I Think If Folks Want To Form A New And Healthier Intellectualism As A Tide Against A Lot Of The Culture

I spent last night looking at Neocities sites and here are my takeaways:

There's a real push to keeping the internet weird, open and less corporate-driven -- info on bypassing paywalls, protecting your data, archiving web media and basic coding/tech literacy.

(I found one tutorial on how to make a pop up that detects whether someone has an ad blocker and suggests they install one if they don't! Love that.)

There's also resources on finding the kind of internet that isn't the default experience anymore - alternate search engines I hadn't even heard of, human-made link lists and webrings. (Webrings! Turns out they never went away!)

If any of that sounds interesting to you, by the way - sadgrl.online has a lot of it and is possibly the best thing on the internet????

The "90's web" aesthetic is really fun and nostalgic, but I particularly loved seeing some people bring the better parts of the "modern internet" into it. What if we had weird, eye-searing personal sites BUT with plaintext alternatives for accessibility purposes? CW for flashing lights and unreality triggers?

(Again sadgrl comes in with a lot of resources for making your website accessible.)

Most of all, I'm honestly emotional about all the sites I found that were like, "hi! I'm 14 and this is my website where I talk about stuff I like haha."

It's so good that so many kids and teens who never experienced the "old internet" are still finding stuff like this and making their own weird stuff! Not just because weird websites are more fun, but because these skills are being passed down.

Anyway it's great and who knows maybe I'll make my own site sometime to keep horror media recommendations or something.

I love them

disability in fiction

You know how Viktor sometimes gets this superpower, when he can just ignore the fact that he can’t move without a cane or a crutch?

People with mobile disability do not forget about their pain. And I believe people with any other don’t do either, but I can only speak for the mobile type. We do not fuck through it because the sex is so great. We groan and stop having sex in the middle because with pain it sucks. Our dicks go soft and our vulvas dry out at the pang of pain, especially when it comes in the spine/legs area.

Our partners have to be mindful, careful, present and attentive. They don’t get the luxury of losing themselves, they have to listen, observe and pay attention because a lot of things can be misread during sex. They have to make sure we are alright after.

Did you ever get a cramp during sex? Multiply it by an impossible number and then it’s still probably not good enough.

So yeh, Viktor can’t just abandon his cane and lift someone up. He will probably drop his cane by accident and then lean his entire body weight on you. ‘His leg hurt but he ignored it because the pleasure overwhelmed the pain’. No bitch, he fucking pulled out and asked for a breather, his dick flopped and now he needs a cuddle. Own it. It’s HUMAN. It’s cool. It’s beautiful.

Write about his cane, make it good looking, make the crutch in the colours of house Tallis, describe the braces, I wanna read it! It’s not boring!

And for the record - this is not an angry rant, I just have a big mouth. Love you all people who create art and send it to the world, it’s awesome. Don’t be afraid to explore something you don’t know, just imagine yourself when you had the worst flu of your life, the worst food poisoning of your life, when you were so hungover you wanted to cut off your head, when you fell off your bike and your ass hurt for a week and think if you wanted to have wild sex on the floor. Nah.
