I always try to remember that conflict takes a good bit of effort to do in public and most people don't want it. Like even people confused by my coming out were quicker to ask questions than be a jerk. Hope you experience the same ❀️

I plan to visit Alberta exactly once. Crush a bucket list. And then never return. Ya know, like a normal person.

Also, that Aubrey Plaza bullied the show runner into filling her in on the plot is both so her and so her character

Legion doesn't get enough hype. Like, it's my favorite show. And it's so hard to explain why to people who have never seen it. But like Dan Stevens is so sympathetic. And all the actors play their roles so straight. And there are so many absurd scenes that move the plot perfectly. So good.

I get it when it's from metaphysicians who have no plan to talk to the public. But it always strikes me as self sabotage when applied ethicists do it. Like, you are the ones talking to the public. Why be so hifalutin????

Thanks for the insight! I'll try to keep this in mind whenever the next mystery storytelling title comes out!

Is the preference for no people or people to hang out with you while you're in bed?

And to give a case, I just replayed Bloodborne to get ready for Wuchang. And knowing the story from YouTube made the whole journey hype. But without that experience on my first playthrough, it was mostly lost on me and I think that's a fun downer. So I'm hoping for a new perspective to think about.

What does it for you? I feel like I get a bit of the story but have to go listen to YouTube to figure out what is actually going on. And that's the part I dislike. Are you able to figure out the main lore parts of the story on your own? Or is being awash in mystery super hype for you? What is it?

I've gone through them all and while I think there is something interesting about the story telling device, I also think that the versions if these games with coherent accessible stories like Lies of P and Sekiro are much better. You get the rad gameplay and a comprehensible story.

I said this last time, and I'm compelled to say it again, this just means your epic, endearing and funny will they won't they relationship is moments away from starting

I think it's because people learn terms through practice not definition. A lot of people state that oppression requires power differentials, but when you ask why, they have no idea. I like Frye's view, but I think people should be familiar with the terms they use lest they get weird about using them

Well, now comes the part where you strike up a meaningful conversation with someone cute after putting your foot in your mouth and discover a long term will they won't they relationship for 3 or seasons!

I hold a vaguely positive image of Dasgupta. I've never met him. But I find his articles insightful and interesting. What the hell is he doing here? Like is this him on the path to the trans hate train? Or is this him attempting to talk to someone in good faith who has no desire to do so?

I haven't heard much on Canada recently. Has the fascist apocalypse stalled there since the election?

Hi! I feel this similarly and deeply. One thing that helped me was reading articles on anger and social change. It gave me a way to move from the emotion to an intellectual analysis and then back to the emotion. And that has made the constant stream of anger at antitrans bullshit a bit easier for me

Can capital punishment survive If Black Lives Matter?

I teach this paper in all of my race and ethics courses. It's nice in that it has a ton of implicit bias data combined with a succinct overview of the US legal history. I take it to be one of the most accessible arguments for the injustice of the death penalty, particularly for black defendants.

There are some attempts at this that are pretty rad though. Like Bettcher's work always struck me as going beyond the intro level. C. Riley Snorton's work also comes to mind.

Canadian or American? I might be wrong about this, but I think it's much more expensive in CA because you have actual farm animal regulations. In any case, I have some extended family I'll reach out to who own a farm and might know.
