating Hades 1/2 I can really appreciate DS1 :)
and honestly, I have seen a lot of compassion being extended towards the guy, and are understanding of his condition. "I feel bad for everyone involved" is something I hear a lot. The worst offenders being people who are more privileged (not on this site, but famous ppl)
Unfortunately I will not be responding to or reading any responses to this, but please take what I said into consideration instead of responding defensively.
I am disabled & white and I think the best thing to do in this situation is to sit down. Not everything needs to be commented on, or reacted to -- from our perspective at least. We think that our perspective is extremely important, but actually we could use to be a lot more quiet in situations like this. And it disappoints me that I see people arguing about this, when really we should be listening to Black people. And not just one voice, but many voices that have talked about this recently (especially the most marginalized and relevant to the situation.)
strawbs on sale, so I made some syrup out of the tops and froze the rest. Using the leaves and the leftover pulp for tea (and the skins from ginger) 🫚 🍓 🫖
Made some gari (japanese pickled sweet ginger slices) and trying not to eat the entire jar. Its very spicy 😋 The chemical process turns the liquid pink!! Last week I had binger (blue ginger from freezing) now I have pinger.
they will steal and plunder your artifacts to hang in their living rooms while saying your culture and people bring nothing of value. They will commission and display our naked bodies while destroying any rights we have associated with then.
too long have we asked "what is art" and have not engaged in our own systems of critical thinking in regards to the art we interact with. To be a critic in the sense that you will define what something means to you, and why something does or doesnt resonate. To view a piece critically, not just accepting it "as is" but also questioning the system in which it was created and what led or informed it's creation. Being a critic is an art in an of itself, your critique of art could resonate with other people, and bolster their own theories of art.
I've been enjoying the manga After God so much! It's got a lot of aspects of my xenogender in there, it's so cool 🥹 and feels almost uncanny. Like it's been plucked out of my own imagination! The story is also just... cool in general (to me, as a fan of supernatural horror.) Heavy CW for the content, I guess I have always liked difficult, brooding stories with the caveat that I am critical of what I read / watch.
Sucks because I ran out of chapters and I can tell it's one of those stories that I will think about a lot, especially for how relatable the cursed protagonist is to me 😩
It feels similar to Dunmeshi (which I also related to heavily) but more intense and way more edgy.
the recommended limit for riskier fish like white tuna and perch are generally once a week. safer varieties like light tuna can have 2-3 servings a week. Mercury slowly accumulates and goes away if you stop eating it, so you'd have to exceed those levels consistently over time.
(as a side note -- love this emoji lol)
