men love to make fun of women for overreacting in emergencies when they are, in fact, massively under-reacting

Black people in the U.S. are seven times more likely to be falsely convicted of a serious crime like murder than white people, according to a new report published Tuesday by the National Registry of Exonerations. The finding is based on an analysis of exonerations for serious crimes in the U.S. over the last four decades, which found that Black people make up less than 14% of the U.S. population but account for 53% of exonerations in the country.

"wait, but what do I say to describe people who cannot get pregnant?" a guide.

Men cannot get pregnant: INCORRECT. Transgender men are men and many are capable of getting pregnant. Also, excludes the plenty of people who are not men who cannot get pregnant.

Cis men cannot get pregnant: INCORRECT. Intersex men who are technically cis, but have uteruses and ovaries, may be capable of pregnancy, even if it's unlikely. Also, excludes the plenty of people who are not men who cannot get pregnant.

Cis perisex men cannot get pregnant: Correct, but excludes the plenty of people who are not men who cannot get pregnant.

People without uteruses cannot get pregnant: Correct, but excludes infertile and menopausal people with uteruses who also cannot get pregnant.

People who cannot get pregnant: CORRECT. Excludes no one.

To use inclusionary language, you don't need to rip through the reeds in search of wider terminology when you could quite literally say things exactly as they are. Inclusive language isn't "overcomplicated" at all. It's straightforward.

Just made myself so so sad thinking about Aang's marble trick because from a physics perspective, keeping dense spherical objects afloat on an airstream is not trivial, and he's doing it in a tiny little space without moving his hands. Bending is usually very gestural. So. Everyone in the era of the show is, at best, impressed THAT it is airbending. But Aang's an incredibly young master airbender. He wouldn't be acting like this was the bestest trick ever if it didn't take at least some skill; he's a goofy kid but he's also a prodigy. I bet other airbenders were absolutely blown away (pun fully intended) at the level of precision and force and minimalism of movement on display and now there's no one who understands at all why he expects accolades.

basically like i do genuinely believe double life episode 1 to be suchhhh a masterpiece. like okay for most of the episode pearl is just chilling and having a nice time in the nether with martyn. meanwhile she isn't even aware but the whole of like the society of tje server is at work semi unconsciously constructing and deciding on the significance of + behaviour that should be associated with "soulmate" relationships. like let me start by saying yes the word soulmate obviously has romantic connotations but they aren't brought up at all by the format of the series, the literal only thing that's canonical to soulmate relationships at the beginning of the series is the shared health, some people even stsrt off calling it soulbound instead. however over the course of episode 1 the server collectively builds up expectations about a soulmate relationship - eg people finding their soulmate and saying that's who they're stuck with now (expectation to team up and live together), obviously bdubs + impulse instantly likening it to a marriage (romantic connotations), whatever grian + scar had going on (absolute priority should be finding your soulmate above anything else - although this is also kind of just a consequence of the series), etc. and the end result of this is pearl coming back from the nether like Clueless ^_^ and meeting various soulmate pairs and slowly finding out abt all these expectations that got created in her absence. and so she goes on the dating show to find her soulmate and that's when he actually makes what's been building over the episode explicitly clear, that having a shared health bar with someone essentially has been made analogous to an exclusive + romantic adjacent relationship that you're expected to prioritise over every other relationship, and so by just like hanging out with someone else she's been "cheating" so to speak on the soulmate she hadn't even met yet + it's a betrayal + she's in the wrong because he was "putting himself out there" and she wasn't prioritising finding him and not building any other relationships until she had, which is like, wrong for some reason. so he fucks off and now she has that whole context and can compare it to getting dumped. and then MARTYN buys into it and is like yea you know what this is your fault bye 👋. and all of a sudden everyone has abandoned her. well what can i even say. such a crazy like narrative for just the first episode. we live in a society
