Kori .20. Dont really know what im doing anymore. Always tired...

In a world where every human has a unique superpower, yours is largely laughed at. The ability to untangle anything has come in handy for untying shoelaces until you discover a new way of using your power that makes you formidable against your former superiors.

Today I introduced my sister to “the problem of Susan” and I had to explain to her that Susan was left out of Narnia cuz she liked boys and lipstick now and without missing a beat she said but what about Peter? Does Peter not like girls? And I knew she was pointing out the inherent misogyny at the center of the “the problem of Susan” but the implications of that question are a source of much hilarity to meeee LMFAO like Does Peter not like girls? Does he like boys? Is he Gay? Is Narnia really just a homo-utopia where Lucy is also a lesbian and Edmund is a bisexual disaster and Susan was kicked out cuz she was too straight??? Can I make CS Lewis turn over in his grave with this new reading?

…I mean they literally were in the closet…

THEY WERE LITERALLY IN THE CLOSET!!!

Reblog to make C.S. Lewis turn over in his grave

TBH, once the nuances were explained to him, I think he’d find it quite funny. 

I never like it when strangers act like they're my editor, but one of the most annoying "corrections" I've ever received was when I was talking about cis people being uncomfortable around trans people and someone said "op you mean transphobes. don't slander all cis people like that". When the thing is I did mean cis people. Because cis people are often uncomfortable around trans people. AND ALSO discomfort is not a flavor of moral transgression. That way lies thought policing.

Like it feels kind of hypocritical to demand that all cis people be comfortable with my transness when I myself am frequently uncomfortable with my own transness (see: Gender Dysphoria). It's not the discomfort that matters, it's what you do with that discomfort. And often what distinguishes a safe cis person from an unsafe one is whether or not they see their own feelings of comfort as an absolute moral compass. The safe cis person observes their own discomfort and recognizes it as a conditioned response in a society that wants you to hate trans people. The unsafe cis person cannot square their feelings of discomfort with their self-image as a "trans ally" so they take the feelings as vibes-based evidence that this particular trans person they're talking to must be secretly evil.

Tbqh this is often what separates a safe trans person from an unsafe one too

Well shit, Henry Jenkins, out here in 1997 dropping truth bombs

Oh hey I need this for a research paper I'm writing, thank you!

i mean he had been out here since 1988 dropping such bombs:

"'fandom' is a vehicle of marginalized subcultural groups (women, the young, gays, etc.) to pry open space for their cultural concerns within dominant representations; it is a way of appropriating media texts and rereading them in a way that serves different interests, a way of transforming mass culture into a popular culture"

Jenkins, Henry. “Star Trek Rerun, Reread, Rewritten: Fan Writing as Textual Poaching.” Critical Studies in Mass Communication 5, no. 2 (1988): 85–107. https://doi.org/10.1080/15295038809366691.  

there are even some earlier works in fan studies but that’s what i have ready to hand. 

Henry's been amazing for a long time.

lots of times if I tell my boyfriend that I am proud of him for dealing with a situation, or that I'm sorry he's having to deal with a situation, he will say "no it's my own fault." meaning that he feels like he doesn't deserve praise or comfort for dealing with a situation that is his fault. (for example a financial problem caused or exacerbated by him having been too anxious or absentminded to deal with the situation sooner.) and I tell him this and I will tell y'all this, that I don't believe that. I think you are even braver and stronger for taking steps to deal with a mess that is of or partly of your own creation, because you have to cope with guilt and shame on top of the thing itself, and because you're fighting against the same ingrained dysfunction in yourself that caused the mess. that's like the bravest and most constructive thing you can do and you should be proud and I am proud of you.

also, mistakes don't mean you deserve to suffer

Ubers charge more if you order them from certain places, like bars where they know you have no choice if you’re drunk. Walk somewhere else just not anywhere that serves alcohol and then call for one. I’ve had my $40 dollar Uber go down to $20 before but it’s not always that dramatic.

That’s great information! Lumbridge home teleport costs 0gp every 30 minutes.

Yall remember how Texas had that "report an abortion" form that they had to take down after a week?

Well, Missouri has one, only it's for reporting transgender concerns.

Comrades. Friends. Romans. Countrymen. You know what to do.

This is the time to get creative with it, too, because realistic reports are a Bad idea here (they will get used as “evidence” that gender affirming care is dangerous). We actually want to send all the random, wild shit we can think of!

my final form

yeah. for once, actual random bullshit works.

most times, I advise against sending obviously fake things because they can just filter it. but submitting things that seem plausible, even if they are completely fake, will be used as a reason to actively harm us. because these people don't care whether or not they're telling the truth.

so don't make up believable stories. instead just spam them with copypastas until your email gets blacklisted. then get a new email and spam them again.

"Hur hur we went to a superspreader party in 2023...isn't that funny? I thought covid was over but then we all got sick with covid and sent all our kids to school where their teachers tried to run away from them lolZ. Oh also I'm not going to reflect on the fact that I went to the gym and likely spread more covid to other people before I knew I got the virus.

And the birthday host kept coming up with gifs as the count of covid positive people who got it at the party kept going up! Hilarious!

Anyway wash your hands and stay home if you have symptoms I guess, but of course I'm not going to mention WEARING A MASK ever."

EXCLUSIVE: 'We need to do better' - over 14,000 people died with Covid after catching it in hospital

Over 14,000 people in England and Wales died with Covid after catching the virus in hospital - these were all people who had attended for another reason, be it surgery, cancer treatment, or following an accident

By Kieren Williams, March 16, 2023

"More than 14,000 people in England and Wales died with Covid after catching the virus in hospital.

