I've been suddenly inspired to finish writing my Trigun essay I started earlier this year and I just want to say, coming back to the sentence, "Lately it's been hard for me to be hopeful" 5 months after I originally wrote it and realizing you don't have to change it is definitely an Experience.

I am so compulsive about being on time, if I ever show up one minute late to a Zoom meeting, please know that's a major act of willpower and rebellion for me.

In all seriousness, I feel so bad for the people who suffered because of this fiasco. If you're an #IndieAuthor, please feel free to share some links to your work below!

Screenshot of an twitter post turned meme where the poster says "the nature of humanity is every so often someone accidentally invents homestuck again." The word "homestuck" has been erased and replaced with "dash con"

Screencap from the anime Delicious in Dungeon. It shows the characters Laios and Shuro mid-argument. Laios is yelling, "If it was so hard to be around me, you should've told me back then so I knew!"

Anyway I watched this episode last night and I think losing a limb would've hurt less

Oh yes this sounds right up my alley! Pyre is one of my favorite games and I feel like it's severely underrated.

I think I bought the first two Nerezia ebooks a few months ago, they just bumped up to the top of my TBR ๐Ÿ˜Š

Not to put too fine of a point on this, but if I spent the last few months putting innocent people in concentration camps and the pope died basically three seconds after I met him, I would not continue life apace, I would not immediately clock back in at the fascism factory.

Just looked at the allergy forecast for the rest of this week. Persephone is trying to kill me.

The Empire killed Jesus.
God raised him anyway.

Easter is God's protest against violence, injustice, and death.
A holy uprising of love, liberation, and life.

You can't legislate resurrection away.
You can't crucify hope forever.

Christ is risen.

Smarter people than me have probably already said this but... why are we conflating femininity with humanity? I hope the quote is out of context, but still. Are you saying a woman is "more human" if she acts in a way that fits the expectations of her assigned gender?

Yikes.

Part of that is probably bc I'm asexual, but having a body and brain that don't always work quite right is likely part of it too. Performing a feminine gender takes a lot of spoons that I need to use to function instead. And one of my symptoms is hyperandrogenism which is a whole other thing...

I never really thought about this, but now that I am, it aligns with some of my experiences too. I'm not blind, but I have other chronic conditions/disabilities, and even though I identify as a cis woman, I often feel out of place in more feminine spaces.

Soooo... I don't talk about this a lot but part of why I don't think abled people should play disabled people on film is because they don't understand what disability does to your gender. Cuz it's not nothing.

Bloggers from 2005-2015 are truly the backbone of the internet. I was trying to find more info about a Japanese rock band and Wikipedia didn't have much but a blog post from 2011 did.
