@TransF1xed To offer another perspective, I use this phrasing with others as a sardonic acknowledgement of in-group problems, like "welcome to America π" when talking about our economy with other Americans. It depends on the tone, but things like that can also signify shared experience.
@MayBePinkpink Is the MIND program actually ABA? I thought ABA was mentioned separately in the article I read. Or are you using that as an umbrella term? I'm curious because I also heard very negative things about ABA (at least in the US) and Yoongi's program sounded very different.
@pot8um@drdevonprice I was confused by this at first too, but it makes more sense if you look into the context. Either way, trans and autistic people are not above criticism, we're flawed humans with varied, socially-influenced experiences just like everyone else.
@TheFulvousFox I feel like classic FNAF animatronics felt more like dealing with an animal, with unfamiliar and strong but basic drives, but modern FNAF animatronics are like dealing with humans, with more complex and variable motivations
@arakkisuperstar I don't think she is personally, but if 'passing' is based on the perception of the (usually uninformed) majority, if the majority is unfamiliar with wasians and thinks she's white, then she is by definition white-passing until the majority perception changes
@HijaDe2Madre I never thought if it this way before. What would be better? Discard the garment? I think many people (like me) think of period blood as more of a discharge than actual blood blood, and education around mensuration (where I am) is woefully miniscule.
@hankgreen The book Random Acts of Medicine talks about how birth month can affect health outcomes. I'm sure there's also psychology around self-image and how people treat others based on astrological beliefs. Maybe it's not based in science but there could be interesting correlations?
@rainestorming I only use my iron for steaming. Works so well for anything except the most formal & crisp things and you just need to spray the steam and not risk burning anything. Very quick and easy
@chescaleigh As someone who has had to deal with this type of manipulation while having genuine self esteem issues, it feels really tricky to navigate. It's hard to call out someone's behavior when you feel insecure about your own.
@chescaleigh Yes! I wasn't trying to disagree, sorry if it came across that way, I just wanted to share something new that came to mind when I read your tweet that wasn't already in the comments, I 100% agree with the original sentiment
@DatChaosGuy I thought it was intentional that ITSV peeps were as different as possible to show that even though they're all Spider-People, there's still a huge range. ATSV felt more like, given the choice, which Spider-People actually vibe with each other.
@ComicLoverMari I feel like I see no one mention this but in the movie, she doesn't have a typical undercut or side-shave, half of her head is a typical masculine haircut and the other half is a long, traditionally feminine style. That seemed really intentional to me.
@SHADOWlZED I didn't think he died here, but I did think that he got straight ROCKED here. Love how they kept up the suspense at the end without feeling cheap or abrupt.
@Imani_Barbarin The Big Windup anime. I wouldn't realize I was autistic until 15 years later, but the main character made me feel so seen. Seeing him go from overt exclusion and bullying to making real, meaningful connections with the right people was so important to me.
