the way these strikes get framed is always so funny to me
"the strike could stretch on until the end of summer" or the execs could pay their workers
"there won't be ANY new shows because of this strike" or the execs could pay their workers
"no more content for us because the mean old writers and actors are-" OR THE EXECS COULD PAY THEIR WORKERS
why are people even fucking with gatcha games the wikipedia random article button is $0 and i just rolled a 10th century byzantine encyclopedia on my 17th try
Very Silly Concept: a show called "Accessibility Nightmares" but it's structured exactly like Kitchen Nightmares. An accessibility specialist goes to different establishments and helps them make their businesses more accessible.
The accessibility specialist asks why the door at the top of the small set of stairs has a wheelchair symbol on it. The owner replies that's the accessible bathroom. The camera zooms in on the specialist as they process this information.
ALTA customer with a service dog comes in to a restaurant. The hostess tells them they don't allow dogs. The accessibly specialist looks over at the hostess like
ALTAnd there are web accessibility episodes too. The accessibility specialist stares at the white text on the light pink background of the home page like
ALTThe specialist asks why not a single product picture has alt text, and the business owner says "Well I mean, it's makeup, why would a blind person be shopping for makeup?" The specialist just
ALTThe specialist asks the web designer how a screen reader user is supposed to complete the captcha portion of the password reset process when there is no audio alternative. The designer admits they don't know.
this, but only if we get to yell at them like Gordon does.
Oh, 100%. In my head the accessibility specialist is actually still just inexplicably Gordon Ramsay. I was having a delightful time the other day imagining "your videos have auto-generated captions?" being said in the exact same way Gordon says "you're serving them frozen fish???"
But having the specialist be Ramsay-esque would be crucial, I think. On all accounts; just as Gordon is always patient and polite with the waiters and waitresses, the specialist would be patient and polite with the store staff answering questions about the accessibility options they do not control. But on the flip side, if the person who is in charge is being unnecessarily difficult or just straight up ableist, there is likely to be some yelling and dramatic background music involved.
til Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula, written 1978, was considered by the British Fantsy Society to be “one of the better” Dracula/Holmes crossovers. i was not previously aware this was a genre
i am sorry? Sherlock Homes vs Dracula? is a real book? and not a fever dream i had while scrolling through ao3????
apparently it’s a real genre and it doesn’t end there!
have you ever wanted to read a comic book pitting the wits of the famous Sherlock Holmes against the Menace of the world’s most infamous vampire? Now you can have multiple series!!!
In conclusion, die old, leave behind a body of literature for the world to ransack
you say this but I checked ao3 and to my shock and disappointement there are only 2 fics for Dracula/Sherlock, I am devastated
Good news Gaud! My flatmate’s grandad wrote a Sherlock Holmes/Dracula novel in 2011! Her grandma illustrated it!
I think you can only get it on Amazon unfortunately :(
Me and my other flatmates were actively campaigning for him to add a smut chapter. He said he’d think about it, but as he’s 96 I don’t know that there’s too much thinking time left :(
please tell your flatmate’s 96 year old grandpa that dozens of internet strangers are cheering for him/actively begging him to add a sherlock x dracula smut chapter to his sherlock x dracula fanfic
it is 2023 and I am once again reminding you that there are STILL only 2 Dracula/Sherlock Holmes works on ao3. do the heavens truly expect me to countenance this travesty??
lost two years of your life cause of covid - then got hit with inflation right after. we're down tremendously
And still gon thrive cus it’s what we do.
