The problem with trying to tell people "the more you hurry me, the longer this is going to take" is that an outside observer has no way to tell the difference between "I take any request to do something as a personal challenge to do the opposite out of spite, because I consider any expectation to accommodate your needs as a personal insult and beneath me uwu" and "the more pressure you put on me, the more stressed I am going to be, and the more anxious I am the more mistakes I will make, and I will have to go even slower in order to avoid them or keep trying to get it right over and over again so the only thing that makes the difference between us getting there in time or us both being late because I'm sitting on the floor crying is 100% your choice to either keep doing that or stop doing that."

The reason I’m not an anarchist is that in the centuries before the Americans with disabilities act people could have all installed safe wheelchair ramps in all of their buildings and they didn’t.

If you’re trying to make a system that relies on people being nice I’m not gonna go with it.

My mom kept complaining that all of a sudden the Beatles are back and they're fucking everywhere and they're so obnoxious and were practically having an orgy in her garden under a cucumber leaf and that's when I realized she meant spotted cucumber beetles and not Paul McCartney

There's this one episode of Columbo where the killer uses subliminal messaging in a film to manipulate their target. When I watched this, there were these very subtle yet still noticeable several-frame flashes of other images interspersed in the episode itself. Initially you just kind of brush them off as a glitch, and then eventually after the fifth time you're like. Oh. Damn. Shit. What an insanely avant garde meta thing for Columbo to have done! I need to go through this episode with a fine-tooth comb and figure out what the secret frames are! Surely someone has a webpage about this!

But it turns out, no one online is talking about this. I'm getting false-positives of people talking about Fight Club. I'm reading forum threads of Columbo fan forums from the early 2000s. I'm skimming someone's third watch-through of the series posted to Blogger. I'm trawling through 100 Fun Facts About Fan Favorite Columbo Episodes listicles. I'm reaching the parts of IMBD where the UI switches back to the version that was written in Perl in the 90's by my extremely divorced ex-coworker. Nothing.

Oh well, I'll figure it out some other time. Go watch the next episode. Also has these flashes. Restart browser. Flashes go away.

Oh.

the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.

forgot until just now that when i went to the grocery store today i turned down the oil/vinegar aisle and there was a store employee stocking the shelf and he said "welcome to the land of wonders" to me for some reason

i hate ai as much as the next guy but i need us to stop framing students' dependency on ai as purely a decision made by lazy kids to not think for themselves and to start framing it as a complex social issue influenced by factors such as corporations aggressively marketing ai to students, a media landscape (including both social and mainstream media) that rewards a lack of critical thinking, a severe K-12 teacher and staff support shortage, amongst many other things im not naming, and also yeah some kids who don't want to do homework, which was so many of us at one point except that there wasn't such a ubiquitous and simple way of getting out of doing the work for most of us. yes students do need to understand the value of doing scholarly work on their own in order to combat this issue, but is only part of any possible solution as it is really only a fraction of the problem.
