You don't have a male or female brain – the more brains scientists study, the weaker the evidence for sex differences

Rather than distinctly male or female, the human brain is much more like the heart, kidneys and lungs – basically the same no matter the sex of the body it's in.

“This collapse is a telltale sign of a problem known as publication bias. Small, early studies which found a significant sex difference were likelier to get published than research finding no male-female brain difference.”

[mckitterick]

the notes on this are toxic - to help clear up any misunderstanding, here’s the actual science paper:

Dump the “dimorphism”: Comprehensive synthesis of human brain studies reveals few male-female differences beyond size

With the explosion of neuroimaging, differences between male and female brains have been exhaustively analyzed. Here we synthesize three dec

in short: brains are brains

There is a quality of books (or movies or shows) that I can best describe as “stickiness,” which is separate from being good or even enjoyable: a sticky book is one I just keep thinking about. Sometimes it’s because a book is very good (e.g. The Locked Tomb), and sometimes it’s because a book is very bad (e.g. ACOTAR), but there are also very good and very bad books that are slippery, such that when I’m done reading them they slip from my thoughts like water from a hydrophobic surface.

Twilight is such a good example. First, when something is that popular, it’s automatically a bit sticky not only because of its ubiquity, but also because there is the question of why it’s so popular, especially if it’s not that good. Like what is this saying about the culture at that moment.

Furthermore, there are the layers of subtext, which I think are especially sticky when you cannot tell how much of it the author intended. In Twilight there is the surface-level weirdness e.g. about Edward comparing the sin of premarital sex to the sin of murder, and then you learn Stephanie Meyer is Mormon and you see that ideology, and then you get into the really weird stuff where you’re like, Stephanie I can’t tell if you thought this through girl and my goodness I hope you didn’t.

he couldn’t say it, there were a thousand reasons why he couldn’t say it.

maybe orpheus always looks back because his very effort to reverse death means that he can't look forward. if he could look forward, he could accept eurydice's death, grieve, and keep moving in life. his refusal to accept her death is looking back. his going down to the underworld, asking hades and persephone for her life, trying to lead her out... it's all 'looking back'. he does nothing for the entire story except look back. orpheus! looks! back! it's his entire thing! the story ends the same way it begins: orpheus looked back.

a lot of fandom seems to gloss over the fact that cas is like, funny? like has a dry sense of humor. often it gets pigeonholed into naivete or cluelessness, which in the earlier seasons is sometimes genuine, but take, for example:

“But come on, dried dung can only be stacked so high.”

“I’m not ashamed to say that my big brother knocked me into next week.”

“It’s a shortened version of my name.”

“I’m an angel, you ass.”

“I missed television.”

“The bird represents God. And coyote is man, endlessly chasing the divine, yet never able to catch him. It’s…it’s hilarious.”

“[What the hell?] Guess again.”

“Uh, you could try….insouciant, maybe.”

“You should’ve seen Luke.”

“[Do I look like I’m joking?] …you never look like you’re joking.”

“Just so you understand….why I can’t help.”

“[How was Jerusalem?] Arid.”

“[What was riding in a car like?] Uh…slow.”

“[I’m dead?] Condolences.”

“Don’t ask stupid questions.”

“[How’d you get here??] I took a bus.”

“[‘Hello? Hello??’] Uh…that is still the term.”

“It seems this is going to require talking to people.”

“Less dumb, less ass.”

“I got this. I don’t got this.”

“[to a cat] Hey, I’m not through with you.”

cas’ humor is weird and offbeat and esoteric because….he is? cas is weird and offbeat and esoteric. luv it.

annoying boyfriend neil

so you know that in canon neil is just exactly the right amount of considerate and annoying to do annoying shit like holding his hand a few inches away from andrew face to get his attention but still not touching him

well imagine more of that

i present annoying bf neil

andrew won’t wake up bc of sound but doesn’t like to be touched awake to the point of aggression? neil would 100% blow air in his face - straight up his nostrils and it annoys the FUCK out of andrew but it remains the most successfully method

the first time neil does it andrew is just baffled - genuinely too confused as to what the actual fuck is happening to even be angry and just stares at neil for a solid minute trying to figure out how he ended up here with his life

the first time neil does this on the team bus the team is DELIGHTED seeing andrew’s simp side for the first time

[ilynpilled]

a character being a perpetrator does not negate their victimhood and neither does their victimhood negate being a perpetrator. u can accept and reckon w both dimensions in ur analysis

[ilynpilled]

there is nothing morally purifying about suffering or victimhood, it is not something that inculcates “goodness.”

one’s character has no impact on whether they were/are a victim or not, victim status is not something that is only afforded to the palatable.

it also does not = absolution.

ppl cant handle this in cartoons made for teenagers lets not get ahead of ourselves
