tao running at the contestants screaming from 10 seconds away being the chosen unit of timekeeping in this episode just delights me utterly

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I love how Suzanne included the details of the hair and eye colour of Katniss and Peeta's children. On repeated occasions, it is emphasised that a social divide exists between the olive-skinned, dark-haired, grey-eyed Seam folk and the pale, blond, blue-eyed town folk. Although Katniss primarily attributes this to being a facet of the class divide, there are certainly racial connotations to this social disparity (which the headcanon that Katniss is Indigenous demonstrates well).

Suzanne doesn't mention their children's names. But she does mention their features--a true blend of the dark and the light, the grey and the blue. These children are a visual marker for the changes in 12 and at large Panem for a better future; not just of a world without the Games or the hunger, but without the prejudice that allowed that system to flourish.

current favourite part about the latest game changer is how the group of dancers popping up every prompt is completely unnecessary for the conceit of the episode to work. but they're there anyway and it's a delightful time

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence

HUGE DAY FOR ANNOYING PEOPLE

[akin-toitall]

As a society we have benefited so much from successful public health measures that we now have the privilege of declaring that we must not need them anymore

Bitch before enriched flour, neural tube defects like spina bifida were far more common. Even now, spina bifida clinicians and researchers are begging to have salt and maize fortified to reach groups that don’t use as much flour. Before iodized salt, the United States had a fucking GOITER BELT. Eleven years after the introduction of fluoridated water, a city in Michigan found the rate of dental caries among school children dropped a staggering 60%— in an era where tooth decay regularly fucking killed people

I’m literally not even going to start on vaccines, which are among the most successful and robustly studied public health measures in world history

You might say “oh well today we all have access to vitamins and toothpastes and dentists so we don’t need those things in our food supplies” and boy do white people on social media loooove to fucking say that. But here’s the thing: no, people don’t all have easy access to those things. That’s privilege talking yet again

People who watch Dropout shows without subtitles are missing out

And another thing about the hunger games movies: Katniss's wardrobe was... Not good and very lackluster compared to how her clothes and what Cinna designed is presented in the books.

I have a bone to pick with the wedding dress that turn into the Mockingjay dress... that thing is ugly as fuck in the movie and I know this was supposed to contrast the with the simplicity of the Mockingjay dress but it's also supposed to be beautiful.

also the first dress in the first movie looks like a prom dress instead what is described in the books.

Also,also we need to talk about the outfits from the victory tour and how less colorful all of it is.

Wonder how Snow or any capitalites who were alive during the dark days felt about Katniss targeting the career food supply. Just like how the rebels cut off the capitol food supply back in the day.
