it is really cool that there is now an official maori word for autism, created with input from autistic maoris, and it was specifically coined to be nonjudgmental

quote from article:

“In my experience, people with autism tend to have their own timing, spacing, pacing and life-rhythm, so I interpreted autism as ‘takiwatanga’, meaning ‘his or her own time and space’,” [Keri Opai] told government-funded Maori Television.

It’s also key to note that the word for disabled in te reo Maori is now whaikaha (to have strength or to be differently able), and at the same time takiwatanga and whaikaha were minted, about 200 words were added that also describe other mental health, addiction, and disability issues.

So now, about 125,000 of the roughly 561,000 Maori people in NZ will be able to effectively describe and discuss autism and so much more in their native language for the benefit of themselves and their loved ones. That is the best thing I’ve heard all day.

In a post-truth world, where emotional appeal sometimes drowns out factual accuracy, the humanities are our compass. They help us question the narratives we’re presented with, cultivate empathy, and dig deeper into the layers of truth behind media, politics, and culture.

By embracing literature, history, and the arts, we enhance our critical thinking and foster a connection to the human stories that shape our collective experience. 💭

Check out our latest blog post on how the humanities equip us to navigate the complexities of a world filled with conflicting truths.

also i think "everyone is beautiful and no one is horny" syndrome is for sure contributing to the phenomenon of people thirsting over tedesco. we are oversaturated with marvelslop hunks, the people yearn for shitty old italian men

y’all ever read a fanfic that you cannot believe an author just wrote for free?? what an honor it is to read a piece of someone’s soul they shared out of nothing but love for a piece of media. what a privilege it is to be allowed their talent because you share an interest!!

we need to legalise learning for adults

"the education system here is so bad 😭" they taught u how to open a book didn't they?

[dumbpuppyfag]

how is it that revolutionary movements in the world's poorest countries can understand dialectical materialism but ppl in the global imperial core can't learn basic history? ur phone has access to every major published work in history for free (in ur own language no less!) but first u gotta stop pretending they hit u with a bolt gun when u turned 18. the problem isn't that this information wasn't spoon-fed to u, the problem is that u think it has to be.

[dumbpuppyfag]

"but op they taught us phonics wrong" listen to me. listen. do u think u got a better or worse introduction to the written english language than adults who taught themselves from youtube videos? bc i know a BUNCH of them and they never say this shit to me

"i’ll lighten up eventually, but lately i’ve been deep diving into the “gift of tears” an ancient belief that some sorrow is sacred. ⠀ early monks called it penthos: sorrow that cleanses, a second baptism. not weakness, but recognition but of beauty, grief, love and loss. a way the soul speaks when language fails. ⠀ i’ve cried lately over kindness, grief, animals mourning their people. and it doesn’t feel pathetic. sometimes it feels devotional. ⠀ they said if you cried during prayer, it meant divinity was near. ⠀ if you’ve cried this week, maybe it wasn’t just sadness. maybe it was holy."

I think "doll" entering casual use for non-trans people is as loaded as "twink" achieving saturation with the straights. Like, perhaps we should Not.
