Protestors at events I've been to tend to skew older, and I have been told several times how happy they are to see someone young like me at these things. (I'm not even that young; late millennial.) I suppose this is a psa or something for people in my age range, older generations are protesting for our future, and I think it would mean the world to them if more of us were there to show support.
#this isn't a ''protest or you're evil'' kind of post. or a ''protests are the best form of resistance'' post.#i don't know how much good protest actually does insofar as affecting policy. maybe a lot maybe nothing i don't know.#i guess i'm making this post bc some people i talked to today seem a little scared at how few of us seem to care about what's happening#i know that we do care. but evidently they've seen little enough support from our generation that it's disheartening.#so that's all i'm saying. they're showing up. most of the people today looked to be in their 50's or 60's and they're showing up for us.#i know we're all jaded and tired but it seems worth it to return the favor. build solidarity. agree that we're worth fighting for.#also. uh. at this point you should probably be doing something? even if not this. things are genuinely a new kind of bad right now.

My least favorite thing about autocorrect is how it always corrects "themself" to "themselves."
#i'm a ''singular they conjugates to themself" truther#i'm not talking about a group of people here there's nothing plural about them#but even if you disagree. come on. ''themself'' objectively exists as a word. people use it. texts use it. autocorrect shouldn't do that.#wait also. tangent in tags moment. please disregard if you wish to commiserate about original post.#(gonna stop complaining about technology and start complaining about human decisions)#while i'm on the subject of conjugating pronouns#they/them/theirs does not actually translate to he/him/his. why do people do that. it's they/them/their.#and for that matter if you're doing that it's probably also she/her/her not she/her/hers. if you gotta include three pronoun examples.#you know:#talk to him/talk to her/talk to them#his book/her book/their book#''theirs'' and ''hers'' aren't proper analogs to ''his'' why do people do this#like i GUESS ''the book is his/the book is hers/the book is theirs'' but that's less common usage isn't it?#as well as being very obvious extrapolations of ''her'' and ''their''#also what's even the point. most people if seeing he/him or she/her or they/them can probably figure out the rest#well apparently they might not get ''themself'' but maybe that one's controversial and other people are wrong and prefer ''themselves'' idk#(i don't actually mind if that's what you prefer for yourself#but for me personally they/them isn't expression of gender but rather a lack thereof and so i'm discussing grammar of gender neutrality)

My favorite ads are definitely the ones for fox news.

Well, I was convinced to go to a party with promises of free food and also by nature of not having anything else to do today, so I guess I'm doing the superbowl thing. Fortunately there is someone else here who has also literally never seen a football game, so talking with him has been nice, but man this shit is incomprehensible to me. Even if I was a fan of the game, I think I'd still find the constant cuts to ads unbearable, are there always this many ads during football?
#these ads are not even good#like i tend not to like ads on principle but i can at least recognize if they're funny or well-executed#these....i would not have paid to put these on tv.#but being here has been okay. met a cool guy. there's a very chill dog here to pet. snacks.#my main takeaway about the game itself is that the timer on the screen has no correlation to how long anything takes#(genuinely i have never seen a football game before. growing up my father tried to get me into baseball and basketball but not this)

Thanks guys.
What's the name of that trope where a character is made out to be super strong or badass, but where they don't actually do anything, they exist for someone else to defeat them to prove how cool they are for having wrecked a strong character, but in practice they don't come off as cool instead the original character just comes off as weak and useless? What's that called?
#was worf really so useless as to have multiple iterations of this trope named after him?#it's been a while since i've seen the show#i guess if you're fighting enemy ships or psychic light entities then what's one klingon with a phaser gonna do#and also riker was the leading adventure man and data was the one with superhuman strength so he probably got relegated a lot#but was it really this bad? should i join a hashtag worfdeservedbetter campaign?

I always feel like these books drift a bit somewhere in the middle for me, but they have really strong beginnings and endings.
#i just don't tend to find anne rice's old vampires to be as interesting as her younger ones#although imo the twins' story was a definite improvement over the other infodumps of its kind that this series has had#i do love that while the ancient vampires are discussing the fate of the world and half of humanity dying daniel is just kinda there#he's just happy to be included#also enjoy at the ending writing that a character is alive and then telling her friend she's dead knowing full well he'll read this book#it is still really funny to me these past two books making louisXlestat out to be a happy wholesome couple#good for them i guess#although i do not understand why they don't both hate armand. especially if louis has moved past his nihilism phase.#anyway that was fun. guess i'm continuing malazan again now. grant me strength.

