so remember that worldbuilding website, notebook.ai, that was goin around and everyone was so excited, but it turned out you had to pay a (frankly outrageous) subscription to access any of the best tools?
“My grandmother wove in me a tapestry that was impossible to unwind,” Vigo said. “Since then, I’ve dedicated my life to the sea, just as those who have come before me.”
Like the 23 women before her, Vigo has never made a penny from her work. She is bound by a sacred ‘Sea Oath’ that maintains that byssus should never be bought or sold.
Instead, Vigo explained that the only way to receive byssus is as a gift. […]
“Byssus doesn’t belong to me, but to everyone,” Vigo asserted. “Selling it would be like trying to profit from the sun or the tides.”
More recently, a Japanese businessman approached Vigo with an offer to purchase her most famous piece, ‘The Lion of Women’, for €2.5 million. It took Vigo four years to stitch the glimmering 45x45cm design with her fingernails, and she dedicated it to women everywhere.
“I told him, ‘Absolutely not’,” she declared. “The women of the world are not for sale.”
The government is trying to evict her after shutting down her free museum to showcase her work because she refuses their demands she tell her secret.
She needs to raise €85,000 by November 2018 or the town will evict her. She’s only raised €6,472. The page says that there is no goal bc anything they raise is a success but the article says she needs the €85,000 in order to own her home and not be evicted. Chiara Vigo is an amazingly talented Jewish women who deserves to stay in her town close to the ocean !!
im never gonna stop thinking about the time i was standing in line for a hayley kiyoko concert in orlando and this guy walked by and said “damn, so many pretty girls in this line and no young men? maybe i should join you girls” and literally every woman in that line cracked up and said “wrong line pal”
SBURB is/was a game with perma-death. The kind where if a character in the game dies for whatever reason the story continues regardless, until you reach a point where the story just.. ends. Game Over. The only way to achieve the best ending from that point is either to start all over from the beginning and fix your mistakes. Or, cheat. John achieves the power of the meta game. He can activate no clip codes, instantly travel to any area he pleases, and most importantly, he can REVERT STORY PROGRESS. That’s why instead of creating an actual offshoot timeline he “F1X3S” the alpha timeline via cheats. TL;DR: John Egbert is the GameGenie of SBURB.
