i see a k/m/s or k/y/s joke (esp passive aggressive like "here is a joke about how i'm gonna joke it and u won't stop me, oh i'm a rebel i'm an outfit", ofc nobody gonna stop you) and i unfollow. my mental health is not strong enough for that. it's not about being "uncomfortable"

“From corporate boardrooms to government chambers, research continues to show that women are interrupted more often than men. A pioneering 1975 study carried out by sociologists Don Zimmerman and Candace West examined overheard 31 conversations between various combinations of people and found that in the 11 conversations between men and women studied, men were behind all but one interruption recorded.

Similarly, a more recent study conducted in 2014 found that a woman was more likely to be interrupted (by both men and women) than a man was. In a separate but more informal study conducted that same year, Kieran Snyder observed 900 minutes of conversations between men and women working in the tech industry. The study found that men interrupted others twice as often as women did and were nearly three times as likely to interrupt a woman as they were a man.”

if you want to actually start to end homelessness, you need to give homeless people unconditional homes, including when we use them to do drugs or sit around drinking. either housing is unconditional or it isn’t

someone sitting at home alone, an active alcoholic, squandering your charity, drinking all day is better situation than a street homeless alcoholic. someone using drugs in your charity house is better than them doing the same w no shelter

most of you would not like most street homeless people, I definitely don’t and didn’t when I was street homeless. for every one person who uses unconditional shelter to turn themselves around, someone else will do jack shit and very slowly, if ever, work through the issues that made them homeless, will maybe never be able to live independently. still better than street homelessness, still worth doing. ultimately either you believe that shelter should be universal or you don’t

homeless people actually can’t be rehabilitated if you want to end homelessness. we either affirm the right to shelter for the worst drunken, lying, filthy, cheating, self destructive homeless people that exist, genuinely irredeemable wankers, or we concede that shelter is not a right

Akira Main Character Map

another translation, this time of the character map from the AKIRA WORLD Hot Dog Press/Young Magazine special edition. I've wanted to do a full TL of the magazine eventually, but haven't found the time so I only did the CYOA game until now. However someone requested this so here it is. Nothing really new or exciting, but some of the character descriptions are funny, especially Kaneda's...

(sorry for my trash scans, if anyone can provide a better quality i would love you<3)

More under the cut !

Neo Tokyo Government

Don't think of anything but their own self-protection. A shameful bunch. Only one of them, the Colonel, is seriously thinking of what to do about “AKIRA”. An organization that gives a look at what the government will become in the near future(?). None of them understand the power of “AKIRA”, and none try to.

Masaru (Number 27)

Although not as strong as Takashi’s, he definitely has psychic powers. Like Kiyoko, he can’t walk on his own and sits in a baby chair, but he has the power to levitate so he can act on his own to some extent.

Kiyoko (Number 25)

She has excellent precognitive abilities, and foretold Akira’s awakening. Unable to walk on her own, she’s always laying in her capsule bed. She is like a madonna figure for Takashi and Masaru. She also can be said to be leader of the two of them.

Takashi (Number 26)

One of the residents of the Colonel’s lab. He has strong psychic powers. Mistaken for Akira and kidnapped by the revolutionary army, he was walking in the middle of the road in Neo Tokyo when he came into contact with Tetsuo.

Dr.

Chief researcher of the Colonel’s lab. He is the one who is in charge of Akira, who rests in a frozen capsule. A stereotypical academic type, he also has an idealistic side. In one scene, the Colonel called him a ‘romanticist’.

Colonel

Commander in chief of the country’s top secret ‘Akira Plan’. For the purpose of executing this plan, he manages a lab (research facility) where Takashi, Kiyoko and Masaru live. Kiyoko’s prophecy confirms that Akira will awaken, and he demands an outrageous budget to prevent this from happening. He plays the role of “a dependable soldier”.

Kaneda's Bike Team

Self proclaimed delinquent boys in excellent health, a group who does whatever they want. They’re so popular among bad boys, they even have groupies somehow. On very bad terms with the drug addicted Clown Team, they have a strong sense of team unity.

Tetsuo

While driving wild on the highway with Kaneda and the gang late at night, he comes into contact with Takashi. This awakens an unknown power in him, and he even turns against Kaneda, his friend since their days at the children’s home. It's pretty thought-provoking that a guy who was withdrawn until now suddenly gets a big attitude......?

Kaori

Tetsuo’s girlfriend. She stays by Tetsuo’s side when his psychic powers awaken, and is a pure, innocent beautiful(?) girl, which is rare these days.

Yamagata

The team’s second in command, he takes the role of special attack leader. However, he meets a tragic end as he is killed by Tetsuo who’s started to go berserk. This ignites Kaneda’s desire for revenge!

Kaneda

The team leader. He gets wrapped up in the conflict between the revolutionaries and the army surrounding Akira. A super toughguy with the lifeforce of a cockroach.

Kai

He doesn’t stand out much in the team, but plays an important role helping Kaneda in the latter half of the story. Dresses himself in tasteful trad fashion, but is simple at heart.

People's Revolutionary Army

An organized terrorist group, in a manner of speaking. They control things politically behind the scenes and are at Nezu's beck and call. In pursuit of the secret of Akira, their clashes with the Colonel-led army are a daily occurrence. They are a considerably large scale organization.

Kei

A strong-minded, beautiful girl with combat ability and initiative. She met Kaneda while escaping a failed attempt to take back Akira. They make for a unique odd couple, but unfortunately never had a ♡ scene.

Ryuu

A leader of the People’s Revolutionary Army. One of the few people who knows Akira’s true identity. He attempts to take back Akira under Nezu’s orders, but what will happen!?

Nezu

Leader of a party that is in opposition to the current administration. Behind the scenes, he manipulates Ryu’s guerrilla organization in an attempt to obtain Akira. Textbook example of a scheming politician. As his name suggests, he’s a nasty, sly rat-like man.

Clowns

Joker

Boss of the murderous motorcycle gang, the Clowns. In a massive brawl with Kaneda’s team, he sent many people to the hospital using his huge body and superhuman strength. However, he has a total weakness in the brains department.

Other

Miyako-sama

Founder of a new religion whose influence is growing in Neo Tokyo. Nezu is an ardent believer of this religion. She is powerful enough to foresee the disaster that would be caused by Akira, but in the anime she was sadly changed to just a pathetic praying old lady. However in the original work she is a powerful person rivalling Akira.

there are no hard rules for human interaction but honestly i think everyone online would benefit hugely from operating under the assumption that, unless you have been given a specific reason to think otherwise in discrete instances, internet strangers do not want to be approached with:

your trauma, illnesses, or deep-rooted self worth issues

any come-ons or sexual content

over-familiar playful rudeness

information about your dnd characters/ocs

disagreements with their harmless subjective opinions

if it is your first time speaking with someone i can not highly enough recommend that these do not be your opening topics
