Bruce Wayne’s Offensive + Defensive Biting for Beginners: Key Points

Don’t bite until you’re out of options

When you bite someone, make it count

Don’t bite something that’s likely to crack a tooth if you can avoid it

Getting implanted teeth is more expensive and painful than you think (personal experience rip)

The average human bite force is 120–162 pounds per square inch

Maximum bite force depends on surface area, so choose your target wisely (neck, forearm, etc)

Make it clean, make it fast; don’t hang on while biting and risk getting hit

Don’t bite appendages (choking hazard if tied up)

People in Gotham are more accepting of bite attacks than other cities

Do not bite Joker under any circumstances

Immediately start post exposure antibiotics within 24 hours if blood is drawn

Spit out blood to 1) decrease infection risk and 2) to establish psychological dominance

Do not bite me

It will not work

No really

The way fantasy writers talk about a thousand years as this uneventful amount of time is really funny to me because like—in less than 1000 years we went from the Norman Invasion of England to Skibidi Toilet.

If we wanted to engage in nuance (lol, lmao) on the "are audiobooks reading" debate, we really do need to bring literacy, and especially blind literacy, into the conversation.

Because, yes, listening to a story and reading a story use mostly the same parts of the brain. Yes, listening to the audiobook counts as "having read" a book. Yes, oral storytelling has a long, glorious tradition and many cultures maintained their histories through oral history or oral + art history, having never developed a true written language, and their oral stories and histories are just as valid and rich as written literature.

We still can't call listening in the absence of reading "literacy."

The term literacy needs to stay restricted to the written word, to the ability to access and engage with written texts, because we need to be able to talk about illiteracy. We need to be able to identify when a society is failing to teach children to read, and if we start saying that listening to stories is literacy, we lose the ability to describe those systemic failures.

Blind folks have been knee-deep in this debate for a long time. Schools struggle to provide resources to teach students Braille and enforcing the teaching of Braille to low-vision and blind children is a constant uphill battle. A school tried to argue that one girl didn't need to learn Braille because she could read 96-point font. Go check what that is. The new prevalence of audiobooks and TTS is a huge threat to Braille literacy because it provides institutions with another excuse to not provide Braille education or Braille texts.

That matters. Braille-literate blind and low-vision people have a 90% employment rate. For those who don't know Braille, it's 30%. Braille literacy is linked to higher academic success in all fields.

Moving outside the world of Braille, literacy of any kind matters. Being able to read text has a massive impact on a person's ability to access information, education, and employment. Being able to talk about the inability to read text matters, because that's how we're able to hold systems accountable.

So, yes, audiobooks should count as reading. But, no, they should not count as literacy.

I've written and deleted so many angry posts regarding immigration. I just think you don't care about immigrants any more than Republicans do if you loudly proclaimed how moral you were for refusing to vote for the liberal woman against the white supremacist who campaigned on violent xenophobia for 10 years, separated children from their parents at the border, lied that immigrants were eating cats and dogs, promised mass deportations, and has sent innocent men to a prison in El Salvador. I don't think you're being honest about wanting Democrats to improve on immigration when you let such a man into power and make false equivalencies between the parties. I don't think you should be able to scream moral superiority without people pointing at the blood on your hands.
