Time for the best first impression ever, fuck yeah. My name's Nome. I write words. Sometimes people think the words I write are good.

See below for my thread of threads of threads - things I've written that I'd like to be able to find or reference, many of them ported over from my time on Twitter.

Yolo often stands with his little back toes crossed, which I find ridiculously cute!
You can see vultures don't have bulky feet and talons built for grasping/carrying like other raptors. Their more chicken-like feet are meant for bracing on food to pull at it with their powerful beaks, instead.

If you are a gamer, compression gloves are good for you!

If you are an artist, compression gloves, elbow and wrist braces are good for you!

If you workout, all the braces are good for you!

Compression socks are amazing for conventions!

You don't need to be disabled to benefit from using them!
Everytime I advertise a product being accessible to disabled people. I lose sales because able-bodied people feel like it isn't for them as well.

My products are for anyone that likes or wants them. You don't need to view yourself as disabled to want them too.

Embracing a label of "disabled" made me more confident in asking for accommodations. I can't get through a full work day in person without suffering in pain.

If you're a chronically ill person, I welcome you to join this identity.

It was in fact a Rabbi who told me nineteen years ago that she wouldn't visit Israel, no matter how much it meant to her, until she could take the trip with a Palestinian friend and be equally welcome and safe everywhere.

So that was my context.
Also apropos nothing else, public opinion was turning against Israel before TikTok went mainstream

Today's the first real snow of the year, more than a month late, and it only reaffirms how fucking much I love the winter.

Even as a bike commuter.

I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

I can’t promise that this is the first time a Canadian publisher of a beloved children’s book series has publicly condemned the bloodthirsty US secretary of defense’s use of its imagery to smirkingly defend heinous war crimes. I mean who can say.

Start a business.

Any of a half dozen.

I'd start a queer tabletop game coop.

I'd start a workshop making a universal attachment system for wheelchairs and other mobility aids.

I'd start a late night dumpling restaurant.

I'd start a homeless shelter with job training and placement.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

Tell me something you're good at, a skill or talent, that you don't often give yourself credit for.

Bonus points if others have praised it about you, but you're uncomfortable with that praise.

System-specific copies.

My fantasy, if we're living in a digital age where you don't get a physical copy anymore, is buying a license for the game - and being able to download it on any system that can run it.