I do like the POV of the girl calling the first two books pretentious and long-winded.
#the conceit that these books exist in universe does break down a LITTLE if you get too into it#like iwtv includes a scene after the interview where daniel goes looking for lestat at the end#but this book explained that iwtv exists based on him having sent the tapes of the interview itself to a publisher#and lestat's autobiography ends with a description of the rock concert and its aftermath#but in this book his autobiography clearly existed and was read by the characters long before the concert#anyway#the vampire chronicles

The Queen of the Damned is so funny, Lestat has another introduction wherein he says he's still super hot, he's the best rock star ever, he's wearing tight jeans, he's going to tell the story from other POV's but when they comment on how attractive he is those are their canonical true-to-life opinions not anything he made up, and then he reminds everyone again that he definitely fucked his mom. Then the book's first act consists of a bunch of new POV's from various characters from all around the world, all of which manage to shoehorn in some scene where they listen to his rock music and comment on how great his rock music is, and how even if they're not into rock, Lestat's music is just that good.
#picking these books up again#or one of them#needed a palate cleanser before i try my hand at another malazan book#this book is so silly. daniel is my new best boy. i didn't have a best boy for this series but now i do.#the vampire chronicles#i like how this series went from two men living together in tentative domesticity as an allegory for queer romance to this#this book is very gay you guys would like it#even though louisXlestat still almost feels like a retcon from iwtv's text

My cousin just texted me out of the blue asking for fantasy novel recs, so this is my karmic reward for reading a book that my friends really wanted me to read but which I'm not that into.
#i guess this year's off to a good start with a free opportunity to talk about a heck ton different books i like#basically said: here's a dozen books and their vibes and they're all over the place so hopefully something here looks fun#out of the list i provided he picked out the taltos books and scholomance (he likes lok lamora and some ya books so it's not surprising)#it was nice to hear from him. we live on opposite sides of the country so i don't know him well but i like him. he's cool.#side note: my friends are so funny about the malazan books.#i say: guys i'm really sorry i know you love this book but i'm not getting into it or vibing with any of the characters#and they're like: yeah i didn't like or understand anything in the first book either. tell me what else you think :)#i've decided to ask them questions if i'm confused rather than trying to figure things out myself. it makes them very happy.#for context i have these two friends who for years have been begging everyone they know to read this series#eventually i told them that if they bought me a book i'd read it#so they did#they're very desperate for a third person to talk to

Or I guess, male followers, if your self loathing calls you a "foolish man" then that's another valuable data point.

Right so I'm reading a new (well, classic but I've never read it before) fantasy book, and I don't want to put it on the spot because I feel this is an exceedingly common thing in fantasy novels I've seen that are written by men. But I do have a question for any of my female followers. So when you make a mistake or feel an irrational emotion, or are confused about something, do you chide yourself using phrases like "silly girl" and "foolish woman"? I feel like every major female POV I've seen in a fantasy novel written by men does this, and maybe this is something that other people really do say to themselves, but I don't really see male characters calling themselves "foolish man" in their internal monologues. Anyway, women, I guess let me know if those specific phrases ring true to your experiences so it can stop bothering the hell out of me whenever a female character calls herself that.
#why are these specific phrases so ubiquitous#for reference i'm reading gardens of the moon but once again i don't want to put it on the spot bc SO many books do this#give me a major female pov in a fantasy novel and i'll find for you where she calls herself a foolish woman or silly girl#like. i'm obviously no stranger to self deprecating thoughts but for me they have never sounded like that.#do they sound like that for other people? (specifically women)#even if other people do talk to themselves like that you may want to lay off those phrases if for no other reason than they're overused#(very obviously the context is not ''i'm a silly girl :3''#but rather ''you silly girl you thought you could help but you only made things worse'' kinds of thoughts.#not a lot of the former in the fantasy novels i read.)

Hey there games-as-art crowd, you should all play Indika, it's really good.
#just finished playing it with my sister and i liked it a lot#it's a good one to play with a friend if you like dissecting a game's artistic choices after every scene#which i do and which i think was worth it for this one#it is VERY cinematic as in uses the language of film but it is not trying to be a movie. it is happy to be a game. it loves being a game.#likable and interesting characters and excellent layered storytelling that all complement its chosen themes#unrelated but i think i've said the exact phrase ''it's really good'' about this game like ten times in the last two days#''thanks for playing this with me. it's really good.'' - me four times in a row as i'm leaving the call
