shauna shipman has got to be one of the most interesting characters of all time. she’s bisexual. or jackiesexual. she keeps up with goth culture. she listens to weezer and the cranberries. she’s incredibly pretentious. she decides to pull out a gun on her teammate also ex girlfriend to prove she’s not insane. she owns a minivan. she drinks malibu and milk. she tries to seduce her husband with a british accent. she engages in adult cannibalism. she even loves cats.

Random behind the scenes YJ facts I love

Courtney Eaton requested that adult Lottie be played by someone who’s also Māori

Similarly, Melanie Lynskey suggested Simone Kessler even before she knew Lottie was a survivor

Sophie Thatcher has really good control over crying. Lots of actors can cry on command, but Sophie can cry a single tear on command and can choose which eye it comes from

Sophie Nélisse can immediately go from really intense emotional scenes to normal, while most of the cast would need prep and cool down time

so long as we're back to social justice 101 on this stupid website, u need to be aware of the feedback loop that emerges from disproportionate scrutiny: any social group that is placed under extra scrutiny, regardless of the actual prevalence of any particular behaviour, will appear to engage in that behaviour more often.

you see this most blatantly with racialised groups (more cops in black neighbourhoods = more arrests in black neighbourhoods = "omg look at all the crime in these neighbourhoods!" = more cops in black neighbourhoods etc). even if the rate of crime is the same (putting to one side the criminalisation of poverty which is also an important related factor), one group gets away with it way more often and a new generation of racists is indoctrinated with the crime statistics which "prove" that some groups are simply more criminal in nature. we see a similar phenomenon online with particular groups (trans women being a huge example) being subjected to mass stalking, their every move documented by weirdos and broadcast as representative of the group as a whole.

tl;dr - overscrutinising groups based on existing bigotries creates a recurring feedback loop, reproducing those bigotries across generations and nominally justifying them. this is bad, and you need to remember that you are not immune to it.

"Hellen Keller is not real" is a right wing propaganda. It's literally something that was pushed by eugenistic tiktokers two years ago at least because they don't believe disabled people like Hellen Keller can do anything for themselves.

The humble and beautiful PDF does not deserve to now have the term “PDF file” be a censored version of the word pedophile. She has been nothing but good to us. You all apologize right now

being abused or neglected really makes it clear how many things are skills that nobody really treats as. skills. exercising autonomy is a skill. listening to your body is a skill. resting is a skill. being liked and being loved are skills. nobody tells you how to do this shit because nobody even told me I was supposed to have learnt these things when I was a kid. I kind of just have to manually figure out what makes me freak out and work from there. unfair as shit

One thing that has made me a much more well-adjusted person is a clip I once saw of Hank Green saying that anyone can be in amazing shape as long as being in amazing shape is one of their top three priorities.

(This is obviously a generalization that isn't true for everyone. But it is true for most people and I'm proceeding from there.)

This "top three priorities" framing has genuinely reduced my tendency toward jealousy and self-comparison a lot. Now when I feel envious of someone’s spotless, aesthetic home, I think to myself, “Having a spotless, aesthetic home is probably one of their top three priorities. It’s definitely not one of mine, so I shouldn’t expect my home to look like that.”

Or when I see an influencer with a body that takes a ton of work to maintain: “Maintaining that body is obviously one of her top three priorities, because it’s her livelihood. My livelihood is my brain, so I’m never going to prioritize my body like that.”

It also helps me to identify areas that I actually DO want to prioritize more. I realized in recent years that my envy for my friends who prioritized writing more than I did was NOT going away, so I started to prioritize writing more. (Not top three, but higher priority than it has been in the past.)

Definitely agree that this person is onto something about who set the fire! I was very much on team "Ben did it" until he seemed so genuinely surprised when he heard about the fire from Mari.

I also thought it was suspicious that Coach Ben didn't know anything about the fire before Mari told him but I think the implication there is that he was underground the whole time? I can imagine him being too scared of the Yellowjackets (or frankly too cold) to leave the cave system during that time. He's probably still avoiding the cabin to this day to avoid being seen by the Yellowjackets.

this person might be onto something

the groundhog reportedly saw "a blood red sun. in the foreground a massive wheel framing the sun in the sky. the wheel has ceased to turn". nobody is sure what this means but its probably fine
