whoops i’m in love
i know nothing about touhou
but now i want to
someone explain
So yeah
What I know about Touhou
It is, of course, set in Japan. But not quite in Japan, because the land Gensokyo is protected by a “clap your hands if you believe” border. which has been up for a hundred years or so.
A thousand some years ago was the last period of aggression, but after the people of the moon handed their respective posteriors back to them, the whole war thing suddenly went out of style.
Everyone that knows magic age-locks themselves to look young. So someone that looks in their teens is late to the party, a little slow in the head, or really powerful. Also, anyone short is probably really powerful. Alternatively, they are all really powerful.
If you see anyone’s’ head hopping by, feel free to eat it. It apparently is not their head.
The one who disappeared without her parasol is the one who lead the moon invasion. Among her arsenal of magics is gaps, which are like portals (the game portal) but with creepy detours.
The shrine maiden is an actual shrine maiden and gets pranked a lot?
This is what I know about Touhou and its setting
So uh.
We read an article in class about burning the Quran?
And um. This really makes me uncomfortable because like, if I’m not mistaken, that’s the Muslim’s bible(?) and my aunt’s a Muslim and yeah. >:
I mean, she had already gone through some shit after 9/11. Like, people in her neighborhood spray painted over her house “go home” and…yeah. So this whole article makes me uncomfortable and the class discussion we’re about to have will make me feel uncomfortable.
:/
i think it was something that happened yesterday like a christian church somewhere burned up the qu’ran
not sure why, i didn’t catch the whole story but the bit i heard just made me think what the fuck
i remember for an art project in high school i burned a copy of i want to say catcher in the rye
it was one of the most uncomfortable things that i ever did and i hope i never do it again
i also burned a flag which didn’t really make me feel bad at all, make of that what you will
Please consider what burning a book, or otherwise destroying it is:
If you burn a book, it can no longer fulfill its purpose, to be read.
It can no longer be enjoyed.
It can no longer provoke thought.
It can no longer provoke debate.
The intentional burning of a book can be - and usually is, a statement.
“This work should not be considered. By me, by anyone. Ever again. It has absolutely no benefit for anyone now, and will never have any.”
There may be other copies of the book. That doesn’t soften the statement.
Oh yeah? Well, I donated 0 billion dollars. My press has never been better…
Obviously, as “Junior Corporate Executive”, my BS resources are limited.
Heck yeah image descriptions
sqbr:
I’ve posted before about why I think people should add image/video descriptions, but a common response is “I can’t imagine many people who need them would use tumblr”.
So I asked some disabled fans and sure enough, there are people on tumblr who use these descriptions (and not always because of visual problems or any sort of disability). Since (a)People who have trouble with some images etc may be able to access others (but would appreciate having the ones they can’t made more accessible too) and (b)Sometimes irritatingly inaccessible things have no accessible equivalent so you put up with it.
I realise that detailed descriptions and transcripts can be a pain (my own energy/cognitive issues mean I often can’t do more than a vague description myself) But if possible, when you post an image, video, or audio clip think about whether or not there’s a short simple description you could add which would help get across the point to someone who can’t access the content fully or at all. Two obvious examples are transcribing images of a single sentence of text and giving the artist and title of videos and music.
Also, if you read this tumblr and DO use these descriptions: is the way I do them helpful, or would you rather I did it differently?
(I’m now wondering about DeviantArt and the Homestuck fanart boards, which are the two other places I tend to post images, and where one might assume noone needs image descriptions but probably not be entirely correct)
Good lord, the issues screen readers would have with some pesterlogs-
But I digress- ad a web programmer, the biggest reason I do not use such descripttions is that there is no standard markup for them….
Wait. HTML5. Yes there is.
