It's also worth noting that English uses "one" as a pseudo-pronoun so often that you're also allowed to make it plural.

Also, 7th edition APA officially uses the singular they. So, if your prof is being pissy about it, they technically can't do anything, so long as they allow that format.

Just a reminder for those going back to school:

Want an alternative for when you’re writing essays that have to remain in third person so you can’t say “you” and you’re talking about a hypothetical person, and traditionally you were taught to use “his or her” but that pisses you off because what about people who use other pronouns?

Not all teachers let you use they/them when referring to a single person if that person’s pronouns are unconfirmed, however you can actually use “one”, “one’s”, “oneself” etc

I’m bad at explaining this but I can give examples of sentences if that helps, because this doesn’t work for every situation

People, especially games, get eldritch madness wrong a lot and it’s really such a shame.

An ant doesn’t start babbling when they see a circuit board. They find it strange, to them it is a landscape of strange angles and humming monoliths. They may be scared, but that is not madness.

Madness comes when the ant, for a moment, can see as a human does.

It understands those markings are words, symbols with meaning, like a pheromone but infinitely more complex. It can travel unimaginable distances, to lands unlike anything it has seen before. It knows of mirth, embarrassment, love, concepts unimaginable before this moment, and then…

It’s an ant again.

Echoes of things it cannot comprehend swirl around its mind. It cannot make use of this knowledge, but it still remembers. How is it supposed to return to its life? The more the ant saw the harder it is for it to forget. It needs to see it again, understand again. It will do anything to show others, to show itself, nothing else in this tiny world matters.

This is madness.

Dildo Generator

Online 3D experiment by Ikaros Kappler which is described as a “Extrusion/Revolution Generator” ….

Created with three.js, you can alter the bezier curves and angle of the form, and is designed with 3D printing in mind (models can be exported and saved, as well as calculated weight in silicone).

Try it out for yourself (if you wish) here

I see a lot of talk about how neurodivergence evolved and stayed in the gene pool because it was somehow ‘useful’ to our ancient ancestors. While I don’t necessarily disagree with this theory, I would like to propose an alternative. A theory that we already have physical evidence for. Humans just love each other and care for each other. Don’t you think that a species that cared for it’s people while they recovered from broken bones, or nursed their elderly well beyond their ‘usefulness’ would leave a member out because they didn’t make eye contact, or couldn’t stay focused on a particular task, or whatever other trait you associate with neurodivergence? I really don’t.

Sure, maybe it was useful to have someone around who didn’t mind making arrowheads all day, or who knew absolutely everything about all of the local flora and fauna, or who keyed in on every little distraction. At the end of the day, though, these people weren’t kept around because they were useful, they were cared for because they were loved.

Mark Hamill is like the Tony Hawk of cartoon voice actors; in spite of the fact that he’s been doing it for decades and has played some of the most well known characters in some of the most popular shows around, everybody is still absolutely flummoxed to learn that their favourite character was voiced by Mark Hamill.
