in finnish, the '@' symbol is sometimes referred to as 'kissanhnta' [cat's tail] or 'miau', 'miau merkki' [meow marks]. in the pokemon universe, i thought it might be cute if the '@' symbol were called 'the mew' or 'mew symbol'

considering both bill and professor oak would know about mew, i imagined a conversation in which this term was coined in which professor oak tries (and finally succeeds) at sending his first email.

if tumblr ever does die, it's easy. if we were mutuals and had spoken before, contact me through discord dm or any of the surviving empire routes (messenger, instagram, whatsapp, imessage). if those are down or you never got my details but you do know my government name and location, send a letter to the general post office of my capital city. if we weren't mutuals or you don't know those details, leave a note in the comments section of my least-played amv on youtube like they did with historical ledgers on the walls of stores in pompeii. if youtube is down, pull out any bad screenshots of my posts (or fabricate some) and make some noise on r/HobbyDrama. if reddit is down, create an rpf tag on ao3 for my online persona and write your message into the fabric of a story. if ao3 is down, the discussion page for the wikimedia file upload of the largest scan of Landscape with the Fall of Icarus. if wikimedia is down, forums.whirlpool.net.au. if the internet is down we have no further business with each other

might seem like a harmless quirk but once you start typing in exclusively lowercase you can never capitalize anything again outside the designated midsentence Gay Emphasis Zones or anyone following you for longer than a week will think you’re about to commit murder

I need you folks who are going back to school to understand this, sleep deprivation is not something to be proud of. You are being fed capitalist propaganda to make you believe that working yourself to the bone is a good and smart business model from a young age. If all you do is “get 3 hours of sleep” because you’re studying, you’re just gonna burn out quicker, forget the information you’re trying to cram, and cause your brain to cannibalize itself.

Do not compete by making unhealthy habits. This will only fuck you up in the long run.

When I talk about how contemporary American neurodeterminist cultural attitudes are new, how they came about within my adult lifetime, how for the overwhelming bulk of human societies around the globe and throughout history they would have been considered ridiculous...

My point is literally never. Ever. Ever. "Retvrn to a better time."

I am not saying that other times/places/cultural norms about young people and neurodivergent people were ever BETTER.

I am saying that contemporary American attitudes are presented as objective, biological neurological reality, and they simply are not.

When I say "In 1950, a 25-year-old mother sending her 6-year-old child on an errand by himself would have been the most unremarkable thing in the world," I am not saying "Child-rearing and family life were better overall in 1950 than in 2025" because that is transparently false. That kid probably went to a segregated school and got polio. Everything was terrible.

What I am saying is "The fact that the abilities of a 6-year-old errand-runner or a 19-year-old new parent were assumed sufficient in a different cultural context is irrefutable proof that those presumed inabilities in our current culture are not in fact Biological Truths."

eternally confused by people like this who seem to think shelters intentionally label dogs in a way specifically designed to deter you from adopting them instead of just like… reporting the behaviors they’ve witnessed during the dogs stay at the shelter because that is literally all they have to go off of

I have to finish reformatting everything and adding an updated conclusion, but I'm working on getting this posted as a free guide on my Patreon page. I'm busy as hell today so I won't say exactly when it's going live, but I'm aiming to have it up by the end of the week. Patreon's text editor doesn't like it when I paste in big blocks of text, so everybody cross your fingers it doesn't keep freezing on me.

Severance is a cool show. Because, like. What if you knew nothing. No context. No idea who you are. No history. And, of course, you are scared, but you can’t leave unless you get permission from someone— the person who put you here— someone who will never listen. Someone who makes all the decisions, who says “I’m a grown-up person and you’re not.” And you’re naive and lonely, but at least there’s other people in the same boat as you. Someone, just been there slightly longer, is trying to shield you, trying to protect you, taking responsibility and taking on punishment they “can handle and grow from.”

Like. Oh yeah. I recognize this one. Someone else dresses you. Someone else feeds you. Someone else, who's just like you, but they get everything. The little toys and the waffle party. Helly is desperate and suicidal, but she still has to go to school work. You have to do work that doesn't make sense, but you'll understand eventually. The meaningless, manufactured rivalry between departments. The rumors??? “they have larvae that eat them?” “I’m livestock grown for food” “I’m a bodybuilder who has loads of girlfriends, but you don’t know them they go to a different school?” Punishment in the form of apologizing over and over, having to use all the right words, until you are believed. Endless hallways. Scary authority figures. "Are you mad at me?" Religion being the only type of media you see, until you read some shitty book that changes your life. Confusing, sudden camping trips that are supposed to fix you. Condescension. The words "innie" and "outie" are brought up multiple times as infantilizing. Of course his innie's voice is higher pitched????
