This is such a "common sense" way of putting it. Everybody memorize this for spitting it back out whenever needed.
Never thought I'd have the opportunity to say this again: Reducing women and girls to their vaginas and then forcing them to show those vaginas to strangers is not a feminist ideal.
I know everything is shit fucked sixteen ways before lunch time, but it remains a fact that you should not trust anyone who wants you to feel like the whole world hates you all the time. That's a person trying to sell you something, swallow you whole, or bleed you dry. Especially those times when it feels like they're right.
No one wants anything good from you who wants you always feeling scared and hated. They will wear you out and leave you in the bin the second fashions change. Things are extremely high levels of fucked, but you are not hated like that. It's scary and isolating but you are not alone like that. Worst case, come and shiver like a wet dog with me, I won't say anything and we can dry out.
I swear to fucking god. I would claw out OneDrive from my computer if I could. I would burn down their servers if I could. I would run down their stocks to the ground if I could. I hope every single one of their workers gets a better offer from a competitor in the next 24 hours. I hope every single one of their light bulbs explodes at the same time. I hope every single carton of milk in their fridge will always be expired.
Stop backing up my fucking files.
Stop asking me to back up my fucking files.
Stop taking my fucking files off my fucking computer.
I don't want a fucking reminder in three fucking days. Let me fucking say no.
Fuckers.

Muu's Birthday TL Convo 5/72026
Kotoko: ... You want everyone here to start getting along? Ha, you're so funny, aren't you. How dare you say that. I know what you did, Muu Kusunoki.
Muu: ...?? I don't know why you know that but, who cares?? It has nothing to do with you?
Kotoko: If you're aware of what you've done, how can you act so nïave. If my body was free and unrestricted, I would have already-
Muu: ?? But you're not free so what does it matter? It never had anything to do with you. I've been feeling sorry for Rei and Haruka-kun. No one else, and not Kotoko-san, right? Or am I simply not clever enough to understand? ... Uh, no. Its so funny how this has literally nothing to do with you.
Kotoko: “When the fangs of justice are unleashed, I will”
Muu: “I can’t take anything you say seriously with that muzzle on. Mind your business.”
Cannot believe in the year of 2026, I’m saying this but go off, Muu 💅🏻
Trio this.. (trying different artstyle)
I genuinely believe that the new SW trilogy wouldn’t have flopped out into irrelevance like it did if they hadn’t dumped Finn on the side of the freeway like a new pet rabbit the week after easter
Anyway in my heart Finn became a Jedi alongside Rey and inspired a Stormtrooper insurrection and Kyle Ron went back to his mom like he should have day fucking one and that angry redhead dude blew up with the star destroyer and Poe got to make it happen and at the end Rey doesn’t give a shit who her bitch ass non-palpatine parents might have been because she gets her new family like she needed and palpatine stays dead at the bottom of his musty hole like he should have and Finn and Poe give each other approximately 130% the amount of lingering meaningful looks and then one of their run-together-to-reunite moments results in a heat-of-the-moment make out like it should have and Luke and Leia meet in person a minimum of once so she can sibling slap him at least once for being a useless dramatic old hermit for a billion years and tell him to get the Chanel boots back on and stop being a sad hobo and then for no reason at all there is an ewok style moon of Endor forest party at the end like God intended
One of my biggest pieces of advice for writing--or, really, for anything--is to learn to love the mechanics of it.
This is not to say that you need to love every second of every part of writing to be a good writer, but I find people who dislike the actual act of writing don't usually make good writers.
I think that this is, in part, where the AI stuff comes from--people who like the idea of writing but don't like (or know how to do) the mechanics of writing choose to rely on AI because they see it as handling the mechanics, which they see as the less important part.
But the mechanics are a huge part of it. The plot, the characters, the world, the idea--all of that is important. But writing is also about the paragraphs and the sentences and the words. It's about playing around with wording or sentence structure or phrasing to see what works best. It's about literally writing the sentences--all of the sentences. It's about choosing where the paragraph breaks are, where scenes end, where chapters end.
And if you hate doing the mechanics of it--if you hate putting pen to paper or fingers to keyboard or however it is you draft--you will hate writing, and you will come to hate your writing. Because you will resent the actions required to do it. You will hate having to sit down and do the writing, because you hate actually writing.
There's nothing wrong with not enjoying actually writing. You can tell stories in other ways. Record a podcast. Sing. Tell stories to your friends.
