#a teachable moment

[incognito-princess]

When your sister's neighborhood is narrowly missed by a tornado, and you find out that everyone is fine... how long to do you have to wait to ask her to go take pictures to show your class b/c you're starting the "natural disasters" unit when you get back from spring break? (seriously though I may hate Arkansas and everything it stands for, but I have deepest sympathy and empathy for everyone affected by the tornadoes yesterday.)

did you know the american alpine club has an annual magazine dedicated entirely to climbing accidents?

i think a lot of people don't realize that the this is not a place of honor message was intended to be the first in a series of messages going into increasing detail, culminating in a description of the physics of radiation and exactly how it can hurt you. it's not just like tone-adjusted warnings against tomb robbing. and you gotta admit the rosetta stone with a lot of technical language would, if nothing else, be a very kind gift to future archeologists

I don’t know if you’ve seen, but museless gaylors on twitter are trying to make the eye theory be about Taylor only. The eye theory is simply that Taylor put Karlie’s eye in place of one of her own on the reputation album. That’s it. You don’t have to believe in the eye theory, that’s fine, but if you do, you have to accept it’s about karlie. Otherwise, make your own theory.

a lot of people sent stuff to me while i was asleep 😆

i think it just goes to show that a lot of times people say things without an actual understanding of them.

and for the sake of clarity— the theory is that taylor replaced her right side eye with karlie’s eye on the reputation photo that was used for the tour poster, not the reputation album cover photo. though, it’s also the eye that appears on some versions of the cd and vinyl skin.

anyways! all the more reason for everyone to read through the masterposts again? maybe? 😁

I had a friend who looked at a femme transman character I was making once and said 'why don't you just make him a girl?' And I feel like that's the energy many people, especially other trans people, have towards actual living breathing trans men who cannot or will not transition for a variety of reasons and or who are just femme by choice and for aesthetic.

Alexis can I just say u are the GOAT for doing that oc talk at ur table. Iconique

Let me encourage anyone running a table to feel more confident, that is your space and you can bulldoze over anyone and everyone being a clown in your space. To be honest you likely won't even end up being rude about it, you'll probably just sound like a confident salesperson.

Bruce Wayne Headcanons

that I cannot reconcile with current/most/ALL of his comics characterization but I hold onto nevertheless

—Bruce Wayne!! trains each of his Robins with the goal of them becoming better than him.

—Bruce Wayne!! intends for the Robins to be his actual failsafe if he ever went off the deep end. (Fuck that weirdo robot lol.)

—Bruce Wayne!! 1000% blames himself for Jason Todd’s death I don’t care what the comics have had him say or what his dumbass inner-narrative has said…*handwave handwave* all of that was just him desperately trying to cover the hole in his heart from failing his son so completely.

Not on you. If he didn’t specifically ask you on a date it doesn’t count as a date. If it could be a miscommunication trope in a fanfic it is on the allistic person for not being clear. It’s a rule I live by, and ever since I started I have felt so much better.

Cause like if someone without autism would have trouble there’s no fucking way I’m gonna know.

very true! unfortunately (as this was years and years ago) i. i can't remember how explicit the request was. egads

these days now that i'm older (and aware of my neurodivergence) i insist on very explicit communication up front with people. but alas, i was a little baby high schooler, and also it's just a genuinely funny story for me to recall now

[lem0nademouth]

watching god’s wildest documentary about the Twin Flames Universe cult and its a long story but basically one of the insane things they did was force people to transition (i swear i’m not making this up) and when these people’s family members talk about them THEY HONOR THEIR NAME AND PRONOUNS ANYWAY BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO DO

if the parents of people who have been manipulated by a cult can change the name and pronouns they use for their child, the parents and loved ones of trans people can do it to. its. not. hard.

Coming off Tim's Sixteenth birthday arc is so funny to me like- Robin 120: Batman is a terrible, abusive person and the only reason Tim doesn't cut him off right now is because he knows he'd loose all of the friends and family he'd made as robin in the process. Robin 121: And then he makes him go to bed on time- and then the next day he has him do his homework- and the worst thing Tim can imagine from him is his disappointed dad face <3 Like yea I do heavily prefer the latter and will accept the jarring as hell transition if it gets me out of the former faster but gosh golly is that some narrative whiplash

LMAO YEAH. YEAH. what a switch over of writers does to the General Vibe And Narrative of a book is so fucking funny sometimes
