Like if your response to “This is a game of pretend where anything is true if you say it is” is “That’s not an excuse to include wheelchair using characters” you are so far gone into bigotry and ableism I can only block you
@BarryPierce MFA style noted—extendedly:
(1) businessification of realist style
(2) “parochial”/narrow reading (less exposure to history of Lit styles/experimentalism)
(3) social media-ization of worldview: belief in brand/clothing/etc as self-explanatory synonym
(4) influence of TV writing
why are so many contemporary novels just characters performing actions? followed by pithy sentences about the act of the action? there's no narrative or insight. it's this character went there and did this, this character reacts to that action, over and over.
@bliss_inabottle@meishato I stg lifestyle gurus always have advice for allistic and non-ADHD people. It’s always like “Socialize more and focus on your goals” wow thanks didn’t think of that
they should make a version of socializing that doesn’t make you feel like you’re still the weird 9 year old kid that doesn’t know why she’s not normal like the other kids
This is randomly getting more attention than I thought so this is my PSA to dump your dumb fucking boyfriend that puts no effort into making you feel special or wanted and find yourself a really hot girl with a heart of gold and amazing boobs.
@GusoMilkarella Plus when people say "They weren't punished/they didn't suffer" as if that's a requirement for growth/a character arc. Not everything has to involve punitive justice
@yordable@TrueAnonPod Apparently the cops even told news sites that the bullets had “trans arrows” on them. In reality they were the regular-ass bullet markings the factory produces them with. They’re trying SO hard to pin this on a minority
@IrfanLull @LocalBateman I only recently learned about Markiplier not knowing to chew food until 4 years ago and I can’t stop thinking about it since. Every time I eat I think of this man and his foibles
@FernShawArt YES, YES, TOOTHLESS, THANK YOU
My friend actually talked about a scene from httyd3, and how genuinely upset Toothless looks when trying to fly by himself (explained more down below <3)
my mom knew there was something up with me gender-wise when she was pregnant with me because with my sister she had dreams of a beautiful baby girl but when I was in the womb she kept dreaming I was OOBI
@VerySillyBunny@Shattubatu@PutAimovigOnNHS@twitchyspoonie Also gene editing is still part of eugenics. Gene editing in utero is still participating in eugenics. It may be debatably ethical un certain cases but it’s important to be aware it’s not not eugenics just because it’s on fetuses or embryos.