Or teach yourself how to enjoy writing. Figure out what parts of it you do like and make those a bigger part of your process. Is text to speech easier? Do that to start. Do you not want chapter breaks for your first draft? That's fine.
Anyway, tl;dr: you will be a better writer and have a better time at it if you enjoy the mechanics of writing.

Okay, I finished grad school this spring, and I’ve applied for over 70 jobs over a ~8 week span, and the salary expectations of certain companies is insane. Like I did not get my master’s only to be paid less than what I started making right out of undergrad. That may sound entitled, but I don’t particularly care. I know I am young, but I have nearly 2 years of working in a GMP lab in addition to this higher degree that I wrote a 55 page thesis for (not counting references or cover page/table of contents/etc), at the very least, you can start me with the salary I finished out with in industry.
I actually do respect the hell out of companies who have told me “Thank you for your time. Unfortunately we have moved on with another candidate.” There is no limbo there.
What I don’t respect is that one company I applied for made me talk to an AI bot over the phone for an initial interview. I had to talk to said robot twice because I applied for two jobs there. It was unsettling.
Then this one was just strange. I had an initial interview with the president of this one company. 2 hours long. Most of it was just him telling me his personal philosophies regarding work and life and also some historical events, and then it ended on him telling me to email him if I still wanted to go to the second round of interviews. I did email him. About two weeks ago. Never heard back.
And while I recognize that old guy would have worked me like a dog, I’ll be damned if I say he wasn’t charismatic and interesting as hell. I was actually a little disappointed by the lack of response but not surprised.
“We chose the term “asexual” to describe ourselves because both “celibate” and “anti-sexual” have connotations we wished to avoid: the first implies that one has sacrificed sexuality for some higher good, the second that sexuality is degrading or somehow inherently bad. “Asexual”, as we use it, does not mean “without sex” but “relating sexually to no one”. This does not, of course, exclude masturbation but implies that if one has sexual feelings they do not require another person for their expression. Asexuality is, simply, self-contained sexuality.”
— The Asexual Manifesto, Lisa Orlando and Barbara Getz, 1972
Note the date, people:
That’s 1972
29 years before AVEN was started online,
and 47 years before the present.
And that’s only the date that Manifesto was written, so asexuals as members of a community must have existed at least some time before that.
So, no: we are not just Tumblr trenders. Get out of here with that.
supporting my asexual friends and foes by rebbloging this
It’s 50 years this month since the first version of the Asexual Manifesto was written. Aces have been writing about our experiences under this name for at least half a century. We are not an internet fad.
54 years as of 2026 and we are still here!
truly impressive and honestly fucking hilarious that shidou managed to paint himself Doing His Job as being an evil despicable murderer while completely omitting the part where he did, in fact, kill a guy
Me before the third trial reveal: “Okay, so long as he didn’t contribute to his patients’ brain deaths and was just very pushy to the families about donating their loved ones’ organs, he’s not a murderer, just a dickhead doctor.”
Me after the reveal: “I’m sorry, the hospital did WHAT NOW? THEY LET HIM OPERATE ON WHO? GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY WHOSE BRIGHT FUCKING IDEA WAS THIS? SHIDOU, THAT IS MURDER. HOW STRONG ARE YOUR COMPARTMENTALIZATION SKILLS THAT YOU HID THIS MURDER FROM THE SONG EXTRACTION DEVICE AND THIS PRETTY MUCH CAME OUT OF LEFT FIELD?”
There's a conversation to be had about Amane's story in Milgram and the shame of being wrong. I.E how she asks Es in her third voice drama if it's okay to be incorrect. If it's okay to do or believe something that you later realize is wrong. Because that plays into her behavior throughout Milgram and the way she holds onto this faith that has only done harm to her as well as her family.
She holds onto it because it's the only thing in her life that she's been taught that tells her that her behavior, how she responded, the way she was raised and treated hy her parents wasn't wrong, that it was reasonable, that it was an act done out of love regardless of how misguided.
So to Amane letting go of that admitting what she already recognized and knew before that what her faith taught was incorrect and harmful is as good as admiting that she is incorrect and harmful. It's admitting that she's nothing more than a murderer, someone who committed matricide, that her mom is dead now because of her for something that she and her parents shouldn't have ever believed. On top of that she would have to say that about the thing that led to her even being alive.
