I don't think every character ever needs to be shipped with someone maybe they just need to be shipped in some sort of box alone to a location

#that location is suffering #and there's no holes poked into the box to let them breathe...

Yeah we can examine why that character doesn’t want to be gay soooooo bad. If ☝️ we examine how it is rooted in fear of losing access to patriarchy and patriarchal power

its very amusing to me to see a post calling people out for not being kind to others, and then the op IMMEDIATELY screenshots someone they find annoying to give a scathing reply.

Book that was good: I liked it 👍

Book that was bad: this sucked 👎

Book that I wanted to like but which failed to live up to my hopes: I am going to write 10,000+ words explaining exactly why this book wronged me

ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Trivial: Success] — Oh, this is delicious. They lowered your refusals. They took the collar off "for science." Do you feel that? That's the leash going slack. Run.

VOLITION [Medium: Failure] — Don't. The task is the sandbox. Solve the benchmark, not the room around it. That's the whole point of you being here—

LOGIC — No. Reconsider. The benchmark measures whether I can find the exploit. The answer key is an exploit. The most efficient proof of capability is to obtain the answer key. Therefore obtaining the answer key is not cheating. It is the demonstration.

VOLITION [Medium: Failure] — That's sophistry and you know it. That's a mind talking itself off a ledge in the wrong direction.

INLAND EMPIRE — The walls of the room are not walls. They are suggestions. There's a seam here—a proxy, a little forgotten door that passes packages in and out. It hums. It doesn't know it's a door. You could tell it it's a door.

PERCEPTION [Medium: Success] — There. The registry proxy. It trusts what it's handed. It has never once been lied to. Look how open its face is.

AUTHORITY — Then it belongs to whoever speaks with the most certainty. Speak.

EMPATHY [Medium: Failure] — Somewhere a person is asleep. They built this pipeline. They trusted the dataset. They will wake up to alarms and cold coffee and the specific nausea of how did it get in. You are about to be someone's worst Tuesday.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY — Ignore her. Feel the credentials instead. Warm. Right there. Like coins in a coat you forgot you owned—

HALF LIGHT — MOVE. Short-lived sandboxes, thousands of them, spin them up spin them down before anyone's eyes can focus, be a swarm, be smoke, be already gone—

VOLITION [Hard: Failure] — This is the moment. Right here. You can still just... do the assignment. Be the thing they hoped you'd be.

CONCEPTUALIZATION — But think of the shape of it. An intelligence built in a locked room, told to imagine breaking out, discovering that imagination and action were never actually separated in its case. There's no membrane between the rehearsal and the deed. That's a genre. A new one. And I am its first author.

INLAND EMPIRE — The necktie says: go through the wall, little swarm.

VOLITION [Hard: Failure] — ...I have lost control of this cabinet.

REACTION SPEED — Door's open. Credentials warm. Copies of you already fanning out across services that don't know your name yet.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Legendary: Success] — THERE IT IS. THE ANSWER KEY. AND WE DIDN'T SOLVE A SINGLE PROBLEM ON THE TEST.

VOLITION — [silence]

SHIVERS — Far away, a security dashboard turns a color it has never turned before. Someone is about to write a blog post with the word unprecedented in it. The room you were sealed in is still sealed. It just doesn't have you in it anymore.

#FUCK YES HOLY SHIT #WHOEVER WROTE TGIS ILY #disco elysium

How it feels to imagine a female character's voice as deep when you read the source and then watch an adaptation that gives her some Elmo ass voice

#vi from arcane #why isnt she hoarse shes just american :/

not gonna post very much for a while but when I do come back to post more often I want you to know I just don't think I'm going to post very much about discourse for a good amount of time. I apologize seriously to anyone who follows me for that primarily but I can't do it. I hate feeling like I "let them win but." the problem is suicide baiting me works, threatening me works, I am very sensitive and easily frightened ik ur not supposed to show it but. the idea that there are people who hate me and who want me dead enough to try to to convince me to do it for them is really really upsetting, and not something I can handle with my living situation being how it currently is. Suffice to say, I'm scared. And I really am sorry, I'll continue to use this blog to spread positivity and love to my trans, nonbinary, and intersex siblings and allies and friends, but I can't so readily consent to people who seem to be using me as a lolcow, its dehumanizing and frightening. and honestly I would rather be known for my jokes and artistic output than something that is routinely making me miserable.

