some people use "I like this character" to mean "I would like this person if they were real" and get confused when you insist those are two different things

Not to be a bitch but sometimes people engage with fiction in the most boring way possible, and nowhere is this clearer than in videogames. Like what you mean you hate a character just because they were kind of abrasive when speaking to the player character? "They were mean to me" and it didn't occur to you to wonder why? Like, what might their attitude toward you reveal about the world? About the social dynamics within it? About their own perspectives and backgrounds and personalities? Does it even occur you to ask? Would you only have liked them if they bowed to your presence and talked about how great you are? Like I'm sorry but you're so boring. How boring fiction would be if it cathered to you

I don't know how long this will last, but all I hear is: Iran, Israel, America... as if Gaza doesn't exist, as if the world has forgotten the people suffering there.

The American consumer doesn’t actually want trucks and cars that are huge enough that you can’t see a six foot tall person over the hood. They make vehicles that big now to avoid environmental regulations related to engine efficiency

quaker oats is disgusting and I will go out of my way to never eat anything made by them again. they kept at least one factory so disgusting that when the FDA said Hey you need to actually follow health regulations (in response to a MASSIVE fucking recall due to contamination that made a ton of people sick, and anecdotally myself and several people I know got sick from food that was NOT recalled) they said actually it would be too hard to follow health regulations and SHUT THE FACTORY DOWN INSTEAD

AND THEY TARGET SO MANY OF THEIR PRODUCTS AT CHILDREN

Yes I'm an introvert who never goes out of his way to meet new people. Yes I'm slowly becoming friends with the woman who runs the consignment shop I walk past on my nightly walks one brief conversation at a time. Yes we exist.

THE ENTIRE WEST IS BEING PUT UP FOR SALE AND I AM BEGGING YOU TO CALL YOUR SENATORS

Trump’s budget bill has many, many things in it, but buried amongst it is the MILLIONS OF ACRES OF PUBLIC LAND FOR SALE.

This is the entirety of the Arizona state forests, the entire Cascades mountain range. Swathes of pristine desert around the national parks in Utah. On the doorstep of Jackson Hole.

THIS BILL IS BIG, BUT IT CAN BE AMENDED AND ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT PASS AS IS please.

If you have ever enjoyed the wilderness, we stand to lose it all forever.

CALLING your senators - NOT JUST IN THE WEST. ALL SENATORS, is CRUCIAL.

Outdoor alliance has a great resource for reaching out.

I don’t have a huge following but please, everywhere I have ever loved, the forests I grew up playing in, the land I got married on, is all at risk and I am begging.

I have no particular stance on whether estrogen would have saved Shinji, but I'm looking at it from the family dynamic angle, and... well, Jesus Christ. On a good day, Shinji already looks like a teenage soft butch version of Yui Ikari – can you imagine how Gendo would react to his "son" slowly morphing into his dead wife?

Murderbot showing up in Exit Strategy like “whats up ive been on a journey of self discovery and i’m back. you’re doing everything wrong btw” is SO funny from PresAux’s perspective

The Residence is a really good illustration of this. There's a running joke early on where there's a specific incident that happened that caused some people to run outside to check it out, and every eyewitness remembers the specifics of that incident very differently. (I'm pretty sure we never even learn what the exact details are.) Later on, when one of the witnesses is being questioned, genius detective Cordelia Cupp has to call in to stop the congressman who's questioning him (long story) from asking for specific details about who he saw, because she knows those kinds of details are so unreliable. The show never even comes out and says as much; it just demonstrates the plasticity of narrative through evidence and implication.

okay last thing I'll say before shutting up, but people really do underestimate how bad their own memories are. I saw this one person detailing a 'toxic' interaction they'd had with me, and someone replied with "omg that's vile. that changes my whole opinion of them." and meanwhile I was just reading this like uhhhhhhh because I did remember that person and that specific interaction, AND IT WASN'T WITH ME! IT WAS WITH AN AUSTRALIAN DOG BLOG! I AM ABSORBING THE CRIMES OF AUSTRALIAN DOGBLR BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN'T REMEMBER THEIR OWN LIVES!

alright I'm done, I'm done, it's exorcised.

I wonder if the transphobic and artistic hate I face is because my art about my trans man experience actively rejects traditional (often white Western) ideas of masculinity and embraces my own expression of femininity and blackness simultaneously while retaining some bits of masculinity but all three are harmonious with each other

experts don't want you to know this! (because it's made up)
