Challenge #00958-B227: Mortal Mutant Powers

(I’ve had this prompt for ages. I have to use it now, because they’re finally starting to make plugs and ports that this doesn’t matter for)

USB connectors are at least 4-dimensional. Proof: a connector doesn’t fit. You turn it 180 degrees and it still doesn’t fit. after a THIRD 180 degree turn it now does.

(prompt from RecklessPrudence on Tumblr)

Tambry had no idea why she'd gathered a crowd. All she'd done was hook up her rather ancient laptop and USB hub. She was so used to it that she didn't think about it.

"What?" she demanded of her audience.

"You just plugged in like six different USB devices without turning them once."

"Yeah?"

"Everyone knows you have to turn them over twice before they plug in."

"Or... you just look before you do it," suggested Tambry. "That's why it works on the third try."

(Muse food remaining: 18. Submit a Prompt! Buy my stories! Or comment below!]

Termination of Services

Flashing red lights greeted Pamela as she woke from Stasis again. Something mechanical in the Vault Complex had gone wrong enough to need repair. It was the only reason that the system had to wake her.

The only reason that those in the Cryo-vaults needed her at all.

Pamela rose from her bunk and sat in the automated medical chair. If she did not do so promptly, the system would declare her dead and shut off the power to her survival suite,

Salutations and Best Wishes to you, my dear readers

What you are witnessing is a brand new blog to combat the inanities of what the bromonkeys at Tumblr are calling "design". Frankly, I'm moderately certain that a crowd of pre-schoolers could do better. I mean, Beloved managed to whip this up literally overnight.

Pretty, isn't it?

And Beloved ported ALL of my Tumblr posts over including the "going dark" message that was my last Tumblr post.

Managing prompts is going to be interesting. So far, the mechanics include "go to the

internutter:

This blog is going to go silent, and I am telling you why.

Tumblr’s shitty reblog system with the unnecessary graphics has made reblogs unreadable for people with dyslexia and other sensory processing issues.

For the last two years, I have basically made my career out of being readable. I need to be readable. And I especially need to be readable when I’m reblogged.

Reblogging my shit gets my shit seen. It gets me an audience. It sells my

Challenge #00957-B226: Obligatory Baby Adventure

http://outofcontextdnd.tumblr.com/post/127351161618

“Dwarven baby sleeps like anvil. Wait shit, that is anvil. Where is baby?”

Hroogar the Mighty removed the swaddling to make certain. Yes. It was the actual anvil that she used for the head of her war-hammer. The handle lay innocently right next to Nagdar the Sorcerer’s staff, where it would get looked over by the casual eye.

Hroogar breathed deeply and slowly, lest she fly into a berserker rage and lay waste to everything

Title: Not Dancing Alone
Summary:  Dancing has always been something Iris kept to herself, but after walking in on her one night, Peter offers to teach her how to slow dance.
A/N:  because Iris is totally a secret hopeless romantic and Peter is a total dork
and because there’s a startling lack of fluffy, sappy peteriris fics and i just had to fix that.
also just note that i have barely any idea about the 18/1900’s sO

Start using support levels instead of functioning labels!

a-spoon-is-born:

soradiesinkh3:

butterflyinthewell:

For the uninformed, functioning labels are terms like high functioning autism, low functioning autism, mild autism, severe autism. Other words like moderate or level 1, level 2, etc may be used too.

Functioning labels are extremely offensive because they’re placed on autistic people based on observation from the outside. This is problematic for three reasons.

  • Functioning labels determine how autistic people are treated. People associate “low functioning/severe” with incompetence or infancy and they end up treating the

My time stalking the postie is not wasted, dear readers. As long as I have a notebook and pen, I am never bored. Behold, a sneak peek at some Amalgam Universe sci-fi in my spidery, messy longhand.

People able to decipher this may be drafted into transferring my scrawl into nice, neat typing, because I have the regrettable flaw of reading my stories instead of transposing them. Heheh.

Writing by hand hurts my wrist more than typing does. Yet another reason why

Day 16 of mail-watching

Sill nothing. Our postie is a nice human. I only had to explain my predicament once, and now they’re apologising for the lack of parcels.

I’m also using the house security system to keep an eye out for the parcel post truck, just in case. I know they come by sometime after the postie… if they have a parcel to deliver.

Knowing my luck with these, my copy of Vice Quadrant will turn up on the protest day and

Friendly reminder that David Michael Bennet hikes in all black, long sleeves, jeans, boots, and a black fedora and somehow hasn’t died yet

And he does so in firkin California. One of the states that is currently so hot that it’s on fire.

David Michael Bennett is a minor deity, pass it on.
