In case anyone finds it helpful because mobility aids are horrifically expensive and inaccessible…
And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…
Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.
He also is working on cheap, open source, accessible designs for beach chairs, off road chairs, motorized attachments (think smart drive), and so on. Plus he skateboards in his wheelchair. Cool dude, helpful info, pass it on.
Today is Hagfish Day! Although it is often considered the ugliest fish species, it plays a vital role in the overall ecosystem and equilibrium within marine life.
A few amazing facts about these squiggly, slimy fish species here.
Been thinking about a reversed splatoon universe so I used this to make some of the idols as the other species. The only real name change is that it would be the Octo sisters

just read this, thought I’d share it. I’m excited to see where this goes! I always love plots where someone is ignored to the point they find the attention they need elsewhere, even if it’s on the other side.
Here's the cover for my Splatoon Villain Agent 4 fanfiction, Welcome to Octopia! The first two chapters are available on AO3 right now!
Chapter 3 should be up soon!
I recently got a new binder and have been organizing my cards but in multiple occasions I have found a card out of place and had to adjust literally everything else to fix it. My suffering will resume when I get more cards.
POV:Co gets an ornament.
Co: Yo, check out this burst bomb ornament I got!
Co: shit, I dropped it.
Can confirm. This is fun.
2 things to add.
1: I can confirm it sounded like in the scenes on the plane the music was primarily snares with bases in the background. We also paused the movie so I could yap about how they actually drum that fast on snares.
2: I watched a video essay the compared the comic and movie “When the wind blows”. It’s a movie about nuclear fallout and is very dark, watch at your own risk. I was making a comment about how I find it weird that they always play music over scenes of the mushroom clouds.
DR.Strangelove or how I learned how to stop worrying and love the atom bomb review. Ik it’s an old movie but I still will mark spoilers. I got the disc from my local library and encouraged you to do the same! (Only if you want to man)
Spoiler free: a great satire but it most certainly deserves the dark comedy label.
(Why the fuck is it so fast?)
And since this is a dark comedy set in the Cold War, some upsetting stuff comes up. I don’t go into detail but I also don’t know how to warn for this beyond a blanket BAD SHIT AHEAD.
Things I thought important to note: post nut conspiracy, chemicals in the water, mediocre sex is the fault of the commies, laughed when general conspiracy killed himself (it was just so predictable yet shocking). General conspiracy fully thinks fluoridation of the water is a commie plot to destroy America.
plane scenes have snares and maybe bass (knowledge curtesy of fish.) they also seem to be playing when the saint go marching in or another war movie tune.
war room after recall and plane we follow is going to bomb; general gum looks worried as all hell. I do not remember anyone’s names besides mandrake and strangelove, so instead they get what I remember about them.
As doctor Strangelove kept talking I kept thinking “someone shoot that man”. He’s a German scientist working for American and as the tensions rise you definitely see “aspects” “Roman salute”
The gif is a lot darker (to me), context available. Before I honestly thought he did that as a patriot. The wilhelm(or adjacent) scream was playing as he waves his hat. He went down to the nukes to get the door to work. He had to know. We had to pause because the nukes were signed and because it was a lot in the moment.
The end -I believe- is test footage with Vera Lynn’s “we’ll meet again” playing in the background. Fish brought up how he thinks it was a weird choice, and how he’s seen something like it in “where the wind blows”(?) fact check me on that fish.
To summarize: 10/10 but geez does it live up to the dark comedy label. This has to be my most unorganized review cause I was pausing and yapping and writing. I would recommend it but only if you want to watch something like it.
Hi, I’m fishy (he/him). This is where I post all my random bullshit. :P