According to official NHS data in England and Wales, 14,047 Brits died in hospital after they caught the virus following admission, whilst at least 69,337 people caught the virus only after having been admitted.

The data, obtained by the Mirror via FOI, shows the extent to which the virus ran rampant in hospitals throughout the pandemic, claiming lives.

Both figures are the minimum and the reality is likely much higher due to a number of trusts not responding to the FOI or not recording the data.

Data covering from March 2020 until August 2022 at the latest, 94 NHS trusts out of 209 responded to the FOI which showed how deaths cause by hospital acquired Covid surged during winter as hospitals filled up with patients.

The 14,047 people had all gone to hospital for something other than Covid and tested negative on admission."

People who refused to believe covid exists are bad enough but people who know it exists and still think it's a joke to spread it around just actually deserve to be dead, like morally I would endorse them getting splattered by a truck.

Thousands of people are still dying every week from covid. Many more face lifelong, debilitating illness. If you're not masking, you could be responsible. You could be next.

one fun thing about being a teacher in march 2023 is that chess is a literal epidemic among teens. we are starting to have meetings about how we can STOP teenagers from playing too much chess which is like if we were trying to figure out how to stop them from reading for fun. When i was in high school five years ago chess was nerd shit only but now it is transcending every social and language barrier and is absolutely rampant. kids aren’t on their phone texting in class anymore it’s ONLY chess.com. kids are playing chess on their phones while playing chess in real life. this is still better than tiktok because at least the kids are developing an attention span from this

the worst part of this is that they’re on chess dot com instead of getting an education. but the BEST part of this is watching high schoolers develop the weirdest goddamn strategies I’ve ever seen. One of my students invented something he calls the “evil advisor gambit” where he gets a third person to give out constant terrible advice to both teams hoping that his opponent falls for it straight-up or that his opponent thinks HE fell for it and will act accordingly thus worsening their own strategy. he has won every game he has been able to pull off a coordinated evil advisor gambit in. this is chess innovation never before seen in its 700 years on earth

Celsius is so low res y’all have like 3 possible numbers it can be outside

we’re the retro gamers of temperature

Fahrenheit lets me pick an outfit based solely on the 10s digit meanwhile you tell a Celsius user its gonna be in the 10s today and they have no clue what length of pants to wear. Is the 20s a pleasant walk or a day you should go swimming? Meanwhile Fahrenheit says its in the 70s and I know exactly what to expect today.

“But for science-” use Kelvin like a real man.

Look guys there’s nothing inherently better about either temperature system it’s literally what you grow up with. It’s all made up. You only think Fahrenheit is easier bc you grew up with it and the only reason you don’t understand Celsius is bc you didn’t. As someone who grew up with Celsius and had to learn Fahrenheit it’s still much more intuitive for me to tell temperature in Celsius.

A toddler with no previous exposure to either temperature system would not give a shit which one you used bc they won’t understand either of them. As you grow up you learn to associate a certain outside feel with this arbitrary number with either a C or F behind it. It’s literally just about familiarity. All of my friends who grew up outside the US prefer Celsius. It’s just about what’s easier for you to use.

I respect what you’re going for here but I don’t make inflammatory posts about inconsequential bullshit to reach some kind of compromise or consensus. Pick up a steel chair and go apeshit on somebody.

I asked ChatGPT to psychoanalyze bakudeku, because what else is AI made for ✨

Some interesting nuggets:

“Bakugou is a character who is driven by a deep desire to be the best, and his aggressive and competitive behavior can be seen as a defense mechanism to protect himself from vulnerability. 

Izuku’s admiration for Bakugou can be seen as a manifestation of his unconscious desire for emotional connection with someone who challenges him and pushes him to be his best self. His willingness to forgive Bakugou’s past behavior and his desire to help him can be seen as an indication of his capacity for empathy and his willingness to form secure attachments.

The romantic potential of Bakudeku can also be seen in their complementary personalities. Bakugou’s strengths, such as his determination and passion, can balance out Izuku’s weaknesses, such as his tendency to doubt himself and his quirk. Similarly, Izuku’s kindness and compassion can help temper Bakugou’s aggressive behavior and provide emotional support.

Bakugou’s vulnerability and emotional honesty towards Izuku… can be seen as an indication of his willingness to let his guard down and connect with another person on a deeper level.

Overall, the “Bakudeku” relationship is a complex one that is characterized by growth, change, and emotional connection.“

Waow ✨

The inherent homoeroticism of killing your enemy and immediately regretting it

It’s about rage, it’s about obsession, it’s about making that two-person war your entire raison d’être. It’s about loving and mistaking it for hatred and loving and loving and loving to the point of destruction. His or yours, it doesn’t matter. And you think seeing him dead at your feet will make you feel better, but all you feel is a whole lot of nothing.

forget everything anyone has ever told you on the matter the truest marker of adulthood is starting to hear the siren call of high quality kitchenware

to be clear you SHOULD buy that cast iron pan and you SHOULD buy that knife set and you SHOULD buy that fancy rice cooker and you SHOULD buy that novelty mug. high quality kitchenware is always worth it you’re literally gonna be using that almost every day

and you SHOULD get these new things in Not Plastic, not only because plastic is bad for the environment but because over time it will become brittle and fall apart in your hands. u deserve better
