So what are the most absurd stories you’ve told people about how you lost your arm?
i tell people all sorts of stuff, and you would not believe what people will fall for. i’ve found it’s best to give as little explanation as possible. so in no particular order, here’s a few:
- i used to juggle chainsaws
- i got hungry
- i’m missing WHAT
- i tried to high-five a moving bus
- i’m an incredibly absent-minded person, i guess i just forgot it
- that’s what you get for standing too close to the bread-slicing machine
- i did the hokey-pokey too hard
- i arm wrestled thor and lost
- you would not believe how aggressive a hungry guinea pig can be
- i made a deal with Tony Stark for coffee, and he does not take coffee deals lightly
so basically, i just say whatever pops into my head first.

Hi folks,
I’m a queer cripple who can’t make rent this month. If you’re able to donate, anything helps. More info on me and my conditions can be found on my about page and on @wheelchair-training-wheels

🎶 Who captures fish raw with two sets of jaws? That’s a moray! 🎶
Look closely – but not too closely – and you can see how the purplemouth moray eel gets its name. This is one of several species of moray eel that can be found in the reefs of Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary.

Autonomous Trap 001
“What you’re looking at is a salt circle, a traditional form of protection—from within or without—in magical practice. In this case it’s being used to arrest an autonomous vehicle—a self-driving car, which relies on machine vision and processing to guide it. By quickly deploying the expected form of road markings—in this case, a No Entry glyph—we can confuse the car’s vision system into believing it’s surrounded by no entry points, and entrap it.”
-James Bridle
using salt circle motor runes to trap driving AI is the most cyberpunk thing I’ve ever seen
