So I finally finish guardian and I need several days to recover. I need to know what happens after. Did they ever meet in another life? Will I ever get yunlan screaming “kill me, kill me” after he watch shen wei get devour. Will I ever recover from Shen wei making a necklace out of yunlan lollipop wrap and carrying around with him and when the thieves tried to take it he said “this more valuable then your life.” Or something along those line. Will I ever recover from yunlan screaming “where is Shen wei” when everyone got thrown up.” Can I get the look of utterly despair and heartache when he realized Shen wei wasn’t coming back out of my brain . Can I get the picture of him screaming “noooo” as the crystal dragger puncture Shen wei. Will I ever get over “you are worth it.” When yulan found out he connected their lives together. Will I ever be over the look Shen wei has when he first saw yunlan for the second time. Like his soul had finally been released. Will I get over the look in yunlan eyes when he promises they will follow each other in the no matter how many times in how many lives. Will I ever recover from “who hurt you I will kill them.” will I ever get over yunlan being the reason that Shen Wei was still trying fight even though he was severely injuried and still threaten his deluged deranged irrational brother about hurting him if he laid one single finger on yunlan. Will I be able to get over the longing and the smiles that they shared between each other like little inside secrets. Will I ever be over the fact that they would chose each other in every life time no matter what happens. Because they can’t live without the other. 

Dos and don'ts on designing for accessibility

Karwai Pun, GOV.UK:

The dos and don’ts of designing for accessibility are general guidelines, best design practices for making services accessible in government. Currently, there are six different posters in the series that cater to users from these areas: low vision, D/deaf and hard of hearing, dyslexia, motor disabilities, users on the autistic spectrum and users of screen readers.

[…] Another aim of the posters is that they’re meant to be general guidance as opposed to being overly prescriptive. Using bright contrast was advised for some (such as those with low vision) although some users on the autistic spectrum would prefer differently. Where advice seems contradictory, it’s always worth testing your designs with users to find the right balance, making compromises that best suit the users’ needs.

Humans have finally managed to land on Mars, only to find a locked safe buried in the Martian soil. The key is apparently on Earth, but no one knows where.

Recent Chinese dramas with a nonchalant MC who just wants to slack off (but fails), gorgeous men being good bros, marvellous fighting scenes, and a heck lot of chaos: A comparison.

I cannot put into words how much I Fucking Loathe the fact that when you search something on youtube now it will randomly intersperse blocks of "people also watched" and "for you" into the results. That's not what I searched for, youtube. I typed in a search query because I wanted to see search results, not random unrelated garbage you have placed in my way apparently to either inconvenience me or force me to scroll further for actual results. I despise your wretched little games and every time I see it I can only instantly close the tab as I am overcome with the urge to burn something down.

do you all remember in the early 2010s where people were talking about freeing the nipple and that mixed-gender sports should become a thing and the removal of period tax and all of that and then some people realised that would mean trans people too ans they instantly decided to revert to bioessentialism 101 and now i have to see grating sentences like Well maybe jeopardy should be gender-segregated because males have a biological advantage in pressing a button

sometimes people say the fans would do things right. but i cannot emphasize strongly enough how important it is to keep fans away from projects

Rich people openly brag about intentionally choosing to live off of other people's hard work, while they shame poor people for receiving financial assistance that they need to live.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health released a full report with names, ages and IDs of those who were killed – maybe at least in part as a fuck you to Western media and the US president who suddenly cast doubt on the number of fatalities. Over 7000 people died. Whole families wiped out forever. It's beyond comprehension. May their memory be eternal.

the man who owns and runs the thai restaurant in my town knows me by name. he is one of the kindest and most thoughtful men i know. i started ordering from his place back in january, which was when i got my fibromyalgia diagnosis. back then i was using a walker, had limited mobility in my entire body but especially my hands, and was very visibly in pain. i always ordered the same thing: yellow curry with no meat, potatoes and carrots only (i have texture and other dietary issues). he always made it a point to make sure i could get out the door and carry the food safely. he had his workers package the food so that it was easier for me to open. as i kept coming back and i told him a little bit about my health status, he would always encourage me to keep going. he told me about how the spices he used were good for inflammation and began to edit the recipe just for me so that spices that were even better for fighting inflammation were used. he’d give me extra portions and despite the fact that i would tip every time, i realized later that he never charged my card for them. as time went on and my condition began to get better, especially with the help of a physical therapist, he would make encouraging remarks and tell me how happy he was for me. the day i came in without my walker, he practically jumped for joy, and despite my insistence, he gave me my meal for free that day. i continue to make progress with my conditions and i continue to go to the thai place. this man who does not know me personally and who i hardly know anything about is one of my favorite people. it’s interactions with humans like these that make loving life easier. and his curry really does help my chronic condition. it’s comfort food taken to the next level.
