What up? This is a private blog so expect fandom reblogs and random general crap about my life. I'm a mid-level programmer and surprisingly good at showing people what to do. So ask if you need help with a theme or something feel free to ask.

Sokka and suki are supposed to help him keep the fire nation in check. not teaching his daughter argumentation tactics and how to formulate contracts!

Sokka arguments that they are raising the future fire lord so technically "we are we are working ahead of schedule!" btw the lily pad frogs in question

I saw this video and it really sums up what apd is like. the issue most of the time isn’t us not hearing you (as in you’re too quiet) we don’t need you to be louder we just need you to say it differently

A Tiktok by Courtney Carini.

The same person plays two different characters.

Person 1 says something unintelligible followed by the words, "drive my car".

Person 2 says, "I'm sorry what."

Person 1 says something unintelligible followed by the words, "drive my car".

Person 2 says, "...what about your car"

Person 1 says something unintelligible followed by the words, "drive my car. My car", with emphasis on the second my.

Person 2 says, "I heard the "my car" part. I didn't hear the 1st part before that."

Person 1 says something unintelligible followed by the words, "drive my car".

Person 2 says, "You Want to drive it? You Don't want to drive it? You want Me to drive it? What's the first part???

Person 2 is becoming more frustrated.

Person 1 says something unintelligible followed by the words, "drive my car".

Person 2 says, "Why do you keep saying it the same way??? I'm clearly not hearing it when you say it like that. Can you please just enunciate the 1st part?!"

Person 1 says, "Ugh. Forget it. I just wanted to drive my car."

Person 2 sounds exasperated as they say, "You want to drive your car! Thank you! That's all I needed!"

This is what a real, qualified OBGYN will tell you about what women feel when they get an abortion

Dr. Willie Parker, who is trained as a gynecologist and OBGYN, is a hero for the pro-choice movement because he’s honest about the undiscussed aspects of getting (or not getting) an abortion. Watch how he gives a consultation.

[afunnyfeminist]

That last statement about regret is so important, because so many people don’t understand what it is or what causes it. Anti-choicers exploit this by manipulating pregnant people and creating doubt, which only increases the likelihood of regret, no matter what decision the pregnant person makes. You know what is best for you, even if it takes some time to figure it out.

I love desire paths. There's something so wonderous about seeing an echo of humanity. Depending on it's location, a desire path can mean so many different things.

In a city, like the pic above, they represent rebellion, and efficiency. The messiness of humanity. We like to imagine we're oh so logical and neat so we design our cities to be logical and neat an then real humans literally trample on that idea. The ego required to think you can design something perfect that checks every box. Life is all about compromise and patching stuff when some new problem arises. Though people have certainly tried! Ohio state univeristy let students carve their desire paths, and then paved them over. It looks pretty artsy.

Some people will try to discourage desire paths, but this is almost always going to fail.

Eventually, people just have to accept them. Humans are too dang stubborn.

Certain desire paths are just adorable. A 0.5 second time saver. You just can't design for maximum efficiency, humans will always find shortcuts!

Though on occasion a desire path can actually be the least efficient way...especially if you're superstitious.

In a wilder area, such as below, they show us the curiosity of humans. A desire path somewhere natural often tells you there's something interesting just ahead. (Though remember some ecosystems are fragile and will suffer if trampled! Stick to paths in these sorts of areas)

And how about desire stairs? I always think these look so cool. We get see humans determination to climb, to traverse every kind of terrain.

And for something really crazy...a desire path used for centuries will create a 'holloway'

All of these pics are off the Desirepath subreddit, check them out for more examples! And many thanks to the users who submitted these photos.

Judith Butler on the culture wars, JK Rowling and living in “anti-intellectual times”

AF: I want to challenge you on the term “terf”, or trans-exclusionary radical feminist, which some people see as a slur.

