well you see this masculine term is "gender neutral" because for the longest time, men were the only people considered human beings, hope this helps!

Having entered my 40s this still rings true. You get a far better grasp of yourself and will be less tolerating of bs because you simply don't have the time to waste on trifles.

If it makes you feel any better (about turning 20)

I'm waaay hotter, more confident, physically stronger, and talented now at 33 than I was at 25 or 20 or 16.

Don't let the Advertisers get in your head

We didn't used to say that people were "over the hill" until their 60s

You're Not "past your prime," you're just getting Started

the reason all the Narratives are about 16-24 year olds is because that's about as old as you can make an "Everyman" protagonist. People get... specific, as they age. You can't tell a story that resonates with all 40-year-olds the way you can with 16-year-olds because the older you get the more 'specifically you' your lived experience gets

20 is the end of the Prologue

now that the statute of limitations has expired, i can say that during the pandemic, my apartment complex at the time tried to change the laundry room hours to business hours, and i very calmly and quietly went down, took a cinderblock off the garden wall, and threw it through the glass door. and it stayed open til 9pm, and we never heard about changing hours again. sometimes you have to throw a cinderblock in a very businesslike manner, i'm saying. this is a negotiation, among stakeholders, and i would like to make clear that the cost/benefit balance sheet used to make the decision to change the hours was missing a variable

Off the coast of Australia Macroctopus caught the shark, wrapped all its tentacles around it and soon released it. Most likely, he scraped all the parasites off her.

An issue with a lot of whump and injury writing guides is that they also tend to assume that the characters are always able-bodied but like.

It's been proven over and over again that people with chronic pain have higher tolerances for everyday pain, including things that would leave other people crying or screaming. When you experience dizziness, body aches, chills, etc as just your baseline, those things aren't a good indicator that you're injured or bleeding. Even mild concussions are very hard to notice when you have chronic headaches/migraines (speaking from experience).

And those are just the experiences of general chronic pain, not even more severe and debilitating conditions that can completely warp someone's relationship to their body and their brain's way of processing pain.

[cookie-dog-69]

speaking from extreme chronic migraines, ive been concussed at least once in my life and had no idea, because my baseline for like "I should be worried" pain is high.

Wait, beneath the sea floor?

OUGHGH??

OIUOHGHHVOIH!!!!!

HOLY SHIT

So I looked this up and there's three things I think should be mentioned:

Yes, this is real.

They found this ecosystem in underground hydrothermal caves where the water was 75 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius) and when it says "volcanic fluids" it means that, or where the hot water in the caves comes up through cracks to mix with the colder water above, allowing minerals and nutrients from the volcanic caves to escape and dissolved oxygen from the open ocean to enter.

The robot that tested the hypothesis of life under the seafloor was called SuBastian.

The only thing worse than having a job is not having a job. And the only thing worse than not having a job is looking for a job. And the only thing worse than looking for a job is being 19 years old.

this speaking as a cis person. Nothing brings me more joy seeing people find gender euphoria in becoming a mediocre representation of humanity. And I mean that so genuinely. Local boy finds joy and fulfillment wearing a cargo shorts and t-shirt combo. Local girl has transitioned to look like someone's disheveled aunt, has never been happier. Local person experiences gender euphoria rocking the world's worst bowl-cut. Without a scap of irony, this shit makes me see the wonder and whimsy in just, being a human. An average, person going through their day-to-day, is a wondrous thing? That's amazing. And heteronormativity has stripped these experiences of their joy. Like you're right, wearing a basic girlypop skirt should make my heart sing. Why not? Why are these expressions lesser because they're normal? All this to say. Shoutout to all the basic bitches out there. Yes that polo shirt does make you look like a divorced golfer dad. Yes, that too is kind of a slay, now that I think of it.

tis the season to remember Medjed aka The Smiter, an invisible egyptian deity with laser eyes and nonbinary swagger:

rotating them gently in my mind as they do a spiffy little dance number

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

please know that at any given moment Medjeh is occupying prime real estate in my brain as they perform an emotive interpretive dance based on the following artistic depiction:

[skyfire45]

Ok so I looked up Medjed, and apparently they look like that because they are supposed to be invisible but like, how exactly does one illustrate something that's invisible? So it's possible that the Egyptians, unsure of what else to, put a sheet over them to try and depict the fact that they're invisible in a way that could still be depicted.

So, with this in mind, since they are supposedly unable to perceived, one may wonder if they are Among Us as we speak.

Also note that, literally every other character in egyptian mythology and art is consistently painted en-profile. everyone, from the slaves to the gods is en-profile. But Medjed isnt, Medjed is looking at the observer Always at the observer. Medjed might be the first character in the narrative tradition to break the fourth wall. (its certainly the oldest I am aware of).
