Weve gotta choose a social issue in business and figure out a way for technology to solve it

Im doing ableism (specifically towards people with mental disorders)

I cant figure out how to solve it with technology, any of the root causes. the ones that ive thought of (as in for root causes) are;

inadequate education/awareness

lack of accomodations (like mental health days)

demonisation of certain ones (like BPD, DID, NPD)

harmful stereotypes

use of terminology like 'narcs' about self entitled people, delulu about people who believe not true stuff (aka disillusioned), 'the intrusive thoughts won' in regards to impulsive thoughts (let me know more if you can think of them)

If anyone can think of more things that can cause ableism, please let me know

Okay, so I don't remember how I found this website but it is so good for denial sluts. It's called jrk-it.com. It's generally centered around people with penisis, but it can be used by anyone. It's a little confusing at first so I'll try and explain a little. You can make games using loops that you find or create to create an edging session. You can set an edging target for the day which if you don't hit, it can partially roll over into the next day. To hit your edging target you have to play jrk-it games for the amount of time you set before it will allow orgasms. You can also adjust the settings of games people share to not allow orgasms at all, only allow ruins or just good old fashion orgasms. There's even a setting where you can swap certain words out for words you're more comfortable with. Like if you don't like the word "clit" you can adjust it to tdick. Or if the game you're playing uses any language you're not comfortable with, you can change the words it uses. There's a bunch of really cool features and I'd really recommend checking it out. If there's any part you don't understand, you can ask me about it and I'll try to explain to the best of my ability!

Anyways the uncensored is on twt :3

If some of you remember the comic draft I shared a couple months ago- this is the final draft! Just wanted to say another thank you from everyones input and I really hope you enjoy the finished version. It’s part of a bigger project where i’ve interviewed multicultural people and told some of their stories relating to their experience.

Now that Buddy Daddies is finished, I’m gonna say it: SPOILERS!

Buddy Daddies really is for the aces, aros, queerplatonic partners, and platonic life partners out there. 

I know, 100%  that there are going to be some people out there that are going to say, “See! It really was just queerbait all along” or some who are going to bemoan the fact that there were no declarations of romantic love or kiss or whatever. I’m sure this part right here:

Miri: “Didn’t you slip out yesterday to go drinking with a girl again?” 

Caused some frowns and I do get it. Because of this, the queerbait and Kazuki and Rei are just friends dialogue will continue and follow the series around. But, this episode has made it clear that Kazuki and Rei love not only Miri, but each other as well.

They are a work partners (相棒 - aibou)

They are partners raising a child together. (相方 - aikata).

They’ve moved (I’m pretty sure their diner is in Okinawa for reasons I’ll get to in another post), they’ve opened a business together, one which has a part of Kazuki’s last name in it (来栖 - Kurusu is his last name, the 栖 (su) part of his name means “nest.”), and Rei’s words to his father: Miri, Kazuki, and I share a bond stronger than blood. 

They are a family. They love each other.

Of course, friends can be a part of a family. Friends can love each other, but there are also reasons why people who are in situations like co-parenting, queerplatonic relationships, platonic life partnerships, and etc. don’t refer to their bonds as friendships and the people they are co-parenting or in a partnership with as their friends, but as words that give some space for those grey areas in-between.

Friendships are strong, deep, and beautiful. Platonic love is love and is powerful.

But, there are definitely still different sets of expectations and boundaries that come with friendships vs. other relationship dynamics. 

Kazuki and Rei’s situation falls outside of the usual friendship expectations and boundaries and sits somewhere between that, family and partnership.

I know this topic has been talked to death about. But, I felt like I needed to write about and address it one final time since Buddy Daddies has come to an end (though, who knows about a potential Daughter Daddies!) Especially after Miri’s line to Kazuki. (I feel I could also go into open relationship dynamics, polyamorous relationships, and etc. but that feels like it would be derailing). 

Basically, I just wanted to get one final post out on this. I was very pleased with this ending episode. It made my heart so happy and warm, and I know I’ve said it before, but this series really speaks to me as someone who is aroace. Aroace characters and our relationship dynamics have basically no rep, so even if this series wasn’t intended to be written with a queerplatonic relationship dynamic in mind, they ended up writing a beautiful depiction of one that makes me and what I would want from a relationship of some kind, finally feel seen.

I had to, @ultfreakme
