please read this story of a man accidentally discovering his wife is the world's best Tetris player

[lichfucker]

[image description: an excerpt of text that says:

“It’s funny,” I told Flewin. “We have an old Nintendo Game Boy floating around the house, and Tetris is the only game we own. My wife will sometimes dig it out to play on airplanes and long car rides. She’s weirdly good at it. She can get 500 or 600 lines, no problem.”

What Flewin said next I will never forget.

“Oh, my!”

TL;DR on the article

The husband was writing an article on classic video game records, was surprised to find out that holding the Tetris record is a bit of a big deal, and mentions how good his wife is at it.

The guy he’s talking to mentions that the record is 327, way lower than his wifes usual scores of 500-600.

They travel to a tournament, and she goes to do her attempt. Just after she beats 327, and is climbing higher, a judge brings up to the husband that the specific version she’s playing actually has a different record of 545.

She overhears that she needs to beat 500-something, and keeps going, setting the record at 841.

which, they later find out, is her second-best record

There was a decent but ultimately forgettable fantasy novel I read a long time ago that had a single moment that stuck with me.

The protagonist has just won the world famous sword fighting competition in the big, rich capital and is talking to his mentor, and says something about being the best swordsman in the world. The mentor frowns and tells him that no, he isn't. He is the best swordsman out of the people that could afford to show up to this tournament. There could be a mercenary way out in the mountains, patrolling a snow encrusted fort's walls that could kick his ass and there was no way to know until he was already losing to the guy.

I think about that a lot, and how for every apparently dominant competitor, there might be a fucking ronin out there somewhere capable of destroying them.

Also true about singers and storytellers and philosophers and theologians. You only hear about the ones that are out there.

Astronaut Reid Wiseman lost his wife to cancer in 2020. Yesterday he blasted off on an historic mission around the moon. The 50-year-old said he had to have a heartbreaking discussion with his two teenage daughters about the plan for them in the event of his own death.

Wiseman has raised daughters Ellie and Katherine as a single dad after the death of his wife Carroll. He was prepared to quit his job as an astronaut when she was was diagnosed, but Carroll refused to let him give up his dream job.

Wiseman said he wanted to mentally prepare his girls on the possibility he might not return from the 10-day Artemis II mission.

Wiseman told them: “Here’s where the will is, here’s where the trust documents are, and if anything happens to me, here’s what’s going to happen to you.”

He said, “I actually wish more people in everyday life talked to their families in that way because you never know what the next day is going to bring."

one of the most powerful tools you have at your disposal is the ability to be normal about stuff. be normal about sex. be normal about bodies. be normal about sex work. be normal about peoples kinks. and then, most importantly, when someone gets prudish, or puritanical, or conservative, recognize that you are the normal one in the conversation, and act like it.

"You think she should be ashamed? that's weird man. why do you care so much. You think that's gross? okay... kinda weird that you care though. you found out about her kinks? what are you, like, stalking her or something? what, you think her job sucks 'cause it involves sex? what's it got to do with you? you're really obsessed with other people man, it's kinda creepy."

the duality of shame and normalcy is not static. you get to decide what is normal and what is shameful, and you can do it by your own standards. If you let someone else make that decision for you, you're ceding more ground than you could possibly know.

[puppygirllaika]

also: when someone is being shitty, just act like you don't understand what they mean. make them explain it. make them explain it in detail. Eventually they will get to a level of blatantness that they can't justify, and you can hit them with the classic weirded-out look and a good old fashioned "okay..." or "i don't know, that seems like a weird thing to care about."
