What Doth The Fox Say, My Liege?

lord the peasants are so loud today

I saw you love red, white, and royal blue and I've just gotta ask you: have you heard of Burn the House Down by Kenna Jenkins? It's an alternate history novel abt the 1st woman president and her secret sapphic relationship/bearded marriage with her mlm best friend. It also includes a subplot about arson at the White House, ft. An entirely queer main cast and really fleshed out characters, and has a really satisfying ending!

That sounds amazing!! I'll definitely need to check it out.

thats my boy, always squaring up with literal gods

In case anyone finds it helpful because mobility aids are horrifically expensive and inaccessible…

And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…

Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.

He also is working on cheap, open source, accessible designs for beach chairs, off road chairs, motorized attachments (think smart drive), and so on. Plus he skateboards in his wheelchair. Cool dude, helpful info, pass it on.

My personal headcanon:

When Cecil moves to the GDA, he meets the OG Donald and they kind of hit it off. It starts as a friends with benefits stress relief sort of thing (Cecil is a grumpy old gay man and he hates connection because it gives people leverage over him), but eventually Donald forced Cecil to confront his actual feelings for him. They start this whole secret relationship, and just when Cecil is starting to truly let his guard down, Donald dies. And then he's brought back as a robot. And Cecil is like "okay, cool, my boyfriend is back, we can continue as normal" and quickly realizes that Donald doesn't have his memory back. And Cecil starts spiraling. I mean, he's distancing himself as much as possible, he's throwing himself into work, he isn't sleeping, you get the picture. And Donald 2.0 is worried about his boss. He steps into a caretaker sort of role, trying to get Cecil to stop being a stubborn dick and actually take care of himself. Cecil decides to try again, because if he couldn't have Donald 1.0 back, maybe a fresh start will be fine. And so Cecil and Donald 2.0 get together. And then Donald dies. Again. When Donald 3.0 shows up, Cecil hardens his heart and refuses to try. He doesn't reciprocate any moves Donald makes on him, he acts strictly professionally. And for every version of Donald since, he keeps it steadfastly platonic, if he even lets him close enough to be friends. And still, nobody knows what the fuck is going on between them except for Cecil.

Somebody has to hear me out on Cecil X Donald.

Coworkers to lovers. Amnesia trope (sort of). And the ANGST? Oh, the angst would be crazy.

Like what do you MEAN you keep having to watch your partner die, and then you have to wipe his memory again and again? What do you MEAN he's not going to remember what you meant to him when he comes back, but he's going to fall for you again and again? What do you MEAN you have to decide whether to try again, knowing how it will end, or deny your heart and do the job? What do you MEAN-
