@extinctsnakes@mastodon.social that first image is metal as heck

Oh, bugger

I thought my left wheelchair tire had a puncture

After checking, the only part that's leaking is.. The presta* valve. (I always get those two confused)

Welp, I tried repair, now it's definitely a 'replace' =w=

@kafkaesqueNomad@occult.camp @theoutrider Sure!

@theoutrider "Ah, but don't you want these pants with.. Lintless Pockets!?"
"..You mean 'Limitless'."
*Wizard takes out a single, pristine boiled sweet, slowly puts it their into mouth*
"I'll take them!"

@theoutrider Generations of civil engineers would thank this person profusely and petition for them to be beautified as a saint

@theoutrider Tbf I want to be the magical old hermit lady who spends her days crafting bewildering magic swords, in a cozy hobbit-hole that's trapped to the teeth with nonlethal-but-intensely-inconvenient-and/or-embarrassing spells.

@vahnj sure!

Dune, The Much Shorter Edition:

Bene Gerressit: "Do not give in to fear, prove that you are human!"
Paul: "..That's, uh.. That's literally a blowtorch. Bye!"
-Exit Paul-

@theoutrider These two things would make my life so much more disabled-friendly I am not even joking

I want these accessible-to-heck high magic settings

@vahnj @theoutrider Iirc there are things that produce flames that you can put yr hand in and they're fine

The Infinite Energy part is gonna be the hard bit, I suspect :thinking:​

@grime_witch @squirrel
wavehouse?

.."particlewave" doesn't fit the syntax but I like it too much not to ^^

@grime_witch @squirrel I wanna make softwave/wetwave so bad

@distelfliege@witches.town @ghost@anticapitalist.party That.. Is all too believable, yeah. :(

*accessible/easy to engage with. Not "engaging", which sounds like a gross corporate buzzword in the context of UI design. =_=

@ghost@anticapitalist.party (sidenote: wheelchair user hi-five!)

@distelfliege@witches.town @ghost@anticapitalist.party No need, you've not done anything wrong. ^^

@ghost@anticapitalist.party @distelfliege@witches.town So seeking sample groups /outside/ of the space and going "Hey, how can we make our space more engaging for you?" is.. Essential, but often omitted.

(This was not meant as a critique of the post itself! ^^)

@distelfliege@witches.town @ghost@anticapitalist.party Noticing/pointing stuff out is good!

It's not so much holistic design, as actively seeking out feedback from affected groups as a preliminary step of design not being a part of tech culture (and abled culture in general, tbqh).

Accessibility flaws are often seen as a "We'll wait for someone to complain about it, then fix it" issue, and if the space to engage in that discussion isn't accessible to the people in the first place.. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
