I havent seen anyone talk about this yet so im making a post.
So lets say you’re researching something for a paper (or just for fun) and the research paper you want to read is behind a paywall, or the site makes you create an account first, or makes you pay to download, or limits you to only 5 free articles, or otherwise makes it difficult for you to read what you want.
do not fear! copy the link to the article
go to sci-hub.se (the url is always changing so its best to check out whereisscihub.now.sh to find what the current url is)
slap the article link in there
the feygoat! i wanted to make a doll with an unusual limb configuration, and ended up sculpting this little weirdo. their feet still need some adjustments for pleasant poseability, but here's some prototype pics in the meanwhile.

I really appreciate the eyes on this little guy.
My coworkers: what you'd do with your long weekend?
Me:
Cause what this blog needed was more animal crossing. ;p Anyway, placing stuff I got from the Sea Bass Emporium in my WIP houses. Appropriate, since Dia (green hair) runs a secret sea bass based cult.
It's from the Yakuza 3 remaster (it was cut from the initial release). It's on PSN right now and a physical copy of the game (bundled with 4 and 5) will be available next year.
Ripped it of the most HD video I can find and added a fade in/out. The nicer version is too big for tumblr, so I'll be putting the link in this post soon.
Done: http://sdrv.ms/1e1ryOC
Nearly every autistic person on the face of the Earth has been groomed for abuse from an early age.
We don’t attract abuse by being idiosyncratic or sincere. To say that is to blame our personalities. To say that that is to make yet another attempt at getting us to suppress ourselves, ruining our emotional and physical health.
We don’t stumble into abuse because we’re naive or poor judges of character. To say that is to infantilize us. To say that is to make yet another attempt at robbing us of our independence and agency, impoverishing our life experiences.
We find ourselves in toxic, abusive friendships and relationships because we are groomed for that shit by the authority figures in our lives who teach us how to behave and blend in while ignoring the nuances of interpersonal interaction - particularly the nuances of the sorts of interaction that happen when acquaintances become friends, when friends become close friends, or when our relationships with those friends become romantic and/or sexual. They simply don’t see those stages of relating as something we want, or, if we do want them, however desperately, they are dismissed as something that’s simply not in the hand we were dealt. We are taught only how to get by in shallow interactions, and left to trial and error should we wish to pursue anything beyond that.
Unfortunately, a lot of that “error” entails emotional, psychological, physical, and sexual abuse.
The graphic designer in me weeps with unfettered joy. Also, I'd by the shit out of these ads if they made them into prints.
