it’s not enough to romanticize mobility aids. we have to eroticize them

[ymirjotunn]

btw i am talking about all mobility aids. canes of course, but walkers. wheelchairs. power chairs. crutches. even transfer slings

aids become very real parts of not only how we move through our world but also how we sense it, and sex is about kinetics and sensing at its core, isn’t it?

for me, movement with my aids is a very deliberate, thoughtful thing. with my low proprioception i often get more neurofeedback from the way my aids move than from my limbs themselves. with my cane i notice deeply the barest change in pressure against the ground; with my walker i am so aware of the texture of the terrain; with my manual wheelchair i am engaged in every part of my limbs as something that works in tandem to propel me, or as a function of the terrain along which i move. to say nothing of the intimacy of being pushed by someone else (someone you trust) in a manual chair. to entrust your movement, your body, to them.

this post was ultimately brought to you by two things:

1. a porno that was presented by one of its actors at a disability & sexuality conference i presented at in 2019. one of the actors was a full time wheelchair user and used a transfer sling to get in and out of bed. the wheelchair - its wheels, its metal skeleton, its arms - was touched and worshiped and pleasured like any other part of his body; the transfer was tender and savored, not just a barrier to getting him naked in bed but a crucial part of his movement, something to enjoy in and of itself. i will never forget watching that film. it was the difference between fetishizing and worshiping, the difference between excluding and integrating.

2. you can use mobility aids in kink as much as you can in vanilla sex. they are a part of your body. they carry motion and weight and sensation and messages. you do not have to see your mobility aid as something that is secondary to you, as an obstacle in being confident or aloof or obedient or naughty. imagine the ways that your mobility aid can be a part of the messages you are already sending, a part of the person that you are allowing yourself to be and inhabit. to realize that your mobility aid can be a part of the scene, not just prop, not just annoyance, but part of the scene as much as you and your body are, is to open up a doorway into an entirely new world, one where you are and always have been whole

partnered sex with mobility aids is particularly incredible, because you get to share the world-sensing that was previously uniquely yours with a partner. it is indescribably intimate and unbelievably cool. it is fucking thrilling.

write more, draw more, fuck more with mobility aids.

runixa asked:

Hi, I hope this is ok.

I am reading hunger pants for the second time. And this book already just means so much to me. It already feels like reading a book I've read a dozen times. It feels like coming home.

And the way the first scene with fidildy reminds me of captain colon and knobby knobs, except I am already actually more fond of your characters than those two.

Anyway. I hope I haven't missed some boundary or norm here, I have never reached out to an author to tell them how much their book meant to me before.

Thank you for writing this book.

thebibliosphere answered:

Aw, thank you for such a wonderful and heartfelt message! I’m so glad you love Hunger Pangs and the little world I’ve built. I really love to hear that people find it comforting. I really wanted people to feel at home in the narrative.

I get the Colon and Nobby comment a lot, but it’s actually a bit of serendipity 😅.

The character Hobbes was a patreon character insert from one of my patrons. I asked them what they wanted to be (vampire or werewolf being the expected answer), and their response was, “idk; just throw me in anywhere. Make me a town guard or something.”

In fact, all of the named town guards in the series are patreon supporters! The only one who isn’t is Fiddildy, who is actually based on one of my dad’s old bosses.

I knew I needed someone for Nathan to bounce off of in his work environment, and I kept thinking of the gnarly old man I remember from my childhood who was a WW2 veteran, slipped rum into his tea when thought no one was looking, cheated profusely at cards whether anyone was watching or not and swore every other word–except in front of us kids. It was some personal rule he had, never to swear or shout in front of “the littluns.”

You’d hear him gearing up to say something, and he’d be on the cusp of streaking the sky purple with curse words, and you’d watch him go “Oh for fffff-fiddildly-dee.” Which is where the character’s name came from.

It’s a habit my father picked up from him, and when he saw the name, he knew immediately who I’d based the character on and lost his mind laughing.

Sometimes you just need a Shakespearean comic gravedigger in your narrative, and sometimes the universe hands you the perfect opportunity to turn it into a Discworld homage and also make your father laugh 😅

This is lovely but also

Hunger Pants

[thebibliosphere]

It's such a common typo in my messages I don't even notice anymore. I get everything from Hunger Pants, Hunger Pains, Hungry Pangs, Hungry Pants, and one really confusing time Hung Paints.