JB: I am not aware that terf is used as a slur. I wonder what name self-declared feminists who wish to exclude trans women from women’s spaces would be called? If they do favour exclusion, why not call them exclusionary? If they understand themselves as belonging to that strain of radical feminism that opposes gender reassignment, why not call them radical feminists? My only regret is that there was a movement of radical sexual freedom that once travelled under the name of radical feminism, but it has sadly morphed into a campaign to pathologise trans and gender non-conforming peoples. My sense is that we have to renew the feminist commitment to gender equality and gender freedom in order to affirm the complexity of gendered lives as they are currently being lived.

Darlings I love your enthusiasm but just because something has tentacles doesn’t make it “eldritch”

[sauntervaguelydown]

Eldritch is more about “ancient and unfathomable, impossible to completely understand with a mortal human mind”. If something is just a very cool but entirely knowable monster with a lot of wiggly bits, like that’s tight but it’s not necessarily eldritch. We often use tentacles for eldritch horrors because tentacles remind us of the unknowable and alien depths of the ocean, and that’s cool as hell, but like. An octopus isn’t eldritch.

For example. Hm. Pyramid Head is a cool ass monster who is also a god, but on a scale of Eldritch to Euclidian (where 0 is entirely mundane and 10 is unknowable Lovecraftian horror terror) Pyramid Head is probably a 4? He can’t do anything without physically manifesting, and his manifestation basically follows the rules of physics when it engages with the world. The big knife is just a big knife. He gets points for manifesting randomly, existing in a state of unknowable limbo when he’s not tormenting you, and having an absolutely unknowable internal life if he has one at all. (I know the games did something with there being a red and a yellow pyramid head but tbh I can’t remember how any of that works so I’m just going off 2 and the good movie)

The dimension of Silent Hill itself, though, is like a 9. It’s mysterious, unknowable except in a state of madness. Madness, or communion with the divine, which is ecstatic madness. It’s a place with a mind of its own, whose manifestations are both literal and allegorical. It corrupts whatever it touches. It occupies stretching liminal spaces, defies its own boundaries at the worst times.

Fairies can be Euclidean or they can be eldritch depending on the writer—Euclidean fairies are born and (probably die) in the same body without changing, have powers with cleanly defined limits, may be wise but are limited to their own scope of experience from which to draw this wisdom. Eldritch fairies by contrast may have confusing, fundamentally inhuman bodies; they may have powers that don’t make any sense, or which are terrifying to think about too hard; their desires and goals do not line up with human desires and goals; to fully understand their perspective on the world would break a human mind and drive one to madness.

The eldritch is either profoundly horrific, or sublime—or both. It is uncanny. The more knowable it is, the less eldritch it is. Which is fine! There’s degrees. I’d put most Hive Minds somewhere on the scale, usually the lower end, by the way

[sauntervaguelydown]

#long post#a good breakdown!#because yeah the key to eldritch horror is its inability to be fully understood by human minds#a 10 on the eldritch scale is something that absolutely breaks your mind if you try to fully comprehend it#and there are differences between eldritch and cosmic horror!#eldritch is about the strange and unknowable#cosmic is about like. scale.#like in actual size but also in like 'infinitely more powerful than us and unstoppable in its might'#it's about inevitability and the relative insignificance of humans in a vast universe#full of vast forces that are uncaring at best and actively malevolent at worst#they just coincide a lot because y'know#it stands to reason an ancient and endlessly powerful cosmic horror god being's true nature would be beyond our mere mortal comprehension I like this, this is also a good point. You can put the cosmic horror on a Y axis and Eldritch quotient on an X axis and chart a lot of things together

I'm over-simplifying but you know how Heidigger basically created a philosophy that could be endlessly re-analyzed and re-intepteted without ever producing something new? 2nd wave Theosophy is that but for theology. It's a spiritualized hemenuetic cycle with no center.

[normal-horoscopes]

Manly P. Hall is the Heidigger of Occult Philosophy both in his analytical systems and the fact that he was notably more racist than his colleagues.

[normal-horoscopes]

In regards to Heidigger being involved with the Nazis, Adorno said something like it "revealed flaws inherent in his thought." It's one of those quotes where you can physically hear the sarcastic contempt.

"what if every religion was the same religion" ok? So? You gonna elaborate?
