    Perplexity Description

    The Creeper from the Jeepers Creepers film series is a monstrous, ancient entity that emerges every 23 years for 23 days to hunt and feed on human body parts, which it uses to regenerate and sustain itself.

    Physical Description

    • Humanoid Form: The Creeper has a humanoid shape with a tall, imposing figure.
    • Skin and Texture: Its skin is leathery and pale green, giving it a reptilian or bat-like appearance.
    • Facial Features: It has a grotesque face with sharp, pronounced features, including razor-sharp teeth and a pair of extra nostrils near the bridge of its nose, which it uses to smell fear and identify desirable body parts in its victims.
    • Claws and Talons: The Creeper has long, pointed fingernails and talons on its feet, which it uses for attacking and climbing.
    • Wings: It possesses large, bat-like wings that enable it to fly and swoop down on its prey.
    • Apparel: To blend in, it often wears tattered human clothing, including a long coat, hat, and boots.

    Behavior and Abilities

    • Feeding and Regeneration: The Creeper sustains itself by consuming human organs, which it uses to replace its own failing body parts. This ability makes it nearly immortal, as it can heal from severe injuries by consuming the appropriate human parts.
    • Hunting Method: It hunts by instilling fear in its victims, as it can detect fear through its enhanced sense of smell. This makes it particularly effective at choosing its prey.
    • Intelligence and Creativity: Despite its monstrous nature, the Creeper is highly intelligent and displays a morbid creativity. It decorates its lair with the bodies and body parts of its victims, treating them as trophies.
    • Weapons: The Creeper uses a variety of weapons, many of which are crafted from the bones and flesh of its victims. It is particularly fond of throwing weapons and has a medieval battle axe.
    • Vehicle: It drives a modified, decrepit 1941 Chevrolet COE truck, which it uses to transport bodies and to chase down potential victims.

    Origins and Mythology

    • Ancient Entity: The exact origins of the Creeper are shrouded in mystery, but it is believed to be a demonic or supernatural being that has existed for centuries. Some theories suggest it may be based on the Mayan god Camazotz, associated with death and sacrifice.
    • Feeding Cycle: The Creeper’s activities are cyclical, emerging every 23rd spring for a 23-day period to hunt and feed before returning to hibernation.

    Personality and Traits

    • Sadistic Nature: The Creeper enjoys the hunt and the fear it instills in its victims, often toying with them before making the kill.
    • Artistic Tendencies: It has a twisted appreciation for art, creating sculptures and decorations from the remains of its victims.
    • Resilience: The Creeper is incredibly resilient, able to survive and heal from extreme injuries, making it a formidable and nearly unstoppable force.

    The Creeper is a terrifying and complex antagonist, blending elements of horror, supernatural mythology, and sadistic intelligence to create a truly nightmarish creature.

    I know what my next big tech purchase is, and it’s not from Apple, Amazon, Google or Microsoft. It’ll be the new guide robot from @glidance.io. Had a demo of the device on Wednesday and it’s been decided.

    Destiny is seated at a desk, facing a computer screen, with her back to the viewer. She is wearing a blue cloak or robe and has blue hair or a blue head covering that matches the cloak. Surrounding her are five colorful dragons:  - Talor, the green dragon, positioned to her left, is relaxed and playful, likely to find Destiny an acceptable playmate and would enjoy playing video games with her. Talor might give up if muzzled. - Brittany, the pink dragon, next to Talor, is friendly and affectionate, likely to cuddle Destiny while singing and would be the best caregiver if Destiny were sick. Brittany is also the most likely to sing "Mary Had A Little Lamb" or "Little Bunny Foo Foo." - Evan, the purple dragon, to the far left, is calm and thoughtful, making him the best choice for a therapist and likely to entertain Destiny's alternative tastes. Evan would hum a song if muzzled and is most likely to sing "Jesus Loves Me" or "The More We Get Together." - Sarah, the blue dragon, to her right, is focused and attentive, making her the most capable of carrying a tune and the best communicator for Destiny if she were unable. Sarah is likely to sing "Shake It Off." - Skylar, the red dragon, to the far right, is intense and ambitious, likely to lead a sing-along and might try to muzzle another dragon. Skylar would persist in singing even if muzzled and is most likely to sing "Crocodile Rock."  The overall theme emphasizes that accessibility is for everyone, with each dragon contributing to a supportive and inclusive environment.

    If there were a contest awarding a prize for the best graphic demonstrating the importance of accessibility for all, what would you submit? Text only descriptions of the graphics are perfectly fine.

    The image shows a scene with a person sitting at a desk, facing a computer screen. The person is surrounded by five colorful dragons, each with a unique color: green, blue, red, pink, and purple. The dragons appear to be interacting with the person or the computer. Above the image, the text reads "Accessibility," and below the image, the text reads "Is For Everyone!" The overall message seems to emphasize the importance of accessibility for all.

    BPI Fall Social

    I’ve been playing with canva and exploring its accessibility and whether or not alt text transfers out. in case it doesn’t, here’s a description of the imbedded design: The image is a promotional poster for an event called the “BPI Fall Social” happening in September 2024. The text “Join the fun at bpi.gay” is written at the top. The central part of the image features a colorful, fantastical dragon with vibrant scales in shades of blue, green, purple, and red. The dragon is perched on a bridge over a river, with a city skyline in the background. The sky is filled with dramatic, colorful clouds, suggesting either sunrise or sunset. The text “BPI Fall Social” is overlaid on the image of the dragon.

    If you’ll excuse me, I need to exchange all my #Apple gear for Microsoft and Android. At least they have a way for me to sync ringtones and their accessibility help desks give you answers other than, Well it works for us so we don’t know what the problem is.

    🧞 When you enter a social situation and someone misgenders you—not a huge deal, then makes such a show of correcting that everyone in the room has a front row seat to to the shit show… That, I’ve just discovered, is worse than someone getting it wrong by accident to begin with or just not giving a fuck and doing whatever they want..

    This is definitely worth listening to, particularly the part about Braille books being burned. If you don’t see parody between that and what is going on now, I’d love to try on your realitiy blinders.

    Thank you for the kind words. also, for the chance to appear as part of this important project.

    Reply with Your Affirmations to Acknowledge Be my Eyes' New Inclusive language Guide!!!

    Received Be My Eyes’ Inclusive Language Guide. I am surprised by some of the results, particularly the ease with which person-first language (a lot of work for no pay-off in my experienced opinion as a receiver of this language) is being ushered out the door. I acknolwledge I have some unlearning to do in this area, mostly pushing back on the administrations’ idea that person-first language is still correct. FTR, I still taking each person’s lead on which language you use is still the most fullproof way to go.