I can only assume it's people's autocorrect going hog wild 😂

don’t think i can call it a hyperfixation anymore fam im afraid im just long term insane about this piece of media

[personal trash museum]

[amotleycrew]

you know what’s a trope that never gets tired is when theyre bouncing around in the plot and suddenly an important name crops up- it’s blorbo bleebus. and some dude is like who the hell is blorbo bleebus. and we immediately cut to our new friend blorbo bleebus pulling the most absolutely buckwild shit you’ve ever seen

[what-grace-has-forgiveness]

enhanced edition of this trope is when they cut to blorbo bleebus doing something entirely contradictory to how they were just introduced, like “i know a professional, someone discreet who can handle things quietly” cut to blorbo bleebus in the wildest fucking bar brawl you’ve ever seen, screaming their own name and stopping to down shots while still holding some dude in a headlock

We need a Dracula movie where they do this with Van Helsing.

artist tips

[rileyav]

don’t save as jpeg

[suchirolle]

as a former yearbook editor and designer, let me explain this further

if youre only planning on posting your art online, them please save it as .png ;this is also better for transparencies as well

BUT

please, if youre planning of printing your art, NEVER use png. it makes the quality of the image pretty shitty. use jpeg or pdf instead. and always set your work at 300dpi to get a better printing quality - this means, the images are crisper and sharper and theres no slight blurriness. i had a talk with my friend who is currently taking design, and pdf is much better to use when youre working with a bigger publishing company because it still has the layers intact, but if youre only planning on printing your stuff at staples or at some small publishing store, the jpeg is the way to go.

this has been a public service announcement

[onecarefulowner]

I’ve replied to this once before but I see it’s doing the rounds again.

This is all utter bullshit.

I’m sorry but if your qualification is working on the school yearbook, you have no qualifications. Do not pretend otherwise. As a former professional photo manipulator for advertising brochures, I can say that you’re not comparing apples to oranges here - if anything, you’re comparing fruit to farmyard machinery:

• JPEG is a lossy format. It is suitable for web imagery because it sacrifices detail for reduced file sizes, but in doing so it introduces artifacts that weren’t in the original; if you load a JPEG for editing, then save it as a different JPEG, then you’re adding more artifacts formed from those first artifacts. Do this often enough and you end up with a horrid glitchy mess that looks like a puddle’s reflection after a stone’s been thrown in. You’ve seen those memes that have 3 or 4 different “found at” tags along the bottom, that look like fingerpainted copies of the original? That’s why.
  
• PNG is a lossless format that comes in two primary flavours, PNG-8 and PNG-24, which use 8 and 24 bit colour respectively. 8-bit colour is what you have in GIFs, a limit of just 256 different colours in a predetermined palette, usually automatically chosen by your software when saving. These files will look the same as GIFs, potentially with large patches of solid colour instead of the usual gradual shading seen in 24-bit imagery. This is usually better for small banners or pixel art, as it can yield smaller filesizes than GIF format. (There is an animated version called MNG but it has very little web support, hence the continued use of GIFs.)
• PNG-24 is great for larger images where detail is as important as colour depth, as well as printable RGB images and (if supported by the client) full colour images with gradient transparencies. It most certainly does not make “the quality of the image pretty shitty,” as it preserves every nuance. File sizes can be smaller than JPEG for small images, or significantly larger for large images.
  
• PDF is a container file, whatever you put into it will be pretty much preserved as it was, so you gain nothing but lose nothing.
• TIFF is what you need to be using for archival or print-quality imagery. It has support for multiple layers, multiple colour channels (RGB as well as CMYK, which is essential for accurate print rendering), and everything is preserved exactly as it was seen on-screen when being composed. There are compressed versions available, they use similar methods to PNG in order to maintain detail without sacrifice; next to whatever your graphics program uses natively, this is the most interchangeable format available for professional use.
• DPI is important only when used in combination with image dimensions; in and of itself it serves no purpose. If you make a brilliantly detailed 640x480 image & set it to 300dpi, you’ll receive a brilliantly detailed 2 inch x 1.6 inch print. This is great if you want to make a postage stamp, but not if you’re creating an A4 flyer! Determine the image’s dimension then set the DPI accordingly; 72dpi isn’t hideous especially for text-heavy work (it’s ~3 pixels per millimeter), and 150dpi can be suitable for many images. Unless you’re interested in photo realism, 300dpi is usually overkill - for our hypothetical A4 flyer, you’d need a file of 2490x3510 pixels for edge to edge printing, with a correspondingly high memory requirement and filesize even if using a compressed format.
• Keeping the layers intact is utterly unimportant for print work unless you want to use a separated colour print method that requires multiple passes to lay down each ink. If you send a file with all the layers, masks, etc. off for printing you’re liable to get it sent back unactioned, as they won’t want to take responsibility for choosing the wrong elements for printing. Save your work with everything intact, then save a flattened copy especially for printing purposes - this is one of the reasons Save Copy As… is a common option in graphics manipulation software.

This has been a Public Service Rebuttal.

FUCKING THANK YOU

As a designer who’s worked a few years for a newspaper, I cannot begin to tell you how much OP’s post (edit: response, technically) made me cringe. I would have killed to get a photo as a TIFF for once instead of having to tear apart PDFs only to find a 50x100px 72dpi shitty JPEG inside for the 5 millionth time…

JPEG and PNG are best suited for web formats (and it is perfectly fine to save your web version as JPEG, that’s what it’s goddamn for). You will make a designer cry if you send a web-safe JPEG for print, however. And if you have a vectorized logo saved as EPS (or even better, AI), you will make that designer’s year.

i hate this weird sense of internalized queerphobia of like. being visibly and really loudly queer is somehow immature and childish and one day you'll grow up and fall into cishet line and stop

#conforming is not synonymous with maturity

I love you so much for saying this
