hello everyone! :) my current project is a choose-your-own-adventure style thing, and I've decided to include frequent black and white art to add ✨ flavour ✨ ...except I'm a little unsure about the implementation of the images themselves. I understand how to add and link the images and it works fine, it's just that the situation with imgr being banned in the uk has made me a bit cautious when it comes to the reliability of image-hosting sites. if anyone has any advice on alternative methods, I'd sincerely really appreciate it!

hi yall! so, quick history: I have hypermobile ehlers danlos syndrome, pots, and cfs/me (which causes intense fatigue). after years of using a cane and experiencing pain and pressure in my legs, I decided to get an active manual wheelchair via ebay, and it DID reduce the pain in my legs... but I had the same amount of fatigue, since I was pushing myself without a power assist device of any kind and also the pavements in my town suck ass (the camber!!!!!!) so I had to push extra hard to avoid veering into the road. these days I have a whill c2, which is a powerchair with fancy wheels that let me rotate on the spot – very good for shops – and get over curbs pretty easily. it's great! but I still find myself looking at active wheelchairs with a kind of longing, and I'm not quite sure how to sit with that feeling?

I miss moving feeling quick and easy and immediate (my powerchair is pretty fast, but there is a slight delay between input and movement), I miss being able to get my chair in the car without the use of a mini crane, I miss being able to fly abroad to see my dad without spending the whole flight worrying about my chair being damaged... and this last one is more of an ableism thing and not me, but I miss the way people treated me when I used a manual vs an electric. I live in a small town and the etiquette is to smile or otherwise greet most people you pass, and older people especially go a bit weird when I say hello. people can't decide if they should treat me like a child or awkwardly ignore me, and I try to make a joke out of it (disabled person jumpscare!!) but it does wear on me.

all this to say, I have a hard time processing all of this. part of me thinks that if I really find transporting it so inconvenient and prefer the way a manual felt, I should just get one with power assist? but also... I don't want to feel worse again? I'm not really seeking advice, but if anyone's been in a similar situation, I'd love to hear about it!

hi yall! I've been playing the sims 4 recently and having a lot of fun with a colour-coded legacy challenge, which I'm currently on the 2nd generation of – I like to gather name ideas ahead of time, though, and I'm looking for potential names I could give to the 3rd gen sim, who'll be themed around yellow/gold :]

​

the previous names have been cherry and clementine btw! the fruit theme was entirely unintentional but kind of funny

sul sul everyone 👋 after a bit of a break from the sims 4 I'm hoping to get back into it with a legacy challenge, but I feel like I've already tried the ones I'm familiar with... hence this post!

my favourite legacies are colour-coded (like not so berry) and not too intense with goals/restrictions, but I'm chronically ill and play games to relax so I'm perfectly willing to shoot a challenge with the 'I'm not doing all that' beam if it makes it more enjoyable. mostly I just like the prompts for storytelling!

thanks in advance for any suggestions :)
