This “reading” thing is fascinating…listening to other people’s perspectives deepens the human experience and could inform my benevolent rule!

You're right! A phonemic alphabetic syllabary based on the actual pronunciation of the words in the language used is certainly a much more conducive way of encouraging literacy among the greater population, allowing the common folk to express (in writing) concepts and terms which the written ideograms of the great Middle Kingdom are not well-suited for (given the great differences in our languages)!

Such increased literacy would allow even the common folk of our kingdom to read the great works of the Confucianists, thus promoting loyalty, filial piety, and virtuous behavior!

I'll have my scholars get to work on it right away!

LOL it seems we have met the anti-qin shi huang

I was going to cherrypick some highlights out of king sejong’s wikipedia to make him look good, but it turns out its basically all highlights

created think tanks and research grants for doctors and scholars

created an alphabet for the korean people that is easier to write AND better suited to the language.

disseminated ideas by establishing schools, cultural institutions, innovations the the printing press, and the preservation of rare books, leading to a flourishing of art, culture, and intellectual thought

elevated marginalised classes

created policies for the humane treatment of prisoners

forbade imprisonment of people over 70 or under 15

maternity AND paternity leave

also did i mention he was taking steps to ease his son into politics and ensure a smooth transition of power, while he was still alive to do so?

I was thinking of a pride art challenge people could do with their OCs, because I thought it'd be cute! A queer/trans artist with their creations.

but then I realised that same challenge would be infinitely more funny with folks who have atypical or horror OCs

A common theme in science fiction is that if you're in space, don't trust a corporation. And Earth is in space

"bosch" doesn't sound like the name of a guy who'd make paintings like that. but when you add "hieronymus" to the mix it starts to make sense

For all its faults Tumblr has truly ruined all other social media for me because my friends all have Instagram and are all trying to get me on Instagram more but every time I open Instagram there are like fifteen things screaming for my attention and when I get over myself long enough to start scrolling it's like. Where is my chronological dash. Where is the following-only option. Who are these people. Why are there so many videos. Everyone is screaming at me. And then before I know it I'm thirty minutes into scrolling and I haven't seen a single thing that I actually care about. At least on Tumblr when I see stuff I don't care about I know someone I follow has found a new interest.
