this has been knocking around my head for a while, but for real: Sports get people prepared for the bullshit of politics like few other things can channel-6.ghost.io/everything-y...
The House Fortemps crest ring???? SOBBING don't mind me 😭
My FC has two EU fanfest codes available. If anyone is looking for tickets let me know
This is why even in non-written media, you see people having a difficult time perceiving subtext, context, the idea that the writer is writing for a specific audience with a specific idea in mind, etc.
Because becoming functionally literate is *how* you learn to perceive all that stuff.
People tend to think of functional illiteracy as just being unable to read words aloud or such.
What it *really* means is such as not being able to perceive subtext, context, understand who the audience of something may be, etc.
Media illiteracy is fundamentally part of functional illiteracy.
Think about authors having to explain that they should not *have* to have the villain stop periodically and go "what I am doing is wrong, I am doing a bad thing. I am the bad guy, here" because being able to figure that out is part of what it means to be functionally literate.
For ppl who aren't aware:
Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut.
They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures.
You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!

Oh she is magnificent
neck guards are mandatory in olympic ice hockey but I'm getting the sense that a lot of these players are doing the "surgical mask only covering the mouth" version of the rule. not to sound vampiric but I can see a lot of you guyses throats.
Oh imagine that! Don’t give discord your face and certainly not your ID
Oh NOOOOOOOO. Did someone scrape their work without permission, credit, nor recompense to create and sell a cheaper knock off of your work and replace and/or devalue your work with that theft? That must SUCK SO MUCH.
Thank you it makes me insane when people include how someone looks in their critique of their politics.
"And they look just like how I'd expect someone with ~those views~ to look" hi yeah that's actually a fucked up thing to say even if it's about a basic white dude.
i don't wanna brag but i can get insecure about ANYTHING
If we assume that at least a large portion of slash writers was assumed female for a large part of their socialisation, it might be tempting/easy to transfer that when writing about men? Especially when writing about *young* men that the writers personally would refer to as boys.
There's probably some overlap/interference here with how so many cultures insist on calling grown women "girls"
THIS. And not just internally. My classmates in high school would even refer to each other as (local language equivalent of) "men" -- let's go, men! Let's do this, men! -- more frequently than they would use "boys", at least in my hearing.
Baffled by transphobes insisting that the name on your birth certificate is Your True Name Forever when it was common in my grandparents' generation to just...pick a name you like and use that, nbd. I literally found out both of my grandma's birth certificate first names FROM THEIR OBITUARIES.
abolish “A.i.” from your lives snd institutions. this crap makes things worse.

Discord isn't walking back anything yet, but this shows they are feeling the pressure and you should keep bullying and contacting them until they relent.
me and teh itsay tbh
it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences
