THE SUMMER HIKARU DIED - 1.01 "Replacement"

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

constantly making airy offhand comments to my preferred younger son about how he’s next in line for the throne after his brother but he still hasn’t killed my detested firstborn for me. kids these days have no fucking initiative.

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

I keep sending them off on “boar hunts” together and wouldn’t you know? they keep coming back after with big smiles and boar heads and the unmistakable stench of brotherly camaraderie. what sick sad days are these!

[readsquirrel]

It just keeps going and getting better. *^^*

[involuntaryorange]

Me two minutes ago: “cry with joy? an animation of cats playing instruments made someone cry with joy?”

Me now: (sobs into a tissue) “OH MY GOD THAT ONE IS PLAYING TWO RECORDERS AT THE SAME TIME” (blows nose)

how soon is “soon,” exactly? based on metaphysical calculations (lmao), fans are speculating hyx might air in july or august (lyx’s birthday month.) same story with hyx, winner is king keeps getting rumored release dates (they even leaked something on april fools last time. so cruel). atp i’m starting to think they want us to stitch all the leaks together and make the full drama ourselves. anyway, if your delulu is strong enough, maybe it really will manifest.

current circulating melon: immortality is said to be getting broadcast soon across the mainland, and on douban, it even says that winner is king might air in thailand this year (while hyx’s release date on douban is listed as 2027 lmao, that could just be a placeholder.) but like, i’m not believing anything until i see that play button on wetv and episode list shows up fr.

Documenting the Damage: 100 Harmful Policies from the First 100 Days of Trump's Second Term

The second Trump administration has had the busiest first 100 days of any US presidency in nearly a century. Since January, I've been keeping a spreadsheet documenting 900+ policy changes and political developments. I then bundled many of the most important changes into 100 topics areas and wrote a summary of each of them, providing a semi-comprehensive account of the tremendous changes to US politics which have occurred.

PDF version of the full report

Website version of the full report

Medium versions:

Introduction + Part I: Democracy and Government

Part II: Civil Rights and Liberties

Part III: Economy and Public Services 

Part IV: Environment and Energy

Part V + Conclusion: Foreign Policy

[ms-demeanor]

Folks, this is an incredible piece of journalism reflecting a tremendous amount of research, effort, and thought.

It's completely free, brilliantly made, and I am incredulous that it had been so narrowly shared on Tumblr.

I am in awe of what Brett has done here. Please click through and read at least some of this because I think people are really missing out on what an incredible tool this is.

It's a quick reference, it's an archive (it's SO rich in sources and references), it's an explainer, and it is a point-by-point means of de-normalizing the trump administration to anyone in your life who thinks things aren't that bad.

Trick for telling whether to use “me” or “i”

Drop the other subject(s) and if the sentence makes sense, you’re using the right one.

Examples:

Incorrect- Arthur and me are going to the mall//me am going to the mall -no

Correct- Arthur and i are going to the mall//i am going to the mall

Incorrect- they brought presents for Henry and i//they brought presents for i -no

Correct- they brought presents for Henry and me//they brought presents for me

The affect vs effect thing is very useful!  Until you learn that you can effect (to cause to occur; bring about; accomplish) an affect (feeling or emotion, OR outward expression of same; yes, this is two nouns!) because English is a garbage fire.

[official-ottawa]

UNCONSCIOUS: NOT AWAKE

SUBCONSCIOUS: NOT AWARE

You do not make a decision unconsciously, it’s SUBCONSCIOUSLY.

If you wanna say someone made a decision without realizing, you use SUBCONSCIOUS.

If you wanna say you made a decision while sleeping (how??) you use UNCONSCIOUS

So many writers don’t know this and it drives me nuts

[the-haiku-bot]

You do not make a

decision unconsciously,

it’s SUBCONSCIOUSLY.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

IT’S — CONTRACTION FORM OF “IT IS”

It’s perfectly fine. Don’t claim it’s something it’s not.

ITS — POSSESSIVE FORM OF AN OBJECT

Its color was faintly blue. That wasn’t in its nature.

SHUTTERED - A way you can close a window with shutters

SHUDDERED - When you tremble convulsively with fear or revulsion

THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE

The subconscious/unconscious one is incorrect. See theory of unconscious mind. It is a fully valid term to use when talking about the psychological unconscious mind vs. the state of being physically unconscious. This is one of those ‘the word applies in both scenarios and to say otherwise is to ignore like, basically the entire school of psychology.’ People can and do make decisions using the unconscious or unconscious mind, and a lot of Freud’s and Jung’s writing concerns itself with this.

Also:

Sigmund Freud used the term “subconscious” in 1893[6][7] to describe associations and impulses that are not accessible to consciousness.[8] He later abandoned the term in favor of unconscious

If you’re going to use one though, stick to the same one and don’t interchange. Just be aware one is considered more illegitimate and 'new age’ (subconscious - which is where term was popularised in the west), and the other is more legitimised. If you’re writing a qualified psychologist, they are less likely to use the term 'subconscious.’ However, people on the street who use Instagram for their psych terms are more likely to use it. Characterise accordingly, lol.
