reading this; it's good:

"It is not only false but ableist to believe that being homebound means that disabled people are exempt from participating in and surviving in this capitalist system. It works to uphold the same capitalist system that forces many disabled people to live in perpetual poverty."

ok so a joke that my brain gave to me shortly before waking up this morning: the Nine Kings of Men are given the Nine Rings and every one of them is like "ahh i can't wear this while i do the dishes" or "my wife is gonna be weird if i turn up wearing a new ring" so they give all nine of their rings to just one guy to hang on to overnight like "just wear one on each of your fingers yeah" and then the next day they all meet up and they're like jfc Gwanthir you look like absolute shit

thinking about revitalising the pringles brand. imo they don't really exploit their U.S.P., and that results in a weak brand. for one thing : it is the only food that comes in a tube. and any hand that enters becomes irrevocably trapped. so maybe somehting like "pringles. any hand can be placed into the tube to retrieve a crisp. however, only the penitent hand may be withdrawn." this would add a moralistic dimension to the brand, thence which would add mystique to the product imo.

very weird to go on a long car trip as a passenger and experience the terrifying world of cars. a totally normal person who i know dearly is somehow operating this high-speed ultradangerous machine, pulling off fast&furious style stunts such as barreling down a highway at 60mph+, inches away from a crushingly massive megatruck in the next lane, responding to twists and turns with pinpoint accuracy. it's like being attached to crash bandicoot while he's doing a crash bandicoot level.
