Really interesting convo about the business and societal impact/reality of BL/GL/QL that I'd urge international fans of the genre, especially of Thai BL, to watch.

I might not have ever watched the Grammys before, because I was kind of shocked at what an icky, graceless, corny commercial the whole thing was.

Then Joni Mitchel played and I had tears streaming down my face the whole time, and found myself clapping at the end of the performance like a weirdo.

"You would be amiss to miss it!"

I'm sure they didn't (still, most things are probable), but how crazy would it be if ancient Greek theater companies performed highlights of upcoming plays in the market square? I'm hearing TV advertisements blaring from the next room and it's nothing but thundering drums, gunfire, and people begging for their lives And then a happy comedy romance. It's disorienting.

idk feels pretty gross of Etsy to send a campaign called “keep commerce human” to shop owners this week and then announce on their site that they’re going to continue to allow the sale of AI generated products

i think every dnp project should be given art analysis and critique. dan's internet support group series is of course satire on advice columns and blogs that arent actually helpful, and also a reflection on the words dan himself needed to hear or wished he'd heard when he was younger. phil is not on fire is a love letter to queer joy, to perceived sexual deviance, to the way you felt when you were young, staying up really late with your closest friends and the most asinine shit making you giggle because you're so sleep deprived. dont even get me started on tatinof and ii i could be here all day

day 26

someday if i can figure out how the hell people get these things made i would like to do some little destiny & malice acrylic charms. i think those are so fun. and while i mostly want them for Myself i figure that if i DID figure out the process, i should maybe open up the option to anyone else that might want them, soooo...

informal poll: if i figure out how all that works, would any of y'all be into that, and approximately how many of you?

This whole video (and Saiki K in general) have me thinking about the similarity between my experience as someone with selective mutism and Saiki's whole... thing.

I think people assume that he's been talking telepathically most of the times we as an audience hear him, but because the show actively contradicts that in a lot of places, (where people talk to him and seem to not hear the things he says telepathically, assume his intentions/feelings when he is thinking exactly opposite, etc,) I've always wondered if it was just that most people don't know anyone with selective mutism, and can't conceive of how we communicate outside of speech or sign. 

 Saiki, for all intents and purposes, is selectively mute. He doesn't talk verbally, and while he could communicate telepathically with people, and frequently does so with his parents and other psychic friends, as we see them having proper conversations instead of the usual one-sided ones he has with his friends most of the time, he doesn't. Maybe this is to conceal his psychic powers, maybe it is because he isn't very social, but he still spends most of his time not talking verbally OR psychically. And yet! He has a bunch of friends who care about him a LOT, and this is because... honestly, it's not that difficult to still have fun with people who aren't talking? 

 The way Saiki's friends socialize with him in the show is pretty typical and... honestly, if you have a friend who sometimes goes nonverbal and is totally fine, not in distress or anything, it's a really good guide on how to hang out with them! I think it's a little sad that there's a lot of simplification of Saiki's relationships when you assume that he regularly talks telepathically to his friends, when most of the time he doesn't! 

I don't know. The first time I watched Saiki K, it made me so goddamn happy to see a character like me on screen, and it was such a dream come true that nobody ever really questioned him on it, that here was a nonverbal character who didn't get socially isolated or asked a bunch of probing questions or have to use sign or notes or something to form these connections with his friends.
