You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.

[prokopetz]

Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?

[buggyhuman]

Three cueing. Once you learn about it, a whole lot of very frustrating online discourse with US Americans makes so much sense 😭

How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers

For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have

If you were taught to read with the three cueing method, and now struggle to read fluently, you can still learn to read properly!

I’m SEVERELY disappointed this post didn’t include the eye witness statement of the mirror crash incident in question

[hyperlexichypatia]

IDK I think if cis men are being told that being fat will lower their testosterone and make them Insufficiently Masculine, and cis women are being told that being fat will raise their testosterone and make them Excessively Masculine, and fat trans people are being denied the right to medically transition if they're fat, and thin trans people are warned against HRT because it will make them fat (and this is said about both testosterone and estrogen HRT), and androgynous-presenting people are told that only thin people count as androgynous...

Then maybe...

Maybe...

Maybe the weight loss industry is just using Gender to enforce fatphobia.

All fantasy authors wish they had a bigger bathtub in their house. You can tell by every bathing scene ever written into a fantasy novel

I thought I hadn’t done this because all I could remember were mikveh scenes but no I definitely put the Luxurious Bath in Sorel where they get scrubbed out of their fox skin and dressed up as a handsome officer for mysterious Angel of Death reasons

I always thought Reddit was a place where people could share things they created.A few days ago I posted one of my original paintings. People loved it. We had wonderful conversations about art, emotions, and how everyone saw something different in the same sunset.

About two hours later I was permanently banned from r/MadeMeSmile for “self-promotion.”

I accepted that different communities have different rules.But then something even stranger happened.Soon afterward, a moderator from r/pics started going through my account. Not just the new post—many of my older painting posts disappeared as well. One after another. Then I was permanently banned there too.

Maybe it was the same moderator. Maybe it wasn’t. I honestly don’t know.

What surprised me wasn’t even the ban itself. It was realizing how much power individual moderators have over what millions of people are allowed to see. One decision can erase years of posts from a community and instantly cut off your ability to participate, even if those posts had been happily sitting there for months or years.I’m not saying moderators shouldn’t have rules. Communities need moderation.But it does make you wonder where the line is between protecting a community and allowing a single interpretation of the rules to completely reshape what people can share.

The funny part?

I wasn’t advertising anything in those posts. I wasn’t posting prices or asking anyone to buy anything. I was simply sharing my original paintings because I enjoy discussing art with strangers from around the world.

Anyway…

Here’s the painting that apparently caused all the trouble. 🎨

[free-my-girl-tourney]

She’s not in the tournament, but free my girl Rosie Cotton from The Lord of the Rings. She committed the crime of being a love interest to a male character who is shipped with another man. The fandom constantly disregards her and calls her Sam’s “beard” despite the fact that they’re very much in love and have 13 kids together! I don’t care that she’s a minor character, the LOTR/wider Tolkien fandom is happy to flesh out minor male characters all the time. Why can’t Rosie get the same attention?

rosie cotton propaganda!

[zathuraroy5]

She's in the game Tales of the Shire, and she's so fleshed out! (As much as the characters in that game are fleshed out). Wants to prove herself as a good farmer to her kind but sexist father, has a works hard and takes no bullshit attitude. Little hints that she might have a crush on Sam but it very much "swept under the rug" in that "no no, I didn't make a comment about him, please grow these veggies for me". I haven't finished the whole friendship quest with her yet so I might be missing some stuff, but Weta did a pretty good job considering how the fandom treats her.