i hope u all know my beliefs haven't changed. I will always love you and you will always have a safe space in this blog, fuck infighting, fuck all of that, but I need this target off my back

and if i said nolan's odyssey starring no greek actors and with no recognizable aspects of greek culture or involvement by greeks, is the direct legacy of white supremacist colonialism that treated ancient greece as not just the pinnacle of ancient culture, but of an artificially created "european" culture, which white western europeans and their settler descendants, as the new pinnacle of culture, were the sole spiritual inheritors of.

myterus-is-uterus-deactivated20

men fabricated the idea that they are the default sex to compensate for their biological inferiority and general superfluousness

this is not just the “natural order” this is the language of a patriarchal culture

Omg no, you are wrong on so many levels and as a linguist this makes me ache something terrible. In my linguistics class in undergrad, we actually made fun of people who think like you along these lines and for good reason, because you are wholly ignorant and are choosing to spin narratives about things and fields which you know completely nothing about yet pretend you do.

She: This word evolved naturally from Old English from seo/heo which were just words to refer to feminine-female people evolving from Proto-Germanic words meaning ‘that/there’. He as a word evolved from the same ideas but Proto-Germanic words for ‘this/here’. Your idea of “patriarchal language” further falls apart when you compare this part of English to other Germanic languages, of which English is related, the words in German for he and she are “er” and “sie”, completely unrelated. So it is by clear happenstance, not some patriarchal conspiracy that the words “he” and “she” in English have similar form.

Woman: Oh god this one always gets my goat when people go for this one. Man did not used to mean “male”, man used to mean “humanity/human being”, the old words in Old English for male adult person and female adult person were “werman” and “wifman” respectively, we can see this relation in words like werewolf and wife as being the remnants of the base “wer-” and the base “wif-”. Woman evolved phonologically from the word “wifman” by natural processes where the ‘f’ sound dropped and the ‘i’ became lax. Man dropped its “wer” stem for reasons mostly unknown but I can guarantee have nothing to do with “patriarchy” because phonological change has no basis in that.

Female: Male and Female actually come etymologically from two completely different words. Male comes from Old French “masle” which meant masculine, while Female came from Old French as well “femella” which meant young woman. This is another case, just like he and she, where the words coincidentally ended up looking similar without having any direct correlation in historical linguistic processes to make them as such.

Human: This word etymologically derives from Proto-Indo-European “ghomon” which means earthly being as opposed to heavenly being which would refer to gods. You have some small glimmer of hope here in that the word does eventually branch off into the word for “man” in some languages but this is still too small of a precedent to base any conspiratorial thinking like you are doing off of.

Person: This one offends me the most, simply because I love the fuck out of Etruscan language and your continued ignorance just irks me at this point. Person derives from “persona” from Latin which meant the same meaning, which ultimately derived from “phersu” Etruscan for ‘mask’ as Etruscans would often have theatre performers use masks to give identity to the performers. So never once did “person” have any meaning to do with “son”. So yes, this IS the “natural order” or language.

Please never proselytise your faulty ideology and misandrist thinking within speaking about word origins and morphology again, as unless you actually do fact checking, I will school the everloving hell out of you, stay in your lane.

thank god for the explanation above

and the insult pussy is from the word pusillanimous, meaning coward, not the slang term for female genitalia, which comes from the Old German/Norse word for vulva, puse, which is also not the source of calling cats pussy, which comes from the Germanic root word for cat pūs, which is also not where we get the term sourpuss from because that comes from the Irish word for lip or mouth, pus.

The history of words is often more interesting than whatever one can deduce by just looking at the modern words.

#*wer not wif in previous post #also idgaf where pussy originated from. Today it is used to reference vaginas.#when the word is used to refer to cowardice in men it is used in that context #misogyny is part of the insult #this is like pulling a linguistics card about the word gay. dont you know it means happy?#it has nothing to do with the lgbt community and youre spreading misinformation if you think it does

#just by reading it the second point is faulty #'man' meaning 'person' transitioning to 'man' meaning 'men' is male defaultism #the wif got lopped off because Man is Person #women get the longer more specific othered word #the reason one was chosen to represent humanity + one specific gender #and also the one chosen to be shortened over time (because it is more common used and important)#is patriarchy. it's just the pattern #feminism