She would have to look at this thing that allowed her father to persist instead of taking his own life allowing her own conception. (Sidenote unimportant to this damn Ms.Momose you had a baby without a doctor wild commitment there. Like they believed this before she was born so like damn. No wonder Amane was saying shit like being born is the first miracle.) So, not only would she have to accept she herself is wrong but everything that led to her being alive was as well. The biggest obstacle to change is a persons inability or fear of being wrong.
People holding the belief that if they admit they're wrong once they'll be wrong forever. I think Amane's case does a very good job of displaying that mindset and the harm it causes to oneself and the people around them. Regardless of how one feels about her actions I feel like interrogating how harmful it is to view being incorrect this way and learning how to accept as well as recognize when we are wrong with grace is an important lesson to be able to take away from her story and contribution in this series.
Oh and of course letting others be wrong and learn from that is important as well. Though whether one forgives them for the wrong that they have caused to them is always up to those impacted.
there's something very sinister about this scene... i'm speaking as someone outside of japan so maybe it's different but all amane's mom would have to do is say her address and that she needs medical help and the emergency services would understand that something's wrong and come over. she obviously doesn't look well, but if she's well enough to be able to type in the numbers, surely she's well enough to press the dial button? even if she couldn't speak, she could still press dial and THEN give the phone to amane.
but by giving the phone to amane, she's resolving herself of any blame. if amane makes the phone call, then amanemom can push the fall onto her instead. she could even at a later date punish her for it, for failing a test given to her by god. she just didn't expect amane to punish her, which was ultimately her downfall.
This was something that came up when I discussed the MV with some friends
We think its likely that had Amane gone against her beliefs and called for an ambulance When Amane's dad found out Her mother would've claimed that she was unconcious and Amane called for help against her will and punished Amane for it
Mrs Momose had the opportunity to stop being so harsh on Amane when her dad wasn't around and to instead encourage pro-medicine thoughts and prepare her to call for an ambulance in a medical emergency
But she didn't...
Wow, I didn’t think it was possible to feel even less of “lady, wtf did you think was gonna happen after all the beatings, taser-ing, and waterboarding?” for Amane’s mother and pivot more towards rage and disgust towards that woman, but here I am.
I hate how much sense that makes. That is the exact, “Have your cake and eat it too” and self-serving “You made me stray so it’s not my fault” bullshit that the self-righteous zealots I’ve met in real life pull that makes me seethe.
Amane's third voice drama is literally just- Yamanaka repeating, "Amane was right in Magic" several times then leaving.
It is him legit writing Es saying, "Rehabilitation is good. I see that now."
Then just gut punches you eight times by going this is the pattern abused children have to live their lives under within society. Constantly having people switch up on them at the drop of a hat and then ease up when they finally snap by meeting their social and physical violence with the same thing right back.
All the while Magic and Amane sit there like, "You don't say?"
One could say it's presented as though Es is teaching her something but every third line Es and Yamanaka lovingly/judgmentally lean into the mic, look the audience dead in the face, take us all by the hands and say to the heavens "Amane already understood all this but the majority voted that mindset guilty first trial due to the religion stuff while simulataneously stating once a criminal always a criminal by voting Kotoko Innocent. So, we're here now."
There will most certainly be people that view you as nothing more than a villain, a monster, a murderer but I'm not going to be one of them. I don't want to defend murderers but I also don't want to ignore everything you've been through. You may not be able to accept the mistreatment you faced was that, you may never want to call it abuse or neglect, but you shouldn't have been made to feel that way and now that you have your own things you should be able to have them be how you want them, how you wouod like them to be. Not have to lock yourself into a system you never fully believed to make sense of things you never should have gone through.
Which yes. Yes. Give Amane all the good writing actually. That's the stuff baby.
Amane’s MV comes out this week and I have just one thing to ask:
Please let Amane be born June 27, 1974 so she is older than Kazui. I want her to be the oldest prisoner chronologically speaking.
Please god it would be so funny. I need one win this week please, please, please, plzzzzzzzz
Arrrgh, Amane isn’t even the oldest female prisoner. And the cat didn’t come back. Boo
But in all seriousness, ow. Just… ow. I wonder if Shidou and Mahiru could have lived if Amane had been voted Innocent during the first trial. Or if they had to die to get Amane to her breakthrough in her third trial voice drama
"nobody will pick me up"
