i hate when people in movies/tv are reading ancient languages and they translate everything really smoothly and poetically, as if when people who study ancient languages aren’t consulting three different commentaries and sobbing profusely when we read

"autistic people need instructions for every simple task" okay how about we talk about the neurotypicals not following clear instructions. what do you mean it didn't work the way you wanted, i gave you the instructions. oh you didn't follow them? you didn't see where i clearly indicated the directions you were supposed to follow for this task? and you're shocked it didn't turn out right? you decided to pull a Jared I'm 19 and go rogue? you're surprised the road less travelled isn't fucking paved because no one travels it? do you get off on this

Annoying that dairy products are demonized as Unnatural and Disgusting when it's actually kinda neat that humans figured out a way to fulfill omnivorous nutritional requirements without killing any animals (and populations historically dependent on dairy even evolved lactase persistence!). This is biopunk to me

i think a really funny project that a statistics professor could have their class do is like. put a bunch of random, patently untrue demographic statements into a hat. "the most popular tv show among white men ages 24-27 is Bluey." "the majority of business majors are middle children." "bisexual women love hot chips." and each student picks one out of the hat and you gotta like. design a whole study and survey a group of people to specifically achieve that result. you have to prove it true. by whatever means necessary. you have to construct the most biased study possible and wrangle in your exact demographic to make that statement a statistical reality. i think people would learn a lot.

Learning a little CSS and HTML are essential for a good online experience and I'm not kidding.
If you have an AO3 account
Go to your dashboard
Click on "skins"
Create a new skin or edit the one you currently use
Type this into the text field:
.blurb#work_xxxxxxxx,
.blurb.user-xxxxxxx {
display: none; }
Replace the "x"s with the work ID (found in the fic's URL) or the user ID (found in a user's profile)
Add new lines with a comma at the end of each line (excluding the lowest line) for every user or work you don't ever want to see again
Save your skin
Enjoy your new and improved AO3 experience and stop harassing authors for creating things you don't want to see.

The production value here is off the charts but this is also literally just what it feels like to play Uno.
