Shocking how many people don’t know that hens lay non-fertilized eggs and think the yolk they’re eating is a baby chicken
once tried desperately to make my friend understand that yolks were not, like, a liquified potentiality of chicken, and she looked at me for a while and then said, "but they’re both yellow."
Behold

This is the best thing on the internet.
If you didnt believe Laios was autistic before todays episode i hope it clears that up for you
we were first shown his special interest, a very autistic trait to have. We get to see him indulge in his interest, we get to see him happy.
but this episode contains the scene that makes it clear Laios cannot understand social cues, tone of voice, sarcasm, or subtlety. He actively suffers socially with other humans.
Shuro is pissed Laios didnt pick up on the fact that he hated Laios, because he was being passive aggressive (at best, Shuro bottled up a lot of feelings), and said verbally he was Laios' friend. Laios takes things at face value, if someone says "im your friend" that's what he believes is true.
He hates that Laios "gets to be genuine". I hate the way he says that "gets" as if its a privilege for Laios. It's a privilege for Shuro who is nobility and has his behavior and emotions stifled. Laios doesnt understand that others are NOT genuine. he's not from that world.
that's why Laios asks "why didnt you TELL me?" and Shuro says it should have been obvious.
it was NOT obvious to Laios, not at all.
And also, that was who Laios thought was his FIRST friend on the island. he thought he made a friend, something actively difficult for him to do.
it devastated him to learn that he was wrong the entire time.
building on this - their conflict is also a really good example of how cultural differences can impact how boundaries and discomfort are communicated. toshiro is the son of a highborn nobleman and is thus subjected to immense pressure and scrutiny - he’s expected to maintain an image, not just for himself, but for the family name. if he messes up, it tarnishes not just his own reputation, but the reputation of the rest of his family and anybody associated with his clan. he’s also from an extremely high-context culture, where saying things bluntly is very rude, disrespectful, and inconsiderate to the other person, and where sacrifice of the individual (be it health, hobby, or personality) to benefit wellbeing of the collective, is the norm.
the manga also reveals that toshiro, as a child, was “inflexible”, and constantly got compared to his “more charismatic” dad. growing up, if he cried he’d get shamed for not adhering to “boys don’t cry” gender norms, and was described as being “very active” to the point of habitually wandering off, with the panel revealing this depicting a tiny toshiro getting distracted by a little garden snail. there’s a good chance that toshiro himself is also neurodivergent, and was socially conditioned to mask Very Hard in order to uphold his duties as eldest son and clan heir, as well as survive in a high-context culture where nunchi is a basic prerequisite for social survival.
if we take him to be inflexible, Extremely Masked autistic guy, and we combine that with the high-context culture he grew up in - he was probably communicating his boundaries and discomfort to laios as well as he could. he didn’t know how else to “correctly” convey how uncomfortable he felt - to be blunt would have been a massive insult to laios, and toshiro was trying to avoid that.

Post that will get me labelled a psyop but honestly the moment that a party realizes that "you might not like us but you have no choice but to vote for us because otherwise the fascists win" is an effective way to rake in votes it practically ensures that they'll never take any actual meaningful action against the fascism problem. They gotta keep the fascists around bro they're their electoral strategy.
having anxiety is like being given permanent unwanted custody of a halter arabian. like okay buddy is it panic time again. cool you probably need more exercise and an apple and then maybe you'll calm down.
taking my stupid walks for my stupid mental health with my stupid hypervigilant brain horse
thoroughly enjoying the notes on this post because it's equal parts people with anxiety going "yeah that's what it's like" and people with arabians going "yeah that's what they're like"
Pirate streaming apps are leading the entertainment category in Brazil's Google Play Store. These unauthorized streaming apps draw a massive audience and beat official streaming platforms such as Netflix, Disney, and HBO in download rankings. While piracy is a worldwide phenomenon, Brazil certainly stands out.

It’s a good metaphor tho, because the situation is never going to get better if you don’t eventually pull the door. And afterwards, no matter what the damage was, you’ll have a working cabinet, whatever plates you could salvage, and a place to start putting new plates.
Reblogging for that comment ^
Hats off for negative jokes turned to wholesome posts
So this was me for a long time. Afraid to open the door, certain that all that I was would crash and break. That I could never be repaired.
But I opened the door.
And what fell out and crashed to the ground was not me. They weren’t my dishes.
They were other people’s dishes.
Put inside we without my permission, when I was too young to know that I could not hold them all.
I opened the door, and I’m still here.
Oh damn it got better
THANK YOU TWO FOR MAKING OUR LIVES A LITTLE BETTER
it is so jarring and weird when a fantasy book is like “ok let’s go around the circle and have each character talk about which lgbt umbrella category they identify with” like ok your fantasy world doesn’t have to be feudal europe but can it not be 2023 twitter please
If you are, in fact, in ancient China, the words you are looking for are:
Mojing 磨镜 if you are a commoner. It literally translates to “mirror polisher”, because the act of rubbing a cloth over a copper mirror was a metaphor for lesbian sex. Note that this term is used to describe a relationship between two women, rather than the sexual orientation of an individual.
Duishi 对食 if you are a royal woman or maid living in the royal palace. Originating in the Han dynasty, this term literally translates to “eating together”, which is another metaphor for lesbian sex (of a different variety from the one described above 👀). This term is, again, used to describe a type of relationship, not an individual’s orientation. In the royal palace, this kind of relationship was often between a high ranking woman and a low ranking woman, and was frowned upon due to the difference in rank.
For example, during the Han dynasty, Emperor Wu’s empress consort Chen had an affair with a woman named Chu Fu, who dressed like a man and slept with the empress “like husband and wife.” When the affair was discovered, Chu Fu was accused of witchcraft and executed, and the empress was stripped of her title and banished.
So yeah, if you are in ancient China, you can totally say “I prefer to polish mirrors and share my meals with women, if you catch my drift…” 👀👀👀
I know that Nintendo gets a lot of hate, but honestly, I think they should be hated even more.
Fucked

Characters being put in situations is fun until you are characters.
"We regret to inform you that you have just become relevant to the plot."
unavoidable that you will be the villain in someone else's story. You will be painted in an unfavorable light. You will be the irredeemable one. and all of this will happen despite how nice you might usually be or how kind or how respectful or how warm. and you will just have to move on.
when is comes to asexuality and aromanticism you have to be okay with contradiction. one ace person will say asexuality is about not experiencing attraction, another will say it’s about not caring to act on attraction, another will say it’s not experiencing arousal. one aromantic will consider themself queer, one won’t. two people with seemingly identical experiences will use two different labels. aro people will be in romantic relationships, ace people will have sex. you get it.
They'll feel bad about this in a few years. Someone will take a photo of a National Guard pig brutalizing a student and get a Pulitzer for it. They'll make a nice little memorial commemorating it. The next EDI hire president will be sure to thank the brave students of Columbia for their radical action years ago before sending in more pigs to deal with whatever is happening on campus then. They'll golf clap as whatever NGO leech who wants to claim credit for the encampment movement gets their next grant. All will be well.
